The world's meat futureAn account of the live stock position and meat prospects of all leading stock countries of the world, with full lists of freezing works . ntine and Uruguay, byGordon Ross; and Central America, by W.

It will be seen that I am not pessimistic as regards the meatsupply of the future, and I hold that for many years cattle andsheep raising are going to be the most profitable of all indus-tries. There are no better prospects for young men than in thehealthiest and cleanest of all professions—that of stock raising—provided that before they launch out on their venture they obtainthe necessary practical knowledge and experience.

Nov. 6th, The Worlds Meat Future, Lord Harcourt recently said in the House of Lords thatwhile he was acting as President of the Board of Trade, in 1916,he acquired information which caused him the greatest anxietyin regard to the meat supply, and added, After the war therewould be a scarcity of meat—almost a war famine. Germany,Belgium, and Holland were faced with a post war deficit of8,000,000 head of cattle, and Denmark, Austria, Servia andRoumania another 8,000,000. Europe, therefore, would seek toimport from 16 million to 20 million head of cattle. Britainproduces only 60 per cent, of the meat consumed. He was, him-self, so impressed with the seriousness of the position last yearthat he sought to arrange a scheme for securing a supply ofchilled meat, which would be ample for Britain for several yearsafter the war.
