Life’s Little Tragedies

PROBABLY THE most disgusted man in Indianapolis yesterday morning was the unidentified citizen who boarded an E. 10th streetcar at Keystone after shivering several minutes in the near zero temperature. Just as he was stepping into the streetcar, the

high wind whipped his the street. The considera]

there and waited while the cursing gent chased the hat a half block and returned. The man puffed and , snorted all the rest of the way downtown. . . .

Cattle and Sheep Industry Curtails Because of Shortage of Skilled Hands

(This is the fitth of a series of articles on the food crisis.)

DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer i

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—One of the leading stockmen of Montana has written Secretary of Agriculture Wickard that “we have already sacrificed far too many future mothers of livestock to maintain our beef

“A report from the meat and wool-growing front might be worthwhile,” wrote this rancher, whose name cannot be used. Nineteen forty-

three has the potentiality of seeing a breakdown in fgod production that can be the bottleneck and the national scandal of the war,” he

asserted. : “It looks, to too many of the men

who are raising the food we and our allies hope to eat, as if these facts were either not known fo those in Washington who should know them or were negligently ignored. Farmers’ and stockholders’ morale has suffered accordingly.

3 Causes Given “The meat shortage has been created by three factors—(1) in-

and (3) price ceilings. Two of these should have been avoided. “Increased demand was unavoid‘able, ‘It should have been antici-

. | pated sufficiently, however, to have

been cushioned by a better handling of the manpower problem and that of price ceilings, as .they applied particularly to beef. “The labor shortage was avoidlable. It should have been handled last spring when those of us who knew the situation did our best in Washington to get action before the

1943 was done. “We failed. - “For some unexplainable reason the East thinks of food production in terms of harvest. A harvest is the end result of daily year-round work—Ilots of it. In the past that work has been done by all-the-year-round skilled labor. When harvest time came that skilled labor acted as a sort of noncommissioned crew strawbossing the temporary harvest labor, Together they got the job done. : :

Workers in Army \

. “It so happens that that group o; all-year-round skilled labor made up most of the draft lists in the farm and stockraising communities, No credit was given for enlistments on draft quotas. Men going to the defense industries for the unbelievable wages there become deferred. Enlistments from the stockgrowing states have been above the national ' average. As a result the draft load was largely thrown on the skilled labor on which farm and stockgrowing production depended: “We got by after a fashion this year, with the co-operation of the best farming weather we have had

crews at half strength and by working 70 and 80 hours a week. We

Any cattleman knows the difference a good feeder makes in the shape and weight of cattle when they come off feed in the spring, One man can feed but ga certain number of stock.
