PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs VIII
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified in Stimulation
of Pork Production-Sevenfold
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-
lay in our every action of stimulation
Of hog production. In the coming year
he 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
n this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply a 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 wal 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 12,441,0 900 hogs These figures
were compiled to January l last.
In this period there was a decrease
in sheep of S19,O head. The indica-
tons are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports. Y
Since January 1 unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs OF
not less than s per cent. and not
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request of the g. S.
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,-
900, 900 pounds more of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
Impossible. .lr.S~a~
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80
1917, amounted to 903, 10000 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277, $4,000, an increase of over 314,-
O0O, 900 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter Of
dressed beef showed 1,263, 000.0 0
pounds as against 1,454, 100000 pounds
for the three mouth period ending

THE first thing we did to a new
man who came into the regiment was
to give him his little companions
provided he had not come from an
other regiment that had 'em. We
found that the man who didn't have
'em was likely to be uppish, and too
darned particular about asseciating

him at once. and thereby made him a
part of the regiment. We would
throw him down. open his shirt, and
then slip a few of 'em on him. We
would have to hold him while they
hid-then the job was done. and he
was one of us. If you give those lit

1,49O Acres Added To State Forests

State Forester Alfred Gaskill an
aounces the purchase of fourteen hun
bred acres of timber land in Wood
land Township, Burlington County, by
the Department of Conservation and
Development. These additions to the
Lebanon State Forest were purchased
from the Sarah Black Estate, William
H. Reeves of New Libson, and Samuel
B. Norcross, of Mount Holly. By this
acquisition several detached State
owned areas have been joined to-
gether into a compact unit capable of
more efficient management.
The State now owns six State For
ests in Burlington, Ocean and Sussex
Counties, each under the charge of a
resident forest ranger. The forests
are being protected from fire and
abuse; the production of timber is aid
ed and encouraged; technical forestry
studies and experiments of value are
carried on; timber and wood products
are sold when their removal is bene-
fetal to the forest; roads, trails and
camp sites are developed for public
use. The State Forests demonstrate
to private owners how their own wood
lands should be managed. Such prac-
tice generally applied, will ultimately
bring New Jerseys 1000, 900 acres of
woodland from their present partial
productiveness to their proper and nor
NAL status, and to this end the State
Forests set a valuable exabple.

Shades of Solomon!

If Justice Benedict of the Supreme
court of New York were running for
president of the United States and his
election depended upon the woman
vote. there is no doubt at all that he
would win by an overwhelming ma
jority, after the sentiments which he
expressed in an opinion. IF there is
any one thing in common that women
are jealous of, and particularly CRATE
full for the Indulgence of, it is their
precious right to change their minds"
said the justice. The occasion for
these wise words was a plea by a
woman plaintiff to change her lawyer.
The ~1nstice decided in her fayer: sA
I.~tv to an action" he said, especial
+ 4 woman, has the right to change
Ter mind and her attorneys whenever
the spirit moves her, for no reason or
for any reason which suits her within
or fancy. This precious prerogative
must be protected and preserved by
the court, even against the protest OF
the superseded attorney"

A Hill of Potatoes Grown With Fertil-
izer in 1917 at Hayward, Wisconin.

only two fist-big potatoes to a hill.
The average yield of the United
States, however, is slightly less than
one such potato to a hill.
Now for the figuring. There are
about $4,000 hills to the acre. AT least
there should be, with normal planting.
When there are not approximately this
number it means that the seed was
poor, or the man on the planter vent
to sleep, or the soil was in poor condi-
ton, or that there really wasn't plant
food enough to grow a good crop.
Not every hill a be like the illus
tration. That would represent a 400
bushel crop. Many soils can't furnish
plant food enough unless helped out
by fertilizer. Yet it costs just as much
to pillow and plant for an average 100
bushel crop as for one that goes 400.
1t costs just as much for seed and it
costs just as much for land rent. The
big difference is on the income side.
The bank account for a 4%00-bushel
crop is what makes it so attractive.

A potato of the size of your fist

Even the square dances still had
angles of 80 degrees. And the waltz

the world obeyed. All of which goes
to show the horrible danger of say

in poetry. Perhaps if he had not

all you have to do is to interpret
present dancing. 1t ought to be
easy, because every one is doing it
just exactly as enthusiastically as
they did in those dim days when the
above immortal words were first
coined by genius and set to syn
copation. But the question still is:
What are they doing? Like the
world, they are doing almost any
thing. The world is going through
a period of reconstruction, and so is
the dance. Things have been NOV
ing fast, but the dance is moving
faster.
Broadway is the only place where
you can catch it, and even there it
is on the wing. London is follow
ing, but London is laps behind. Lon
don, for example, has only reached
the Jazz. On Broadway the sfimmie
is thing of the past. Already they
are asking-What next?
What, for instance, to go back to
ancient history, is the jazz? You
ask the business man in his pro-
verbal state Of fatigue and he will
light the cigar he paid q quarter for
the privilege of purchasing before
he answers.
"Ihe jazz" he will say. "Well,
the jazz the jazz is when
they start playing a. rag and then
somebody blows an auto horn and
somebody else hits a tin bucket

step, | guess"
And the music starts and he and
his partner walk, skidding slightly
at the corners, and the waltz plays,
and they walk, sliding in graceful
circles, and the foX-trot plays. and
they walk, and the one-step plays,
and they walk little faster. Brill
liant as were the professionals that
came before, sparkling as was the
sparkling wine, Broadway walks,
and reduces the dance to a straight
line with just enough curves in it
to carry the gay reveller safe around
the room.
