V. 8. FOOD ADMT I8TRATION
NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warring Nations Have Depleted Llvw
Stock at Enormous Rate, Evei
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.
American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their flocks and
herds In order to meet Europe's tre
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food adminis
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
co-operate with the government In In
creasing the nation's suddIv of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than anv oth
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
Into France and then retreated vir
tually all the cattle In the invaded
territory approximately 1,800,000
head were driven behind the German
lines.
Bat In England where 2.400.000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September.
117.76 per 100 pounds ; October, $17.28:
isovemher and I)ereniber. $16.08: Jan-
la ry, $14.40. The effect of these Drices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as posKllile.
In Frnnce the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,807,000 head of
cattle In 1013, she now has only 12,
841,000, a decrease of 16.6 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gullon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely In the produc
tion of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.
BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD
There has been much misunder
standing about the bread program in
England. It is true thut the English
man buys a loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it Is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $200,000,000 a year toward tha
cost of it
All the grain grown In Great Brit
ain Is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul
terated war bread loaf of four posnds
to sell at 18 cents, the two pound loaf
at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at 0
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex
traction, the four pound loaf sails for
16 cents.
MAKING MEATLE9B
DAYS PERMANENT.
In the meatless menu there Is a fer
tile field for developing new and nour
ishing dishes, sccordlug to E. II. NUet,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be
lieves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow mure
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making it worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables,
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served In very small portions as s fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
broad field for investigation,
