With the American Army in

Americans in the trenches have been
relieved by others. Relief, which is
considered one of the critical pc
riods. when the enemy by shelling
the approaches to the positions may
inflict heavy damage, was accom-
plished successfully. Apparently.
the enemy was not aware of what
was going on.
With the men back in billets, 1t
now is permitted to mention for the
first time that the casualties we're
negligible. In fact, more men are
suffering trench feet" than with
wounds.
From a military standpoint, the
experience gained by the Americans
is considered of a very high value in
the training of contingents which
are yet to arrive on French soil. il

the long run.
We repeat, in view of all the facts,
every Southern farmer who has not
kept a brood sow should get a SOW
this fall and breed her for a spring
litter; every farmer who has kept
one SOW should get another and
every one who has kept three or
four sows should breed four or five
litters next spring. If he provides
the right sort of grazing crops. the
production of hogs next year can
scarcely fail to be profitable. al
most regardless of the price of corn.
At least we believe this as morally
certain as anything in the future
can be.

small minority who have been
tempted to take advantage of local

| ty of fuel in certain sections. All

charges ca nbe established, the facts
will be turned over to the United

gestion that the violator of the law
be promptly prosecuted"

you and render all possible asst
ance."

Progressive Farmer.)

selling around 80 cents a pound,
with short crop; wheat above 50 a.
bushel, with guarantee of that
price for the> 1918 crop; and corn
above 81 bushel?"
There are at least two sides from
which this problem may be viewed
First, let us view it from the side
on which the cotton farmer gener-
ally approaches such problems.
Namely, will it pay better to raise
cotton and buy pork with the pres
ent high price of feeding grains
than to grow hogs?
If we assume tnat II cents a
pound for cotton, $1.10 a bushel for
wheat. rs cents a bushel for corn
and cents pound live weight for
hogs are normal prices, how do these
compare with the present wartime
prices? Our critic has placed the
price of cotton rather higher than
the average up to this time, but we
will accept his quotation and invite
his attention to the following com
parison:
Cotton, normal price. 12c; pres
ont price, soc; increase, IL times
Wheat, normal price. $1.1O; pres
ent price $2.20; increase, times.
Corn normal price, 75c; present
price, S1.5O; increase, times.
Hogs. normal price. &c; present
price. Ice; increase. 2-7 times.
Under these conditions it does not
appear that the Southern farmer
can any better afford to grow cot
ton, wheat or corn to buy meat with
than he could under normal condi-
tions, especially if we consider the
high cost and difficulties of trans
portation and the higher profits
which merchants are exacting for
the handling of all merchandise.
But these are not the facts on
which our advice to Southern farm
crs to greatly Increase their hog pro-
duction were based
We believe it is wise for the ,
farmer to increase his hog
production for the following rea-
sons:
