the Dobrudja settlement to the peaci

today. The government hopes that the
fact that Bulgaria was the first state
to withdraw from the war. and thus
hasten the conclusion of a genera
peace, will not be overlooked.
The scarcity of foodstuffs in BulgaIia
constitutes serious problem for the
government, and If supplies are moi
soon Forthcoming. there is great danger
of a famine. One cause OF this dear 7
of supplies was the wholesale and sys-

posting parcels through their own field
post, and thus practically every Ger
man soldier became an exporter. The
Bulgarian government was powerless
to prevent this practice. :

admitted that the "cootie" transmitted
more disease during the war than any

Disease in time OF war has always
caused more deaths than shot and shell.

it is interesting to record the estab-

MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs Will
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION
Government Justified in Stimulation
Of Pork Production-Sevenfo
Increase Over Pre-.
War Exports

Through increased production ansf
conservation we will lie able this year
TO export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
with the heavy demands added in car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression. the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action Of stimulation
OF hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be In
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy of the policy
of stimulated production has built up
In this country supplies which will en-.
able us to supply very large part ot
the fat deficiency OF the world. In
beef there must be Il shortage in Flu.
!. rope. due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however. will be filed by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products is Illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the U. 8. De.
partment Of Agriculture Indicate an
increase in cattle OF 10,23S,OOO head
and 12.441.0O0 hogs. These figures
were compiled TO January I last.
In this period there was decrease
In sheep Of $4,000 head. The indica'
lions are that this decrease will show
!, IN increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since Januury I unofficial informa'
ton indicates IN increase In hogs OF
not less than per cent. and no
more than Is per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an Increase III
the average weight
Following the request OF the q. s
Food Administration for IN increase
In hog production for marketing In the
fall Of 1918 and the spring Of 1919 the
Increase may yield not less than 1000.
600, 900 pounds more of pork products
.than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have beer
impossible.
The dressed hog products during tn
three months ending September 30
1917, amounted to 903, 900 pounds
while for the corresponding months 0,
1915 the dressed hog products totalet
1,277 $50, OO0.. an increase of over 374.
600, 900 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 tn.
records Of inspected slaughter o
dressed beef showed 1.263, 00O, O0t
pounds % against 1.464, 000, 900 poundl
for the three month period endin,
September 1, this year.
