MEAT PnSOiISERS DID FULL DUTY Increase in American Hogs Will Help to Meet World Fat Shortage. FARMERS SAVE SITUATION. Government Justified In Stimulation of Pork Production— Sevenfold Increase Over Pre- War Exports. Through Increased production nnd conservation we will he 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, tlie Jiepartinent of Agriculture nnd 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 he 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 a very large part of the fat deficiency of the world. In beef there must he a shortage in Eu rope, due largi ly to limited refrigera tor ship capacity. All freezer ships available, however, wiil be filled by America, Argentine and Australia. The contribution made by the pro ducers of this country to the war pro gram as applying particularly to ani mal food products is illustrated by the following: Reports compiled by the U. S. De partment of Agriculture Indicate an increase in cattle of 10,238,000 head and 12,441,000 hogs. These figures were compiled to January 1 last. In this period there wgs a decrease in sheep of 819,000 head. The indica tions are that this decrease will show an Increase, according •to recent re port s. Since January 1 unofficial Informa tion Indicates an increase in hogs of not less than 8 per cent, and not more than 13 per cent, as compared with one year ago, with an Increase in the average weight. Following the request of the D. S. Food Administration for an incroaso In hog production for marketing in the fall of 1018 and the spring of 1019 the increase may yield not less than 1,600,- 000,000 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 been Impossible. The dressed hog products during the three months ending September 30, 11*17, amounted to 903,172,000 pounds, while for the corresponding months of 1918 the dressed hog products totaled 1,277,589,000, an increase of over 374,- 000,000 pounds for the quarter. During the same period for 1917 the records of inspected slaughter of dressed beef showed 1,263,000,000 pounds as against 1,454,000,000 pounds for the three month period ending September 1, this year.
