FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.

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 a very large part Of
the fat deficiency OF the world. In
beef there must be a shortage In Ecu.
rope, due largely TO limited refrigern.
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 10 the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to AMI.
Uhl IOou piOuuNhs ~ hiushhAeN W t'~
following:
Reports complied by the U. s. Do
partment OF Agriculture indicate an
Increase In cattle Of i0,23s,000 head
and i2,44i 900 hogs These figures
were complied TO January last.
In this period there was a decrease
In sheep OF $4,000 head. The indlca-
tlons are that this decrease will show
an Increase. according TO recent rc-
ports.
Since January unofficial informa-
tion indicates an Increase In hogs OF
not less than per cent and not
moro than 10 per cent M compared
with one year ago. with an Increase In
the average weight.
Following the request OF the U. 3.
Food Administration for an Increase
In hog production for marketing In tho
fall OF 1918 and the spring OF 1919 the
Increase may yield not less than i.00O,-
100000 pounds moro OF pork products
than were available last year. With.
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an.
imal food products would have been
impossible.
Tho dressed hog products during tho
three months ending September 30.
1917. amounted 20 003. iT2. 900 pounds.
while for the corresponding months OF
1918 the dressed hog products totnled
I .2f7. $4,000. an Increase OF over 374.-
0OO, 900 pounds for tho quarter
During tho same period for i0i7 the
records OF inspected slaughter OF
dressed beef showed 1908. 100000
pounds as against i.i5i. 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September l. this year.

GIVES COUNTRY NEEDED DYE
Usage Orange Just at This Time 10
Serving the Nation Remark
ably Well.

The Usage orange is serving its
country well. The wood of this tree
is furnishing dye for khaki and
olive-drab cloth. Scientists have long
known that the humble but plentiful
tree was capable of distinguished
service, but few persons belle we'd that
it would give itself, or at least its
yellow juices, to the military service.
When the dye shortage was felt in
the United States soon after the be-
ginning of the war, the statement
was made on high scientific authority
that the Usage orange would produce
one of the few natural dyes which
might permanently compete with the
aniline, colors, the manufacture and
sale Of which has been monopolized
by the Germans. The dye of this
wood is not an orange color, but a
light yellow which can be made to
yield several shades as desired.
The mock orange, though common
in the vicinity of Washington, is
