TURBULENT CHANNEL
 IS SWIMMING GOAL
 OF GERTRUDE EDERLE

NEW YORK, May 12.-(P-Game ness and determination in addition to exceptional strength and stamina as shown in her past performances will be of great aid to Miss Gertrude Ederle, IS year old mermaid of the Women's Swimming Association of New York when she undertakes to swim the English Channel this sum- mer.
 This struggle through 20 miles of turbulent water has been contemplat t. ed for some time by Miss Ederle, who is an experienced outdoor swim mer and quite at home in rough seas. As result of competitions in the south last winter she possessed the necessary speed.
 While she thrives in chilly water, Miss Ede1ie will find the Channel a worthy foe, for in midsummer the temperature seldom rises above 62 degrees. However, this is not likely
 
 to interfere with her trial, for she will start outdoor training at once to accustom herself to conditions over there
 Miss Ederle's perseverance, in face of defeat has figured largely in all her successes and will no doubt aid her materially in bridging her way to additional conquests. Although still in her teens, she already has ac- quired most of the worlds free style swimming records.
 Apparently unknown up to the sum- mer of 1922, she came into promi- hence as long distance swimmer in the international three and a half mile race for the Cay Cup in New York Bay. Then she was but 15 years old. Before that summer had passed, she had captured several national titles and set many worlds records for distances between 15O yards and 300 meters.
 Each year Miss Ederle spends four months at the family country place near Atlantic Highlands, New Jer- sey, and daily covers several miles regardless of weather, so that in ev- cry way she is prepared for the com ing classic. She intends to keep up

AN INCREASE In HOG
PRODUCTION BEING URGED
Department Of Agriculture Report
Saws Prices Will Be The High
est Since 1920.

A considerable increase in hog
production next fall and corr
acreage about the same as in 1873
were recommended by Department
of Agriculture today in the second
section of its annual outlook report
"Beef cattle prices this year" the
report said, should average some
what higher than last year, and
those for sheep and wool should be
at least on par with those OF
1924"
Poultry May Be Lower
Dairvmen were urged by the re-
mort to make no further expansion
in their industry. Higher egg prices
were forecast during the peak pro-
duction season of the year, but the
report warned that poultry prices
may be lower.
center 1925 with 18 per cent. fewer
hogs than a year ago, and there is
every indication that prices during
the next 18 months will be hlgner
than at any time since 1920. Six to
eight million fewer pigs will be
born this spring than last.
Against Corn Increase
"While the 1924 corn crop will
probably be well cleaned up, an in
creased acreage in 1925 does not ap-
pear advisable in view of the ind1-
Gated reducation in the feeding de-
mand. Stocks of old corn on farms
are likely to smaller han usual in
the beginning of the new crop
year, 1925, but it appears that not
more than an average crop would
be required to supply the needs OF
the country for both feed and COM
merciaI purposes.
Prices for beef cattle for 1925
should average somewhat higher
than for 1924. The industry is grad
ually working into a more favorable
position due to the relation of beef
to competing commodities, especial
ly pork. Market receipts will prob
ably be somewhat smaller than in
1924.
Dairy Prices Low
Further expansion in dairying in |
1925 seems inadVisable. A recovery |
in prices of dairy products could |
hardly be expected should the num- |
Der of milk COWS be further in
creased. Domestic production ap-
pearsadequate and the foreign dairy
situation is such as to KEEP world
market prices low.
Prospects for the sheep industry
in 1925 appear favorable. The world
outlook and the prospective meat
situation in this country promise
prices for 1925 at least on par
with those Of 1924. There does not
appear to be any immediate danger
of overproduction.
1.-THE outlook for the poultry in
dustry during 1925 from the stand
point of market egg prices is favor
able, while from the standpoint of
market poultry prices it is not so
encouraging"
