FARMERS CAUSE

The farmer ha decreed that the
Juicy teak shall disappear, tempo
rarlly at least, from It time-honored
. place at tha ' breakfast table. Roast
beef also ha come under the ban of
the aattle-ralaer, at whose door Is
laid the responsibility of the pending
"meat famine."
Packer declare the shortage of
' meat In America, which la nld to
have prompted a reshlpmont of 110,-
000 pounds of moat from England, I
due 'to the backward condition of the
cattle market Beef, In particular, le
scarce, and consequently the prices
of steak and roasts are In the as

or, say tho condition was brought
about - within the past week, when
shlpmenta of eattle received at the
- aluckyarda were lea than one-half
of those received In the some period
. last year. There la, however, an
abundant supply of lamb and pork,
and the packer are not alarmed over
tha possibility of a famine In the en
tire meat supply.
Receipt Greatly Decrease.
The falling off of cattle shlpmenta
received at the stockyards during

at this time, of the year there always

th old man had no right to take th
