MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs viii
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage. }
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
of Pork Production-Sevenfo
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
! average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added in car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department Of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action Of stimulation
Of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats. and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy of the policy
of stimulated production has built up
In this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply a very large part Of
the fat deficiency of the world. In
beef there must be shortage In Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filed by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers Of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the q. S De
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle of 10,238,O00 head
and 12,441,0 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January l last
In this period there was a decrease
In sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
lions are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January l unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs of
not less than s per cent. and not
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request of the U. S.
Food Administration for an increase
in hog production for marketing in the
fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,600,-
100000 pounds more of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to SOB, $4,000 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1927, $4,000, an increase of over 374,-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter Of
dressed beef showed 1868, 100000
pounds as against 1,454,000,000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September /, this year.

The most pressing need of the schools
of the County is greater supply of
teachers, for many schools are closed
this year because of the imposslbility of
securing teachers for all the schools. In
this connection it might be added that
another pressing need for the better
welfare of our schools is for the County
School Authorities to be enabled to Sc
cure beginning teachers who have been
regularly certificated by the State De-
partment of Education instead of hay
ing so many beginning teachers in the
service without professional training
who have only Provisional Certificates;
and it is now becoming more difficult
each year to secure even teachers with
Provisional Certificates since the State
Department of Education requires that
applicants for Provisional Certificates
of even the lowest grade shall have at
least educational preparation equiva-
lent to the completion of the ninth grade
of the public school system of Mary
land, which minimum educational prep
aration cannot be secured in the one
room schools of the County, but must
be secured in the accredited high
schools thereof or in the larger schools
which carry accredited work beyond the
seventh grade.

ry was with us. We couldn't get rid OF
him at all, so we found an old barn
and thought we had better sleep the
rest of the night, as 1t was about three
o'clock in the morning then.
We built fire and dried out a lit
tie and finally went to sleep, Jerry
and all. We woke up about eight and
Jerry was still sleeping. That was
one German that sure did not need any
guards. do not think we could have
run him away. We all turned out to
find something to eat. We came IN to
an M. p. STATEN and had breakfast and
they said they would take Jerry; and
believe me, he sure did hate to leave
us. He said that he had had more eli
garettes to smoke than he had before.
