invite more serious sickness.

Price of Hogs to
 Stimulate Breeding

1F HE United States food admin
 0 istration is urging farmers to increase the breeding of hogs, and to that end Chief J. P. Cotton of the meat division has decided upon $15.50 per hundredweight in Chicago, as the minimum price to be paid for swine.
 It is proposed that the producer may be able to count on fair price for his hogs at all times by limiting the profit of the packers and middle men. MT. Cotton points oot that the minimum price will stop the sudden breaks in quotations and will stabilize market prices so the farmer will know where he stands and feel safe in increasing the number of hogs next year.
 The food administration promises to do all in it's power to establish a definite ratio between the price of corn and the price of hogs of about thirteen to one. If this is done the farmer can depend upon getting for every hundred pounds of hog mar keted thirteen times the average cost per bushel of corn fed to the hog.
 There is a great demand for hogs now and food statisticians say that the demand will be far greater year thence. Alabama live stock farmers should govern themselves according ly They cannot raise too many hogs and few things that can be produced on the farm will be as profitable. In order to meet the demand it will be necessary, of course, to increase the corn acreage. The crop in Ala bama reached new high record this year, preliminary estimates ranging from 75,0OO,oOO to s5,OOO,ooO bushels, as against the next largest yield of 69, ,918, ,000 bushels in 1915.
 The goal for corn production in 1918 should be 1O0,OOo,OoO bushels. With bumper crop and with a great push for increasing the hog output Alabama will be all the richer and, better still, the hog will help in a very appreciable measure to win the war.

tobacco dealers there can give no as- surance as to when relief may be ex- pected. Uncle Sam's fighting men have been kept well supplied with cigarettes by consignments sent from friends at home. But along with the shortage of stocks in Paris comes an intimation that the cigarette supply is now running low on the firing line. Every contribution to The Age-Her- aids tobacco fund will make some poor fellow happy, and as long as the war lasts cur men must never want for the solace that Lady Nicotine brings.
