MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs VIII
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage. >
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
of Pork Produetlon-Sevenfold
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.

Through increased production anu
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-wah
average exports Of pork PRODUCES
. With the heavy demands added In car
ing for the millions who have Deen
freed from German oppression, the
Department Of Agriculture ana inc
Food Administration are justified TO
day In our every action OF stimuiauon
of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage VIII De ID
fats, and pork will help to save tnls
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which VIII en-.
able US to supply very large part Oh
the fat deficiency Of the world In
beef there must be a shortage In Eu-
rome due largely to limited refrigera-
tor shin capacity. All freezer ships
available. however, will be filed oy
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers Of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to AMI
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the o. S. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
Increase In cattle Of 10,23S,OOO head
and 12,441 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was decrease
in sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
tons are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January 1 unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase In hogs OF
not less than 8 per cent and not
more than Is per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase In
the average weight.
Following the request Of the o. s.
Food Administration for an Increase
in hog production for marketing in the
fall Of 1918 and the spring Of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,6oO,-
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 909,172,0 900 pounds,
while for the corresponding months OF
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277, $50 900, an increase Of over S74.-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records Of inspected slaughter of
dressed beef showed 1,263, 100000
pounds as against 1,454, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September /, this year.

900. More than 100000 persons con-
! ..-..tGted Contributions totaling 1885,
1921 have so far been compiled,
These were the figures made pubic
today by Henry P. Dawson, chairman
of the Red Cross War Council, in de-
c}aring the campaign the most success
+ ul in the, history Of the nation. Mr.
Dawson said:
"The supreme feature of the achieve
ment is to be found not in the amount
Of money Subscribed, great as it is, but
in that 1t has come from every part
Of the United States from its cities. its
towns, its farms, its factories, from the
rich and the poor. regardless of sect
color or political creed.
while 1t is estimated that those con-
tributing to the war fund last year
numbered probably 100000 persons
our returns this year give evidence
that more than 47OO0O00 Americans
have contributed to the new fund.
This manifestation of loyalty and
sacrifice by the people of our country
brings to the Red Cross war council a
renewed consciousness of the sacred
ness of its trust. 1t will stamp indell-
bly, in the minds Of our soldiers and
sailors that the American people are be-
hind them to the utter7nost.
Such an outpouring of generous en-
thusiaszn. avowing even greater deter
mination to win the war, and, in the
words Of our president. to win it
worthily and greatly will also carry
a deepened assurance Of sympathy and
support to all the armies and civilians
fighting the battle of democracy in this
war.
Il congratulate every American who
has contributed either time or money
toward this, the greatest work of mer-
cy of love and of justice, in the history
of mankind"
