MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs win
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified in Stimulation
Of Pork Produetion-Sevenfold
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.

Through Increased production and
conservation we will he able this year
to export seven times our pre-wnr
average exports of pork products
With the heavy demands added in Cur.
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 very large part Of
the fat deficiency of the world In
beef there must be shortage in Flu
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filled 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 U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture Indicate an
Increase in cattle of lO.23S.OtO head
and l2.441. 600 hos These figures
were complied 10 January last.
In this period there was decrease
in sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
tons are that this decrease will show
an increase. according to recent re-
ports.
Since January | unofficial informa-
lion Indicates an increase In hogs Of
not less than s per cent. and not
with one year ago. with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request of the q. 8.
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 l,6OO.-
100000 pounds more Of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the sl, ,ping 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 10 9O3. l12,OOo pounds,
while for the corresponding months of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277. $500 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 l,263. OoO, 600
pounds us against 1,454,OOO, 600 pounds
for the three month period ending
September |. this year.

Colored Church Buys Gamer.

Department of Agriculture Reader.l
Successful canning work has been
done in ,colored community in Vir-
ginia the Fast summer through the
foresight of its minister. Impressed
by the home demonstration agents
talks on the value CT canning the sur
plus products Of the garden, this up
tc-date leader of a colored church de-
cided to invest in large hot-water
Gamer and 1860 cans for start. His
plan as it was carried out was not to
do commercial work. but to get the
people CT his church to save enough for
themselves this winter. His daughter
has had charge Of it, and the members
Of the congregation have brought their
fruit and vegetables to his house and
canned there under supervision, saving
money for themselves and canned
