FOR
ENFORCEMENT
OF FEED LAW
Booklet TO, BE Issued by Reg.
ulatOry Department For
Public'S Use

prcparations to enforce the new
| feeding stuffs law passed ut the last
| legislative session are being made
| by the state regulatory department
here a booklet advising the public
of the terms Of the law and the
manner in which it will operate has
been prepared by the department and
will be issued shortly.
The law requires that tags be at
tached to all bags or packages of
feed showing its kind and quality
as determined by the analysis Of
state chemists.
For ow-grade feeds yellow tag
will be used while white tags must
be affixed to packages containing
| high grade feeds. The act designates
/ low grade feeds as those containing
~ l-2 per cent or more of crude
| fiber or less than nine per cent of
protein.
| Department to Sell Tags
t The tags and labels will be pro-
vidcd by the regulatory department
must be purchased from it by manu-
| facturers. Tags for bags Of 100
pounds each will cost $40 per thou
sand; fifty-pound tags will cost Sc
| per thousand and % pound tags 81
per thousand. a fine of $50 is pro-
vided for using Il tag more than once.
The tagging provision of the law
| also makes. it applicable to concen-
tratcds feeds sold in bulk as a tag
Or label must be given to the pur
chaser with each 100 pounds de-
| livcrcd.
| All concentrated feeding stuffs
must be registered with the depart
ment but the registration need not
be renewed annually. Any change in
| the brand or composition of the feed,
however, cancels the registration and
makes a new application necessary.
Must List Many Items
In the case of all feeds the per-
centage Of the various ingredients
must be listed. Mineral feeds, in
addition to stating the percentage
Of crude fat. crude protein and crude
| fiber, must list the minimum percent
age of lime. phosphoric acid and
iodine and the maximum percentage
of salt.
The law also requires close check
on the quality Of the various regis
tered feeds to be kept by the depart
ment. On or before January 81 Of
each year samples of all feeds must
be submitted to the department to-
gether with sworn statement of the
amount sold or offered for sale dur
ing the preceding year.
| In addition to the samples submit
ted by persons making the feeds the
department is required to test sam
pies Of the same product purchased
on the open market.
Although the act is wide in its
scope certain kinds Of feeds do not
come within its provisions and need
not have tags. These ara straws. hay.

World Hide Condition.

1.-THE recently circulated statement
that VegetarlanS are responsible Tor
the present shoe and leather price in
creases is absurd said Mr.. Boyd to-
day. Shoes cost more because leather
costs more, but it is world hide condi-
tons which are responsible.
Since 1921 beef consumption per
capita in this country has increased
from $50 pounds to GA pounds. Veal
consumption annually has risen from
7 TO So pounds. Lamb consumption
has advanced from 5 TO 512 pounds
per inhabitant a year. Since shoe
leather comes from cattle, calves and
sheep. it is obvious the vegetarians
are not to blame. What is to blame
is the greatly increased demand for
shoes, coupled with reduction in sup
plies of leather.
Manufacturers of shoes in 1927
will have made 20,000,000 more pairs
Of shoes than they did in 1926. Tan
ners have Just succeeded in working
off stocks Of leather which have hung
over the market since the World
War. These stocks had kept the in
dustry on the verge Of bankruptcy
for years. Naturally competition be-
came so sharp that prices ceased to
represent real value or cost of pro-
duction. Now sole leather stocks are
down to a 40-day supply and sales
are returning a reasonable profit to
the tanner.
Stocks are down not only because
| tanners had to reduce them or face
| bankruptcy, but also because imports
have dropped off sharply. Our inn
ports in 1922 were 324,500,000 pounds
OF hides. Once it was possible to
get all the South American hides need
- I,1% Ill Ia
| into that market. Leather demand
has picked up everywhere, and so
| have prices.
Cattle Herds Short.
| 1.-THE most noteworthy fact in the
| situation, however, is that the cattle
population of the world has declined.
At the beginning of this year the
herds We're estimated at 100000 ami
mails short of the total of 1925 This
was about 1000, 900 less than the pre-
war average. In this country cattle
population has slumped from 69,000,-
600 cattle in 1923 to $500, 900 at the
beginning of this year. This has re-
| duced greatly the capacity of the coun-
| try to produce hides"
Most of the reptilian and other
| fancy feathers which are made into
women's shoes and bags are not
| reptilian at all. They are sturdy.
! lightweight calfskins with the de-
sired grain embossed on them in
such accurate designs that even the
| expert eye is occasionally deceived.
Leather manufacturers are just get

mills and will come out as turtle, ="

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 19.-The
stamp of cattle's hoofs on the ranges
of the West and the scufile of feet on
the sidewalks of the cities of the world
may seem far apart, but they, are init
mately related, according to Henry
w. Boyd. president of the Armour
Leather Co. Leather prices have gone
up and shoe prices have followed suit
and it is the condition of the herds on
the world ranges and their number
which are responsible, according to
Mr.. Boyd
The vegetarian has come in for
much blame in connection with the
high cost of shoes, but the sound
thinking men in the hide, leather and
shoe industries agree that he has had
little more to do with the advance
than ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS grass diet had
to do with the price of sandals in that
