MILLIONS Of POUNDS
OF FOOD EXPORTED
In Month Of April England Received
358,O5S,OOO in Beef and
Pork.
SHORTAGE NO LONGER SERIOUS
Such Is Message Conveyed to Amer
lean Food Officials by Admins
traitor in Charge OF British Sup
plies-Somc Figures Quoted.

WASHINGTON June c9-The effect
in England OF :hc greatly increased
shipments of meat from this country
during the past two months is indi-
Gated by cable received from the
British ministry of food.
During April. 35e.O5s.ooo pounds of
beef and pork products were export
ed. as compared with lGl.o0oo0o pounds
in April, 1917. and 43,7oO.0 900 rounds
in April. 1914. before the war began
The total exports of meat products
last April were therefore about o20 per
cent of exports i'll the same month last
year. and about $50 per cent of those
in April. 1914.
The cable which follows emphasizes
the necessity for building up 4 fcoI
reserve against any contingency and
urges that there be no slackcning OF
effort on this side Of the Atlantic
Thanks to the splendid respo use
from America. the shortage which was
threatened in beef and bacon is now
no longer as serious as IL has Leer
during recent weeks, and the meat
ration. which was reduced. from the
workingmans point of view. almost to
the vanishing point has now hren re.
stored TO the normal amount under the
compulsory rationinE system. The
Willingness with which the populatio
as IA whole has accepted compulsory
rationing and the success OF the ra-
tioning arrangements have produced a
marked decrease in consumption. and
this also naturally eases the food sit.
uation.
supplies OF butter and cheese. how
ever. are still inadequate to meet
the requirements, but it is hoped that
imports frcm America will remove
anxiety as regards our position in
these commodities.
The fact that it is now feasible TO
maintain the scale of compulsory ra-
tioninS must not be taken to mean ;hat
there is any surplus OF food in the
country. Under conditions of war such
rs this 1t would obviously be an elc-
mentaly precaut!on TO build up as
large a reserve of food rs possible ia
an island which is menaccd by sub
marine blockade. No such reserve Is
yet in sight, and there should be 10
slackening in American efforts TO pro-
vide foodstuffs for the allied nations"

FOR HORSES

Opportunity for breeders OF heavy
draft horses in Oregon, and partlcu-
larly IN the Willamette Valley Ia
great, believes Wayne Dinsmore OF
Chicago, secretary Of the Percheron
Society of America, who makes a
study OF horse conditions In the state
and who was q visitor at the Oregon
Agricultural College.
There Is no question but that
there will be a heavy advance In
prices of heavy horses" said Mr..
Dinsmore. MY prediction is that
grade mares weighing 1900 pounds
or more Will bring $500 each within
five years. Geldings selling at $300
In Chicago, are bringing $1,000 In
Great Britain. More than 900 Per-
cheron horses have been shipped
from this country to Canada In the
last 10 months--611 In the last sew
en- months.
There Is demand for, heavy
draft animals which will increase.
Breeding stock will command par
ticularly high prices. The VILLAIN
ette Valley should be in position to
supply this want. MY impression is
that 1t is an admirable country for
the breeding OF high class livestock.
The pastures and grain crops are adj
equate and the grazing season is long
and mild"
