VEAL AND BEEF SHORTAGE.
To remove veal from the
menus was advocated at a recent con-
vention of western hotel men in Kan-
sas City as one remedy for the pres-
ent beef shortage in the United States.
A beef steer {8 but a grownup calf, of
course. The latter, dressed and ready
for the market, weighs perhaps 80
pounds. Permit it to grow to matur-
ity, thus becoming beef, and it weighs
700 pounds or more when dressed. It
is putting the case roughly and per
haps inaccurately, but ig sub
stantial truth in the statement that
the slaughter of every calf not only
shortens the visible supply of cattle
by one, but is a net loss of more than
6C9 pounds of food. The loss would
be the more readily endured, perhaps,
were veal a really wholesome article
of diet. 1It is tender and tasteful to
be sure, and much sought after by
many, but indigestible and little
food value. There is hardly a ques-
tion that the health of the people
would be distrinctly better were this
meat absolutely banished from the na-
tional dietary. But the main con-
sideration supporting such a step is
that a cessation of the demand for
veal might definitely stimulate the
growing of cattle in every agricultural
community. The farmer, encouraged
to raise his calves, would provide him-
self with facilities to do so, just as
in the days before the cattle business
was monopolized by the western
ranchmen, says the Newark News.
The cattle raising industry would be
distributed throughout the
country.
