Public Anxious About Gain in Meat Prices;
Lowering oi Supply Makes Famine Imminent
By H. H MAC A
Recent developments resulting
from tbe world wide war have boost
«and prices in such an alarming way
that people arc believing there is
no lluitt. Tbe government crop re
porta early in tbe month showed
such an Immense shrinkage In the
winter wheat crop when eompared
with the showing made on this date
last year that apprehension* <*f a
famine are ezpreseed on every
band. The recent rapid gam in
market prices for all kin<fo of fresh
meats and domestic animals tends
to increase the anziety in Conner
tlon with the future high cost of
llvlrx and there are those high up
in the councils of the nation, who
are suggesting government control
as the only means of controlling
conditions.
That the .foundation supply of
rattle, sheep and hogs Is rapidly de
creasing is generally conceded and.
t« usual at tbe el* venth hour, wise
seres are coming forward with be
lated suggestions of a remedy. The
indiscriminate slaughter of young
breeding stock of ail kinds has long
been regarded as little less than a
crime by everyone who appreciates
the necessity for conservation and
enlargement in every branch of the
national food supply, rendered nee
rsaarv by a rapidly increasing popu
latton The demand for drastic leg
islation is becoming so emphatic
that congress and the legislatures
of the various states, will hardly
find It possible -to much longer de
fer taking action Ir connection with
so Important a subject The pas
sage of a law making It a misde
meanor punishable with a fine or
imprtifonment to slaughter a fe
male calf, lamb or pig during the
nett five years would meet the
need* of the case and would assist
tn restocking the country with nal
rnals whkh under the present syw
tem will soon become so scarce and
high that they can no longer be
used aa tood by the average work
ingman.
In all markets the scarcity of
long-fed bullocks has forced killers
to turn their attention to tidy cat
