MUST PRODUCE (MORE
OR MUST EAT LESS
Meat Supply of the World
A Serious Problem
To Be Solved.
Either more meat must be pro
duced somewhere, or else hun
dreds of thousands of Americans
must stop eating it. If any one
doubts the remark, he has only
to consult the government re
ports on the subject to be con
vinced. They show that on Jan
uary 1, 1907, there were 75,534,-
000 cattle on the farms and
ranges of the United States, and
that on January Ist of the cur
rent year the number had fallen
to 56,527,000, a decrease of 19,-
000,000 in six years.
Our exports of cattle and of
fresh beef have almost ceased,
but as we never sent abroad in
one year more beef than could
have been produced by 1,500,000
cattle, we cannot console our
selves with the thought that we
are keeping our beef at home in
stead of selling it to foreigners.
There has been an actual de
crease in the supply of beef
available for home consumption,
and at the same time an increase
in the number of people to eat it.
The scarcity has affected the
price of meat in all parts of the
country. On the Pacific coast
consumers have been forced to
seek relief from Australia. When
this article was written, three
ship-loads of Australian beef had
arrived, consigned directly to the
retail butchers, who sold it for
fifteen or twenty cents less a
pound than they charge for na
tive meat.
Three ship-loads would supply
San Francisco and its suburbs
for little more than a week, if
none but Australian beef were
eaten, but the incident shows that
we can draw on the rest of the
world w’hen prices at home be
come intolerable.
And yet, even if the Pacific
coast should get all its meat from
Australia, the Atlantic coast
would he little better off. The l
eastern part of the country must ;
look to Argentina or to some j
other South American country
for relief. American business
men of foresight marked the
signs of the times several years
ago, and began to buy cattle
ranges in Argentina. They and ,
others are now shipping frozen
beef to Europe to supply the mar
ket dnee filled by American beef.
In the Netherlands, for examble,
Argentine beef sells for one-third
less than European meat, and
finds a ready market. In all
probability, it will soon be sold
in New York and Philadelphia
and other Atlantic coast cities —
if, indeed, it has not already!
found its way there.
Unless American farmers raise
more meat, this country will in
evitably be dependent on Aus
tralia and Argentina, and when
that happens, the price of meat
from those countries will rise to
the American level. The Depart
ment of Agriculture is trying to
prevent that. It points out that,
as the great Western ranges in
this country have been cut up in
to farms, the small farmers, be
ing freed from the competition
of the big l unches, can now raise
beef with profit at home.
Youth’s Companion.
Crow Out of Roosters.
Wild rumors on the local stock
exchange have it that common
and preferred in all companies
which manufacture alarm clocks
is going soaring to the skies this
spring, according to a dispatch
from Atlanta. The national
movement is underway to take
the crow out of roosters, or as
Mr. Goldburg would put it, to
take the “chant out of chanti
cleer.” These ruthless distur
bers of sweet slumber are to
have their vocal chords cut out
—a painless operation, it is de
clared and henceforth they will
rear hack, stre eh their necks and
whisper to the hens beside them
on the roost that morning light
is breaking.
THE MONTGOMERY” MONITOR—THURSDAY”, JULY 8, 1913
Valdosta Man Sees
Conditions In Mexico.
Valdosta, Ga., June 27. —Geo.
W. Varn of this city has just re
turned from El Paso, where he
went to look after his large Mex
ican interests. His brothers are
at Durango, Mexico.
Mr. Varn says that conditions
in Mexico are more chaotic than
they have ever been before,, and
he is confident that it is only a
question of a little while before
the Marlero faction will be in
charge of affairs there again. He
says that the sentiment of the
Mexicans seems to be with that
faction.
Mr. Varn says that if they get
control again it is certain that
they will change the policy which
was adopted by President Made
ro. He says the Maderoists say
now that a mistake was made in
liberating their enemies from
prison and showing them con
cessions. He thinks that the
leaders will either be placed in
prison or killed.
Mr. Varn and his brothers have
a claim $44,000 against the gov
ernment for stock which was ta
ken by the soldiers. The claim
has been approved, hut has not
been paid.
Pigeon “Homes” From
Brazil 4,200 Miles.
Jeannette, Pa., June 30.—The
record flight of a homing pigeon
from Rio Janeiro, Brazil, is re
ported by Stephen Krupa, a local
fancier. 'Last April he shipped
“Sunny Jim” and two other rac
ing pigeons to a Rio Janeiro
fancier, who liberated them ori
May 8. “Sunny Jim” put in an
appearance here yesterday, after
forty-eight days’ flight. Krupa
declares that a pigeon never be
fore “homed” from a point be
low the equator. The air line
distance from Rio Janeiro to this
city is about 4,200 miles, nearly
half of the distance being over
water.
