securely. Milky prepared to go. In his
goggles. with the low-visored cap and
fur coat, he looked not unlike his late
companion. But he had a jaunty step
as he walked toward the car, a bit of
swagger that covered, perhaps. just a
trifle Of uneasiness.
For Milky now knew his destination,
Knew that he was bound on perilous
work, and that the chances of his re-

less.

MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs Will
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified in Stimulation
Of Pork Production-se yenfoId
r.: Increase over Pre-,
War Exports.

Through Increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
10 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 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 U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle of 10,23S,0oo head
and 12,441,000 hogs. These figures
were compiled to 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-
ton indicates an increase In hogs OF
not less than s per cent and not
more than Is per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase In
the average weight,
Following the request OF the U. ).
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 800
00O. 900 pounds more of pork products
than We're 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 20,
1917, amounted to 903, 172,00o pounds,
while for the corresponding months OF
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
l.277, $4,000, an increase OF over 314,'
600, 600 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected Slaughter, o.
