Intense bitterness prevails in the

in Clark's Valley, so that thousands
of hunters and fishermen will be

NEW RECORD IN
WHEAT OUTPUT
Three-fourths of the Increase
Last Year Was in
Pork

Washington, May T. American
dressed meat production, including
lard, amounted in 1918 to 2O,129,-
100000 pounds-a quantity never
before approached in magnitude by
the live stock industry of this or any
other country. The corresponding
figure for 1917 was 16,317, 800, 900
pounds.
Three-fourths of this enormous
increase 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 it, although
1918 export shipments of meat and
lard nearly doubled the 1917 figures
rising slightly less than one and
three fourths billion pounds to
slightly more than billion pounds
and these figures do not include
shipments to American military
forces abroad.
The aggregate 1917 consumption
of dressed meat and lard in the
United States was approximately
fourteen and onc-half billion pounds,
but in 1918 it rose to seventeen and
one-quarter billion pounds. This
means. after allowing for increase
in population. and addition of twen-
ty-three pounds for every man,
woman and child in the country. de-
spite the food conservation cam
paign which in 1917 caused con-
sumption to decline considerably.

This agitation, however, is sec
ondary to the move by Dauphin
county sportsmen who are fighting
to prevent the closing of game ter
ritory in the upper end of the coun-
ty. One well-known big game hunt
er to-day likened the efforts of the
Consolidated Water Company to the
land magnates of England, 10 OF
whom are said to own the bulk of
land in that island. One of the most
active persons in opposing the ef-
fort to close up Clark's Valley and
parcel it out in private hunting
parks is ]. Allen Barrett, who has
written an appeal to a multitude of
srortsmen asking their help. An
other leader is II. L. Burlington, of
Lykens. who points out the injus-
tice of this proposition in the fact
that $500 hunters licenses are is
sued each season for Dauphin coun-
ty. and the Clark and Powell valleys
are the popular stamping ground. A
strong argument heard on all sides
is that the money from licenses
makes the fund used by the State
to stock rivers, creeks and ponds
and by closing a vast tract of ter
ritory this contribution is cut down.
