Increase in weight usually carries

WEAR PAJAMAS IN STREET

Belgrade, March IT, American
pajamas are now being worn as outer
garments by tens of thousands of des-
titute men and boys in the Balkans.
The American Red Cross has sent
over million suits to Serbia, Monte
negro and Greece. The shortage Of
clothing throughout this region is SO
great that the poor are glad to get
any form of covering. Bath robes
are being worn by the women, who
find it impossible to get cloaks.
Women's coats are being worn by
MEN and boys, for whom it is impos-
sible to get male attire.
Discarded dress suits, old silk
gowns, dilapidated ball room slippers,
out-of-date robes, all gathered by the
American Red Cross from Americas s
generous families and valued lightly
at home, are seized eagerly by the
poor of Serbia and Montenegro.
Dressed in these unusual garments,

to keep clad and avoid the rags they
we're accustomed to previous to the
advent of the American Red Cross.

saving device. And in case the cot.
ton crop fails, or cotton prices are
very low, he is the farmers financial
salvation.
With all of these considerations in
his favor, it is wonder the hog has
not won an even more important
place on the Southern farm than he
now enjoys. The chief reason is that
he does not fit into the credit sys-
tenn of the country. Any man who is
In position to raise cotton can bor-
row money on his prospects in any
Georgia town. The cotton bale is as
much a unit of trade is the dollar.
But the same can not be said of the
hog. He is a newcomer. There is
nothing against him except the forces
OF custom and inertia. And these are
being overcome.
At present the chief need of the
Georgia hog is more corn. For while
sweet potatoes and velvet beans and
peanuts and all the other waste and
forage of the farm are good enough
Tor him to grow up on and give him
distinctive flavor and firm flesh.
corn remains the one and only "fin-
lshing' feed. If he is to compete
with hogs from other sections of the
country in the great markets, the
Georgia hog must be intensively corn
fed for short period before his
execution. Georgia grew 68,OOO,OO
bushels of corn last year, all of which
was fed to live stock, in the State,
and it is going to grow 11O,OOO,OOO
bushels this year. Yet there is not
enough corn for the growing army of
hogs. This means that cotton must
surrender still more of its acres to
corn before Georgia pork can be put
on firm basis.
And there is little doubt but that
cotton will do so. Right now, when
cotton prices ought to be going up,
they are going down. The boil
weevil is marching toward the sea
like another Sherman. Meanwhile
Georgia pork is fetching top prices
in the Northern markets, and the
Georgia porker is thriving. No won
der that the Georgia planter, looking
back over his long and losing strug-
gle with the cotton market, plants
old cotton fields in corn and buys
more and better hogs.

agriculture sent out the urgent plea
that each section raise as much OF
its own meat as possible, thus saving
transportation as well as adding to
the meat supply.
The way Georgia responded to this
call is shown by the fact that there
are now 3,043,000 hogs in the State,
and the export pork products exceeds
the import, which has already fallen
to $15,00O,OO0 a year.
The gain in quantity is not by any
means the only gain. A few years
ago there was the merest scattering
Of high grade hogs in Georgia. To-
day the DurocJersey and Hampshire
hogs are being raised and sold all
over the State, and numerous farms
have been established for the purpose
of supplying the farmers with blood
ed stock.
The fact of the matter is that in
responding to the hurry call for in
creased meat production most of the
Georgia farmers discovered for the
first time how finely their section is
adapted to the production Of hogs
and how much better it is to have
two sources of income instead of one
one having always been cotton.
Putting ham and bacon on a hog
is what makes him valuable. Mere
fat produces only the lower grades
of pork products. And the valuable
'streak O. lean" is the result of a
mixed diet.
Now Georgia farm is the very
place where hog can get mixed
diet. Almost anything will grow
down here and the growing season is
three-fourths of the year. They
plant the corn rows about three to
seven feet apart. Between the rows
they plant velvet beans which climb
the corn stalks and peanuts, locally
known as goobers. The hog is usu-
ally turned into the field to clean up
this growth in the fall. OF course,
the peanuts are gathered and market
ed when there is a market, but the
hogs always get part of the crop, and
sometimes get it all. The same is
true of sweet potatoes. They are
raised for the market and since the
South has discovered what kind of a
sweet potato the North wants, mark
citing has become more successful
The Southerner likes a red, juicy
sweet potato of the yam type. A dry
sweet potato finds no favor with a
Southern epicure. And it took the
South long time to realize that the
North wants a dry, mealy, pale look
ing sweet potato, resembling an Irish
potato as much as possible. Now,
such sweet potatoes are being raised
quite generally for the northern
trade. And the hog stands by to take
what the North doesn't want. He
has no prejudice against either kind
of sweet potato. He gets all of the
culls in any case, and when the crop
is large he gets some of the choic-
est potatoes. Thus he is always at
hand to absorb and turn into ham
and bacon any crop that does not find
ready market. Inasmuch as he
goes into the field and harvests the
crop for himself, he is also labor
