That meat production has not kept pace with the increase in population and that its failure to do so, combined with increased cost of production and diminished purchasing power of the money unit, has contributed to higher prices not only in the United States but all over the world is stated in Part I of the exhaustive report on the meat situation in the preparation of which specialists of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture have been en gaged for some time. This country, it is said, is participating in a world wide movement and it is not expected that the situation will undergo any radical change in the immediate fu ture. On the other hand, it is believ ed that there will be a gradual growth and expansion in the world's production of beef, mutton, and pork which may or may not equal the rate of increase of the meat-eating popula tion. In America this gradual expansion appears to have begun already. Be tween 1SKV7 and 1913 there was a marked decline in the number of cat tle in the country but in the last two years this has not only stopped but has given way to a perceptible in crease. The estimated number on farms and ranges on January 1, 191(, 61,441,000, is, however, still much be low the corresponding figures for 1907, 72,534,000. With the exception of temporary checks due to losses from hog cholera, there has been in recent years a persistent increso in the production of swine. On Janu ary 1, 191fi, the number in the coun try was estimated at f8,000,000 03 compared with 58,200.000 in April, 1910. On the other hand, the num ber of sheep declined during this per iod from 52,500,000 in 1910 to 49,200, 000 in 1916. As the decrease, how ever, is not sufficient to offset tho in crease in cattle and swine, it may be said that the total production of meat in the United States is increasing but thut this increase is not yet propor tionate to the growth in population. The available supply of meat would Ik much greater if it were not for the enormous losse caused by disease and exposure. Since 1900 it is esti mated that from 1,100,000 to 1,475,000 cattle have died each vear from dis ease and from 000.000 to 1.500,000 from exposure. With sheep, the loss es fnm disease have been about tho same, but from exposure much larger. With swine the relative prevalence of hog cholera is perhaps the deter juinining factor in the annual loss. In 1S94 this was as low as 2,200.000. but in 1914 amounted to 7,000,000. If these 7,000,000 hogs had been saved, it is said, they would have produced enough meat to furnish every family in the United States with 40 pounds ,of pork. Despite these facts the United States remains the greatest meat-eating as well as the greatest meat pro ducing nation in the world. Approxi mately twice as much meat is con sumed in this country as in Germany before the war and the total normal consumption in Russia, Great Britain and France is less than in Germany. The per capita consumption is also far greater in this country than any where else with the exception of Aus tralia and New Zealand. Our own exports now consist large ly of pork and pork products and these are derived to a great extent from corn. In the fiscal years 1914 and 1915 we imported more fresh, chilled, and frozen beef and mutton than iwe exported, and more beef of all descriptions was imported in 1914, than was exported. In this limited respect we have joined the great ma jority. Practically the whole of the world's export trade in meat is main tained by nine countries Argentina, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Mexi co, under normal conditions, New Zealand, the United States and Uruguay. Autoisfs Caught Under Car Unhurt Baiter, July 10. Occupants of an auto plying between Baker and Wing yille at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morn ing, miraculously escaped injury when their car turned turtle while going at a good rate of speed. A blowout, coming just as a corner was being turned, was the cause of the accident. Ed. Luney, Elmer Heard and Carl Cloud, all of Baker, were in the car as it capsized, the last named being at the wheel. All were caught under the machine, but in spite of the fact that the wind shield and top were virtually ruined all were able to crawl unaided from beneath tha wreckage. Accused Man Acquitted Eugene Ashwill has returned from Cove where he defended Dwight Mar tin accused of breaking into the Cove pound, and taking therefrom some horses. The defense maintained the' horses broke out themselves and that Mr. Martin picked them up after they were out. Mr. Martin was acquitted.
