MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American HOGS win
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
81 Pork -sevenfoId
h Increase Over Pre-.
War Exporta

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-
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 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 filed 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 1925, 900 head
and 12.441 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January 1 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 re-
ports.
Since January 1 unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase In hogs of
not less than s 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. 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 1,6OO,.
100000 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.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted to 9O3, l72 900 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277 900, an increase of over 374,.
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter of
dressed beef showed 1,263,OOO,OOO
pounds as against 1,454, 0O0, 900 pounds
for the three month period ending
September /, this year.

Immense: Reservoir Planned.

drawn from entry state lands lying
under the contemplated United States
reclamation project to place a dam in

is learned that this project is now re-

reclamation officials. Government land
under this proposed project which was
withdrawn from entry some years ago
has never been restored to entry. The
project provides for a reservoir where
is now situated the town Of American

hardly developed.
There could be established between

The whole thing is a reasonable
business proposition. If we expect to
draw vast labor supply from Italy
then it is to our interest to see that
we handle our human exchange in a
human and economic way. We would
save money by organizing in Italy
American methods for social Ills. The
Italians would do it themselves and
need only to be shown the way. Be-
sides the missionary side of it, the
