THE PORK SITUATION

The United States is exporting vast
in the war. Before the war (l9lO-
1914 we exported on the average of
about 900. .O"0 900 pounds Of pork aAd
pork products yearly. Of which about
one half was lard. During 1917. ex-
ports increased to I AT 600 900 pounds
showing an increase shipment of 5l7,-
OOO 900 pounds in one year. This 57.A4
per cent increase consisted entirely of
meat. exports of lard remaining about
| normal.
7 These exports must continue to in
crease as the war continues rs the
/ Allies herds are rapidly being dimin-
ished and rs our armies grow.
Statistics show during the 3 year
period ending Dec. 1, 1916 swim in
France decreased 1912 per cent, while
the year ending Dec l. 1915 Germanys
herds decreased 3l.47 per cent.
Germany's herds are almost consum-
| ed.
In 1916, the number of pigs in the
British Isles decreased Ms follows: Ire
land, 26.4 per cent, Scotland, 9.5 per
cent, and England and Wales ll.5 per
cent. This shows = total decline Of
GOO. 900, of which over $1,000 were
breeding sows.
Hogs decreased more than any 9th
er live stock, due to the greater need
of fats and the ease of curing and
shipping.
November l. 1917, 1863 storages in
the u. s. showed q decrease Of 2l
per cent in stocks of dry salt pork,
and 81 per cent decrease in lard over
1916.

die more pork than all other meats
combined. Pork constitutes more than
one-haf of all the meats produced in
the United States and is the main stay
in the ration for the labOring man
and soldier.
If the war continues the United
will have to almost re-stock Europe
with hogs and cattle
| There is only one hog to every
800 acres of land in Colorado-prac-
tically hogs to every square mile, or
one hog to every 5 inhabitants.
In 1917, the average consumption
of pork per capita in the United
States was s5.4 pounds. The average
market weight of hogs in Colorado in
; 1917 was approximately 100 pounds.
