j, s. MEAT EXPORTS
CO TO RECORD MARK
Demands From Soldiers and Allies
Account for "Meatless
Days" Here.
New YnRK. Ian. %.

More than $500, 100000 worth OF meat,
dairy products and food animals were
exported from the United States in 1917,
establishing a record which exceeded by
SI45 100000 the greatest quantity OF
these products exported IN any other
wear, according to figures prepared by
the National City Bank In the yeaS
preceding the war less than $3.50, ,0o000
worth were sent out of this country and
the best previous record established was
in 1916, when 500, ,O00,0O worth were
exported.
The banks statistics show that the
1917 record was the result OF tins coun-
tlys response TO the appeals OF the
Allies The figures reveal that the num-
Der OF food animals in the United States
decreased Is 100000 IN the seven years
preceding the war, while the consuming
population OF the country increased H.
600 900 in the same period. In the decade
ended with 1907 the exports Of meat,
dairy products and food animals aver
aged 1924 600 600 a year. and from
1907 to 1914 they averaged but Slo9,-
900, COO O year being only Sl4s,O0OOOo
in the fiscal year 1914, all Of which pre-
ceded the beginning ot the war. With
the call from Europe, however, the ex-
ports Of meat and dairy products jumped
to 1920 600 900 in 1915, S255, 100000 IN
1916 and $iO6 100000 last year.
While a part OF this gam IN the value
of exports is due to higher prices, there
is also a large increase in the quantity
exported, especially in meats OF the
higher grades, which are demanded by
the people Of the United States. The
quantity OF fresh beef exported IN the
fiscal year 1911, all Of which preceded
the beginning Of the war, was but 6.394,-
900 pounds, and in 1917, l97, Isl 900
pounds, or thirty Tunes as much IN 1917
as in the year preceding the war,
OF bacon, the quantity exported III 1914
was 1913 064 900 pounds. and in 1917
667 l56. 600 pounds llams increased
from 166 900, 600 pounds "a 1911 to 267,-
900 900 pounds in 1917; fresh pork

State Lands Found to Be Unsuitable
SO Board Acquires 620 Acres at
Clinton.

Columbia, Aug. 21.-The Home for
the Predetermined will be built at
Clinton. This was decided yesterday,
when committee from the board OF
regents of State Hospital and of the
State Board of Charities and Correc-
tions met at Clinton and passed upon
a proposition which had been made
by the citizens of Clinton. It had
been decided previously that State
lands were not suitable to the pur-
pose, and a site near Clinton was ex-
amined with the result that it was
accepted, and soon as possible build
ing will be commenced.
The site selected is at Dover, two
miles east of Clinton. where the S.
A L. and G.. n. and L. railway tracks
cross. There arc go acres in the
tract acquired by the board, and op-
tions have been secured on $40 acres
,>cre, which will probably be bought
|. putting at the disposition of the
board about 1900 acres.
The $40 acres were purchased al
most entirely through contr buttons
made by the citizens of Clinton who
had raised 900 for this purpose,
the tract Of land costing slightly
more than this. The additional $40
acres on which options are held may
be purchased at between $1,000 and
