Army Maker Record Meat Purchase.

Army Makes Record Meat Purchase.
Chicago.--The Iargest single order
for bacon and canned meats in the
history OF the ''sfworld-99, $50, 900
pounds OF bacon and 134,000,OO0 pounds
Of canned meat-has just been placed
by the Quartermaster's Department,
y. 8. A., for the American Army over
seas. M
Louis b. Swift, In commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1,900,-
900 hogs, and II other work were
dropped to produce 1t, would be equiv
5Hfent to the total bacon production of
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly FIVE weeks, However, six months
will elapse before delivery is to be COM
pleted. Mr.. Swift said:
Eat the current prices on the day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $SO,000O00 for
the necessary hogs and ove- $50000,000
for about 900, O00. cattle required. The
cattle Will cost us twice as much, and
the hogs two and, one-half times as
much as In the pre-war period.
The whole order will be made up be-
fore the first Of the year, despite the
fact that, even before this purchase,
one-fourth of the packers facilities
have been devoted to filling military
demands. In order to get out the
canned goods the packers will find It
necessary to employ night and day
shifts Of Gamers. Notwithstanding
the fact that the products are being
rushed forward thus hurriedly, not a
single complaint has been received on
meats delivered to the armies abroad.
The five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly to keep
abreast of martial and domestic needs"

KEEP SHEEP FLOCK
TO CONTROL WEEDS

prepared by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.)
One of the best and cheapest
ways to control weeds on farms
Is to keep a flock OF sheep. In
addition to controlling weeds
without cost, sheep will render
profit by producing nutritious
food and wool, and will assist
materially In meeting demands
on the nation for meat and wool
production. II weeds are not
permitted to grow and develop
leaves they Will die, but 1t
would require a great amount
OF hard labor to keep most
weeds under control by this
method. Sheep will keep the
weeds down and the more
weeds they eat the less will be
their cost Of upkeep, and the
greater will be the supply of
food released for other stock.
Many rough or permanent grass
pastures that require moving
can be kept clean by the use of
sheep, while at the same time
the cattle-carrying capacity of
the pasture Is increased.

these early times II has been good
practice to store various green crops

cost than any other farm building.
3. The feed Is handy for use.

Chairman Daniels expressed doubt
that the present government man

continued satisfactorily in peace

management, he said competitive
waste should be eliminated by per
petuating the railroad administra-
tion's plan for curtailing unnecessary
passenger train schedules on paTal-
lei roads, and hauling freight over
the shortest routes, regardless of its
origin. Terminal equipment facili-
ties should be used in common and
government and regional tribunals
should be authorized to pass on pro-
posed railroad security issues to de-
termine the necessity of new lines.
