Kansas, 25; IL ';sna, 20; Illinois, 90;
Mississippi, 20; Arkansas. 2G South
Carolina, 15; Ohio, Is; Kentucky, Is;
Maryland, 10; North Carolina, 10;
Michigan, 10; Nebraska, 10; West vir-
ginia, 5; and Georgia, 5. The increase
needed for the entire country is Is per
cent and is covered by the above sched
ule. Other states than those named
should breed no fewer sows than last
year.
The result of these increases will be
to provide sufficient animals to make
the meat that is absolutely essential to
the feeding of our armies.
Pork can be transported more readily
and economically to troops in the field
than can any other meat. Great sup
plies of bacon must go to the boys in
khaki at the front. Unless now larger
number Of sows are bred, the amount
of meat we will require next year will
not be available.
The estimated number of hogs is
100000 less than it was year ago in
this country; and in the face of this
we need more hogs than ever before.
How can we get themI By breeding
sows at once.
The expectation Of pork products has
increased since the war began and will
continue to increase during the length
of the war. The foreign countries are
devoting their farming energies to food
and feed rather than livestock produc-
tion, but they must have meat and they
must get large part Of this supply
from us. " o" 'r''
During the last three months the
price of hogs in the United States ha,
been, on an average, more than twice
as much as the average priee for the
fiv ve years from 1911 to 1915. In view
Of the large crop Of feedstuhs in sight,
however, II is believed that farmers
willNsee the wisdom Of tkkihg' every
reasonable step to increase the supply
Of hogs and hog products.

HOME CANNED GOODS NOT
TO BE coMMANDEEREc

Some person or persons whether by
inadvertenee sor from malicious intent
is as yet cnIy a suspicion, has been cir
culating report to the effect that the
government will commander all home
canned fruits and vegetables in excess
of one hundred cans per family.
Food Administrator Ahlstrand states
that the attitude of the government is
quite the reverse. Instead of intending
to take away from the housewives Of
the country part of their stocks of
winter eatables it is specially desired
that they preserve as large amounts of
perishable foods as they possibly can,
so that the product of the canning fac
tories may be diverted to government
use in a larger measure than would
otherwise be possible.
The United States secret service is
now investigating the matter in the
hope of locating the responsibility for
this report, so that such action may be
taken as will serve as warning 20
others against similar activity.

date about fifty people. Twenty tents
will also be erected under his manage
ment.
R. s. Davis of Manitou was given a

BRITISH DESTROY TWO u-BoATs

Christiana, Nov. 12.-An account OF
the sinking of two German submar-
ines by British patrols off the Shet-
land islands, is printed in the Norwe'
gian newspapers. The Aftonposten $
dispatch says:
"An armed patrol ship has arrived
at Lerwick in the Shetlands with five
or six German prisoners. The ship, one
morning came suddenly upon u-boat
which was in the act of sinking a sail
ing ship. The periscope of the sub
marine was smashed with shot, ana
the U-boat began to sink. At that mo-
ment another U-boat appeared anu
fired two torpedoes at the patrol, but
both missed.
Meanwhile a destroyer arrived on
the scene, and was fortunate enough to
make square hit on the second u
boat. Only few survivors could be
picked up.''

SECRET GERMAN STORES SO
FOUND IN NEW YODK


New York, Nov. ,l2.-secret service
agents have discovered foodstutfs AMI
other property valued at more than
$73,000,00O stored in warehouses in this
city which has never been reported to
the government as required under the
trading with the enemy act, it was
learned tonight. This is only small
part of what is expected to be uncovs
cred before the search ends. 4
Flour, sugar, eggs, butter and canned
good of various kinds are contained IN
the list of foodstuffs compiled by the
secret service men. Large quantities
of iron, steel, copper, cotton and chem
icals also have been found, part of
which, it was announced, is. owned by
Germans.
The value of the foodstuffs not re-
ported to the government was placed at
$3S, 496,742, and the metals, cotton and
other materials at $35, ,449,O2s
1t was stated that one consignment
of 700 bags of jute is known to have
been bought with money deposited here
by the Deutsches Bank of Berlin, the
official financial institution of the Ger
man government. About three quarters
of the commodities is said to be held
as collateral for loans made from banks,
but nothing regarding the nature Of
the loans could be learned.

MORE HOGS, SHEEP AND POULTRY

The best possible means of relieving
the meat situation would be to increase
the number Of hogs on every farm. For
the average small farmer the hog and
poultry offer the most effective means
of increasing the meat output at any
time in the near future. A special cam
paign for increasing the hog production
in the next 12 months will be vigorous
ly pushed by all Of the extension forces
in the southern states. 1t should not
be forgotten, however, that to increase
the number Of hogs profitably there
must be ample food supply to keep
them in good condition. It has been
found by frequent demonstrations that
the easiest and cheapest way to pro-
duce pork in the south is by furnishing
rotation Of good pasture. H

The Garfield county council of de-
fense has been congratulated by the
Colorado council of defense upon its
success in the employment of high
school boys to meet the labor shortage
during the harvest emergency. The
county leaders obtained the dismissal
of all high schools for seventeen days
and the boys were given credits in their
studies for their work in the fields. As
the result all boys worked. Aptomc'
biles were provided to take them to the
different farms. In addition the bust.
ness houses were induced to allow their
employees to labor on the harvests for
two and three days at time.-News
