FARMERS SAVE SITUATION

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-waF
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 tho
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 Il very large part OF
the 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 ny
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-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle Of 1O,23S,O00 head
and l2,441,OOO hogs. These figures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was a>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 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 1913 and the spring of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,6O0,-
100000 pounds more Of pork products
than were available last year. With.
out this increase tie shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding ar.
imal food products would nave been
impossible.
! The dressed hog products during tho
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to 9O3, 172 900 pounds,
while for the corresponding months of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1921, $4,000, an increase of over 374,-
100000 pounds for the quarter
