production Mr.. Hoover made this state
ment' on July II in letter to- President
Wilson: "Our slaughterable animals
at the beginning Of the last fiscal year
were not appreciably larger than the
year before and particularly in hogs,
they were probably less. The increase
in shipment is due to conservation and
the extra weight of animals. added by
our farmers. The full effect of these
efforts began to bear their best results

hold purposes to the new amount.
Retailers are requested to note this
change on their sheets for consumer g
pledges and to insert the new maximum
upon these pledge sheets used during
the month.

fcient sugar will be allowed to bring
