Bungling in Beef
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer
The Livestock and Beef Council of Chicago has
expressed the fear that the nations beef shortage
will grow increasingly unless drastic changes
are made in the Federal meat management program
The council has presented to Washington plan
which, it contends will do much to solve the problem
Under present conditions it is certain that much
of the grain which formerly used to feed out
finish cattle for the market being diverted to
other channels Farmers who in past years have fed
over the winter bands of beef cattle will not do it
this year Their grain will bring more on the market
than it will after it is converted into meat
Thus the Western cattemen, instead of getting
rid of their yearlngs Eastern feeders and starting
until they are two Odds will produce calf crop
only every other year The annual output OF beef,
then, will necessarily be reduced.
If the government is pursuing this policy after
due study and consideration, the people should know
it, If it is believed necessary to convert more and
more grain to other essential uses and thus to
cut down the finished beef available for civilian USE
this decision should be explained fully to the public
It is entirely possible that such reason lies
behind the present program of holding grain prices
point the feeding out of cattle is not profit
lbe But if such is the case, the government has
been keeping it secret.
If on the other hand the condition exists merely
Is result of governmental bunglng and in the
,bsence better explanation that is being assumed
II most quarters-then, certainly, it is time for
hange Unless the demands of war clearly and
easonaby necessitate siphoning of more and more
grain from the cattle industry the program OF the
livestock and Meat Council should be studied care
FULLY and if it is found practicable it should be put

New Ways of Preserving Food
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The war has demonstrated in a most remarkable
way the value of forzen foods and dehydrated foods
When peace returns there is bound to be much wider
among the general public of preserved meats fruits
and vegetables Frozen foods, If kept frozen, will last
pparently forever. Dehydrated foods have the i'm
nense value of concentration. A bushe of spinach
when dehydrated for instance, would not fill cigar
box. All vegetables 80 per cent water and the
iehydrated process simply removes the water and
caves everything else. For cooking the water must
be restored by soaking
The frozen method be very satisfactory, rs
shown by the example of the mammoth which fell
into crevice during the ice in Siberia and there
was frozen solid. Within recent times the melting
ice exposed this mammoth and the natives found its
meat to be edible and palatable Its hide and skeleton
is now to be seen in Leningrad.
No one can tell whether that mammoth was frozen
10000 or $4,000 years ago. 1t does not matter The
point is that freezing keeps meat sound and sweet
indefinitely. In the near future we shall find every
farmhouse equipped with either deep freeze" or a
dehydratng plant or both.

recently guessed correctly in predicting Allied war

Autumn, the Allies will onto the italian boot

The Allies invaded Italy, SO it might be worthwhile

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER "a

Eenefic aspects rule today 1t is
IA favorable date for pushing bust
Iness interests and fortunate for adj
vertising.
HEART AND HOME: Women
should be fairly lucky under this
| CONFORMATION which is believed to
give them success when seeking en-
ployment or asking for promotions
1t is an suspicious date for sign
ing contracts. especially leases, be-
cause Judgment should be clear and
foresight dependable. Under this
configuration members of the fam
lily should be taught the value of
the money they earn. Certain as
poets seem to warn of continued
generous spending by young men
and young women well paid in the
war industries. 1t is imperative
that they should not delay in pre-
pairing for the inevitable rainy day
which will follow wartime. Dollars
should pay for war bonds, instead
of cocktails and cigarettes.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Early con-
version of war plants should be con-
sidered now. according to a reading
of the stars which presage surpris-
ing and unforeseen events on de-
Icisive battlefronts. 1t is still long
way to Berlin and also to Tokyo,
but inyasions will be pushed at ex-
ltraordinary speed. 1t has been
prognosticated that the end of the
world conflict would not be reached
until 1945 or later. The prophesy
that 1943 would show which side
would achieve victory apparently
has been early fulfilled.
NATIONAL ISSUES: With the
advance of autumn partisan feeling
will color the political map which
to the average voter must appear
confusing, it is forecast. The cam
paign of Wendell Willkie will gather
tremendous momentum through the
coming year. 1t has been prophe-
sled that President Roosevelt will
run for a fourth term.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
The configuration marking the aut-
umnal ingress presages grave pol
itical troubles centering in Calcutta
The elimination of Uranus is be-
lieved to influence conditions of in
tense interest to United Nations
India is to be much in the news
headlines. A coup of some sort is
to command world attention and
TO foment intense feeling at time
when the prospect of rapid advance
toward victory cheers the United
Nations.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of mixed for
tunes. Unusual benefits will reward
patience and fortitude.
Children born on this day prob
ably will have marked talents that
assure success, but fortunes are
likely to vary through the years.

Canadians are getting more gas

Bridges. And they are getting it
in tankers, despite the fact that We

Senator Bridges, however, has run

gets is established by higher offic-

ALLIES NEED MEAT

We will have to increase ship
ments of meat to our allies by six
or seven times next year. Nor
mally we import cheese from Euro
ope. But next year we will have to
send over 100000, 900 pounds OF
cheese to Allied armies and civ
ilians.
We have also been requested to
export 20 times as much condensed
and evaporated milk as before the
war plus a billion pounds of LARD,
compared to an average annual
shipment of 165,000,000 pounds.
To supply both ourselves and al
lies we must produce at least 700,-
100000 additional pounds of cheese
next year, as well as 30O,00O,OO0
extra pounds Of dry beans and peas,
plus about 500 million pounds of
edible oils.
That is why the Office of Econ
omic Warfare is enlisting Sam
Zemurray, of the United Fruit Co.,
to advise on making contracts with
Latin American farmers for deficit
foods. The CEW will supply tech
nical advice, farm machinery, fer
tilizer, insecticides, etc. A separ-
ate farm program will be under
taken in North Africa to supply food
to our troops there
Political advisers figure that the
President will run into the biggest
legislative storm on Capitol Hill
since his Supreme Court fight. But
despite this he plans to go ahead.
NOTE-The country hardest hit
for food is Russia, which, having
lost its richest grain-growing areas
in the Ukraine, is now producing
only 40 per cent of its normal food.
The people of Russia will be on
the verge of starvation this winter,
even with U. S. food imports.
