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 supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 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.
But 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,
$17.76 per 100 pounds : October, $17.28;
November and December, $16.08 ; Jan-
lary, $14.40. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar­
ket as soon as possible.
In France 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 1913, she now has only 12,-
341,900, a decreuse of 16.6 per cent
And France Is today producing only
one gallon 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.
