FARM ANIMALS SHOW
INCREASE IN VALUE
3l7l 900 Jump Taken in Mississippi During 1918 Raneys
Report Says

Value of farm animals in Missis-
6ppi increased s3l, III .ooU, according
% estimates made by J.. A. Ramey,
feld agent fo- the United States De
partment of Agriculture.
Total value of farm animals at the
md of 1918 was $162, ,726,0OO.
Mules led in value, showing a total
n S43,924, 900, while hogs were sec
md with s36,5l2,000. Mich cows
phowed a valuation of S32 $4,000.
Sheep are coming back rapidly. in
<pite of the fact, as pointed out in Mr..
Ramey's report, that there are no
nws to protect sheep against rowing
knrs. In 1918, the value of sheep in
Pie state increased from S7S3.0O0 to
u ,2O8, 900. Goats valued at 100000
IT the end of 1917, increased $4,000
p value during 1918.
There was an increase in numbers
pf all classes of farm animals dur
ihg 1918, Mr.. Ramey reports, and a
corresponding increase in value. The
number of native-born horse and
mule colts in 1918 was the largest in
me history of the state.
Oxford eagle., 1919-02-13

Mich cows increased by eight per
cent in number and by 26 per cent
by valuation. Total value of their
milk for 1918 is fixed in Mr.. Ramey's
report at $50 ,S72 900, or.1.7 times the
total value Of the COWS themselves.
Hogs showed a twenty per cent in
crease in numbers. The average
farm price per head at present is sic,
an advance Of 81 per cent over jan
uary 1918, and the increase is due
chiefly to bette breeding.

There was an increase in the num-
ber of all classes of farm animals in
Mississippi in 1918. The large in
crease in cotton acreage demanded
more horses and mules. That demand
was partially met by the introduction
of improved farm machinery and
implements. Furthermore farmer:

I BURNS.
ONE HUNDRED INJURED
EVERY WINDOW IN CENTRAL
PART OF CITY BROKEN BY
EXPLOSION.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, May "a
score of persons were killed and .
hundred injured by an explosion at
the Douglas Starch works. OF the $50
men and boys who had just gone to
work on the night shift, few escaped
injury or death. The entire plant was
burned by resultant fire. which was
confined to the Douglas plant. The
loss is $S,OOO.OO0.
The shock was felt all over Cedar
Rapids and for miles around the coun-
try. Fire broke out and consumed the
shattered plant.
Firemen extricated dead and wound
ed from the debris hastily to avoid
incineratiOn. The injured were rushed
to hospitals and homes as rapidly as
volunteers with automobiles could be
mustered.
So severe was the explosion that
persons were thrown from chairs n
mile away. The cause of the accident
could not be determined. but Is thought
to have been due to either a defective
boiler or spontaneous combustion.
Many of the hundreds of employees
were in or near the factory buildings
when the blast covered the ground for
blocks with wreckage. Some were
buried In the shattered buildings,
while others were hit by flying rem
nants.
Within half an hour twenty-five
bodies were reported removed.
Broken glass flew in veritable
showers through the streets near the
plant, cutting the faces and hands Of
many who were near the factory.
The blast blew in large windows
many blocks from the Douglas plant,
and persons within office buildings
also suffered from the shattered
glass.
With the fire raging, cries were
heard coming from the drying room
of the plant, but fIremen were unable
to cut their way in.
Additional explosions from the oil
rooms scattered the burning wreckage
and firemen were hard pressed to pre-.
vent the, spreading of the flames to
nearby industries.
Men covered with starch were taken
