By DR. FRANK M. Si RFACE. WASHINGTON, July I—During the war the United States was called upon for an enormous Increase in Its export* oi pork products, and In 1917 and 191 b both the food administration and the department of agriculture endeavored to secure an increase in pork production The success In tills direction is indicated by the following estimates of tha number of hogs in the United States on J an. 1 of each year: Pet. Gain Jan. 1. Hogs. Over 1914. 1914........ 58,033,'00 1915 61,618000 9.6 1916 67,760,000 15.0 1917 67,503,000 11 5 191S 70,978,000 20.4 1919 75 584,000 28.3 1920 72,000,000 23.7 Our total annual consumption of all pork is between 9,000,0b>>,000 and 11.000,000,009 pounds, or, roughly, 100 pound: per capita. Exports of pork in 1918 and 1919 were approximately four times what they were in 1914. Production of pork products in these two yenrs was between 20 and 25 per cent greater than before the war. Consumption was slightly lower in the last three years, due, la part, to high prices and heavy foreign demand. DECREASE LARGE SINCE 1 IKST OF YEAR. Since the beginning of 1920 there has been a big decrease in exports of pork. I’or the first four months of this year exports are only about half ns large as a year ago. Compared with last year the production of pork from January to the end of April shows a decrease of 10 per cent. Domestic consumption has Increased 8 per cent and stocks in storage nave increased over 60 per cent more thuu in the same period last year. The actual stocks in storage on May 1 this year are, however, practically the same as last year. The decreased demand for pork products abroad has produced a severe reaction in the price of hogs in this country, which in turn is affecting production in this country. During 1918 and the early part of 1919 the price of hogs was stabilized by the food administration's control of foreign purchases, the price being maintained at about $17.50 a hundred pounds. After control was removed in March, 1919, the price increased until it reached a high point of about $23.60 at Chicago in July. Since then the price has declined to between $12@15 a hundred in 1920. On June 1 the average price at Chicago, as reported by the bureau of crop estimates, was $14.55. PRICE REC EDES AS FEED RISES. This severe decline in price accompanied by Increase in the cost of feeds has naturally resulted in a decrease in the number cf hogs. According to calculation ly the bureau of crop estimates the number of hogs on farms on May 1, 1920, was about 0 per cent less than a year ago. The number of brood sows on April 1, 1920. is about 10 per cent less tnun a year ago and is the lowest since 1914. Over a period of years there is a pretty close relation between the number of brood sows on April 1 and the total number of hogs in the country on the following January. The average for the last six years is 7.4 hogs to each brood sow. Applying this proportion to the present number of brood sows gives a forecase of approximately 60 500,000 hogs next January. This would be a decrease of nearly 6,500,000 below the number last January. If this stage is reached it will mean that we will be practically at the prewar. level of production and prices of hogs may be expected to fluctuate with the price of corn and other foods.— Copyright, 1920.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1920.

RAINS OVER BELT, GRAINS DECLINE Liberal Receipts and Crop Reports Help Bears. (By Thomson & McKinnnon.) Further rains over the corn belt and estimates of liberal receipts precipitated considerable pressure upon the grain market. The rally in prices from the low point was a result of overconfidence In anticipation of lower prices. It was helped also by a little improvement in demand for current receipts. With the weather over the major portion of the belt favorable, and with private crop experts Issuing reports showing an average condition and an Increase in th eacreage, the market should be susceptible to a continuation of the present movement from the country. No Individuality has been displayed in the oats market, prices taking their cuo from corn. The early cash market was neglected, and consequently lower, but re-entrance of shippers brought aobut a recovery in prices. It is possible that new* crop deliveries may have the appearance of weakness on any further decline In corn, but as this time is the critical period of the oats crop and reports show lowering of condition during last month, it seems inadvisable to accept the Idea of lower prices.

Thirteen nurses of the Deaconess hospital training school today notified the hospital authorities that they refused to complete their training at that hospital and would leave the Institution next Monday. The nurses have agreed to enter the training school at the City hospital about Aug. 1. According to Miss Vivia B. Snearly, one of the nurses, conditions at the hospital have become unbearable. The list of nurses who are leaving the hospital include: Vivia B. Snearly, Florence D. Scudder, Bessie Marsh, Aline Mullinlx, Vera Sanford, Kathleen Coulter, Alma Weare, Grace Sutton, Rena Percell, Loretta B. Rutz, Dana Gentry, Mary Selch and Gladys Miller. Miss Snear'y said that the food was Insufficient, improperly cooked and served, dishes dirty and broken; bed linen of night nurses changed but once in thirty days; the hours of the training tiurses too long, the strain resulting in impoverished physical conditions; the treatment of Miss Rost, as head of the nurses, characterized as “dogmatic” and impolite. A decision had been reached to leave the hospital today, Miss Knearly said, but the girls changed their minds and decided that it was only fair to the patients to give the hospital officials more time to fill their places. Miss Snearly and Miss Scudder complained of the management of the hospital and told of alleged deplorable conditions In Insufficient supplies for the hospital. The training nurses, after making application at the City hospital, were told that they were not in proper physical condition to begin their duties there, but that it would be necessary to recuperate for at least a month. This physical condition, Miss Snearly i said, was largely due to overwork and I lack of sufficient nourishment apd recreation at the Deaconess hospital. Rev. Vitz declared that "conditions at I the hospital at the present time had ! never been better,” and denied that the nurses had ground for complaint. He admitted that he had discussed the situation with Miss Snearly today, and said he hid tried to adjust matters satisfactorily. “It remains to be seen whether or not lh • nurses will leave next Monday,” he said.
