INCREASED NUMBER OF HOGS
Pork Is Mainstay of Laborine Men and
SoIdiers-Need for Fats is Par
ticuIarIy Acute.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
An increase Of at least 10 per cent Of
the number of hogs during the year
1918, to provide pork, which with wheat

commended in the supplementary food
production program for 1918 Just is
sued by the United States department
OF agriculture. Pork, the program
points out, constitutes more than one
half Of all the meat produced in the
United States and it is the mainStay
OF the ration of labOring men and sol
diers- The need for increasing the sup
ply OF fats is particularly acute. AMI
NAL fats can be increased more quickly
by increasing the number of hogs than
in any other manner. An increase OF
from 3 to 80 per cent in hog production
in Is states is indicated as especially
desirable. The following measures are
recommended for increasing pork pro-
ductiOn.
The increase in the number Of hogs
in the Northwestern states should be
large In the New England states,
where only about two hogs are kept
per farm, the increase also should be
great
Pork production will be increased
economically by breeding for two lit
tiers a year, by saving through better
care a larger number OF the pigs far
rowed; by growing pasture and forage
crops; by using wastes. especially
town and city garbage; by proper pa
lions Of concentrated feeds; by the use
Of self-feeders; by pasturing alfalfa
and other 1egumes and other forage
crops; by hogging down grain sOr-
ghums and corn; by finishing hogs to
heavier weights up to about 20
pounds, and by preventive measures
which will keep hogs free from cholera,
tuberculosis, other diseases. and para

MebiIizina Harvest labor.

Steps for the systematic mobi1izas
ton of farm labor in Kansas were tax
en- at a meeting held in Kansas City,
May IA. This is the first of a series OF
meetings which are to be arranged by
the department of agriculture in a
number of cities to unite the efforts Of
all agencies working to secure labor to
help farmers in harvesting their crops.
At the Kansas City meeting a commit
tee was appointed to direct the work
Of the various agencies in the state
and to see that registrations are held
in the cities where city employees
who will do farm work during their va
cations can register. It is estimated
that $4,000 helpers will be necessary
to harvest the crops in Kansas this
year, and the commercial organiza-
lions in Kansas City have undertaken
to supply 10000 OF this number.

Because of the economic loss oc-

cause such dogs bring the whole OF
