NeU Lou Record for
Farm Animal MortaLitu

Nearly 100000 domestic animals
were lost from disease and exposure
on the farms of the United States
during the year ending with April.
1921, as the bureau of crop esti-
mates. United States department of
agriculture, has recently estimated,
and their value was about s150,000,-
900. These losses comprise abou.
$4,000 horses and mules, 5S5, 900
limbs, 1223.0o mature sheep, 1,743.-
900 cattle. and 2.946,oO0 swine.
While these numbers are large
from any point of view, yet they
represent low rates of mortality.
The rate for horses and mules, l47
per cent. has been exceeded for
many years, and the same statement
applies to 10 per cent loss of cat
tie from disease and 0.93 per cent
from exposure, to 1.4S per cent loss
of sheep from exposure, to 462 per
cent loss of lambs from disease and
exposure. and to 4.42 per cent Of
swine from disease, in this case with
the exception of two recent lower
years. Sheep diseases were fatal
about as usual. A mild winter was
favorable to the making of this low
record of mortality. 1t is also true
that animal mortality from diseases
is declining as the various public

TO VOTE
ON PACKERS BILL
House Ends Debate When
Amendments Fail of
Adoption.

The house yesterday finished de-
bate on the packer bill. A vote
will be had today. Its passage is
conceded.
Numerous amendments designed
to take the teeth" out of the meas
ure as 1t was reported by the house
agriculture committee were propos-
ed. but all were defeated.
Opponents OF the measure made
a strong effort to have strickep
out section 311. which gives the
secretary OF agriculture control
over rates and charges of packing
plant products when they are found
to be excessive. The amendment
was defeated. 56 to 55.
Absence OF a quorum made a vote
on passage of the bill Impossible
yesterday. A majority OF the mem
bers of the house still were out
OF the city. and the vote was post
poned.
The bill Is substantially in the
same shape in which 1t was re-
ported to the house. It places the
packing industry under control of
the secretary of agriculture, who
would have supervision over meat
packing plants and stockyards. Pro-
visions in the bill also would di-
vorce the big FIVE" packers from
their extensive side-lines of busi-
ness.
