Weekly News Letter

i Herbert Hoover, United State:
Food Administrator, has telegraph
ed a message setting forth his pol
Icy towards the hog industry. Pork
IS one Of the most important wa,
foods and special effort is being
made to Increase production. A com
mission of farm experts and educa-
tors gave the subject thorough stu
dy and its recommendations have
guided Mr.. Hoover to lerge extent.
His announcement is considered of
immense value at this time, and
the widest publicly is therefore
sought. Mr.. Hoover says:
"The Food Administration has
four main purposes in view with
reference to hogs: To see that the
producer at all times can count on
a fair price for his hogs, SO that it
will be profitable for him; to see
that the farmer increases the num-
Der of hogs; to limit the profit of
the packer and the middle man; to
eliminate speculation.
"All these purposes are necessary
because we must have more hogs
so that the ultimate consumer shall
at all times get an adequate supply
Of hogs at the lowest feasible price.
1--WE shall establish rigid control
Of the packer. Fair PRICES to the
farmer for his hogs, we bEleve, will
be brought by the full control
which the Food Administration has
over the buying Of the allies, our
army and navy, the Red Cross, the
Belgian relief, and the neutrals.
"The first step is to stop the sud-
den break in prices paid for hogs in
the central markets. These prices
must become stable, 80 that the far
n,er knows where he stands and will
feel justified in increasing the num-
bar Of hogs for next winter. The
prices, 50 far IS we can effect them
will 60 below \ minimum of about
$3.50 per hundredweight for the
average Of the packers droves on
the Chicago market.
1--WE have had and shall have the
advice of board composed of prac-
tical hog growers and experts. That
board advizes that the best yard
stick to measure the cost of produc-
tion of the hog is the cost of corn.
"That board further advises that
the ratio of corn prices to hog pri-
ces on the average over a series of
years, has been about twelve to one,
or little less. In the past, when
the ratio has gone lower than twelve
to one, the stock of hogs in the
country has decreased.
when it was higher than twelve
the hogs have increased. That board
has given its judgment that to bring
the stock of hogs back to normal un-
der present conditions the ratio
should be about thirteen.
Therefore, as to the hogs far
rowed next spring, we will try to

RATS AND MICE
CAUSE GREAT LOSSES

Rats and mice are among the
worst animal pests in the world. ac-
cording to biologists Of the U. S.
Department Of Agriculture.
From their home amone.filth they
visit dwellings and storeroofhs to
pollute and destroy human food.
The rat carries bubonic plague
and many other diseases fatal to
man and has no-doubt been respon-.
sible for more untimely deaths
among human beings than all wars
Of history.
In the United States rats and
mice destroy each year in homes, in
factories, stores, and warehouses, in
cars and on ships, crops, poultry,
and other property valued at more
than 100000, 0,O00-an amount
equivalent to the gross earnings of
an army of 100000 men.
Grain, eaten and wasted by rats
and mice on many farms, would pay
all the farmers taxes
Rats and mice breed from 6 to 10
times a year, producing their de-
structive kind at an alarming rate.
They are parasites without sim
gle redeeming characteristic.-L. S.

The Liberty Loan Cycle

Through the sale of Liberty Loan
bonds the United States is borrowing
large sums of money from its citizens,
its business men, farmers, bankers.
wage earners, merchants, manufacture
ers. The government collects this
money and disburses it in two ways.
Part it expends itself and part it loans
our allies. The United States and these
other governments spend it for Ameri
can products and American labor and 1t
goes back directly into the hands of the
people, the American business man,
farmer, banker, wage Garner, merchant
and manufacturer.
This is the cycle. John Smith. the
farmer, and Thomas Brown, the wage
Garner, each has purchased Liberty
Loan bond. paying down the initial pay
ment of per cent. On June 2Sth they
made the IL per cent payment, deposit
ing the amount in their banks and send
ing checks to the Federal Reserve bank
of their district. The Federal Reserve
bank collects the check and redeposits
the money with the local banks. Later
the Treasury department draws against
it and the money is again lodged with
the Federal Reserve bank. 1t is almost
Immediately withdrawn from the Fed
eral Reserve bank either by the United
States or by some foreign government
engaged in war with Germany to which
the United States has advanced money
and is paid out for American products
or labor. Some of it is spent for farm
products and raw material, and some of
it for manufactured products, thus go
ing back Into the hands of American
citizens.
Therefore the money paid by the above
mentioned John Smith and Thomas
Brown on June 18th in part payment of
their Liberty Loan bonds may have got
ten back into their hands i'm time to
make up part of their payments made
