STEADIER HOG MARKETS PLANNED Hog Producers and Packers Confer With Representatives of the Focd Administration and Agricultural Department and Adopt New Plan of Regulation.

In accordance with the policy of tin1 Food Adrainistnitlon'Sinoe Its foundation to consult representative men In the agricultural Industry on occasions of Importance to special branches of the Industry, on October -1 there wus convened In Washington a meeting of. the 4ave Stock Subcommittee of the Agricultural Advisory Hoard and the special member representing the swine Industry to consider the situation in the ho; market The conference lasted for three days, and during this time met with the executive committee of the titty packing linns participating In foreign orders for pork products and with the members of the Food Aduiluiatratlon directing foreign pork purchases. The conclusions of the conference were ns follows:

The entire marketing situation has 84) changed since the September Joint conference as to necessitate an en tin alteration In the plans of price stabilization. The current peace talk ha alarmed the holders of corn, and there ha been a price decline of from Si cents to 40 cents per bushel. The fact that the accumulations of low priced torn In the Argentine and South Africa would, upon the advent of peace and liberated shipping, become available to the European market has created a great deal of apprehension on the part of corn holder. This decline has spread fear among swine grower that a similar reduction In the prices of hogs would naturally follow. Moreover, the lower range of corn prices would, if Incorporated in a 13-to-l ratio, obviously result in a continuously falling price for live hogs. In view of these changed conditions many

swine producers anticipated lower . prices and as a result rushed their j

hogs to market in large numbers, and this overshipment has added to and aggravated the decline. The Information of the Department of Agriculture indicates that the supply of hogs has increased about 8 per cent, while the highest unofficial estimate does not exceed 15 per cent, increased production over last year. On the other hand, the arrival of hojra during the last three weeks in the seren great markets has been 27 per cent more than last year, during the corresponding period, demonstrating the unusually heavy marketing of the available pupply. In the face of the excessive receipts some packers have not maintained the price agreed last month. On the oijier hand, many of the packers have paid over the price offered to them in an endeavor to maintain the agreed price. The result in any event has been a failure to maintain the October price basis determined upon at the September conference and undertaken by the packers Another factor contributing to the brenk In prices during the mouth has been the Influenza epidemic; it has sharply curtailed consumption of pork products and temporarily decreased the labor staff of the packers about 25 per cent The exports of 130,000,000 pound of pork products for October compared with about 52,000.000 pounds In October a year ago, aad the export orders placeable by the Food Administration for November, amount to 70,000,(x0 pounds as contrasted with the lesser exports of P.000,0V) for November. 1917. The Increased demands of the allies are continuing, and are in themselves proof of the necessity for the large production for which the Food Administration asked. The Increase In export demands appear to be amply sufficient to take up the Increase In hog production, but unfavorable market conditions existing in October afford no fair index of the aggregate supply and demand. It must be evident that the enormous shortage in fats In the Central Empires aad neutral countries would immediately upop peace result in additional demands for pork products which, on top of the heavy shipments to the Allies, would tend materially to Increase the American exports, inasmuch as no considerable reservoir of supplies exists outside of the United States. It seems probable that the present prospective supplies would be inadequate to meet this world demand with the return to peace. So far as it is possible to Interpret this fact, it appears that there should be even a stronger demand for pork products after the war, and therefore any alarm of hog producers as to the effect of peace Is unwarranted by the outlook. La the light of these circumstance it la the conclusion ol the conference that attempts to hold the price of hogs to the price of corn may work out to the disadvantage of pork producers. It In the conclusion that any interpretation of the fonrnila xliould be a broad gauged policy applied over a long period. It is the opinion of the conference that in substitution of the previous plans of stabilization the Live Stock Subcommittee of the Agricultural Advisory Board, together with the specially invited swine representatives, should accept the. Invitation of the Food Administration to Join with the Administration and the packer in determining the prices at which controlled export orders are to be placed. This will be regularly done. The influence of these orders will be directed to the maintenance of the common object namely, the stabilization of the price of live hogs so as to secure as tr ,a U U polbhi fair mturu to the

producer and the Insurance of an adequate future supply. These foreign orders are placed uiHn the basis of cost of hogs to tinpackers. As the result of Ion negotiations between this body and the Packers' Committee, representing the 45 to "0 packers participating In foreign orders, together with the Allied buyers, all under the Chairmanship of the Food Administration, the following undertaking has been given by the packers : In view of the undertakings on the part of the Food Administration with regard to the co-ordinated purchases of pork products, covered In the attached, it Is agreed that the packers participating "In these orders w ill undertake not to purchase hogs for less than the following agreed rainimums for the month of November, that Is a dally minimum of $17.50 per hundred pound on average of packers droves, excluding throw-outs. "Throw-outs" to be defined as pigs under 1,T0 pounds, tags, boars, thin sows and skips. Further that uo hogs of any kind shall be bought except throwouts, at less than $10.50 per hundred founds. The average of packers' droves to be construed as the average of the total sales in the market of ail hogs for a given day. All the above to be based on Chicago. We agree' that a committee shall ! appointed by the Food Administration to check the daily operations lu th various markets with a view to supervision and demonstration of the carryiliac out of the above. The ability of the packers to carry out this arrangement will depend on there being a normal marketing of hugs bused upon the proportionate Increase over the receipts of last year. The increase in production appears to be a maximum of about 15 per cent and we can handle such an increase. If the producers of hogs should, as they have in the past few weeks, prematurely matktt hogs in such increasing numbers over the above it is entirely beyond the ability of the packers to maintain these mlnlinums, and therefore we must have the co-operation of the producer himself to maintain thebe results. It is a physical impossibility for the capacity of th packing houses to handle a similar over-flood of hogs and to find a market for the output The packers are anxious to co-operate with the producers in maintaining a stabilization of price and to see that producers receive a fair price for their products. (Signed) TII0S. E. WILSON, Chairman Packers Committee. The plan embodied above was adopted by the conference. Hie Food Administrator has appointed a committee, comprising Mr. Thomas E. Wilson, chairman of the Packers' Committee; Mr. Everett Brown, president of the Chicago Livestock Exchange; Major Iloy of the Food Administration, Mr. Louis D. Hall of the Bureau of Markets, to undertake the supervision of the execution of the plan in the various markets. Commission men are asked to co-operate in carrying out the plan embodied In the packers' agreement It must be evident that offers by commission men to M'll hogs below the minimum established above Is not fair, either to the producer or the participating packers. Mr. Brown has undertaken on behalf of the commission men In the United States that they will loyally support the plan. It Is believed by the conference that this new plan, based as it Is upon a positive minimum basis, will bring better results to the producer than average prices for the month. It does not limit top prices and should narrow the margins necessary to country buyers In more variable markets. It Is believed that the plan should work out close to $18 average. Swine producers of the country will contribu4e to their own Interest by not Hooding the market, for it must be evident that if an excessive over percentage of bogs la marketed .in any oue month price stabilization and control cannot succeed, and It is certain that producers themselves can contribute materially to the efforts of the conferences If they will do their marketing in as normal a way as possible. The whole situation as existing at present demands a frank and explicit assurance from the conferees represented namely, that every possible effort will b made to maintain a live hog price commensurate with swine prxluction costs and reasonable selllog values In execution of the declared policy of the Food Administration to use every agency in Its control to secure Justice to the farmer. The stabilization methods adopted for November represent the best efforts of the conference, concurred In by the Food Administration and the

Livestock Subcommittee of the Agricultural Advisory Hoard, together with special swine members and the representatives of the packers, to improve the present unsatisfactory situation, which has unfortunately resulted because of the Injection of uncontrollable factors. We ask the producer to co-operate with us In a most difficult task. The members of the Conference were : Froducers II. C. Stuart. Elk Garden, Vs., Chairman Agricultural Advisory Board ; W. M.

THE WESTERN FRONT AT HOKE Earn jind give. For n year the young people of America have been coached In thrift. Instead of the old problem in the arithmetic book, "If Mary's mother gave her three apples. .lane gave her two, and she ate one, how many would she have?" the third grade girl Is now sent to the blackboard to solve. "How many Thrift stamps at 2.r cents apiece will Mary own at the end of 12 months if she saves 10 cents a week?" The girl In the grade above her Is learning in her arithmetic lesson how many Thrift stamps it takes to buy the yarn for o0 helmets for the soldiers In France. Still farther on the eighth grader Is told to tig lire in terms of War Savings stamps how much it costs to supply a regiment of Uncle Sam's tuen with shelter tents. And now the Earn and Give club of the younger girls of the Young Women's Christian association is organized to turn those Thrift lessons into giving. The children of America have been turning In pennies aud nlckles mid pasting n green .stamp on their Thrift curd. The Earn and Give club can now use some of those cards and War Savings stamps lu their campaign among the younger people for the united war fund. This fall when the war council of the Y. W. C. A. made plans for the 1'JIS war drive, it Included In its program the rule that no young girls under eighteen can do any soliciting, on the streets or otherwise. They can give, but they can only give by earning. Consequently in order to co-ordinate the efforts of the girls In nil the districts over the country, the Kara and Give club Is enrolling members and has given out an estimate of $." apiece to be earned for the war fund campaign by the American girls who fctill count their age In 'teens. Five dollars apiece from the younger girls of the country will mean that the nation as a wliole will Oil its charitable organizations' war chest. Some high school girl In New York city Is going to earn her $5 by shining her own shoes instead of stoppln- at the Greek stand on her way to school and by making her own sandwiches for her noon lunch. Out In lowu the girl who has been spending 15 cents plus war tax for a movie three nights a week is going to draw a line through tjie movie habit except when there Is no especially good bill. More than, one girl plans to clean all her own gloves thls winter and to salvage all the pa-

ous ways lu the community to help the war that she bad uever dreamed of. She will see that all the fruit pits and stones that can be saved from her own dining table and from those of her neighbors, are dropped into the little red barrel at the corner, in order that the carbon which the seeds contain can be used In making charcoal for the American soldiers' gas masks. She will save all the tin foil that she sees for the Red Cross. She will help collect clothing for the French and P.elgiiim orphans and perhaps send them some of her own. School girls in India, children from squalid, dingy homes, with absolutely no spending money, crave last year to Belgian and Armenian relief when

they themselves were not getting j enough to eat. They gave up their" ; meat once a week for the P.elgians. j though they only had It twice a we?: ! themselves, and for the Armenians j they set aside the handful of fresh j grain that otherwise each girl would! have ground In her own little stone ' mill. Roth contributions, from all the j girls lu one missionary's school, j

amounted only to $ö a month. "Put It was a tremendous sacrifice." their teacher writes, "although n joyous one. It actually meant less bread each day, and once a week a meal of dry bread and water. This was done by So girls from the meanest homes iu the world children between the ages of five and fifteen." Four hundred thousand girls In 47 states Jia.' become Patriotic Leaguers since America declared war. If as many school girls and working girls from all classes pledge to earn anl give, the united war fund campaigners will have $2,000,000 of their $170..r.00,-000.
