|precedented prosperity of the people
as whole enabled them to afford
the increased cost. In fact, laboring
people probably consumed more
meat during the past year than in
pre-war times.
THE total number of cattle
slaughtered in 1913 is estimated at
15,750,400 as against 13,723,900 in
1917. Their average weights were
practically the same for both years,
and the beef produced from them
was 6,6S6,O00,0 900 pounds in 1877
and 7.641, 100000 pounds in 1918.
This was remarkable achievement,
as 1t hardly would have been credit
cd that beef growers could increase
their production a billion pounds in
one year.
"The hog natures quickly. there
fore a much more rapid increase
would be looked for than was the
case with cattle. Even so. the re-
suits for 1918 can be described only
as stupendous. The hogs marketed
in 1918 numbered 69,S54,700 as
against 57,4SS,S0O in 1917. Fur

production Of II, 1876, ,664, 900 pounds

pounds in 1917, an increase of
2,747,S55,000 pounds, or S2.4 per
cent, nearly one-third."
Striking increases in exports are
also shown by the bureau. Beef
shipments abroad In 1918 were "a
per cent more than in 1917-the
chief 1918 items being $4,000, 900
pounds of fresh beef and 41,0O0,-
900 pounds of canned beef. Exports
Of pork and lard in 1918 amounted
to ,279,2S7, ,030-which was TIL

abroad in 1917.

CLAIMS AMERICANS AREsGREATEST
MEAT-EAT|NC NATION ON THE GLOBE

Washington, May American
dressed meat production, including
lard, amounted in 1918 to 20,129,-
100000 pounds--a quantity never
before approached in magnitude by
the livestock industry of this or any
other country. The corresponding
figure for 1917 was 16,317,300,0 900
pounds.
Three-fourths of this 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, al
though 1918 export shipments OF
meat and lard nearly doubled the
1917 figures-rising from slightly
less than one and three-fourths bill
lion pounds to slightly more than
three billion pounds-and these fig
ures do not include shipments to
American military forces abroad.
The aggregate 1917 consumption
of dressed meat and lard in the
United States was approximate 14is
billion pounds, but In 1918 it rose
to 17h billion pounds. This means,
after allowing for increase in popu-
lation, and addition of 23 pound for
every man, woman and child in the
! country-despite the food conserva-
tion campaign which In 1917 caused
consumption to decline considerably
while the people as whole
through their abstinence averted the
immediate crisis, 1t was the farmer
who was the really big factor in the
ultimate situation" says the bureau
of animal industry, United States de-
partment Of agriculture. 1.-THE pro.
ducer, of course, was expected to dc
his part, but he did it with such pow.
erful effect that in a single year the
meat shortage was turned into pro
nounced surplus. Thus in 1918 there
was not only meat enough to supply
all foreign demands compatible with
the restricted shipping facilities, but
a greatly enlarged quantity was
available for the home consumption
ITO be sure. 1t cost the farmer
more, much more, to feed his ami
mails and get them to market. Like
wise, all other steps from producer
to consumer became more costly
hence the high prices.~ But the un

Grain Making Good Progress, VIII
iamette Alfalfa Turning Yellow.
But Fruit Crop Not Damaged

Portland, Ore. May There Il
still some complaint throughout the
state of shortage Of farm labor, ac.
cording to the weather bureaus
weekly summary Of Oregon crop con-
ditions, just issued. The weather OF
the past week was generally favor
able for farm work and for the
growth OF crops. The temperature
averaged slightly above normal but
there were several cold nights and
some frost. There was considerable
cloudiness, particularly in western
counties, and some rein fell, but the
soil was generally in better condition
to be worked than at any previous
time this season and farm work
made rapid progress. Farming
operations are still backward over
most Of western Oregon, the sum-
mary said, but are fairly well up to
date In the central and eastern
counties.
Winter wheat, rye and oats con-
tinue to make good progress. Some
low fields in the Willamette valley
are showing yellow but the condition
is not serious. Winter wheat is in
the boot in Douglas county and rye
is headed in the milder parts Of the
state. Seeding of spring wheat, bar
ley and oats continues. The soil is
generally in good condition and GER
mination is satisfactory, though
growth is rather slow. Flowing for
corn is in progress and some corn
has been planted. An increased
acreage OF corn is expected.
The general outlook for fruit is
excellent. Some local damage has
been done to all kinds of fruit by
frost and cold rain has interferred
with pollenation in some cases. but
this applies to very limited acre
age. Peaches, plums, cherries and
pears are we'll set.
