ministration's Grain Corporation
and the Commission for Relief in
Belgium were instructed to pur-
chase pork products to be available
later for sale to Germany and for
relief in Southern and Eastern
Europe when it could be establish
ed. The French and Italian gov
ernments after earnest representa-
tions were prevailed upon to rein
state their orders for delivery in
January and February Of 1919 and
still further strenuous negotiations
resulted in a practical lifting of the
blockade on neutrals. The United
States Army supported the market
through purchases, and, DR.. Surface
points out, these combined pur-
chases barely supported the market
through the first two months OF
the year.
When the War Trade Board. on
March 9Th, removed government
control from the pork market
it seemed that disaster had arrived.
but in the meantime Mr.. Hoover
had accomplished two missions
which saved the situation. He sue
ceeded in organizing an inter-allied
relief body for the distressed
peoples in newly-liberated countries
Of Europe and in effecting relax
alton of the blockade against Ger
many. Thus markets were created.
immense shipments were begun.
prices were maintained and the
American farmer enjoyed the
profits of his labor.
DR.. Surface makes the definite
statement that this availability of
American food in Europe undoubt-
edlv STAYED off a disastrous famine
and unquestionably prevented the
spread of anarchy and bolshevism.
Thus American farmers not only
contributed to the winning of the
war, but were powerful factors In
the restoration OF war-torn ter
ritory

so far as the control Of the govern
ment, neutral and allied buying OF
pork would permit. he would at
tempt to keep the market price of
hogs in a definite relation to the
price of corn.
The experience the farmers had
after accepting this assurance is re-
counted by the author of this re-
cord in entertaining manner. He
tells of the anxiety and discour-
agement caused the Food Admin
istration by breakdown of rail ship
ping facilities, unreasonable market
ing and the lack Of allied ships to
carry the cargoes. and Of the earn
estness OF the farmer in continuing
his production at top speed.
Then came the ArInistice, and
with It the threat that the market
would collapse. The allies forgot
the assurances they had given to
purchase the output of the Ameri-
can farmer, and indicated that they
intended to turn to the Southern
Hemisphere now that the sub
marine and other naval threat was
removed. where they counted upon
much lower prices and increased
supply. To this the United States
Food Administration dissented in
no uncertain terms, maintaining
that since the allied governments
had pledged them to the purchases
they should fulfill those promises
or assist in the disposal Of the
pork elsewhere.
But allied orders were cancelled
neutral countries were strictly ra-
toned or blockaded, proposed re-
lief programs which would have
provided an outlet for the products
were thwarted. and the outlook for
the American hog grower was In
deed anything but promising. The
story of the manner in which the
United States Food Administrator
set about to keep faith with the
! farmers Is interesting. The Ad'

FAMOUS BATTLES
(BY the Associated Pressl

James :. Jeffries defended his title
against Tom Sharkey in rs rounds at
Coney Island, November 3. 1899 in
bout that was not satisfactory to
either principal.
Both criticized Referee George
Siler, Jefreries saying the challenger
should have been disqualified. and
the loser uring himself the win
ner on points.
SO much speed was developed
when Sharkey pulled the glove from
Jefferios left hand that the referee
could not call halt until several
blows had been exchanged with the
champion sans one glove.
