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

Through increased production and conservation we will be able this year to export seven times our pre-war average exports of pork products. With the heavy demands added in car ing for the millions who have been freed from German oppression, the Department of Agriculture and the Food Administration are justified to- day in our every action of stimulation of hog production. In the coming year the greatest world shortage will be in fats, and pork will help to save this situation. The efficacy of the policy of stimulated production has built up in this country supplies which will en- able us to supply very large part of the fat deficiency of the world. In beef there must be a shortage in Eu- rope, due largely to limited refrigera- tor ship capacity. All freezer ships available, however, will be filled by 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 U. S. De partment of Agriculture indicate an increase in cattle of 10,23S,O00 head and 12,441, 900 hogs. These figures were compiled to January last.
 In this period there was a decrease in sheep of S19,O00 hehd. The indica- tions are that this decrease will show an increase, according to recent re- ports.
 Since January 1 unofficial informa- tion indicates an increase in hogs of not less than 8 per cent. and not more than 15 per cent. as compared with one year ago, with an increase in the average weight.
 Following the request of the U. S. in hog production for marketing in the fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the increase may yield not less than 1,600,- 100000 pounds more of pork products than were available last year. With out this increase the shipping program arranged by Mfr. Hoover regarding an- imal food products would have been impossible.
 The dressed hog products during the three months ending September 80, 1917, amounted to 9O3.172,OO0 pounds, while for the corresponding months of 1918 the dressed hog products totaled 1.277. .5S9. .000, an increase of over 374,- 100000 pounds for the quarter.
 During the same period for 1917 the records of inspected slaughter of dressed beef showed 1,263.OO0, 900 pounds as against 1, ,454, 100000 pounds for the three month period ending September 1, this year.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
 RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events 1t is interesting to recall the confidence with which the United States Food Administrator viewed the gloomy out look in July of 1917, when this coun- try had been in the war for less than four months and the Germans were steadily sending the western front nearer and nearer to Paris.
 "Even though the situation in Eu- rope may be gloomy today" he de clared in a public statement, sno American who has knowledge of the results already obtained in every di- rection need have one atom of fear that democracy will not defend itself in these United States"
