By WILLIAM t you will get out your map ot South America and note how far south the Argentines lie, and consider that on I T,,PR.1av Nov. V in the vear 1920. that distant country unloaded a lot of fresh pork loins, shoulders and butts, on the j New York wharves, you will decrae that America is indeed a world market. But think of it, Mr. Farmer. Is the Corn Belt to compete with Argentina in supplying the home market with pork products? Is this first shipment of fresh pork from below the equator a forerunner of cargoes to follow? First of all you will remember that Argentine corn has largely supplied eastern manufacturers of glucose syrnna and starch for more than two years. That country has long been j an active competitor in our European grain markets. It has undersold us on corn and wheat, to the extent of its surplus, on both grains, lor years. More than this its acreages have been constantly growing, and even now after the drastic cut of more than $1 per bushel in cash corn at Chicago, Argentine is still sending us corn and underselling us here at home. Peoria, Illinois, is in the very heart of our corn belt, but a few cars of South American corn filter into Peoria, from time to time, regardless. Farmers Ask Protection. This partly explains why farmers are demanding a protective tariff on their products. This demand was one of the causes of the Republican landslide this year; a contributory cause, at least. The leading American packers are largely interested in South America. They have great packing plants there; not merely to supply the South American demand, but they were able to export a lot of dressed meat to Europe during the war.

R. 8 AN BORN New Zealand Lamb. While we have really nothins to . .. .. . . fear regarding the imports of pork products from Argentina, our imports of frozen lamb from New Zealand dur ing the past year, has been of large enough proportions to depress the price of domestic lamb in seaboard markets. Inasmuch as New Zealand is a wonderful sheep-raisir.g country, that competition is already established. Our government has recognized this fact by placing American inspectors at the two great export plants in that country. Furthermore this lamb meet3 popular favor, can be sold ever so much cheaper than the American sheepman has been able to do business, at least In the past four years. It seems a certainty that our import trade in New Zealand lamb is des fined to grow. In World Competition. Regardless of how much Argentine grain, or South American meats we may or may not consume, we are in world competition with all other rurplus producing nations, to the extent of that surplus, in meeting the demands of Europe for bread and meat. This factor must always be reckoned with, just as has been our experience with the importation of Canadian wheat and flour for months, at lower than domestic prices. Canada has been turning its wheat crop into dollars here, and into English sterling abroad, at lower figures than have been charged by American exporter. But In spite of that fact we have exported more wheat during the pa6t six months than at any previous 6ix months in our history, for much of the world is still hungry, or on short rations. district directors for the ensuing year-; President Brown wfll preside at the final meeting to be held in th afternoon which is to be opened by an address by G.
