CATTLE FAMINE IS
SERIOUSPROBLEM
Packers Becoming Alarmed at
PUT BLAME ON THE FARMERS
Bale of Young Beef Stock Is Held Re
sponsible for Shortage Urges Law
Prohibiting Sale of Cows and Heif
ers Under Seven Years.
Council Bluffs, la., Aug. 12. The
scarcity of cattle has thoroughly
alarmed the officers of the South Oma
ha Live Stock company and also the
packers, and a few days ago the man
ager for the Cudahys Baid they might
be compelled to close their cattle kill
ing houses' entirely. Ho pictured a
very pessimistic picture of tho future
if the fanners did not pay more at
tention to the production of cattle.'
General Manager ltucklngliam of tho
Block yards also talked lu. severe
tcrnm of the beef shortage, of Its con
sequences to trado and .labor and, of
possible means 6( correcting the evil,
lie advocates the jiassage pf laws pro
hibiting the eale of cows and heifers
and providing a penalty for It for a
rumour of years. He, criticises , the
public, which he holds responsible for
some of the shortage. . Ho says the
public demands veal and will have
nothing else for months at a time, and
nays the country needs a lesson or two
In the matter of, conservation.
Farmers Are Responsible.
However, Mr. Buckingham charges
the farmers with the greater part of
the responsibility for the present beof
shortage and nay that the mad scram
ble to take ndvantnge of tho present
high prices for beef of any and all
kinds is causing thousands of short
sighted stock growers Into the error of
selling off all their young cows and
heifers, thus endangering the propaga
tion of beef supplies throughout the
country. He says the craze Is nation
wide. ,
It is said that a number of South
American republics have passed laws
forbidding the sale of the stuff under
seven years and Mr. Buckingham
hopes for a similar law here.
"While are all ranting about the
high price of beef," Mr Buckingham
says, "II seems that we are not get
ting right down to the real cause or
looking for a remedy. What everyone
interested In live stock, should do ia
to' encourage the. raising of more 'cat
tle. In sections of country there
Is room for tho breeding, of millions
more cattle , and hogs As long as the
cattle shortage exls.ts there will be a
better market for hogs, so they should
not be neglected. With the great
