BIG HERDS Gone
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock Raisers Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con-
servation Measures.

1t is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look to
great extent to America for its meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
of cattle were appropriated. This ad-
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer
In England some 2,4OO,OOO acres of
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale Of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England, as follows: For September,
s17.7e per hundred pounds; October,
S17.2S; November and December,
s16Os, and for January. $14.4O. The
evident intent Of this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle Of France have decreased to
a total Of 1884 900 as compared with
l4,sO7, 900 in 1913. Today, due to lack
Of forage principally, France is pro-
ducing only one gallon Of milk where
before the war two and one-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-
ministration has taken steps to con-
serve our flocks and herds and to in
crease their numbers. The stock breed
ers of this country show a disposition
to cooperate with the government in
this.
For many years it has been a prac-
tice among many of the dairy people
Of this country to kill male calves at
birth and in many instances the fe-
males if not needed to replenish their
herds rather than 60 to the expense of
maturing them into veal. The high
prices Of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance of this killing. Another
encouraging fact is IS per cent. of
calves killed for veal this year were
males.
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease. meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential to success
in war as powder, which is true.
The hogs Of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.
This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes doubly es-
sential an increased pork production
in this nation. In Italy grain is now
forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Den
mark under recent order One-fourth
of the hogs were ordered to be killed.
1t is estimated that one-half have now
been killed

HYMN OF HATE.

If the coal you burn amt up to snuff,
And is full of Stag an slate an stuff,
You bet, my friend, it's pretty tough,
Blame it all to the Kaiser.
If you don't enjoy the food you eat,
And if in your bread you find no wheat,
That's fierce, and thus must repeat,
Blame it all to the Kaiser,
And if all the while your taxes soar,
And things keep costing more and more,
Don't hand the dealer husky roar,
Blame it all to the Kaiser.
When the mercury begins to sink,
And business seems upon the blink,
Don't cuss the weather man, poor Gink,
Blame it all to the Kaiser.
When you and l, some millions strong,
Pile in and hustle the war along,
The Germans, put where they all belong,
Can blame it all to the Kaiser.
When Germany all in ruins lies,
And German wailings fill the skies,
His humble subjects with much surprise,
May blame the fact to the Kaiser.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS.

Seventeen hundred and seventy seven
boys and girls have produced and con-
served food valued at $S7, 400 an average
of ABOUT s2l.OO worth of food for each
boy and girl These figures by no means
indicate the total amount of food pro-
duced by the Boys and Girls Club MEM
bers in Maine, for there are several hum
dred more who grow crops or animals or
canned foods who failed to return the
records to the Office. In reality nearly if
not quite as much more food was pro-
duced by club members who failed to re-
port as by those who reported.
SUMMARIZE Years Work by Projects.
The contribution of canning club men,
bers was 39,051 pints, an average of 95
pints for each member. Only fifty pints
were required. One club member put up
1877 pints this past season and this was
only part of her work since she was en-
rolled in four projects. Hancock County
leads in the canning project with 7, ia
pints, with Penobscot county as runner
up. Effie Nichols of Dexter won the
State Championship.
In spite of the hard season for crops
the boys and girls made fine showing.
Fifty-eight percent of the corn club en-
rollment finished the project, cultivating
o5 ga acres of land. The average pro-
duction was 1887 pounds of cut corn per
acre at a profit of S25.27. The garden
ers cultivated an area of 14.67 acres
producing crops valued at $4,000 per
acre on the average. Emily Morse of
Cherryfield, the winner of the Large
Garden project, produced vegetables val
ued at 81, O56 per acre. Marion Porter of
Lincoln made record higher than 81, 700
per acre in Small Garden project. Aroos-
took county potato growers upheld the
honor of their section, by averaging bet
ter than 225 bushels of potatoes per acre,
the State average being 1925 bushels
per acre. Charlie Carpenter of Houlton,
made the fine record of 90 l-2 bushels pro-
duCtlOn on Id acre placing ulIn dluouS
the highest in this county both for pro-
duction and profit.
Twenty-eight thousand and eighty-four
pounds of pork was produced by club
members. Piscataquis county grew one
fourth of this amount as the Lions Share.
The pigs averaged 1873 pounds each at the
time the club season closed. The aver
age profit was over nine dollars per pig.
Norris Bryant of Machias, won first hon.
ors for the second time.
Poultry club members were not so for
tunate as the Pig club members. There
were several cases of financial loss. Ruth
Baker of Litchtield proved the best
poultry grower in the State by producing
S35 90 worth of fowl from 26 eggs.
The Cooking and Housekeeping Club
was in its infancy this year but some fine
work was accomplished. Melissa Jones
of Ellsworth, winning first prize.
To summarize the production of the
season by projects we have the following:

Even the autocratlc food control of
Germany has been powerless to pre-
vent surreptitious sales. according to
semi- official reports reaching the Unit
ed States food administration. Illegal
sales of butter are being made in Ger
many at prices ranging from $1.75 to
1925 pound. Eggs sold contrary to
the German food regulations are
bringing 10 to Is cents apiece, accord
ing to these reports. And bacon or
ham is bringing from 1925 to 1925 a
