IT'r—>•*’" federal governments in \ interetate commerce, plans prepared by Dr. L. K Northrup, state veterinarian, to make Indiana self-sustaining in the production of hogs, will be put into execution at once. Stated briefly the plan is one that would make southern Indiana a breeding place for feeders which on reaching a HXV-pound weight would be sold to northern Indiana farmers, there fattened and sent to

market.

The proposal of the state veterinarian has been received cordially by live stock men - farmers, bankers and others interested in the permanent prosperity of the state, agriculturally.

their practices and buy of their fellowHoosiers. The arrangement would enable the buyer to know’ just what strain of hogs he is buying, and thus would work to the increaaer popularity of

pure breeds. Dr. Northrup say a Know What They Are Getting. "The Indiana feeders who have been

buying hogs from other states,’* Dr. Northrup says, ‘'will be the first to appreciate the advantages of a system that will make it possible for them to know just what they are getting for their money. They ipay know, too. that there Is no Way they can obtain such a positive guaranty of quality breeding as afforded by the Indiana regulations. Southern Indiana farmers are advantageously situated to supplv the state market with feeders, and when a business relationship has been established between the two sections of the state, the entire state will reflect the increased prosperity due to the produc-

tion of more and better hogs.”

STEEL PRODUCTION PASSES'

NEW YORK. August 18.—Steel pro-

duction Is reported to begainlng and th* *0 per cent, of TapacJty level In some instances has been passed. In the Pittsburg district, for Instance, the level is reported at 86 per cent. The uncertainty of the labor situation and the equally uncertain matter of production costs have combined to force sellers of steel products into a more conservative stand and buyers are reporting more difficulty in book-

ing orders for future supplies. In the pig iron market, the situation

is uniformly favorable and the price

scale has been strengthened again

When surplus Iron is available for prompt shipment sellers ask advanced levels. The export sales of pig iron

have been estimated around 50,006 tons

Larger tonnages are reported here in the way of inquiries from foreign Interests and the entire export trade in iron and steel products Is regarded as

satisfactory'-

From the point of view of sales, the copper market here is quiet. Most of the activity centers around resale lots which are offered In small tonnages bv speculators at material concessions from the established prices of Tending sellers. On resales, the level generally is 21ttc to 22c a pound. This range compares with 23c to 23%c quoted by

There has always been an Increase in the consumption of sweets, and statistics show that this has been especially noticeable during the past few yeara In spits of wartime curtailment there was an increase of 80 per, cent, in the per capita consumption of caijdy from 1918 to 1918, There are many reasons for this.
