Through increased production and

The contribution made by the pro

gram as applying particularly 10 AMI
NAL food products IS illustrated by the
following
Reports compiled by the e. s, De
partment OF Agriculture indicate an
increase In cattle Of 10,23S,000 head
and l2,44l 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled 10 January / last.
In this period there was decrease
In sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
lions are that this decrease will show
an Increase according 10 recent re-
ports
Since January ! unofficial informa-
ton indicates an Increase in hogs OF
not less than s per cent. and not
more than 10 per cent as compared
with one year ago, with an Increase In
the average weight
Following the request OF the y. s.
Food Administration for an Increase
ip hog production for marketing In the
fnll Of 1918 and the spring Of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1900
100000 pounds more 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.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted to 903, pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277, $3.50, 900, an Increase of over 374,-

During the same period for 1917 the
records Of inspected slaughter OF

FOOD PRICES INCREASE.
Associated Press Dispatch.

ASSOclaCeQ GfeSS DlSpaCcn.
 London, Jan. 1.-The cost of the principal foods has increased more proportionally in Norway, since the war began, than in the United King dom, France or the United States, says the Board of Trade and Labor Gazette. The comparison shows the increase to have been 114 per cent in Norway, 105 per cent in the United Kingdom, 83 in France and 46 in the United States.
 Some of the detailed increases per cent in the United Kingdom are:
 Beef, 79 to 1855 per cent; sugar 188; milk 96; tea 107; eggs, fresh, .239; butter 99; fish 191.
 It is estimated that of all the items ordinarily entering into the family expenditure of workingmen, includ- ing food, rent, clothing, fuel and light, the advance on pre-war times is about 85 per cent.

 2. Harrow, roll and pulverize the seed bed thoroughly before planting.
 3. Use only the best possible seed, preferably pedigreed seed, from re- Sponsible plant breeder.
 4. Make liberal use of fertilizers, and use manure whenever obtainable to supplement the fertilizers.
 5. Give thorough and frequent cul- tivation to the titled crops, preferably shallow and frequent cultivation.
 6. Harvest savingly and protect the stored crops from pests.
 While it is true that everything the farmer has to buy is high in price, it is also true that whatever the farmer has to sell is also high in price. The fertilizer people figure out that their products have rot advanced in price as much as the price of crops, and that IS matter of fact, cotton, corn, pea nuts, tobacco and the like will buy more fertilizer now than ever. Which being true it follows that it will pay better now to use it than formerly for the increase for which they are re- sponsible will be worth more.
 Another thing that the farmer must bear in mind if he would be sure to raise bumper crop and that is, to place his orders early for everythins that is to be shipped by rail. The railroads are hard put to it and do not afford assurance of prompt ship ments. Orders placed late are more than likely to be too late to be deliv- cred in time.
 Even if shipping were good, there would be nothing gained by delay. Prices are, not to be lower. In fertilizers, espec here is scare ity of materials dvancing prices, making it improba that the fertilis- CT will be cheapeI

Upon those whom the united states has not called from the farm, rests a great obligation of feeding and clothing the liberty armies of the world. The greater the crops the harder the armies will be able to strike.
 What can hinder the farmer from making maximum crops? Will it be a lack of market and a good price? No, the market and price prospects are good
 Will it be for lack of money or cred it with which to buy tools, seeds, fer tilizers or other necessary supplies? No, money is plentiful and credit is good.
 Will it be for lack of labor? Labor is scarce without doubt. In fact, the shortage of labor is practically the only great obstacle the farmer has to meet in producing maximum crops. If he could have abundance of labor he could increase the cultivated acreage and by proper fertilization he could bring in a very great crop. But in view of the lack of labor what must he do?
 lie can do two things to overcome the labor shortage: First, increase the applications of fertilizers, which will increase the yield without enIarging the cultivated acreage. Second, use labor saving machinery.
 But overcoming the labor shortage is not all that is necessary to obtain maximum crops. Here is a schedule of important things that must be done by every farmer to get maximum crops:
