A survey in 1920 showed that near
ly 80 per cent of the beef produced
was consumed in the north Atlantic
states. The next largest amount, or
"a per cent, was consumed in the
east-north-central division. In other
words, more than 90 per cent of the
total consumption was in the territory
east of the Mississippi and north of
the Ohio river and Maryland. The
smallest consumption was In the south
Atlantic division.
The survey of the beef cattle situa-
ton leads to the conclusion, accord
ing to the department experts. that
the period of. liquidation is over and
that when Industrial conditions and
retail prices permit a normal con-
sumption of beef, cattle producers
should be prosperous again.

BRITISH SWAT HOUSE FLIES
Decided Decrease in Infant Mortality
is the Result.

A reduction in the number of house
flies from myriads to a comparatively
few has been accomplished in Eng
land through sanitation and health
propaganda, according to a statement
by DR.. f. Halford Ross. medical as
SCISSOR at the ministry of pensions.
Doctor Ross toured the British Isles
last summer, and in those places
where previously there had been thou
sands of flies they were conspicuous
by their absence, he declares. Some
out-of-the-way villages and farm
houses still sheltered the grubs and
insects, but these locations were not
numerous.
There has been a very great de-
crease in the figures on infant mortal
ity. as compared &c 1911, and the i'm
provement is credited by Doctor Ross
TO the relative absence of flies.

Although there are fewer cattle in
the United States than in previous
years. it is possible to raise more beei
than when there were more cattle.
This somewhat contradictory state
ment is explained by the United States
Department of Agriculture by noting
that more beef cows are kept on
ranches and farms and beef cattle are
slaughtered at an earlier age.
In a discussion of the American
cattle industry during the last 10
years, the Yearbook of the depart
ment for 1921, just out. describes the
growth and changes of practice. The
use of younger cattle for beef, the
Yearbook explains, involves the use
Of more harvested feed to the amount

In the first place. Il should be oh.

flows cast ono season and west the
other season, or north one scason and
south the other season. For this
reason statistics show that during
the year 1921 better than 40 per cent
OF the sailing In international trade
were In ballast and without any
cargo whatever. Other sailings were
In part cargo only. The average
cargo carried In international trade
In 1921 was 37.7 per cent OF the ca.

average cargoes carried by ships be.
