Empty Cattle Lots Warn
OF Big Meat Scarcity
By the Associated Press

/ CHICAGO, April 30--Empty cat
tie lots dot the midwestern land
scape today, ghostly reminder Of
last summers short corn crop. They
provide sad warning to people wrC
like to eat meat.
Market analysts said today the
empty feed lots mean tremendous
reduction in meat production, start
ing in about 30 days.
At this time of year, midwestern
farms normally are jammed with
cattle undergoing luscious grain
diet before being shipped to market
But it isn't that way this year.
Pessimism Voiced.
H. ]. Gramlich, agricultural agent
of the Chicago & Northwestern Rail
way, said many cattle feeders have
temporarily folded up"
In three mile strip paralleling
our line west of the Omaha stock
yards, where normally several
hundred thousand cattle are fatten-
ed each year, there does not now
appear to be a single head" Mr..
Gramlich said.
Mark Pickell, secretary of the
Corn Belt Livestock Feeders Asso-
citation, was equally pessimistic.
In trip through Southern
Illinois" he said, Il stopped at a
farm where I never have seen less
than 400 cattle on feed. The feed
lot gates were open. Not a head
was in there.
Alarming Decrease Denied.
Around Pleasant Plains, where
I've never seen less than 5000 or
5000 cattle on feed, and I've often
seen 10000 to $4,000, couldn't find
more than 1000"
Arthur Large, agriculture agent
OF the Rock Island Lines, said there
was substantial decrease in cattle
on feed but added, Il do not con-
slider it alarming"
Mr. Large said cattle numbers run
in cycles. 1T is an old-time tradi-
ton" he said, that no one has
been able to stop the cattle cycle
We are now on the downside of the
cycle and it will no. doubt run its
course before it starts up again. The
drop in the 1947 corn crop accentu-
ated the doWnside of the cattle
cycle"

johnson 10 Request
Congressional Probe
OF &-Day Meal. Strike
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Senator Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado said today he plans to
ask for a congressional inquiry into
the 46-day-old meat strike.
Senator johnson told a reporter
! he intends to introduce a reSolu-
ton, possibly today, to provide for
an examination of all the facts
and arbitration of the wage dispute
The strike has gone on too long,
he said. 1T is disrupting market
ing and injuring both consumers
and farmers"
The strike OF CIO packinghouse
workers began March Is. The union
demanded a wage increase of %
cents an hour The Big Four
