SCHOOL, NEEDED FOR EAST
GREENWOOD.

Editor Daily Commonwealth:
One Of the greatest needs Of the
prosperous little City Of Greenwood is
q school in the East part of town.
Nobody realizes this more than the
writer Of this article who circulated a
petition for a school among the citi-
zens Of the peighborhood and saw the
enthusiasm with which this petition
was signed and heard the expressions
Of gratitude that some steps were be-
ing taken to try to establish a school
in their midst. The paper was signed
by neal seventy patrons, and we
found more than one hundred and fifty
children in the neighborhood under
high school age. Of this number some
are yet too young to enter school, but
it will not be long until they will all
be in school. We also found perhaps
twenty or twenty-five children, who
should be in school but who are ply
sically unable to walk the distance Of
one to two miles to school, and have no
means of getting there. This is a pit
liable condition and should not exist.
Moreover these little fellows, aside
from dangers they encounter from
automobiles-(which Of course is the
same in every section Of the city,
counting spurs,' switches and main
tracks, have eight or ten R. R. tracks
to cross in going to school. Each
mother as she bids her little n good
bye in the morning does 80 wondering
if it will return to her alive in the
face Of SO much danger; and some day
it may be that somebody's darling will
not return. Then the good citizens Of
Greenwood who do not yet realize the
great importance Of . school East OF
the R. r. will Immediately grow very
enthusiastic over a school in that Sec
| ton before any more serious accidents
occur. We feel confident that the
good, public spirited citizens of this
enterprising city. when once their at
~tention has been called to this great
est Of all needs in this place, will unite
with one accord their earnest efforts
- establish in the very near future
. school for the East Greenwood little
ones. We wish to state also that Z
petition wal circulated prior to the one
above mentioned, which was very read
lily and enthusiastically signed BY
property owners in that section. tn
last being signed by parents who
would ~patronizs the school, and that
splendid site for = school building sadS
be donated if the City will take ~
vantage Of it.

rAE NEED foR MoR1 HOGS.
Pork Exports Exceed Produetion-Cor
Surplus Must Be Fed.

surplus MuUS D. VOos HHH
During the, European war the pro-
duction Of hogs in the United States
has decreased each year. and the ex-
port of pork products has been stead
lily Increased. There are 5,000O00 less
hogs in the United states this year
than there were last year, and S,00o,00O
less than in 1915. In 1914 we exported
405. 100000 pounds Of pork products,
valued at $55,0O0,000. And in 1917 we
have exported 9s1,O00,000 pounds.
valued at $175.oo0 900. AS far as the
swine resources of the, United States
are concerned, we have been drawing
both our interest and principal during
the war. We have reached the point
where the capital must be replaced.
Our swine herds must be enlarged or
we can not meet the heavier demands
for exports Of pork products that Will
como to US henceforth.
The warning nations Of Europe have
slaughtered many Of their breeding
animals during the last three yeans.
swine have decreased in France So
per cent during the war. In Germany
they had decreased 81 per cent for the
year ending Dec. /. 1915. The decrease
in the United States in 1917 as COM
pared with 1915 was IS per cent. Ships
are not available to bring meat from
Australia, South Africa and South
America.
III the light of these facts the United
States department Of agriculture. with
the co-operation Of state agricultural
colleges and extension departments.
has instituted a campaign to increase
swine production in the United States
Is per cent. The heaviest increases are
proposed in the corn states OF
the middle west, Missouri being
asked for 50 per cent increase. Iowa
and Kansas for 25 per cent increase,
Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska 20 per cent
and Ohio. Kentucky and Tennessee 10
per cent
The farmers also felt some fear OF
overproductlon Of hogs and consequent
lowering Of prices. The department OF
agriculture has studied the situation
most carefully, with the purpose OF
avoiding over production especially In
mind. The swine production increase
recommended for the several states
where hog production has been COM
paratively small, will not produce more
hogs than will be needed next year.
The department urges that the specihc
increase assigned each state be adher-
ed to-for instance, that Iowa, which
Is allotted 25 per cent increase. does
not make a IS or so per cent gain.
Further feeling Of security has been
established in the minds Of corn belt
farmers by the announcement OF the
United tSates food administration that
II will use every effort to bring about
fair prices to the farmer for the hogs
he produces next year, promising that
"the prices. SO far as we can anec.
them, will not go below minimum OF
about $3.50 per 100 pounds. for the
average OF the packers Groves on the
Chicago market"
