crop. This sugar is sold to the last
pound, stored in warehouses and await-
ing shipment.
1.-THE present crop will not be avail
able until the close Of the rainy season,
in about three weeks time; then the
grinding will start and a crop. the
largest in history, estimated at 100000
tons, harvested, so that the United
States and the allied countries can be
amply supplied.
Profits from Cuban sugar last year
were large, despite the 10 per cent duty
imposed, but every penny of the sur
plus has been spent by the planters for
new equipment with view of increas-
ing crops to met the increased demands
of the world.
Conditions in Cuba, as in all other
allied countries. are such that con-
tinuation of previous costs of produce
ton are out of the question. Every ele-
ment entering into this years record
output is attended by abnormal but ra-
tional increases.
'.The United States food administra-
ton has yet to fix a price for sugar,
and until this is done, Cuban producers
will hardly attempt to ship much OF the
raw product into this country. The
planters believe, however, that they will
be treated fairly in the matter, and are
going right ahead with their monster
harvest

OUR HOGS MUST GO TO WAR.

With the government seriously con-
sidering absolute prohibition OF the use
o. pork in any form by rhe people Of
the United States during The war the
Iowa farmer should be able to hear
the call Of duty that comes TO him 10
help win the war. He can breed more
hogs and have the new crop ready for
market by next fall. He need not stop
10 ask whether or not it Will pay. He
ought TO know that It VIII pay for no
such shortage could exist without keep
ing the price OF pork UP to figures
which will pay but he ought TO be
willing to raise hogs as his patriotic
contribution to his government in time
OF war, profit or no profit.
few farmers have given their
sons 10 the war, many have Civ
en- money 70 the various war funds
and some have loaned money TO the
government on Is Liberty bonds but
every farmer n Iowa can raise more
hogs
As our armies grow and food sup
plies among our allies in this war are
exhausted It becomes necessary TO
send our hog meat 70 war. Fresh meat
can't be exported wtthou, refrigerator
ships and We are short Of ships. Hog
meat can be cured and shipped in any
old boat and will arrive in disable con-
dit.on regardless Of the time consumed
il its transport. Our own people can
eat Their fresh meats and gave up their
sat and smoked meats to the soldiers
who aght to keep back the Huns.
Farmers are slackeds who do not ex-
ert every possible effort 70 raise more
hogs when their government calls for
hogs. Farmers wives next spring can
DO more for their country raising more
poultry than by knitting tor the Ped
Cross. That means that more bullets
should be held on the farms dur!ug the

ments. Another 1000 will be needed
in the organization of divisional units,
such as trains, trench mortar batteries,
machine gun battalions and divisional
troops of various kinds. 1t will be
