MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs VIII
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified in Stimulation
of Pork Notwithstanding
Increase over Pre-
War Exports.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.

Through Increased production and
conservation we win 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 rs to supply very large part Of
tie fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be 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-
parunent of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle Of 10,23S,000 head
and 12,44l, 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled TO January last.
In this period there was a decrease
in sheep of $4,000 head. The indlca-
lions are that this decrease will show
an Increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January ! unofficial informa.
ton indicates an increase in hogs OF
not less than per cent and ho'
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight
Following the request OF the Z. S.
Food Administration FOR an Increase
! in hog production for marketing in the
( fall of 1915 and the spring Of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1900
/ 100000 pounds more OF pork products
than were available last year, With
our this Increase the shipping program
arranged by AIr. Hoover regarding an
lmal food products would have beer
impossible
The dressed hog products during th'
three months ending September 20
1917, amounted to 903,172000 pounds
while for the corresponding months OF
1913 the dressed hog products toialet
1,277.5S9 600, an increase OF over ga,
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 The
records OF inspected slaughter o
dressed beef showed l,2G3000,00
pounds as against 1,454,O00000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September l, this year.

SUGAR Showed
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up

STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
6y Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Averted q
Famine at Home in Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions Of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis.
tribution and in September only 49,
600 tons In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would

famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were'so low rs to bring
great anxiety TO those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
it would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration viii stand forth so pre-,
dominantly as this reduced consump.
ton Of sugar. BY 1t we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops wsre in sight.
Now the nation is in position so
that If we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to 90
far niicld, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however those
nations are TO increase their use of
sugar very considerably It must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light Of succeeding events It
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 tie war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to PGrlS.
"Even though the situation In Ell
rope may be gloomy today" he de.
clared in a public statement, "no
American who has knowledge Of the
results already obtained. in every dl.
rection need have one atom of fear
that democracy will not defend itself
in these United States"
