Is There a Meat Shortage?
At the beginning of each year the United
States Department of Agriculture makes an es-
m me country, ana once every ten years the
census bureau, through its large staff of inves
tigators, brings forth what may well be consid
ered to be a more exact count. There is always
a difference between the two sets of figures, and
in 1910 the Department of Agriculture claimed
33,000,000 more cattle than were found by the
census. Public attention is called to similar, al-
though less startling discrepancies by a Chicago

According to the census report he finds there arc
almost 10,000,000 fewer sheep in the United States
' than were estimated by the Agricultural depart-
; ment, and 14,000,000 fewer hogs. Taking into
consideration the increase in the number of peo-
'ple in the ten-year period, he declares that the
per capita supply of cattle is one-third less; of

is larger than it really is.
The census figures were gathered a year ago,
before the process of deflation had started. Even
if its findings approximated the truth at that time,
they do not apply with full force now. Mr.
JVlynck calls attention to the decrease of 18 per
. rjnf in i9 numSor nf rattle claiiorhfpr in the1
last 11 months. His opinion is that this is due
to a shortage, but there is room for Questioning
if this does not signify an increase since the

in view ot tnis coniusion ana tne rapia
changes -h: :i have befallen agriculture in the last
year, a n ";and, is arising tor a new agricultural
census. The committee of agriculture of the
. Omaha Chamber of Commerce is one of the ad
vocates 1 1 such a plan. If, within the next year
a careful count of the live stock on the farms of
the country should be . made, a start would
thereby be made toward putting the industry on
a scientific basis. .
ficient finances and the disturbed conditions about
it. Much that it is laying out for itself is ex
perimenral, but the dogged courage of pioneers,
seems to characterize the people. Profit sharing
under state regulation; social insurance for sick'
ness, maternity, accident, unemployment, old age
and invalidity; regulation of hours; child wel
fare; safety; sanitation; health and minimum
wage have been provided by legislation. Farm
ownership is being made possible by breaking up
the huge estates and thirteen agricultural . col
leges are to be opened each year for the next ten
years.
Unrest is said to be at a minimum where this
adventure in applied idealism is being under
taken, for whether the feat is too great to be ac
complished at one bound or not, and even if all
these objectives are not warranted, at least a
fair trial is being made. Americans are apt to
think of these far-off lands as being poor and
backward, and it is good that we should learn
what remarkably promising strides are actually
being made.
Problems in Race Multiplication.
Offhand, the rest of the world would say
that there are enough Turke, but in Anatolia, it
seems, the problem of depopulation is considered
. pressing. Under a proposed law every man of
more than 25 years old must marry, any married
man moving to another town must either take
li is wife with him or marry anew, and as an in
ducement to large tamilies the father ot three
or more children would have the right to send
them free of charge to a government boarding
school.
Within limits such arrangements might have
the desired result, but they could be too success

should continue new outlets must be provided.
Anatolian statesmen wish more population;
. f i ft A-
Japanese statesmen wisn lor less, or ai an events,
desire to lower the rate of increase. . The head
of the department of medical affairs of Japan is
now visiting in Holland, Germany, England and
the United States, studying birth control prop

A Bright Spot in Europe.
Nebraska and Iowa know the Czechs and
Slovaks as thrifty, intelligent immigrants, the
backbone of many a prosperous farming com-)
munity. Of their home country, a fertile land
in mid-Europe about the size of Iowa, but with
a population six times as large, however, Ameri
cans know little. One of the new republics
created out of Austria-Hungary, under President
T. G. Masaryk, who is aided by a cabinet made
up, not of politicians but of men thoroughly
trained and expert in their chosen lines, it is set
tling down to its tasks and is said to be the most
prosperous country in Central Europe today.
As such it well deserves the attention given
it in the current issue of the Survey magazine.
To point out that Czecho-Slovakia is rich in
natural resources does not fully explain its
progress toward recovery. Nor does the secret
lie in its 200 shoe factories, its 450 weaving mills,
90 spinning mills, 100 steel mills and smelters,
600 coal mines, its sugar production, its forests,
its porcelain factories and the famous Bohemian
glassware industry.
Back of all these material advantages is some
thing more. For one thing, as the writers in the
Survey point out, Czecho-Slovakia is imbued
with a desire to co-operate with its neighbors, to
forget the sufferings and prejudices of the past
in the desire for peace and reconstruction. It
is interesting to note that while in most countries
patriotism is usually associated with conserv
' atism and emphasis on the achievements of the
past, in this new nation it signifies instead an
eagerness to press on to altered and better arrangements.
There is a wonderful story in the progress of
- thia little state, hamoered though it is by insuf-
New Problems of Tariff.
The greatest question now before congress
is that of the tariff. Party lines, it may be pre
dicted, will not hold when the Fordney bill is
brought to a showdown, for in the confused con
dition of world affairs many preconceived opin
ions are being shed and some things that for
merly were true now appear false. Among the
advocites of a high tariff to shut out foreign
made goods are many democrats and opposing
it may be found some republicans. It is neces
sary that a summing up of the differences of
opinion should be made in order that the issue
may be clarified.
First of all in opposition to a high protective
tariff come the international bankers who explain
that through war America has changed from a
debtor nation to a creditor, with the annual in
terest on our public and private foreign loans
amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Financiers deeply involved in this matter declare
that these loans can never be paid, nor even tl;e
interest, if we cut down importation of foreign
products.
During the war American manufacturers en
tered export trade and today, while they have
one eye ori the home market, with the other they
are squinting at the foreign market Some of
the larger export concerns fear the outbreak of
a commercial war if duties on foreign goods are
placed too high. In deference to this opinion
provisions for what is called a "bargaining tariff"
are being pushed in congress. Such arrange
ments would permit the president to raise or lower
duties in accordance with the action of other
countries.
The reason given for this is that the productive
capacity of the people of the United States is in
excess of its ability to consume and that foreign
markets must be developed to take the surplus.
Some of the more radical opponents of a high
protective tariff make the point that although it
would help some manufacturers to keep the
domestic market, it would raise the cost of liv
ing and wages, thus making it difficult for export
manufacturers to turn out goods cheaply enough
to compete in the, foreign field.
It may be seen that the question of tariffs is
no longer a partisan one. The only question in
volved is by what means full employment at
good wages may be assured to the people of the
United States. It is conceivable that a nation
producing what it consumed and consuming
what it produced would be highly prosperous
without any foreign trade. However, America
now has a great merchant marine which ought
to be used in ocean traffic
It was just that the emergency act contain
ing the farm tariff should have been passed.
Against the dumping of products from Germany
or any other country American labor and capital
must be protected. Wages abroad are lower
than here and living standards, too. The tariff
is a handy weapon to be used against unfair
competition, but its construction is a matter for
scientific attention, removed from the prejudices
of partisantsm. The best interests of the whole
people will be served if duties are not pitched so
high as to bring in little revenue or to interfere
with whatever interchange of goods will.be ad
vantageous to Americans as consumers and net
injurious to them as producers.
A Tiff With Mother-in-Law.
An old lady 77 years old started for a ride
in the family automobile, but just as she was
about to step into the car a servant touched her
on the arm to remind her to keep her place and
let her daughter-in-law get in first She may
have been tired, for they had just gone through
the exciting experience of watching a polo game,
and it seems only natural that a grandmother
should be permitted to climb up on the cushions
at any trme she likes. That is the way it would
be in most families, even though relations with
daughters-in-law may be strained.
But the car was a royal equipage, the old lady
was Dowager Queen Alexandra and the daughter-in-law
whom she attempted to precede was
Queen Mary of England. An official tugged at
the old lady and after this public rebuke she
stepped back into her proper place.
This does not seem to be common sense or
even ordinary politeness. It is said that Alex
andra, who in her day was quite a. lively queen,
has constantly embarrassed her son and his wife
by refusing to take a back seat when any royal
homage was being passed about Her4 love of
display and insistence that merely because King
Edward is dead she is not a back number no
doubt has been irritating. But all this hullabaloo
about who will enter the royal car' first strikes
ordinary folk more as poor taste and vulgarity
than as a demonstration of regal qualities.
How Indians Grew Corn
Evolution From Wild Grass
Reproduced by Bur bank
R. H. Moulton in St Louis Post-Dispatch.
The Chicagoan who slew a merchant because
of the price asked for a bed would have relieved
himself more efficiently of the high cost of sleep
ing if he had made himself the victim.
Germans arc now agitated by reports of a
British-American alliance for world domination,
which illustrates the point that one must go
away from home to hear the news.
Fort Crook cars have been called immoral
on account of their crowded condition. Ah, yes
there was a crooked man and he rode a
crooked mile.
Two Chicago hotels have reduced their room
rates, which is the first sign of deflation in any
kind of rent.
The woman's party has formed an advisory
council probably with a member jn every home.
Some folks say, "Fie on Fifi," and others say,
"Plague on both your housea."
The plant which botanists- have always con
sidered the probable ancestor of our present va
rieties of maize is a wild grass called teosinte.
They have long believed that the presence of In
dian corn in America represented an evolution
brought about by crude plant-breeding methods
of the Indians, extending through untold cen
turies. Luther Burbank, in order to prove the
truth of this theory, has now carried the plant
through successive developments and produced
perfect ears of corn in the miraculously short
period of eighteen years. Public announcement
of this prodigy, which has been proceeding
quietly at Burbank's experimental farm in Cali
fornia since 1903, and which constitutes one of
the most notable achievements of the plant
wizard's life, has just been made.
It was a savage Indian, says Burbank, who
gave us, here in America, the most important
crop we have. It was the Indian who found the
wild grass, teosinte, covering the plains, and de
veloped it into corn. Or, to turn it the other way
around, it was the desire of the Indian for a food
plant like this which led the teosinte grass, by
gradual adaptation, to produce maize. On Bur
bank's farm there grows, today, this same teo
sinte which the Indian found. It bears tiny ears,
with two rows of corn-like kernels, on a cob the
thickness of a lead pencil, and from two to four
inches long slightly less in length than an aver
age head of wheat.
Found Indian an Ally.
From its earlier stage of "pod" corn, in which
each kernel was incased in a separate sheath, or
husk, like wheat, teosinte represented, no doubt,
a hard-fought survival and adaptation like that
of the flowering violet. And when the Indians
came into its environment it responded to their
influence as the pansy responded to care and cul
tivation in its new dooryard home.
Where teosinte had formerly relied upon the
frosts to loosen up the ground for the seed, it
found in the Indian a friend who crudely but ef
fectively scratched the soil and doubled the
chance for its baby plant to grow. Where it had
been choked by plant enemies, and starved for
air and sunlight by weeds, it found in the Indian
a friend who cut down and kept off its competi
tors. '
Planted in patches, instead of struggling here
and there as best it could before, the teosinte
grass found its multiplication problem made
easier through the multitude of pollen grains now
floating through the air. And so, by slow de
grees, it responded to its new environment by
bearing more and bigger seed. As the seed ker
nels increased in numbers and size, the cob that
bore them grew in length. From two, the rows
of kernels increased to four, to six, to eight, to
fourteen. Here, again, the selfish motives of the
savages served to help the plant in its adaptation
for only the largest ears and those with the
best kernels were saved for seed. So, -under cul
tivation, the wild grass almost disappeared, and
in its place there came, through adaptation, the
transformed Indian corn.
This, in brief, summarizes Burbank's theory
of the original evolution of teosinte into corn.
How many centuries were required to bring about
the development we can only conjecture, for when
white settlers came to America they found not
the tiny wild teosinte, but Indian corn, or maize,
bearing eight-inch ears, with fourteen rows of
large kernels to the ear nature's response to the
simple plant-breeding methods of the savage. It
is not even known how long the Indians had been
cultivating this improved corn. That it was long
before the appearance of Europeans, however, is
evident not only from its early and widespread
cultivation by tribes of the area now embraced in
.the United States, but from the fact that indica
tions of its cultivation are found, in mounds and
m the ancient Pueblo ruins and cliff dwellings.
It was nature's scheme of producing varia
tionsher apparently unalterable will to create
no duplicates that opened up to Burbank his
opportunity to carry forward the evolution of teo
sinte into corn in a comparatively few seasons.
In his experiments with the plant he produced
more than 10,000 specimens on his grounds.
Among these thousands he found some offsprinsr
which were an improvement over the parent
plants. It was then simply a matter of continued
and intensive application of scientific methods of
selection, from season to season, until the final
result was achieved.
During his experiments with teosinte Burbank
not only changed the plant into corn, but in-.
cidentally created one of the most productive
fodder plants on earth, and extended the latitude
in which it can be profitably grown nearly or
quite 1,000 miles farther north and south. Here
tofore all teosinte had to be raised in southern
Florida or some tropical climate, but Burbanks
improved varieties, developed as a result of his
scientific plant breeding, will produce, even in
the northern states, fifty times as much fodder
as the commonly cultivated teosinte of the south,
and fifty times the amount of grain.
Burbank s experiment with teosinte is a strik
ing example of the fact that the plant breeder,
simply by taking the variations whicn nature
gives him, can effect wonderful improvements in
her plants, and, by urging nature into new varia
tions through cross-breeding, can create at will
an infinite number of new combinations or
characteristics from which to select
Christianity in Trade
From the London Times.
Mr. Sydney W. Pascall presided at a con
ference at the Central . ball, Westminster, the
other day, .wita the object of starting a national
movement towards a Christian order of industry
and commerce. The idea of the organizers, he
said, was that it would better become them, as
business men, to confer together, and make their
position perfectly clear before they tried, as em
ployers, to point out the faults and failures of
trade unions.
Lord R. Cecil, opening a discussion on "The
Purpose and Motive of Industry in the Light of
Christian Principles," said that the popularity
of the two theories of evolution and political
economy, in their insistence on the principle of
competition, had to a great extent dehumanized
business relations. "Business is business" it was
said. A soul-destroying maxim if ever there was
one, meaning that when it came to business all
they had to consider was what was profitable
and successful, and that humanity, consideration
for others, and such ideas were out of place in a
business transaction. Conceptions of that kind
were at the root of our trouble. We had to get
back to Christian morality. At the root of that
was co-operation for the common good, and the
aim must be to get all those engaged in industry
imbued with corporate feeling,

AGE OF RETIREMENT.
In the January Cosmopolitan Dr.
Woods Hutchinson had an article
entitled 'The Pae that Kills Is the
Crawl." rr. A. T. Goldwater of the
Medical Review of Reviews sent Dr.
Hutchinson's etory to a few hundred
business men of. superior achieve
ment asking: for brief comments
based as largely as possible on their
personal experionces. He publishes
abstracts from the replies of 141,
When these distinguished, clear
headed men tackled the case we
find that doctors disagree. In Dr.
Hutchinson's article I find no con
siderable justification for a discus
sion of the 'question Shall a man of
60 retire to southern California or
Florida and play for the remainder
of his days? and yet that is the
major theme of 17 of the number,
though some of them may not have
had California In mind. But, then,
they were asked to write opinions
based on their own 'experiences, and
doubtless that was the question they
were wrestling with.
Charles H. Sabin of New Tork
writes: "I have seen many In
stances where men of activity have
passed away within a short time
after retiring."
J. S. Jetton of Atlanta writes: "I
have observed that when an active
business men once releases hold on
his work his decline physically be
gins almost immediately."
Fifteen prominent men subscribe
to the opinion of Messrs. Sabin and
Jetton. Every section of the coun
try is represented. Among them are
W. B. Clark of Hartford, who is
hard at work at 80 years of age, and
James Dinkins of New Orleans, who
writes that though he and his wife
are 76, they go to dances regularly
and dance all the new fancied steps
as soon as they become the vogue.
No one spoke in favor of the
policy of retirement of business men.
Unless somebody had his fingers
crossed southern California and
Florida real estate men are due to
lose their customers of this class.
Many thought it was worry and
not work which killed. Julius
Kruttschnitt wrote: "I could not
see that any injurious effects could
be traced to the amount of work
done, provided, however, in was
done in a way not to cause irritation
or worry." Seven representative
men agreed with Mr. Kruttschnitt.
Seven wrote that in their opinion
hard work, stressing the hard, did
no harm. ,
The group who advocated hard
work, but specified that those who
worked hard must pay attention to
the laws of personal hygiene,, was a
large one. Play as an element of
personal hygiene was stressed by
seven successful men. Systematic
exercise was emphasized by two.
care in eating by six, two emphasized
the need of plenty of sleep.

In Which We, Accept a Dare.
' St. Louis, Mo., June 16. To the
Editor of The Bee: Has The Bee
the courage to publish the following
question, I fear not:
Is it not a fact that the cost of
living has increased 100 per cent
since 1914. Is it not a fact that the
increase in union wages during
same period was less than 83 per
cent. Why then all this boisterous
talk about union labor radicalism?
Is it because they have dared to
keep within hailing distance of the
coEt of living?
Is it not a fact that the wages of
.the unorganized worker clerks,
etc., has increased much less, prob
ably not more than 40 per cent dur
ing the same period, and that tak
ing all labor collectively, organized
and unorganized, the increase has
been less than 60 per cent? Is it
not a fact that the difference be
tween this increase in the cost of
living, 100 per cent and the increase
In wages,. 50 per. cent, represents
what was. handed to the profiteers
the 18,000 millionaires made dur
ing the past four or five years?
Do not the above figures indicate
that it is first the turn of high cost
of living to greatly descend before
talking about reducing wages? Why
is it, however, that wages are being
clipped in 20 per cent slices, while
the cost of living is rambling along
gracefully about the same, or pos
sibly be reduced 2 or 3 per cent a
month?
Is it not a fact that Belgium be
fore the war was taking care of 18
people where we today are taking
care of one; in other words, area
considered, the population of Bel
glum was 18 times that of our own?
Is it not a fact that economic con
dltions in Belgium before thS war
were comparatively good no exten
sive unemployment and more farm
owners per capita than any country
in Europe, while we with our one-
eighteenth population, have between
3,000,000 and 6,000,000 people out
of work?
In view of the above, is It not
about time that We quit kidding
ourselves about the matchless wis
dom of our system, get busy to
rectifying it, and then .hold the
glorification afterwards?

For myself I can truly ay that, after
my native land, I foel a tenderness and
a reverence for that of my fathere.
The pride 1 take In my own country

dazzled hy her rlrhea nor owed by her
power. The sceptre, the mitre and the
coronet, stars, garters and ribbons, seem
to me poor things for great men to con

But England Is the cradle and the
refuge of free principles, though often
persecuted; the school of religious lib
erty, the more preclona for the struggles
through which it has passed; she holds
the tombs of those who have reflected
honor and all who speak the English
tongue; she Is the birthplace of our
fathers, the home of the Pilgrims; It Is
these which I love and venerate in
England. I would feel ashamed of an
enthusiasm for Italy or Greece did I not
also feel it for a land like this.
In an American it would aeera to ma
degenerate and ungrateful to hang with
passion upon the traces of Homer and
