Twenty Billion Pounds Is Total

1918.

ports Are Shown.

Washington. - American dressed
meat production, including lard,
amounted in 1918 to 2O,129, 800 900
pounds-a quantity never before ap-
preached in magnitude by the live
stock industry of this or any other
country. The corresponding figure for
1917 was 1917 300 900 pounds.
Three-fourths of the enormous in
crease was in pork and one-fourth was
In beef.
The meat surplus in 1918 was so
great that extra export demands made
little impression on 1t, although 1918 ex-
port shipments of meat and lard nearly
doubled the 1917 figure-rising from
slightly less than 1,75O,OOO,O 900 pounds
to slightly more than 3,OOO,OOO,0OO
pounds-and these figures do not in
clude shipments to American military
forces abroad.
The aggregate 1917 consumption Of
dressed meat and lard In the United
States was approximately 14,5OO,OOO,-
600 pounds. This means. after allow
ing for increase in population an addi-
ton of % pounds for every man, wom-
an and child in the country-despite
the INSTRUMENTATION campaign which
In 1917 caused consumption to decline
considerably.
Farmer Was Big Factor.
while the people, as whole,
through their abstinence averted the
immediate crisis, it was the farmer
who was the really big factor in the
ultimate situation" says the bureau of
animal industry, United States depart
ment of agriculture. "The producer,
of course, was expected to do his part,
but he did 1t with such powerful effect
that In a single year the meat shortage
was turned into pronounced surplus.
Thus in 1918 there was not only meat
enough to supply all foreign demands
compatible with the restricted shipping
facilities, but greatly enlarged guam
tity was available for the home con-
sumption.
ITO be sure, 1t cost the farmer more,
much more, to feed his animals and
get them to market. Likewise, all other
steps from producer to consumer, be-
came more costly, hence the high
prices. But the unprecedented prosper

ity of the people, as a whole, enabled
fact, laboring people probably con-
sumed more meat during the last year
than In prewar times.
1.-THE total number of cattle slaugh-
tered in 1918 is estimated at 1880, 400,
as against 13,723,9OO in 1917. Their
average weights were practically the
same for both years, and the beef pro-
duced from them was 6,686, 900, 900
pounds in 1917 and 7641 ,OOO,0 900
pounds in 1918. This was remarkable
achievement, as it hardly would have
been credited that beef growers could
increase their production million
pounds in one year.
Results Called Stupendous.
"The hog natures quickly, therefore
much more rapid increase would be
looked for than was the case with cat
tie. Even so, the results for 1918 can
be described only as stupendous. The
hogs marketed in 1918 numbered 3d.
1854, 100, rs against 81 49,. 800 in 1917
Furthermore, the average weight was
nine and half pounds more per hog
In 1918. Thus when the animals are
turned into pork and lard we have a
total production of 1926, 1854, 900
pounds in 1918, as against 8,478, $780,
600 pounds in 1917, an Increase of q
TAI, 1856 600 pounds, or 32,4 per cent.
nearly one-third."
Striking increases in exports also are
shown by the bureau. Beef shipments
abroad in 1918 were "a per cent more
than in 1917-the chief 1918 items be-
ing 514,0O0,OO0 pounds of fresh beef
and 141 100000 pounds Of canned beef.
Exports of pork and lard In 1913
amounted to 2,279, 2S7 ,O30-which was
III per cent more than the quantity
sent abroad in 1917.
The bureau shows that in the aggre-
gate more meat by far is eaten in the

PLAN TO MAKE A ROAD DRAG
illustration Shows an implement
Which Is Simple and inexpensive
Tough Wood Best.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrculture.)
The accompanying illustration shows
a typical design for road drag, which
Is very simple and inexpensive. The
design contemplates the use of an ordi-
nary log Of timber, such as may be
readily obtained in almost every local
ity. The log should be about Z or 8
inches in diameter and from 6 to feet
long, and should preferably be of hard,
tough wood which will not decay very
rapidly when exposed to the weather.
White oak, burr oak, chestnut, cedar,
hickory, walnut, or any similar wood
may be satisfactorily used, provided
that 1t Is well seasoned before the
drag Is put into use. Railroad ties
have been frequently used for this
purpose and possess the advantage
that they are already cut to about the
right length. In selecting the tie,
however, care should be exercised to
see that it is of sound wood and Of
the proper size.
The drag is made by splitting or
saving the log into two equal semi
cylinders, which are then framed to-
gether in the manner shown in the
illustration. The better of the two
pieces should form the front runner
OF the drag, because 1t is the one SUBJ
jected to the greater wear. Moreover,
while the front runner should always
be placed with the face forward, it is
claimed by many that better results
may be obtained by having the round
part Of the back runner 60 forward in
order to increase the smearing action
OF the drag. The two runners are
usually spaced from about 80 inches
to 30 inches apart, and are connected
In ladder fashion by means of cross
stakes or rungs.
The ends Of the rungs are ordinarily
fitted into Pinch auger holes, bored in
the runners, and are securely held in
place by means Of end wedges. The
auger holes are so arranged that the
runners, when framed together, will
be displaced in a longitudinal direc-
ton with respect to each other. The
object Of this displacement, or Offset
as 1t is usually termed, is to make the
ends Of the front and back runners
follow approximately the same line on
the road while the drag is in oper-
alton. The amount of displacement,
therefore. should depend on the amount
OF skew necessary to make the drag
empty itself. But since this skew va
ries with the condition Of the road
surface, the proper Offset to be given
to runners cannot be definitely fixed.
Under ordinary conditions IN Offset
Of from about IL inches to about 10
inches will prove satisfactory.
In order to make it easy for a man
to stand upon the drag and to shift his
weight properly when dragging over
a hard surface, the drag should be
provided with two 1-inch boards paral-
lei to the runners and nailed down to

Sugar Forecast Above Average.

The sugar season of 1920 begins
with forecast of production of about
l 100000 short tons, made by the bu-
reau of crop estimates of the United
States department Of agriculture, or
about 1880 tons more than the aver
age Of the preceding six years, dur
ing which time the total of the two
crops of beet and cane sugar has
slightly exceeded 100000 tons every
year except in 1914-15.
The beet sugar forecast for this
year is higher than the record crop
Of 1856 by nearly $4,000 tons and
is above the average of the preceding
six years by about 10000 tons, but
the cane sugar crop of this year is
forecast at only $4,000 tons, COM
pared with which is the average of
about 254,500 tons of the preceding
six years. During many years the
cane sugar crop of only 1856 has
been lower and Of only 1929 has
Eeen nearly as small The low pros
poets of this years crop, at the date
OF July l, are due to wet, cool spring
and to a somewhat low acreage. In
recent years cane sugar has usually
been about one-quarter Of the total of
cane and beet sugar produced In con-
tiguous United States, but this year
the prospect is that it will be only
about one-seventh.
The area planted to sugar beets this
year is the largest one on record and.
it is estimated, reaches S90, 400 acres,
or 100000 acres more than last year
and $4,000 acres more than the larg.
est previous area, in 1917. The con.
dition of the crop July l was low,
on account of adverse weather con.
ditions.
