large surpluses of the 1917 harvest remain unfed in their bins"

make the corn yield marketable. O1 the normal production 75 to 80 per cent is fed to stock, and when the yield is far above normal, as it is this year, "a still greater proportion must be fed in order to make the re- mainder marketable at a profit"
 The department officials believe that farmers throughout the country will rise "to the present emergency" but at the same time they realize that extra efforts must be made by all Hive stock producers-beef and nut ton producers as we'll as hog growers.
 Active campaigns to promote in- creases, particularly to urge the breeding of more sows at this time, are soon to be in progress by federal and state experts. It is said that only the failure of state to do it's part can defeat the organized national campaign for a 15 per cent increase in hog production in 1918. Mir. Ousley asserts that if the systematized pro- gramme is carried out "a market will have been provided for about one third of the 1917 corn crop, the de- mands on the country for pork prod ucts can be met without strain, prices to the producer should be renunera- tive under the assistance pledged by the food administration, and prices paid by consumers should be reason able"
 Where twenty sows were bred in Alabama last year, twenty-six should be bred this year. This quota set by the department is not too high, and our farmers, it is hoped, will meet it.
 As prosperous as the south is now, it will be many fold more prosperous 1 if the farmers respond unreservedly to the agricultural departments urg- | ing.
