Of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
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 q 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. Do
partment Of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle Of 1O,238,0O0 head
and 12,441, 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was q decrease
In sheep Of $4,000 head. The indica.
tons are that this decrease will show
an increase. according to recent 70.
ports
Since January l unofficial informa-
ton indicates an Increase In hogs Of
not less than 6 per cent. and not
more than IS per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase II
the average weight.
Following the request of the U. 4
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.
arranged by Mr. Hoover regarding an.
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 50
1917, amounted to 003, 172, 900 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277, 589, 600, an Increase Of over 374..
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 tho
records of inspected slaughter OF
dressed beef showed 1893, 100000
pounds as against l, 454, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending

yOnd comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead OF $780,
600 tons, We must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by
America. it would have been impos-
sible for them to maintain their de-
tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
racy is success ana that in time ct
need it will rise to its own defense.
II there were no other accomplish
ment TO it's credit the very fact that 1t
has shown the strength Of democracy
has in itself more than justified tho
existence Of the Food Administrator
In the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
Irresistible.
MANY thinking AmericanA" said
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that 1t could not DO
done Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have a.
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many d.
rectons and upon the mere word of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage Of our Army and finances"
The history of the Food Administra-
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith in democ-
racy has not been misplaced.
