CROP NOTES.

Campaign for More Hogs Successful
Although definite figures are not
yet obtainable, the animal husbandry
division of the bureau of animal in
dustry is assured that the campaign
to increase pork production at least
Is per cent over last year has been
successful. According to reports
practically every state has done it's
part in obtaining this increase, and
some have more than made up their
quota. Data gathered by the United
States Department of Agriculture
show that on April / brood sows on the
farms of the United States had in
creased 912 per cent over the num-
Der on the same date the previous
year. Weather conditions during
March and April were very favorable
over almost the entire hog-producing
country, with the result that there
was a larger percentage of pigs rails
ed than has been the case for many
years past.

Dishonoring an Honor Flag

Barred by law from use of the American flag for their
propaganda work, the Ant-Sa1oon League is now desecratng
the Service Flag, which, while unofficial, is 4 today recognized
as an authoritative emblem of Loyalty. There has recently
been circulated in this state a 1eaf1et in the form of a Service
Flag which bears brazen, bald-faced and vicious misstate-
mentS.
To the average man, it would seem time for Christian
people, standing for mercy, right and justice, to at least
ascertain the truthfulness of statements they are asked to
circulate and to tacitly endorse. "Thou shalt not bear false
witness, etc." This Service Flag circular is a mass of false
hoods. It says brewers annually use 2,5OO,OOO tons Of food
stuhs. Government statistics prove that exactly a 10000 lie.
It asserts brewing consumes 10000 OC tons of coal yearly.
Official Federal figures as late as the recent fuel shortage place
this consumption at less than 3 10000 tons land this Of soft
coa). That is a 5000 lie. And 100000 cars are used
annually, they say. That would be 1879 of the entire supply
and would make brewing the greatest industry in America.
Nobody will believe this claim as it is about 5000 lie.
Then this circular proceeds to insult its own dry folks,
condemning the '2OO,0 900 to 500, 600 Wisconsin citizens who
regularly fail to go to the polls" They claim that four out
five of these stay-at-homes are dry. They insult them Wit
this couplet:
"Their fathers were heroes,
Their mothers were ssheroes,'
They're absolutely zeros."
They are called Slackers! That is a pretty strong tern
to apply in these war days to 100000 Wisconsin citizens
whose only fault in the eyes of the AntiSaloon League is that
they fail to vote dry.
