In lino with tbe gamrral plan of fno- nervation formulated by the U.

According to reports of tbo U. R. Depart m«-nt of Agri culture, there eras an Increase In cattle of 10.2SS.000 head and IX441.000 hogs, these figure* com­ piled to January 1 last. In the same tieriod then» was a decrease of 8li».«ss) bead of sheep, but Indications are this decrease will show an Increase follow­ ing the latest report*. Since January 1 unofficial Informa­ tion Indicates an Increase In hogs of not lea* than eight per cent, and not more thnn fifteen per cent, compared with one year ago. with an Increase In average weight Following the request of the Food Administration for Increase In hog production for the fall of 1918 and the spring of 191» the Increase may yield not leas than LfiOO.OOO.lXX) pounds more of pork products than were available last year. Without thia In­ crease the shipping program arranged by Mr. Hoover regarding animal food product* would have been Impossible. The dressed hog products during the three months ending September 30. 1017. amounted to 90X17X000 pounds, while for the same months of 1918 the production was 1,277,580.000 pounds an Increase of over 874.000,000 pounds for the quarter. During the same period In 1017 In- •pected slaughter record* of dressed beef showed 1.283.000.000 pounds as against 1,484.0*1.000 pounds for the three month period ending September 1, thia year. We mu*t Increase our meat sblp^ menta, especially our pork products, to meet the added demands of the mil­ lions liberated from tierman oppres­ sion And at the same time we must look forward to tbs rehabilitation ef the European meat herds. Th* policy which guided our meat program In the past year has been fully Justified, for only the heavy pork production which It has brought about will enable u* even partly to satisfy the Increased demands on us for the coming year. There will be a world ahortage In fata and It is to the United State* that Eu­ rope must look to supply Its deficien­ cy. At th* aam* time there will con­ tinue to be heavy demands for beef. Owing to the limited refrigerator ship­ ping capacity European Imports of beef for some time will be limited. The United 8 tn tea, Australia and Argentine will be able to maintain a supply that will keep all available freeser vesoele operating at capacity.
