BIG INCREASE IN
PORK PRODUCTION

Der and Quality

With an estimated total of $4,000
hogs in Dauphin county. and $4,000
actually reported, the survey of cat
tie and hogs just completed by the
Dauphin county food administration
under orders from the federal food
administration, shows a remarkable
increase in the pork production in
Dauphin county during recent years
In 1910 there were 1886 hogs.
natural increase would he ten per
cent. so that the normal number
of pork producers would be about
1S,20O. But the county schoolteach-
ers, who conducted the survey under
the supervision of the food admin
istration, reported 24.000 hogs actu-
ally counted, with an added IL, 900
estimated.
The huge surplus is largely cred
tied to the Dauphin County Farm
Bureau, under Farm Agent H. G..
Niesley, and Paul E. Koenig. direc-
tor of Boys and Girls Pig Clubs, who
organized numerous clubs fox in
creased pork production during the
war.
The State Department of Agricul-
ture estimated Dauphin county
should have about 22.S0O cattle.
whereas the farmers possess about
20 900 head of cattle.
Two hundred of the 234 county
teachers who were called upon to
make the survey through the county
schoolchildren, reported Some of
the teachers dropped the survey
work because of the recent influenza
epidemic, and others because the
survey was thought to have been
called off by the federal government
with the signing of the armistice.

Returning to the consideration of

He witnessed the awful ravages
they committed. without military
necessity therefor. which he could
have prevented. but apparently, in
his published declarations, gloated
over them.
There can be no permanent peace
for the ages to come until all the
great criminal violators of the laws
of war in this war shall, as an object
lesson, be brought to the bar of mill
itary justice before a military COM
mission, and, If found guilty, duly
hanged.
In this category are the former
German Kaiser and his son, the for
mer Crown Prince; also Won Hinden-
burg, Ludendorff. Admiral Won "Trip

tivities. and submarine and other
offenders charged with violating
these laws.
AS before remarked. the United
States entered this war in vindica-
ton of the law of nations, so dread
fully and atrociously violated. Our
officers and soldiers in the Expedi-
tionary Forces abroad best know,
because they have periled their
their lives in the cause for which
their country went to war. the
dreadful and horrible outrages COM
mitted by the Boches on persons
and property and the deliberate
devastation and ruin of churches.
cities, villages. and cultivated lands.

factories in Belgium and Northern
France and removal of same 10 Ger

President Wilson in his address to
Congress on Dec. 2, 1918, on this
subject said:
Many of the factories are razed
to the ground. Much of their ma
chinery is destroyed or has been
taken away. Their mar
kets will be taken by others if they
are not in some special way assist

These acts were perpetrated under
sanction of commanding officers
with approval of the German War
Lord.

Piracy on the high seas, including
the submarine warfare on hundreds

was president of q commission re-

officers of rank, then on parole. had
the year before violated the laws of

AS to ill-treatment of prisoners of

hanged, while the officer who was
