In looking back over hog statis-
ties for 20 wears. it is noted that
there are 58O0O,0O0 hogs on the
farms in the United States in 1923,
showing slight increase over 1926
when there were J1.0o0.000 and in
1927 when there were 54,000,000
during the 20 year period. There are
Is years when a large number Of
hogs were reported on the farms,
tine highest year being 1919 when
100000 hogs were present.
From an economical standpoint it
has always been a problem to get
the consuming public to purchase
the cheaper or less desirable cuts of
beef along with the moro desirable
and higher priced cuts. The creating
Of these less desirable cuts into
various products has answered the
need to certain extent but still
the necessity remains Of cutting w
the beef to realize a considerable
liGhcr price for the more desirable
cuts i'm order to offset the losses on
the cheaper portions of the animal.
It can readily be seen that when
the bulk of the demand is fer only
a very small part of the beef ami
nal that prices for these particular
cuts are likely to soar and the
cheaper cuts 90 begging, so to
speak.

DEAD JAPANESE
SCIENTIST WAS
MARTYR TO WORK

NEW YORK, July 28.-(Spccia)
Hideyo Noguchi the famous Japa-
ncse bactcriologist who died recent
ly of the yellow fever he was COM
batting at Accra on the African
Gold Coast, deliberately insisted on
heading the African campaign des-
pite the warning that his poor
health would make him an easy vic
tim Of the deadly plague germs.
Although 81, married and the
veteran of dozen campaigns
against disease in various parts of
the world which had undermined
his health, Dr. NGguchi refused to
give the African assignment to any
of the many -rapabtr Younger scien-
fists who were at his command.
"Thc younger men have not my
experience and background. ] must
90 to Africa myself. - was his de
cision.
Success at Accra would have
meant the complete eradication Of
the yellow fever germ from the
globe And his friends believe that,
although lac died in the attempt,
the japanese completed the work TO
assure such success. He discovered
Il species Of monkey which could
be successfully inuoculatcd with the
fever and was preparing to sail for
New York with cultures Of what he
believed to be the germ itself when
he was stricken.
Authority on Fever
DIR. Noguchi was acknowledged to
he the foremost authority On yellow
fever in the world. 1t was through
his efforts that the disease was
driven from the American con
tincnts when in 1918 he headed the
Rockefeller expedition in its cam
paign against the plague in EcuQ-
dor.
Prior to that outbreak it had
been discovered that the disease
was carried by the mosquito Stcgo-
myia, but it was in Ecuador that
Ncguchi worked out a method Of
injecting guinea pigs and other ami
ma1s with the fever for test pur-
poses and so succeeded in isoIating
he germ itself,
His discovery. which paved the
way for the eradication of the few
cr from the Americas, left the Gold
Coast Of Africa as the only region
where the disease was actively eX-
tant. Noguchi, studying the Afri-
can plague from New York, reached
the conclusion that there was a sub
tie but Fundamental distinction be
tween the African and American
varieties. 1t was to settle this
point that he went to Accra.
