etary of agriculture, to stimulate pro-

Stock said Mr.. deRicqles.
I'VE have big problems before US In
connection with world food supply.
THE most important feature is for
the business men to delete thoughts of
personal profit and turn his attention
to a great and patriotic service.
I'VE must not only feed this country
but must maintain the armies of the
allies and our own army abroad as
wei as contribute to the feeding of the
civil population OF the countries who
are fighting with US for universal lib
erty. The problems here are different
from those abroad.
For example. England is reducing
its herds for the reason that the land
cannot produce sufficient both to feed
live stock and the people. Here we
seek to increase herds and to add vast
ly to the acreage both for raising food
stuffs for animals and for the people.
THE meeting at Washington will
do much toward setting in motion a
comprehensive and effective campaign
for raising live stock and insuring It's
distribution to points where this pro-
duction is needed"

PORK is PRINCIPAL
MEAT OF AMERICANS
Hog Is Most Important Animal to
Raise for Meat and Money
Consumes By-Products.

OTrom the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
The quickest and surest way of aug
menting the meat supply next to the
raising of poultry is by raising hogs.
the United States department of agri-
culture points out. The hog is the most
important animal to raise for meat and
money. He requires less labor, less
equipment, less capital. makes greater
gains per hundred pounds of concen-
trates and reproduces himself faster
and In greater numbers than any other
domestic animal. AS a consumer Of
by-products the hog has no rival. No
other animal equals the lard hog in its
fat-storlng tendency. The most salts
factory meat for shipping long dis
tances on train, boat or wagon. and for
long storage after reaching Its destina-
tion is mess pork.
Pork finds ready sale because pack
ers have discovered many ways OF
placing pork on the market In attrac-
tive and highly palatable form com
blned with most excellent keeping
qualities. There is no other meat from
which so many products are manufac-
tured. Very near so per cent of the
total value. In dollars and cents. of the
meat and meat products slaughtered
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 con-
sumption of meat and meat products.
Three-fourths of the worlds interna-
tional trade In pork and pork products
originates In the United States In nor
NAL times, and the war greatly has In
creased this proportion. According to
the estimates there was an increase OF
9.5SO,oO0 hogs between 1910. the census
year, and 1916, inclusive. The increase
at the end of 1915 was 3,14S.000 over
the preceding year. while 1t is esti-
mated that there was a decrease at the
end of 1915 OF $4,000 hogs compared
with 1915.
