A European Nation Buys 25
Million Pounds Bacon.

Chicago March Pork prices are
soaring again. Market experts pre-
dict the high price records will be
smashed within a month.
From the lowest price in years, due
to record breaking receipts. hogs have
advanced to the highest mark in two
years, with constantly dwindling re-
ceipts. The market rose an average
of a dollar in January and another
dollar in February, and recently hit
the SO mark
This condition, market experts say,
is due to several causes Principally,
farmers have been unable to save
their pigs for fattening because the
corn in the hog belt has been soft -
Consequently they shipped SO many
young to the markets late in 1915 that
fat hogs will be mostly among the
missing in April and May. their
heavy months for delivery.

recently learned. it is said, that pork
IS a more economical and compact
food than beef for their armies. One
nation has recently completed the
