Un der war conditions llve-etock market uncertainties are Intensified and the of production Is very greatly in- ised Therefore, In the absence f reasonable assurance of prices Which will cover the cost of produc tion, a decrease in live stock seems Inevitable f If In tbe present emergency the imount consideration is an la in production, we feel the Cernmcnt should announce ana an- to the policy that in tbe huge purchases of meats and other live stock products which are to be made tkrough a common purchasing agen w of our nation and its allies, such prices will be paid as shall assure the producer a reasonable margin over the cost of production, and we iadiere that the government should take effective measures through the Isosnaing power granted in the food fjfi to wee that tbe largo packing asneernt do not by their present con trol of the central markets deprive fee producer of a Just profit, and Ant every agency of the government ohould be employed to eliminate all SSnnlpulatlve and speculative efforts In the handling of live stock and its products; that all waste in distribu tion should i- ascertained and stop ped to the end that the consumer se raree his meat supply at the lowest possible price consistent with sound economic prlncples. We believe that careful consideration should be given to the establishment of a definite re lation between the values of hogs and corn. 7. We thoroughly endorse Mr. Hoover's efforts to prevent reprehen sible speculation in food products of oil kind. 8. Hie work of the Department of Agriculture, based upon its study of marketing conditions, Is most valua ble and we urge Its continuance, to tbe end that market abuses may be lone away with and that all unnec essary expense between tbe producer OOd the consumer be eliminated. We feel that it Is most necessary that whatever methods are adopted as war measures In connection with tbe live-stock industry should be based on such sound economic prln elples as to adjust themselves read Hy after the war to the needs of our steadily growing oonulution. which abould be maintained as a meat-eat ing nation. 9. We urge upon the food admin titration and the War department tbe need of conserving both the gar tags and manure produced at the warious cantonments A wise use of ens Kaihauo for hog feeding will re- jvalt in the production of some mil Hons of pounds of pork from food Which would otherwise go to waste. The distribution of the manure upon lands near such cantonments will reduce additional food values equiv ajent to from $2 to $5 por ton for all tbe manure to distributed. It. We recommend that central retail markets under effective gov ernmental control and regulation be established in the larger cities of the country where meat and meat prod- octs inny be sold to the consumer at post from the packing house plus a reasonable percentage of profit 11. We earnestly recommend the earing as far as practicable of heifer .ui..r. ewes and sows suitable for 12. We urge that every possible effort should be made by the gov ernment to stablliie conditions on the range and encourage by liberal regulations iereased stock production within the nationsl forests, the Indi an reservations and on the unappro priated public lands. More specifically we recommend: ut :i a 1 (Ami: a. That a sufficient emergency ap propriation bo made by congress to be used for the prompt selection and withdrawal of live-stock trails and watering places, as contemplated un--4er the recently enacted 640-acre grazing homestead law. b That an effort should be made by the proper authorities to arrange for the discount by federal reserve banks of Jive-stock paper drawn for aa long a period as twelve months. c. That the drought conditions in ik vomer n range country should be brought to the attention of the In terstate Commerce Commission, with reoutst that the commission ex ercise ItB authority to put In force a uwrI.i fr.ieht rate on l.ve stock SJUiniWt mm which will permit ibi' """ such stock from tbe drought areas to districts where feed muy be obtained tor a time, and it return. A special freight rate, properly safi guarded, would make it Potable to conserve large numbers of live stock which may otherwise be sacrificed. d. Reliable daily information as to market conditions iB most necas aary We therefore recommend ihal tbe Bureau of Market of the De partment of Agriculture, at the ear iwiauihle date, arrange to fur- nlah such information by wire to the and to all markets, ana mui i, arraneements are com- !ted the sending of unofficial re ports to the daily or weekly press or ZT.ho .ihtie markets be forbidden. e That the cattle industry in the h verv greatly extenaea if danger from tbe cattle tick can be eliminated We recommend that the Department of Agriculture deal with ,ki. ... .n..r an a war measure.

That the present unsatisfactory conditions of the dairy tadustry has been brought about by Dairymen all over the United States have been forced to meet these con ditions by marketing their less prof itable cows, and this hss resulted in a decrease in the total production of milk In proportion to the population. I The necessary advance In the price 'of milk has caused complaint among I consumers who are not Informed as I to the legitimate causes for such ad jvsnce. It is deairabie that there shall be instituted a campaign of ed lucatlon to make plain the true food lvalue of milk, and we recommend that in instituting such a campaign a most earnest effort be made by gov ernment officials to secure the co operation of the dally press. A spec ial effort should be made to Inform the public of the value of skimmed milk both for children and adults, and of tbe value of cottage cheese, the greater manufacture of which would save as food large quantities of skimmed railk which is now wast ed. b. That purchases of dairy prod ucts by governmental agencies should be at prices which will fully cover the actual cost of production Trices ower than these will tend further to discourage the dairy industry. c. That a very largo Increase in he production of railk and milk pro ducts can be brought about by s bet er understanding of scientific meth ods of feeding and of selection of high producing cows. We therefore suggest that a strenuous effort be made to Increase the number of cow- testing associations. d. That the efforts to prevent the marketing of dairy calves for most purposes are not well directed. The average dairy farmer finds it neces sary to dispose of his calves at the earliest age at which they may be used for meat purposes, because. first, his entire milk output is need ed to supply his customers and is more valuable there than when fed to calves; second, because at tbe high prices of foodstuffs that have tbe above resnlts and- increasing the production of pork and pork prod uct: 1 Reduce to the minimum amount of grain required In tbe hog's ration by utilising pasture and forage crops In the present emer gency pigs should be marketed at a JJOd jo Snuno onion jo eanyajd eui On ami 'o -vdojd ivaoneonr Xo nueixra e spunod nni rx or tn ion ui.-i.. 3. Extend to the utmost the or ganisation of pig clubs under tbe di rection of tbe federal Department of 1th which Is unable longer to bear range hardships but which will resdlly re spond to the more favorable feed and enre afforded by the small farm Is most valuable for redistribution the farm. d. The western range Industry has been greatly reduced by the rapid p.isMng of the public domain into the hands of private owners, and there ' Agriculture and In co-operation remain practically no lands on the the state agricultural colleges public domain that are fit for any other use than for the grstlng of live stock They should therefore be used for that purpose and sold or leased for gracing purposes under ?u h governmental regulations as 111 develop their carrying capacity for live stock and greatly increase ;he production of meat and wool. We earnestly request national legislation which will effect this result. Congress should likewise enact legislation providing for the sale or lease as "Isolated tracts" of small area of land, not exceeding 40 acres In one tract, which are sur rounded by private entries. f. The stray and useless dog is the enemy el the sneep. we approve the bill now pending in congress to impose a federal tax upon all dogs. We recommend that all state legis latures should enact laws protective of the sheep grower against dog dep redations. We suggest that the Bureau of the Census in its plans for the Fourteenth Census provide a schedule of docs on farms and not of farms. g. The practice of speculation in large quantities of lambs and wool should be discouraged throuth every agency available. h. Some sections of our country are stocked to their capacity with mother ewet from which lambs are marketed at from seventy to eighty pounds This is the most economic method of producing mutton. What we need is more ewes producing the seventy-pound lamb. We urge that every ewe lamb which promises an economic future should be saved from slaughter. HtK.S a. Tsrk constitutes more than one half of all tbe meat produced in the United States Next to the dairy cow, hogs return a greater .amount of human food in proportion to the amount of feed consumed than any H.

High feeundi- carry the. calves for any length of time. Restriction on the sale or slaughter of calves would reduce the milk supply. e. That the redistribution of dairy stock can best be promoted through the county agents, and we suggest that a central oruaniaation within the Department of Agriculture can best direct such distribution MUMP a. Owing to not only a natinsal but a world shortage cf wool and mutton it Is immediately necessary that our sheep industry should be encouraged on the western range and the small farms of the country. b. The federal Department of Ag riculture and the state agricultural college atod experiment stations should to the greatest extent, con sistent with their appropriations, ex- ty makes posible the restoration of our hog stocks with great rapidity after periods of liquidation. Fork is the main Stay of the meat ration of the laboring man and of the sol dier. b. It is therefore incumbent on the nation to increase in every prac ticable way the output of hogs from our farms, and at tbe same time con serve in every ponstble way stocks of grain. Not only should our output of pork be Increased from the stand point of its direct effect on the econ omics of farm operations but also on account of the extent to which hog raising on farms enables the farm ers to produce a considerable quan tity of the meat required for borne use. c.

Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fi-esh as a daisy by open ing the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water Willi a teaspoon ful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's indigestible wartte, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and puri fying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonder fully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phos phate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. The millions of peopc who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism ; others who hfive sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, which will cost but little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro nounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation. 4
