HOUSING SITUATION

The housing situation is as acute
as ever and will continue SO as long as
the Real Estate board continues its
agitation of combining us to certain
districts, in that they plan and try to
either put you where they want you
or to build where they control land
in localities that are not acceptable to
whites. AS we see tit is Just an
other spoke in the wheel Of progress,
Of segregation and denial of the right
to be your own judge as to'where you

No unit will be put up for less than

NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

HOUSTON, Tex, May 14-The
meat that you buy without ration
points is going to be just as tough
as the meat you have been getting.
Before long it will be even less
tender-and more third, fourth or
fifth rate.
Prime and choice meats are be-
ing cut to a minimum, by DELHI
crate government action which is
justified in part by military needs
and which undoubtedly will last
until the war is won. The purpose
is to save grain for other uses.
1t is pretty generally under
stood that hogs are fattened on
grain. But fewer persons realize
that the best beef also is grain
fed. The normal process, which
the war has interrupted, is this:
On the ranges of the southwest,
principally, cattle live on rather
sparse grass and shrubs for their
first few months until they weigh
perhaps 500 pounds. Then they
are sent for fattening either to the
usher grass pasture of Kansas and
Oklahoma or to the feed lots OF
the corn belt-Iowa, Minnesota
Wisconsin, Illinois.
RANGE BEEF is TOUGH
Prime beef. and much choice
meat, comes from the feed lots,
and it is from them that the met
ropolitan markets get most OF
their beef. Range beef is tough
and unsatisfactory-so much so
that, in the ranch country, res
turants and meat markets adver-

Tougher Meat Possible:
Grain Feed Goes To War

ment figures, there are % per cent
less cattle in feed lots in the corn
belt than there were a year ago,
which contrasts strangely with the
fact that overall there are six per
cent more beef cattle than last
year and 26 per cent more than
the 193342 average.
The OPA has deliberately made
the feeding of grain to cattle un-
profitable by arranging prices and
subsidies to- penalize the practice.
This is nobody's inference. The
intention has been stated freely
and clearly. The feeding of grain
to hogs also is discouraged.
The prices of cattle, hogs and
grain have been so adjusted that
last year it was more profitable
for the farmer to feed his grain
to hogs than to cattle - so there
was a huge superabundance of
hogs that glutted the market.
Then it was decided to reduce the
raising of hogs.
CEILING CUT
While I was visiting with one
packer, a telephone call reported
that the ceiling price on hogs
weighing over 240 pounds was to
be cut by rs cents a hundred
weight. And grain makes nicer
meat than grass and shrubs.
Therefore, close control over
grain feeding tends to restrict the
production of the finer meats.
Cattle that formerly would
have been sent to the lush pasture
and grain feed areas now remain
on desert and semi-desert range
in the southwest that already is
overpopulated by the overall in
