INCREASE IN SWINE
Meat Problem Is Most Important Problem of War.
FOOD ESSENIIAL FOR ARMIES
Breedln0    Animala    Mutt   Reproduce Thennselves 8o Offspring Will  Be Available for Slaughter—Mar- \ ket Qrain  on  Hoof.
(Prepared by the United fltates Depart¬ ment of Asrrlculture.)
To raise more hogs, to get more meat to help win the war. Is one of the important food problems of the coun¬ try now. To supply this need, bog breeding must be increased materially thronghout the conntry, federal offi¬ cials declare, and in certain states an Increase of 2S to SO per cent In the number of bogs on farms Is recom¬ mended by tbe United States depart¬ ment of agrlcnitnrn.
The situation Is of great Importance. We must bave plenty of meat for onr armies and tbe armies of tbe allies In the field, and snfflcient meat for our civilian population and the civiltan population of the allies at home.'
To have this meat, breeding animals must reproduce themselves, so the off¬ spring will be available for slaughter In the future.
Hogs cnn be Increased quicker than any other kind of live stock.
Therefore a Inrger number of sows must be bred now, than In recent years.
Abundance of   Feed Crops.
In addition to the fnct,tbnt there Is an Imperative demnnd for more meat ns a war nieusuro. It should bo taken Into consideration tbnt we now bave nn abundance of feed crops—corn, oats und hurley—with which to pro¬ duce this necessnry increase In the number of bogs.   The demand for meat
\t certnin and It will be profltaMs to tbe farmer to msrket some of this heavy grain rapply on the hoof.
The Increase in tbe number of hogs for various states, as recommended hy I the  depsrtment.  Is ss follows:    Mls- sonrl, .'iO per cent.; AInbsmn,!»; Iowa,' 2f>;  Kansas, 2.5; Indians,  20; Bllnols, i 20;   Mississippi,    20;   Arkansas,   20 ;j South   Carolina,   1.1;   Ohio,   IS;   Keff-1 tncky,  15;  Tennessee,   1.%;   Maryland, I 10;  North Carolina, 10; Michigan, 10 ;| Nebraska,  10;   West  Virginia, Tt, and Georgia, 5.   The Increase needed for \ tbe entire conntry la T.5 per cent, and! Is covered by the above schedule.   Oth-1 er   states  than   those   named   should breed no fewer sows thun Inst yenr.     I
The result of these Inrresses will be to  provide sufllclent animals to make tbe ment thnt  Is nbsolutely essentid to tbe feeding of our nrmles. Pork Easy to Transport.
Pork can be transported more rend- lly and economically to troops In tbe field than cnn any other meat. Great supplies of bncon must go to tbe boys In khaki at the front. Unless now a larger number of sows are bred, tbe amount of meat we will require next year will not be available.
The estimated number of hous Is 4.- 000,000 less than It was a year ago In this conntry; and tn tbe face of this we need more hogs than ever before. How can we get them? By breeding sows at once.
The exportation of pork products hns increased since the war began and will continue to Incrense during the length of the wnr. The foreign coun¬ tries nre devoting their farming en¬ ergies to food nnd feed rather thnn live stock production, but they must have meat and tbey must get a large part of this supply from us. Price Is Doubled. During the lust three months tbe price of hogs In the United Stntes hns been, on the nvernge, more than twice ns much ns tbe average price for the live yeurs from 1011 to 1910. In view of tho large ..crops of feedstuffs In sight, however, it believed tbnt farm* ers will see tbe wisdoia of taking ev¬ ery reasonable step to Increase the supply of hogs and hog products.
