Washington. — American dressed- meat production, including lard, amounted in 1918 to 20,129,800,000 pounds—a quantity never before ap- proached in magnitude by the live stock industry of this or any other country, The corresponding figure for 1917 was 16,317,300,000 pounds. Three-fourths of the enormous in- crease was in pork and one-fourth was in beef. The meat surplus in 1918 was 80 great that extra export demands made little impression on it, although 1018 ex- port shipments of meat and lard nearly doubled the 1917 figure—rising from slightly less than 1,750,000,000 pounds to slightly more than 3,000,000,000 pounds—and these figures do not in- clude shipments to American military forces abroad. The aggregate 1917 consumption of dressed meat and lard in the United States was approximately 14,500,000,- 000 pounds. This means, after allow- ing for increase in population an addi- tion of 23 pounds for every man, wom- an and child in the country—despite the food-conservation campaign which in 1917 caused consumption to decline considerably. Farmer Was Big Factor. “While the people, as a whole, through their abstinence averted thé immediate crisis, it was the farmer who was the really big factor in the ultimate situation,” says the bureau of animal industry, United States depart- ment of agriculture. “The producer, of course, was expected to do his part, but he did it with such powerful effect that in a single year the meat shortage was turned into a pronounced surplus. Thus in 1918 there was not only meat enough to supply all foreign demands compatible with the restricted shipping facilities, but a greatly enlarged quan- tity was available for the home con- sumption. “To be sure, it cost the farmer more, much more, to feed his animals and get them to market. Likewise, all other steps from producer to consumer, be- came more costly, hence the high prices, But the unprecedented prosper- ity of the people, as a whole, enabled them to afford the increased cost. In fact, laboring people probably con- sumed more meat during the last: year than in prewar times. “The total number of cattle atnuigti tered in 1918 is estimated at 15,750,400, as against 13,723,900 in 1917. Their average weights were practically the same for both years, and the beef pro- duced from them was 6,686,000,000 pounds in 1917 and 7,641,000,000 pounds in 1918, This was a remarkable achievement, as it hardly would have been credited that beef growers could “increfse their production a million pounds in one year. Results Called Stupendous. “The hog matures quickly, therefore a much more rapid increase would be looked for than was the case with cat- tle. Even so, the results for 1918 can be described only as stupendous, 'The hogs marketed in 1918 numbered 69,- 854,700, as against 57,483,800 in 1917. Furthermore, the average weight was nine and a half pounds more per, hog in 1918; Thus when the animals. are turned into pork and lard we have a total production of pounds in 1918, as against 8,478,289,- 000 pounds in 16 an increase of 2, 747,355,000 pounds, or 82.4 per cent, nearly one-third.” Striking in ses in exports also are shown by the bureau. Beef shipments abroad in 1918 were 94 per cent more than in 1917—the chief 1918 items be- ing 514,000,000 pounds of fresh beef and 141,000,000 pounds of canned beef, Exports of pork and lard in 1918 amounted to 2,279,287,030—which was 71.7 per cent more than the quantity sent abroad in 1917, The bureau shows that in the aggre- gate ‘more meat by far is eaten in the United States than in any other coun- try -in the. world—although some sparsely settled countries raising much meat have g larger per capita consump- tion. It also says that there is room in the United States for a great expan- sion in the usé ‘of mutton and lamb. aoe Lh ea ARMY TRUCKS TO BUILD ROAD War Department Turns Over to Agri- cultural Department 20,000 for Use of States.

Townley made at Glencoe, St. Paul and Stillwater, before the court or- dered a recess at 6 p. m. The prose- cutor throughout his speech, declared that Townley in ‘his speeches never Said a word about the real causes of the war—what Germany had done to the United States, but sought to give the impression that big business was responsible and that the cause came not from Germany or from Europe but was to be found at home. “The same. doctrine that Townley was talking in his speeches, the same doctrine that Gilbert was talking in his speeches—that doctrine was writ- ten into this pamphlet and they sent them broadcast over the state of Min- nesota,” said Nicholas. “There was something said about Townley being away at the time the pamphlet was gotten out. Townley was in this, Gilbert was in this and they. know how much money they, were making out of it.” League is Discussed. Nicholas urged the jurors not to “be deceived by statements from counsel on the other side that the war is over.” “We are not through with our trou- ‘bles. Bolshevism is sweeping Europe and attempting to sweep the world. We are having trouble with Mexico and ‘have trouble with Japan. Then the prosecuting attorney dis- cussed the activitties of Nonpartisan leaguers in German communities and spoke for some time on the problem of the men’ and women of German descent who tried ‘to be loyal to the land ‘of his adoption. “Some of you had boys who thought about going to war. While these boys were considering that problem perchance they went to a Nonpartisan league meeting and Townley tells them that this isa rich man’s war and he gives them one of these. pam- phlets.. “What.was the effect of the lan- guage on the mind of that boy? When you answered that question you have answered ‘the question of whether the law. was violated as to the dis couragement ‘of enlistments: and J {ite I know what your verdict will e” The case went to the. jury at 9:43 pm., ) Much of Judge Dean's: chargq related. ta the question. of conspiracy and the fact that the guilt of one de- dendant*in a conspiracy action is con- sidered the guilt of both’ defendants. war viEiymieorss ioe st ALEXIUS HOSPITAL, Entered; July (9.—P.~ J...
