THE HOG SITUATION.
There is Shortage of Hogs in the
Country.

There is an acute shortage of hogs
and hog products. According to the
Food Administration the world is
short nearly 40,000,000 hogs. Meas
ured against the needs of the Unit
ed States and her allies this coun-
try should have 100000 more
nogs in 1918 than were produced IN
1917. Iowa's quota for 1918 is an in
crease of nearly 100000 head ov-
er the 1917 production, which was
about 20Ge under normal.
Such an increase will not mean a
surplus. 1t will be merely our share
toward making up the present def
cit and filling the abnormal demand
of the world for pork and pork pro-
ducts. SO far in 1917, 100000 few
er hogs have been slaughtered at the
central markets than during the cor
responding time last year. Our ex-
ports of hog products so far this
year have been 9S1,000,00O pounds,
against 4O5, 100000 in 1914. Next
years demand for export and for use
in our Army and Navy will be still
greater.
A great increase in the pork pro-
duction is not only justified by the
long shortage and the demand for
pork, but by the feed situation as
we'll While it is true that the corn
crop of Iowa and number Of the
other corn belt states has been over
estimated both as to quantity and
quality, the nation as whole does
have a tremendous crop Of grain
suitable for hog feeding. The FEEDER
al crop report for November 1917
shows 6O7,S42,OO0 bushels more
corn, 32S,732,OOO bushels more oats
and 20,72S,G00 bushels more barley,
or a total Of 957 ,2S6,000 bushels
more of the three crops combined
than produced in 1916.
The South, usually a market for
corn belt grown grains, will be self
sustaining this year, and probably
will have surplus of both corn AID
protein concentrates such as peanut
meal and velvet bean meal for ex-
port. Normally around eighty per
cent of the corn crop Of Iowa is fed
to livestock. Practically thirty per
cent of it is fed to hogs. This year it
is estimated that we have fewer cat
tie than usual and not more than
eighty per cent of the normal num-
Der of hogs on feed in Iowa. While
more corn will be used directly as
human food and in manufacture
this year than usual the market will
not be able to absorb without diff
Guilty the great surplus thrown upon
it because of the dearth of livestock.
There is much soft corn in Iowa
that must be fed before spring, as it
will not keep for summer feeding.
However, by sorting and saving such
corn as will keep, by making use OF
the splendid quality oats and by the
purchase of such by-products as mid
dlings, corn oil cake, hominy feed,
etc. for next summers feeding; there
is not locality in Iowa where big
pig crop cannot be raised and carried
through till the 1918 corn crop Is
ready. There will be feed enough for
the biggest pig crop Iowa ever rails
ed if we plan for it properly.

IRON FOUNDRY IN WAR AREA
How Women o: France Are "Doina
Their Bit" to Keep the Wheels
Of Industry Moving.

An interesting narration OF opera
ton under unique and difficult confi-
lions Of an iron foundry in the war
area is given by the correspondent OF
a British paper writing from the firing
line in France. He relates: One does
not see much foundry work out here,
but few weeks ago I was billeted In
a town near by, and actually saw a
cupola in full blast. at once got per
mission to have look around, and
was greatly surprised at what 1 saw.
The foundry was a very primitive af-
fair-just little jobbing shop-and
was mostly run by French women and
girls, superintended by few men.
These women were making work up to
three or four hundred pounds in
weight. and in little side shop some
half dozen women were making COM
ponent parts Of machinery by the
simple method Of bedding-in. I after
ward saw some Of the finished work,
and 1t would put to shame the work
done by many Of our so-called molders
at home. The women work in ordi-
nary dress. and work very clean and
exact in both iron and brass, and also
under shell IRE and air raids. In the
shop was a great hole where ? Ger
man had dropped q bomb the night b.
fore. but the women still worked on

WHEN HE MADE RECORD JUMP
Younsster Was Trying to Escape Dog
he Thought Was Mad, SO There
Was Abundant Reason.

Commander c. B. Fry, who has tenn
porarily relinquished athleticism in or
der to train boys for the navy. de-
scribed. to me the other day how he
first came to discover his ability as
jumper.
"When quite youngster," he said.
Il was one day strolling along close to
our house. when there came bounding
along the road in my direction an ex-
ceedingly wicked-looking terrier I had
recently become possessed of.
''The animal was foaming at the
mouth and showed other unmistakable
signs OF excitement and distress. Hy-
drophObia was rife in the district ut
the time. A horrid fear gripped me.
Turning swiftly aside, took the ditch
and hedge bordering the road In one
wild leap. la.Aded safely in an or
chard on the other side, and was up a
plum tree a few seconds later.
'The dog, however followed through
a gap in the hedge and sat at the bot
tom Of the tres, but he brought a toad
in his mouth, and perceived he was
not mad beyond the degree OF trying to
eat the toad. So / came down. and
went to have a look at the hedge I
had jumped over.
ut was much higher than my head,
not to mention the ditch. 1t was many
years before I jumped as high again."
