Through increased production ana

freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are Justlned TO-
day in our every action OF stlmuiauoh
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 VIII en-
able us to supply very large part OF
the fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be shortage in Eu-
rope. due largely to limited refrlgera-
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 o. S. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle of 10,23S,00O head
and 12,441, 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was decrease
in sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
lions are that this decrease Will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January 1 unofficial informa.
ton indicates an increase in hogs OF
not less than 8 per cent. and not
more than Is per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request of the q. 8
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 1,60o,.
100000 pounds more of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase tie shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an.
fmai food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
.three months ending September 30,
,l9N, amounted to 9O3,172,000 pounds.
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1877, 5S9,000, an increase of over 874..
100000 pounds. for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter of
dressed beef showed 1928, 900
pounds as against 1.454. 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September l. this year.
