NUMBER OF HOGS ARE DE-
CREASINC.

Very nearly fifty per cent of the
total value, in dollars and cents, of
the meat and meat products slaugh-
tered in the packing houses of the
United States is derived from the
hog. Our country leads by far all
countries in the production as well
as in the consumption of meat and
meat products. Thyee-fourths Of
the worlds International trade in
pork and pork products originates in
the United States in normal times,
and the war has greatly increased
this proportion, with the result that
the number Of hogs was $4,000 less
in 1916 than in 1915.
II we expect to continue to pro-
vide meat to our allies as well as to
our own people, every farmer must
put forth the best effort to produce
more hogs. Hogs can be kept prof
itably upon many farms where they
are not found today. Farmers who
already raise hogs can produce
many more for there is not much
chance of producing meat this year
in excess requirements.

WARNING ISSUED AGAINST
SELLING CORN

Reports have been received from
several portions Of Louisiana that
corn is being sold at approximately
$1.0O per bushel at the present
time" says Dean W. R. Dodson of
the Louisiana State University. "In
some cases it is asserted that there
is an inadequate supply of corn in
these very communities to meet the
requirements for the coming year.
"Old corn is worth in St. Louis
at this time around $500 a bushel;
December deliveries are quoted at
about $1.20, with every probability
that the price will be materially
higher. as the season advances. Ev-
cry indication would stress the i'm
portance of holding enough corn in
every community to meet the abso-
Lutte needs of everybody. Indepen-
IDENTIFY of the price consideration,
traffic conditions may be such as
to prohibit US from securing ship
ment of corn into Louisiana terri
tory from distant states.
Every public spirited citizen
should help to prevent sacrifice of
corn at the present time. The par
ish committees of the State Council
OF Defense will in many instances
find here good field for their &C
tivities." IL. S. U. Press Bulletin.

From war-ridden France comes
the plea for sugar: vital food
necessity.
Americans use twice as much sug-
ar as any people on the face of the
earth. The French are struggling
along on less than ounce day per
person. We use ounces per per-
son. They must have 100000 tons
within the next three months. Near
ly all Of it must come from Am
erica.
Here is a patriotic sacrifice all of
us can make:
Eat less candy-we are better off
without it. Cakes, especially iced
ones, and pastries are unknown in
France today. They were forbid
den in Germany early in the war.
Pastries, particularly, require need
ed flour and fats as well as sugar.
"Sundaes" or ice creams served
with heavy fruit syrups take an I'M
due amount Of sugar Many of US
use sugar to excess in tea and cof-
fee.

the time this year to make gifts of
sweets. Presents this year must be
useful, if never before.
