shipping outlook, we will find one as
erican farmers pause: We have today
somewhere near the equivalent of
1000, 900, 900 bushels of feeds more
than last year. This is an increase
of nearly 25 per cent-for which we
have no corresponding number of
animals to feed unless we begin to
increase them at nee In other
words, as our animals have not kept
pace with our increase in concen-
trates, we have much more feed this
year than we have animals to eat it.
Therefore, if farmers are to find mar
kets for feed, it must be to a great
extent through an increase in ami
mails.
The monetary Interpretation of this
situation must be that we will have
a low range Of prices for feeding stuffs
and, in view of the European situation
and our own shortage in hogs, we
will have a high average price for
pork products. Therefore, it must be
to the vital advantage of every farm
er to raise hogs.
This situation is one that can be
partly solved by our suburban popu-
1ation. If every suburbanite took to
his care a pig and fed it on the house
garbage he would increase our fat
supply and do SO without call upon
our general feeding stuffs. In Ger
many 1000, 900 hogs are supported by
these means. We need a "Keep-a-pig"
movement in this country-and a pro-

limits to even this. Europe, so far as
it is able, must preserve it's milk
herd, for the vital existence of a na
tion depends upon it's supply of fresh
milk. In any event, the large amount
of roughage in every country makes
this possible to some degree without
the use Of concentrates. So on the
beef side it is impossible and unde-
sirable to slaughter to an extent that
encroaches upon the milk herd, for
when that point is reached all fur
Their supplies of beef must be i'm
ported.
1t is useless to slaughter beef in
such an emergency under, say, two
years of age, and the encroachment
into the cattle herds of one ally is
limited practically to the killing of
mostly male animals above two
a of age and of the useless milk
animals. If the war continues long
enough this point Of slaughter will
be reached amongst others; and the
time will come when we will be called
upon to find large quantities of beef
the next few months the demand for
beef nay not be SO heavy upon us.
Hog Problem is Gravest.
The pork problem is one, not only
of the deepest concern, but as our
hogs lend themselves to rapid in
crease, it is a matter for hope of rap
id solution. The table below pre-
SCENTS statistics that are Illuminating
as to our hog supplies:

The United States Food Admins

ton. Our great department of agri-
culture has primarily the duty OF edu-
cation in production, but it falls upon
the Food Administration to keep in

OF our own people and the needs OF
the allies and other nations, and to
arrive at broad conclusions as to

Why World Herds Are Decreasing.
The general policy of European
nations is, to reduce these herds by
slaughter Of their. animals to an ex-
tent far beyond their annual produc-
ton. 1t il obvious that the number
Of their animals which 1t is necessary
to support by imported fodder re-
suires Slipping for their support far
in excess of the tonnage that would
be required to import equal amounts
OF animal products. Furthermore, the
production of fodder grains in Eu-
rope dispiaces, to a considerable ex-
tent their possible production of
bread grains. Beyond this, the di-
version Of millions of men from pro-
,duction to war and the decrease of
fertilizers all contribute to a reduc-
tion in production of animal foods,
Altogether from the viewpoint of u
allies who observe the constant short
ening of shipping, a most likely policy
is to eat their animals md thus have
room to produce more bread grains
at home and to increase their i'm
ports OF meat products from abroad.
BY SO doing they can make better use
OF the shipping facilities
The following indicates the most
Jsecent survey OF this situation:
