Total deficiency.
1S2,02I


There are some points in Iowa and
Missouri still to hear from. The de-
&c iency has been in the States Of lii
nc lis, Iowa, Missouri, Southern Ken
tn cky, and Tennessee. This decrease
is attributable to the inadequate sup
ply of corn III those States, the crop
ha wing been greatly deficient the last
two years in Missouri, Illinois, and
Iowa; and the low prices of hogs in
1919, and the subsequent high
prices of corn, induced farmers to sell
the latter il stead of feeding hogs,
and hence, since 1919, there has
been rapid decline in the hog crop
of those States. In Ohio and IN
diana the SUPPLY Of corn the last sea-
son was ample; aud prices bel ing low,
1t was fed freely to hogs and the re-
suit is that there is in both States an
increase in number.

injustice in charging upon him principles adverse to

lnent was made by Mr. JONES we vcntured no remarks
upon the subject but have waited to hear what Mr..
WHITE had - say about it. The editor Of the Adver-
tiscr says:
''Wc refer our readers 10 Mr. JONES communication.

made by him against Mr. PHILLIP WHITE in our last

in something of precautionary style it is but justice
to state here that Mr. WHITE as we learn las csab-

stranger under similar circumstances"
We publish in our paper to-day. the communication
Of Mr. JONES to which the Advertiser refers. We
hope the Efforts Of Mr.. WHITE will not lie retarded by
this unfortunate matter and that so far as the circum-
stance having tendency to injurc cause will prove
the means Of its advancement, and that many will be
added to the order who will prove faithful to the
