out annually $4,000 tons of armor
plate, guns, projectiles, and miscel-

ested in the positions which are to be

MISSOURPS SURPLUS
FARMYARD PRODUCTS

Jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. 14-Mis-
souri,, the Poultry Queen of the In
ion, added further laurels to her clay
of the hen" in 1917, when the total
value of all farmyard products, ia
counties considered, reached the enor-
nous sum of SOL ,844,782, announces
advance information from the 1919
Missouri Red Book, given publicity to-
day by Commissioner VIM. H. Lewis.
Included in this vast worth are all
chickens, pullets, ROSTERS, capons, tur-
keys, geese, ducks, squads, pigeons
and guinea fowls, and eggs and fea-
theirs marketed that year by Missouri
farmers and poultry raisers. While
there were substantial gains in the
number of pounds of poultry and doz-
ems of eggs hauled or sent to consum-
ing points, heavy increase in unit
value of the commodities considered,
due chiefly to war conditions, 1917 ov-
err 1916, brought about the high to-
tai value.
In comparison the 1916 farmyard
products marketed from Missourl's
ia counties had a worth of $72,399,-
$40; the output Of 1915, sea, 486,61S;
the output of 1914, $50, 708, 484; and
that of 1913, $53,225,113.
With Missouri surplus farmyard
products, 1917 worth a total of $10l,-
844, 1852, it will be interesting to know
that over sixty per cent came from
sales that year of 1913, 590,746 dozens
of eggs, which, at an average of 81
cents, had farm worth of SOL, $685.
131. To more clearly indicate what
the egg industry meant to Missouri
poultry raisers, this sum is nearly
$40, 100000 more than all the States
poultry products sold for in 1915, re-
CARELESS Of the fact that the sum real
lied that year totaled $53, ,113, and
of which 29,026,5S4 came from the
sale of 193,510,5G0 dozens of eggs at
an average farm worth of Is cents a
dozen.
According to the calculations of Su-
pervisor of Statistics A. T. Edmon-
ston, Missouri farmers and poultry
raisers, in 1917, through marketing
240, 350,522 pounds of live and dressed
poultry, gathered in $40, 161, 100 The
quantity Of live poultry sold was 172,-
333,017 pounds which, at 1862 cents a
pound, had a total farm worth of $27,-
917,949. The Gs,O17,5O5 pounds of
dressed poultry sold had total farm
worth Of S12,243 ISL.
For total Of l,174,l81 pounds of
feathers which were marketed by
poultry farmers and poultry packers,
at an average Of 26 cents a pound,
the total sum realized was $320,551.
The portion of farmyard products
sold directly to consumers includes
vast amounts Of poultry and eggs
hauled in vehicles to consumers by
farmers into cities such at st. Louis,
Kansas City, St. Joseph, Moberly,
Mexico, Sedalia. Carthage, Cape Gil
rardeau, Webb City, Springfield, Louis

LIVE STOCK MARK EFT
National Stock Yards, ILL.,, Sept. Is
Today's Receipts

oheep ,.......... .0,UUU
CATTLE.-A few lots of strictly
fat northern beef steers and prime
light northern butcher cattle have sold
steady during the week, this being due
to the scarcity of such classes and not
from any unusually snappy demand.
Thus, in mentioning this, it is solely
with the idea of stating the facts and
at the same time sales of this charac-
ter, for the reasons as set forth, have
had no bearing on the market what
ever and are no criterion upon which
to judge the trade.
The big share Of the weeks supply
consisted Of the usual fall varieties
from common trashy Gamers up to a
good class of grass and feed steers,
cows and mixed stuff. The supply has
been ample; in fact, too much so, and
further lowering in price values mas
been effected for the rank and file.
For instance, killing steers average
25c to SOC lower than the low point
last week, while Gamers, butcher
stuff and mixed cattle have had a SOC
decline and record the lowest market
of the year The stocker and feeder
trading has been virtually at stand
still, due to the controversy between
feeder buyers and the Stock Yards
Company as to feed charges. While
this has naturally had its effect on
cattle that are suitable solely for
country purposes, we do not believe it
will continue any length of time.
HOGS.--lf the value of pork on the
block has dropped as sharply as the
live hog has of late, then there should
be partial relief from the high cost
of living. At one time late last week
the extreme top of the market set
tied to 1873, or a loss of $3.50 per
100 pounds, compared with the high
time early in August. The market has
recovered somewhat since, today's
opening being on a basis Of $18 to
$18.25 for best hogs, but due to the
weak close, $17.S5 was the crest at the
finish. Present hog prices are there
fore $50 per 100 under the record
market previously indicated. This de-
cline has been general, but in reality,
heavy hogs have suffered mostly. The
facts are, fat hogs 100 to 225 pounds
are the market toppers, while the
heavier the hogs above that range,
the cheaper they sold in prices. 275
to 300 pound hogs selling far less in
dollars and cents than those around
the preferable weights.
SHEEP.-With fair supply avail
able throughout the week, selling
rates have deprecated same as cattle
and hogs, SOC per cwt., being the av-
erage loss recorded on both sheep and
lambs. However, there was consid-
cradle more life to this trade than to
the other two departments in spite Of
the fact that receipts have been fair
ly generous. Very best lambs at this
writing are topping at S15.25, and by
the way the only load to bring this
price was sold by US; fat sheep large
ly at So.
