WAR AND THE
CATTLE BUSINESS
COLLEGE STATION, Nov. 23
—The war will tend to maintain
or even raise cattle prices in spite
of the increased production in
prospect.
This situation will come about
partly from increased consumer
demand and partly because of an-
ticipated demand for hides, but
.mostly because hog prices are ex-
pected to go higher and this will
cause some improvement in de-
mand as people turn from pork
to beef.
No large foreign outlet for the
United States is likely to develop
. as a Result of the war. Such a de-
velopment would Occur only if
shipping from Argentina and Aus-
tralia became very hazardous.
It does not appear probable that
either domestic or foreign de-
mand, and price, will improve in
the present situation as much as

THE SCOUTMASTER
It has been said time and time
again that the scoutmaster is the
“key man” in scouting. Of course
he is!
The influence of the personality
and training of the scoutmaster
has been found to be the greatest
single force affecting the life of
the troop. The by-laws of the Boy
Scouts of America specifically
state: “The success of the Boy
Scout program is dependent upon
the volunteer scoutmaster who
serves without financial compen-
sation. His conception of the rules
spirit, and purpose of scouting
and the equality of his leader-
ship control the possibilities for
duringThe WoUcTwar. At any Poetical Jesuits m the work of
shoul<1 "ot L the scoutmaster succeeds the
whole movement succeeds. His
idealism, his enthusiasm and ener-
gy are the driving powers. Tie has
the rare opportunity of leading
toward better citizenship a group
rise markedly in 1940.
This outlook for the cattle bus-
iness comes from the United States
Department of Agriculture’s Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics.
In commenting on the report, ,
George W Barnes, animal j Thc^q’,ideations' of a scout-
Z&SZi master might se'em to a newcomer
tension service, pointed out that
there are several marked differenc-
es between the present situation
and that of 1914.
In the first place, beef product
tion in 1914 was at the lowest lev-
el since 1902. In 1940 supplies of
.meat are expected to be the larg-
est since 1924. Small decreases in
beef slaughter will be more than
offset by a considerable increase
‘n the production of pork.
Prior to 1914, England import-
id around 600 million pounds of
•eef from Australia; but shipping
liffieulties caused these imports
io drop to 221 million pounds in
;1918 while United States exports
rattier appalling. But scoutmaster-
ship is not so complicated as it
might first appear, and there are
always helping hands ready to
come to his assistance.
To be successful, a scoutmaster
will not have to be a “know-it-all”
or a “Jaek-of-all-trades.” His
job is not to teach the whole sub-
ject matter of scouting—but to
lead hoys—which is something en-
tirely different.

TRANSPORTATION i
Can Man of 70 Be Elected President?
Through the public press, by j
means of our posers in railroad
stations, over the radio and on
the floor of our legislatures we
have been more or less bombarded
with propaganda for this or that
form of transportation. Another
request is for regulation of trans-
portation or for taxes or laws
which will place all forms of
transportation on an equal basis.
One of the things which has
been singularly missing from a
great deaf/ 'of this propaganda
has been the interest of the pub-
lic. Isn’t it about time that the
public was considered? It is cer-
tain that in all demands for spe- j
cial consideration by transporta- j
tion interests there have been few
speeches which a square deal Avas 1
demanded for the peorde, the gen- j
era! public.
Every man, woman- and child in
this country is interested in trans-
portation. Every time you pay out
a dollar for merchandise or ma-
terial, about 25 cents of your dol-
lar goes to pay the cost of trans-
portation—a cost that is hidden
in the purchasing price. If new
methods of transportation come
along \\Iiieh. will permit transpor-
tation costs to be cut, it will mean
that prices will go doAvn and the
cost of living will be reduced. Cer-
tainly the public is entitled to this
saving if it can be accomplished.
It is about time that an attempt
be made to meet transportation
pioblems by having them adjusted
to the needs of society rather
than have society legislated to
meet the needs of any individual
form of transportation. Competi-
tion is not particularly Aveleome hv
some of us. But it is good for all
of us. It is the only insurance of a

the present war,
For 'some reason, many cattle-
men believe that war Avill bring a
strong and rapid upsiving in price.
“That’s Avliat happened in the
World (War, ” they say. Actually,
prices shoAved only a moderate in-
crease dicing the early days of the
World War.
Here are the figures on the av-
erage price per 100 pounds of beef
, at Chicago: 1913, $8.25; 1915,
: -$S.65; and 1916, $9.50. Rises in
.livestock prices groAving out of
war-time conditions did not get
underway until about the middle
of 1916, and that aa^s largely due
to industrial activity and con-
sumer demand in the United Stat-
es.
Prices jumped to $11.65 in 1917,
.$14.65 in 1918, and $15.50 in 1919.
