and the insurance of an adequate fu- ture supply
 These foreign orders are placed upon the basis of cost of hogs to the packers.
 Set Minimum Prices
 AS the result of long negotiations be- tween this body and the Packers Com mittee representing the 45 to 50 pack CTS participating in foreign orders to- sether with the allied buyers. all under the chairmanship of the food admins tration. the following undertaking has been given by the packers:
 In view of the undertakings on the part of the food administration with regard to the co-ordinated purchases of pork products. covered in the at tached, it is agreed that the packers participating in these orders will un- dertake not to purchase hogs for less than the following agreed minimums for the month Gf November that is q daily minimum of s17.50 per hundred pounds on average of packers droves excluding throw outs. Throw -outS" to be defined as pigs under 130 pounds. stags, bOars. thin sows and skips. Fur ther that no hogs of any kind shall be bought, except throw -outs. at less than S16.50 per hundred pounds. The aver age or packers drONeS 10 De construed as the average of the total sales in the market of all hogs for a given day. All the above to he based on Chicago.
 We agree that committee shall be appointed by the food administration to check the daily opera tions in the various markets with view to super vision and demonstration of the carry ing out of the above.
 'tThe ability of the packers 10 carry out this arrangement will depend on there being q normal marketing of hogs based upon the proportionate in- crease over the receipts of last year. The increase in production appears to be a maximum of about 15 per cent and We can handle such an increase
 If the producers of hogs. should as they have in the past few weeks. pre- maturely market hoes at such increas- ing numbers over the above it is en tirely beyond the ability of the packers to maintain these minimums. and therefore We must have the cooper alton of the producer himself to main = tain these results. It is a physical inn possibilitysfor the capacity of the pack ing houses to handle a similar over flood of hogs and to find a market for the output. The packers are anxious to cooperate with the producers ir maintaining a stabilization of price a nd

pork products for October. compared with about 52,000000 pounds in Octo- Der year ago, and the export orders plaeeable by the food administration for November. amount to 170,000, 900 contrasted with the lesser exports of 9S,000,000 for November, 1917 The in creased demands of the allies are con- tinuing and are in themselves proof of the necessity for the large production for which the food administration asked. The increase in export demands appears to be amply sufficient tc take up the increase in hog production but untavorable market conditions exist ing in October afford no fair index of the aggregate supply and demand"
 Supply Unequal To Demand CD
 Il must be evident that the enormous shortage in fats in the central empires and neutral countries would immed- lately upon peace, result in additional demands for pork products which. on top of the heavy shipments to the al- lies would tend materially to increase the American exports. inasmuch as no considerable reservoir of supplies ex- ists outside of the United States It seems probable that the present pros- pectlVe supplies would be inadequate to meet this world demand with the re- turn to peace. So far as it is possible to interpret this fact, it appears that there should be even a stronger de mand for pork products after the war and therefore any alarm of hog pro- ducerS as to the effect of peace is un- warranted by the outlook.
 In the light of these circumstances il is the conclusion of the conference that attempts to hold the price of hogs to the price of corn may work out to the disadvantage of pork producers. It is the conclusion that any interpreta- ton of the formula should be broad gauged policy applied over long per iod. It is the opinion of the confer ence that in substitution of the prev ious plans of stablization, the livestock subcommittee Of the agricultural ad- visory board. together with the spec ially invited swine representatives. should accept the invitation of the food administration to join with the admin istration and the packers in determin- ing the prices at which controlled eX- port orders are to be placed. This will be regularly done The influence of these orders will be directed to the maintenance of the common object. namely. the stabilization of the price Of live hogs so as to secure as far as it is possible fair returns. to the producer

 The plan embodied above was adopted by the conference
 The food administrator has ap- pointed committee comprising Mr. Thomas F..

Hall of the bu- reau of markets, to undertake the sup ervision of the execution of the plan in the various markets.

It must be evident that of fers by commission men to sell hogs below the minimum established above is not fair. either to the prodecer or the participating packers. MT. Brown has under taken on behalf of the com mission men in the United States that they will loyally support the plan.
 It is believed by the conference that this new plan, based as it is upon q positive minimum basis, will bring bet ter results to the producer than aver age prices for the month.

Warn Against Market Flooding

Swine producers of the country will contribute to their own interest by not flooding the market for it must be evi- dent that if an excessive over percent age of hogs is marketed in any one month, price stabilzation and control cannot succeed: and it is certain that producers themselves can contribute materially to the efforts of the confer ences, if they will do their marketing in as normal a way as possible
 The whole situation as existing at present demands a frank and explicit assurance from the conferees repre- sented. namely. that every possible eff fort will be made to maintain a live hog price commensurate with swine pro- duction costs and reasonable selling values, in execution of the declared policy of the food administration to use every agency in ite control to secure justice to the farmer

FEW BERRIES ON
HOLLY THIS YEAR
special to The EyepIng Journal.

GEORGETOWN, Dec. ii.-Dealers IN
holly wreathes IN al parts OF the coun-
W are complaining OF the inability TO
oil their orders which is mainly due
TO the fact that the farmers have been
busy getting In their corn crop and
winters supply OF wood and have not
had the time 20 devote TO tho making
Of wreathes. While there is plenty
Of holly to be found In this county
the trees are devoid OF berries, and
where the trade demands berries on
the wreathes the makers have been
forced 10 get berries from different
shrubbery initiating the holly berry.
Dealers are unable TO explain how Il
Ils that the holly trees have borne but
few berries this year. Some argue,
however, that II was due TO the severe
weather last year.
Wreathes without berries this year
are being bought by the dealers for
5 cents, while those with berries are
selling for 8 and 10 cents. Thus far
few OF the farmers have turned their
attention 10 making the Yuletide decor
atlons. but within the next week or 10
days they will enter into the business
In earnest and endeavor TO make their
