a LVESTOCK MEN URGING CONTROL BY UJ, 5, BOARL Present Memorial to Presiden Wilson Calling Attention to Problems FAVOR A JOINT COMMITTEI Thiik Department of Agriculturc and Food Administration Should Act. Washington, D, C., Feb. 14.—Presi- dent Wilson was urged Wednesday by a delegation from the American Live stock association to adopt a national livestock policy covering production and distribution as one problem. It was suggested that a joint committee of ‘the department of agriculture and the food .administration formulate such a policy. In a formal address accompanying the presentation of resolutions adopt-| ed by the association's convention, | Dwight. B. Heard .declared that the| ALLIES HAVE THE MOST MEN hard and fast line drawn between pro- duction and distribution was respon-, sible for unsatisfactory conditions. - “While the meat producer,” he sald, “sees, hia industry in serious danger as the result of the conditions men- tioned, he finds labor amply protected and receiving Jiberal returns, and the meat, packers, as. well as producers of steel, copper, flour, sugar, lumber and many ,ather, commodities making lib-/ ands of troops to positions behind the eral profits and as.a livestock produc- er, he naturally feels that he is en-|dication that the enemy is ready to titled to fair returns.” President Wilson and other govern- ment officials. were presented with a formal address and copies of the reso- lutions adopted by the National Live- stock association at their recent con- vention in. Salt Lake City. A special delegation from the organization, headed by I, T. Pryor, president and T. W. Tomlinson, secretary, made the} presentations, Tho formal address set! forth the viewpoint of the association,| regarding livestock conditions in gen- eral, was as follows: Danger of Food Shortage. “The democracies of the world to- day fighting to maintain their political | © independence, and to secure for their! children freedom from Prussian dom-} ination. The danger of food shortage! in America for the supply of our allies,! is threatening success in the war. For this reason we deem it the part of} good citizenship ‘to call your attention) to essential facts. “While for twenty years the crease of live stock for meat purpi in the United States has noi kept pace with the increase of population, we be. - Heve that there has been in the year just gone the greatest ‘breeding stock which has occurred in any one of the past twenty years. “Seventeen million, five hu fifty-two thousand five hundred sixt six head of cattle passed through the live stock centers in 1916 while in 1917 no less than 22,239,628 passed | through the same stock yards. Of the increased: number of cattle slaughter- ed, about 3,000,000 were immature Steers and young cows. | Shortage of Feed. “The feed shortage resulting from! unprecedented -drought over a large| area of the nation was such as to re-| quire a heavy slaughtering of the calf) crop inorder that there might be a greater probability of saving the lives of ithe mother cows. This makes in- evitable a short yearling crop for 1918. The severity of the winter storms in the northwest also tended to bring about the same result. As a conse-| quence of the impoverished conditions of the mother cow it is inevitable that they will produce a greatly reduced crop.of calves in 1918. Thus the feed conditions of 1917 will have affected the yearling crap of 1919. “Notwithstanding the conditions aboxe mentioned the past six months have seen hundreds of thousands of, young and immature cattle slaught- ered, returning to owners less than cost of production, This slaughter of immature ateers and young cows has cut into the beef supply of the im- mediate future as well as into the/ foundation for the production of years| to come..Many beef cattle being mark-| eted at. the present time are show’ ing | losses to owners. Since 1914 ‘two of! the three crops of beef marketed have returned a loss to the feeders. This, when we have a world war and every| part of the animal being paid for at/ the highest price to the consumer in the history of the country. In spite | of the results to the producer, the in-! terests that handle the products from | our cattle have shown for these same) years enormous profits, This fact, we; think,. will be made clear by the re-| part of the Federal Trade Commission | on the packing industry, which we| venture to hope will shostly te made public. ‘The Dairy Farnter. “The dairy farmer has fared noj| ducing brother. onomic losses, when organizing for the! purpose of securing a fair price for his product.he has béen threatened with wholésale prosecution and in some in-} cidents ‘indicted .under: the Anti-trust Jaw.

Bombardments and patrol encounters along the entire front are still taking place as for many days past, but the roar of the big guns nowhere has reached that volume of drumfire which in the past always has heralded an in- fantry attack of great proportions. While the German reinforcements have been coming up the entente com- manders have not beon lying idle and waiting for the offensive to begin. On the other hand they everywhere have strengthened their positions to met any emergency, and optimism is ex- ssed both from British and French es that should the Germans strike—no matter -how early the mo- ment—they will meet with most stub- | born resistance from gun and man power.

While the Austrians at last accounts were still trying out the Italian lines on, the Sette Communi and at other points, and meeting with sanguinary. defeat for their pains, behind the fighting lines they and the Germans are playing the role of vandals, using back to their own countries foodstuffs children are being brutally treated by the troops. Enemy submarines last week were unusually busy. ‘Nineteen British mer- chantmen and four Italian were sent to the bottom during the period, and in addition another Spanish steamer, the Calferino, was sunk. The feeling in Spain against Germany for the rec- ent destruction of two other Spanish vessels has been great.and doubtless the Spanish government will send an- other ‘strong protest to’ Berlin.
