ity OF the people, as whole, enabled
them to afford the increased cost. In
lact' laboring people probably con-
suined more meat during the last year
than In prewar times.
The total number of cattle slaugh-
tered in 1918 is estimated at IL, $50, 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 6,6S6,0OO,OOO
pounds in 1917 and 7,641 100000
pounds in 1913. This was remarkable
achievement. as it hardly would have
been credited that beef growers could
increase their production a 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.
S34.7OO, as against 57,4S3.S0O in 1917.
Furthermore, the average weight was
nine and a half pounds more per hog
in 1918. Thus when the animals are
turned into pork and lard we have q
total production Of 11,225, $4,000
pounds In 1918. as against S.47S, $780,
600 pounds in 1917, an increase Of 3

Striking increases In exports also are
shown by the bureau. Beef shipments
abroad in 1918 were 81 per cent more
than in 1917-the chief 1918 items be-
ing 514,0OO.OOO pounds Of fresh beef
and al, 900, 900 pounds of canned beef.
Exports of pork and lard IN 1918
amounted to 2,279, 2S7. O3O-which was

Of the wonders accomplished by this

was organized originally to contain AZ
companies, but the Forty-ninth was
added In France, being composed OF
members Of the New England saw mill
unit who had spent almost two years
in cutting in the Scotch forests. Three
officers and 90 men volunteered as
nucleus Of this company. The full
complement was secured by getting
men from other organizations.

ment was in the vosges section. with
Epinal as headquarters. At Eclaron,

of shipping, as it did, an average OF
5000 ties q day. This mill furnished
duck boards, bridge timbers, piles and
poles, ETC., for the First and Second
armies.
"At the time the armistice was

Output Never Approached In Maoni.

Striking Increases in Ex-
ports Are Shown.

Washington. - American dressed
meat production, including lard,
amounted in 1918 to 2O,129 100000
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 16,317 100000 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 it, although 1918 ex-
port shipments Of meat and lard nearly
doubled the 1917 figure-rising from
slightly less than 1.75O,OOO,OOO pounds
to slightly more than 3,OOO,OOO,OOO
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 5OO,OOO.-
900 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 food-conservation 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. 1.-THE producer,
of course, was expected to do his part,
but he did it with such powerful effect
that in 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, it cost the farmer more,
much more, to feed his animals and
get them to market. Likewise. all other
