FEDERAL INSPECTOR IN CHARGE
OF IOWA SENDS OUT PLEA
TO STOCK FEEDERS.
SAVE THE BROOD soWs
AND BREED FALL PIGS
Says All Indications Point to Continue
ton Of High Prices For Hogs-Says
Nation Expects Farmer to Meet
Emerseney-Guard Herds Closely to
Prevent Outbreak Of Disease.
Special to Times Republican.

special to Times RepuDllCan,
Des Moines, May Ia. s. koen
federal inspector Of live stock in charge
of the district of Iowa, has issued the
following appeal to the farmers of this
state:
try is calling upon you in the crisis
that confrcnts il. The world is ex-
pecting America TO supply food suffi-
Gent to feed the half-starving nations
that are being devastated by this aw-
full war A serious shortage of food
supplies now threatens half the world
with starvation. Even those of us
who live in the land where the Won
derful horn Of plenty pours literally
her bounteous supplies are feeling the
results of this shortage by the ex-
cessive prices of all commodities.
May ] call attention to the fact that
a serious shortage Of hogs also exists.
There are fewer hogs in Iowa today
by many thousands than for several
years High prices for both corn and
hogs have tempted many farmers to
sell short even disposing OF thou
sands of brood sows. The result is
a spring pig crop far below normal.
To increase this difficulty much more
trouble than usual is being experienced
at narrowing time this spring. as many
pigs are being lost. The spring cron
of pigs promises TO be the smallest
in years The demand for meat is
constantly increasing. To meet this
demand two things are imperative:
~. Save the brood sows.
"2. Breed for as many fall pigs as
can be properly cared for.
Prices to Remain High.
There is no indication at present
thar will Justify n prediction for lower
prices for hogs in the near future. II
is false economy, therefore, for the
farmer to sell his brood sows, even
though they do command high prices.
No man should try to raise a larger
crop than he can properly care for
II is the neglected herd that usually
falls an easy victim to disease, and
il stands to reason that unless man
can properly care for his herd in
health, that he Will be less able to
care for It when diseased. Thus he
might become a menace 10 his own
interests and his neighbors.
I'VE have been meeting with you
and forming township and county an
mal industry associations in order
that you might be prepared for an
emergency and meet 1t. The emergency
Is upon US. Our country expects US
to meet It. Let us, through our or
CARNATIONS. discourage the sale Of
brood sows. and let us encourage the
breeding for a large crop OF fall pigs.
Let US not forget our fight on cholera
that we may save the hogs we raise
Be on the lookout for first outbreaks
Of the disease. Report all cases early
10 the United States inspector, for
your county, that We may help you
bring them under control. In this way
we will serve our country as faithfully
and as we'll as though we carried rifles
or occupied trenches at the front Very
respectfully.
