Army Makes Record
Meat Purchase

Chicago, July 20,-The largest single
order for bacon and canned meats in
the history of the wOrld-99, $50, 900
pounds of bacon and 134,000,000 pounds
of canned meat-has Just been placed
by the quartermaster department, U.
s. A.; for the American army overseas.
Louis F. Swift, in commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 100000
hogs and if other work were dropped to
produce it would be equivalent to the
total bacon production of the five lar
gest Chicago packers for nearly five
weeks, however, six months will elapse
before delivery is to be completed,
Mr.. Swift said:
CAT the current prices on the day,
last week, when the purchase was made,
the packers would pay the livestock
producers about $S0,000000, for the
necessary hogs and over $50'000,000 for
about 10000 cattle required.
''The cattle will cost us twlce az
much, and the hogs two and one-half
times as much as in the pre-war period
'sThe whole order will be made up
before ,he first of the year, despite the
fact that, even before this purchase,
onefourth of the packers facilities
have been devoted to filling military
demands.
''In order to get out the canned
goods the packers will find it neces-
sarv to employ night GAd day shifts
of Gamers, Notwithstanding the fact
that the products are being rushed for
ward thus hurriedly, not single com
plant has been received on meats de-
livered to the armies abroad.
''The five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly to keep
abreast of marital and domestic needs.
