FEWER HOGS DIE OF DISEASE
Annual Death Rate for year Eno'nV
March, 1918, Reaches Lowest
Mark in IS Years.

PREPARED by the United States DEPART
ment of Agriculture)
The death rate of swine from all
diseases for the year ending March,
1918, was 42.1 per 1000, and Is the
lowest In IS years, according to rec
ords kept during that period. This
unprecedentedly low rate OF mortality
presents a great contrast with those
of earlier periods, particularly with
the losses of 1888 per 1000 in 1887,
IA per 1000 in 1897, and 1889 per
1000 in 1914, years marked by severe
outbreaks of hog cholera. This is even
a remarkable reduction from the nor
NAL low rate of losses which has re-
NAMED slightly above 50 per LOO
when the disease was least prevalent.
The approximate number of hogs on
hand January /, 1918, was 71,374,OOO.
The loss of 42.I per 1000 for the year
ending March. 1918, therefore repre-
scented approximately 100000 of these
animals, equivalent to the consumption
of pork and pork products by the en-
tire population of the United States
for 1917 for 25 days.
These recent losses should be COM
pared with that of 100000 hogs in
1914. which curtailed production to the
extent of the national consumption for
that year for 81 days.
The marked reduction In the losses
Of swine in 1918 over preceding
periods, In view of the fact that 80 per
cent of these losses are due to hog
cholera. indicates clearly the benefit
from the combined efforts Of state and
federal agencies In protecting the
farmers against the ravages of this
exceedingly fatal disease.

Samples Of Suitable Parcel Post Pack
ages.

the sure-f way to establish a depend
able, continuing, and increasing bust
ness is to forward nothing but strictly
reliable and satisfactory produce.
The average producer, as rule, does
not realize the Importance of appear
ance as factor in selling goods and
frequently is careless and Indifferent
In preparing produce for market. The
consumer, on the other hand, relies
very largely upon appearance in select
ing food supplies, and unattractive ar
ticles are passed by promptly. Prod
uce should be of high quality, clean
and attractive, carefully and neatly
prepared and packed, of one variety,
and, as far as practicable, uniform in
size, shape, color and quality; and
last, but not least. carefully packed to
insure its arrival in satisfactory con-
jition.
All successful cooperative market
Ing organizations of growers and pri-
vate marketing organizations have an
ironclad rule that no fruit of any kind
which has fallen on the ground shall
be picked up and shipped. 1t is even
more important that this rule should
be observed in parcel post marketing.
Producers should at all times strive for
uniformity in the products shipped
uniformity of size especially, and also
of color and quality.
1t may be stated that as q usual
proposition it is feasible to ship only
the produce that is of high value in
comparison with its weight. In any
case, the net returns will be the deter
mining factor; only general facts can
be stated in this connection. In fam
ily baskets or containers, or in assorted
lots Of vegetables and of fruits, there
Is likely to be demand for the inclu-
sion of many of the heavier articles,
such as potatoes, cantaloupes, cabbage
and onions, the shipment of which
alone might not be justified.
A personal acquaintance should be
established between producer and con-
sumner, if it does not exist, when they
come into business contact. This Will
help a great deal in furthering parcel
post marketing, and also will eliminate
many or the Observation-Disclosures which
may occur from time to time. A definite
understanding should exist as to the
duties of each in regard to remittances,
claims for damaged or spoiled produce,
and the preservation and return of con-
tainers. Monthly remittances by the
consumer probably would be satisfac-
tory. More frequent payments prob
ably would be Objectionable to the pur-
chaser, while the producer in most
cases would not be satisfied with less
frequent settlements. Consumers
should remember that farmers are us
ually busy and not inclined to need
less correspondence. Farmers shouA

The spell of the wild was upon him.

brooks whose waters rushed In foamy
splendor from hilly heights above. He

Useful Trees Needed.

In many countries of Europe the
highways are lined with fruit trees,
pruned each year by the government.
In this country our highways are dec
grated with hedges, few tame shade
trees, willows, catalpas, elms, cotton
wood, poplar, soft maple, box elder
all useless trees. We need black wall
nut, butternut. hickory, oak, hard ma
pie for sugar and various fruit trees.
We need spruce for airplanes and pine
trees for lumber. Thorn hedges are q
nuisance. We need hazelnuts, null
berries, cherries, currants, raspberries,
blackberries, apples, plums. crabs.
peaches. pears, grapes. Where Is q
more suitable place than our highways
and streets?

shrubs as the barberry bush.
