SOUTH SIDERS ENDORSE CITY IMPROVEMENTS Construction of West Side Boulevard and South Side Bridge is Favored. Hearty approval of the west side boulevard, the south side bridge, and other Improvements for the near future, was registered at the meeting of the South Side Improvement association Tuesday evening. Report of the committee that attended the board of works meeting Monday morning was made by Henry Bode. He summed up the efforts which had been made In favor of the projects, and described to the association the courts of the proposed boulevard. - The committee waongratulated by the president on its work and a motion was passed that it be the sense of the meeting that the contemplated Improvements be heartily endorsed. . ' Approve Commission Government A letter written to Senator McConaha and the county's two state representatives was read by William Bartel, in which it was stated that the association favored placing all municipal utilities under municipal direct control, instead of under the public service commission. The commission form of government was also approved as a possibility and the senator was asked to use his Influence to keep the threemile road law, or a law as similar to It as possible. The street car line for the southeast part of the city, which has been rumored as another possible improvement, was discussed and the association moved to support the southeast-

enders in their efforts for such a line. It was also moved that the association take an active part in the meeting of the Commercial club Monday evening. Milton, Ind.

Country Gains 5 Million Porkers in 1918 Department of Agriculture Advises Conservative Policy in Production Until Relative Shortage and High Price of Feed are Overcome.

There are 75,587,000 hogs In the United States, according to recent estimates of the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Of this number 34,776,000

are found in the six Corn Belt States of Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri,

Example of County Agents' Work. An example of the county agents' work to increase pork production is shown in 17 counties of Southern Alabama. Not a single carload of hogs was shipped to market from these counties during 1912-1913. This was

THE HOG SITUATION . A conservative policy with respect to Increasing the number of swine until the relative shortage and high price of feed are overcome is the recommendation of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, recently made In a statement on American agricultural production in 1919. In summarizing the hog situation the Department reports that the number of swine fell from 65,620,000, the high point In 1911, to 58.933,000, the low point in 1914;.. and under the stimulus of war demand and a record corn crop in 1917 the number increased to 70,978,000 on January 1, 1918. Reports indicate that the number on farms on January 1, 1919, was 75,587,000, or an increase of 6.5 percent. The number of swine per capita of population in 1911 was 0.679 of one animal. On the same basis there should be 72,474,000 on farms in 1919. Exports of pork and pork products fell from 1,678,000,000 pounds In the fiscal year 1899 to 707,000,000 in 1910, and rose to 1,692,000,000 In 1918. Although definite data are lacking, reports indicate a considerable reduction in the number of swine in Europe. A representative of the Food Administration reports a reduction of 25 percent - in the United Kingdom, 12 percent in Italy, and 49 percent In France. However, In estimating probable demand in Europe for American pork products certain factors must be borne in mind; namely, (1) large stocks now on hand in the United States, and (2) the rapidity with which the number of swine can be increased in Europe. 'Another factor of importance is the relatively large proportion of lard in the exports of this- country, amounting to about 5 percent of all pork products exported in the 5-year period from 1910 to 1914, and about 200 percent more than the total quantity of beef exported. Exports of lard amounted to 481,000,000 pounds in 1914, 476,000,000 pounds in 1915, 427,000,000 pounds In 1916, 445,000,000 pounds in 1917, and 392,000,000 pounds in 1918. All reports emphasize the shortage of fats and oils in Europe at the present time. No shipments to Germany and Austria have been included in the exports of lard from the United States since 1914. However, prior to the war our second largest customer, taking 146,000,000 pounds in 1914, or about SO percent of our total lard exports The foreign demand for lard is likely to be heavy during the present year. ? .

GOVERNOR'S MANSION PROJECT TO PASS

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 5. Another strategic retirement has been affected by the majority of the general assembly, which withdrew Its opposition to th.e governor's mansion project and will f consent to the passage of the Jones bill In the form In which It left the house of representatives. This , will represent the second positive accomplishment of the session thus far, the first completed being the bill preparing the way for an Inquiry Into crime conditions in Cleveland, which was signed by Governor James M. Cox. " " Turning to what seemed to be its favorite task, that of memorializing congress, the. debate, received a joint resolution by Senator Frank E. Whittemore, majority leader,, to ask United States Senators Harding and Pomerene, to support the pending suffrage amendment. - X The house, after debate, rejected the senate joint resolution by Kryder. of Hancock, to permit ' the members to collect three cents a mile,' but kept the resolution alive by recording a motion by Representative H. L. Federman. of Hamilton, for a reconsideration. The house also witnessed its first tilt on the floor in which personalties -came into the. equation. On a, minor school-relief measure Representative John E. Barnes of Montgomery county, objected, . and Representative Gorrell, of " Carroll, asked: , "Mr. Speaker, isn't there some way to stop this calliope?"' Barnes became angry and retorted: "I do not get the point of the gentleman's remarks. When he is on the floor I do him the courtesy of listening. I represent Montgomery county. I do not try to represent his county." Gavel Ends Argument. "And I don't want him to try it."! retorted Gorrell, as the gavel banged. The house received another small flood of bills, among which were measures for creation of a teachers' bureau in the office of the state superintendent of public instruction, the plan being a continuation of work accomplished by the Ohio defense council, old age pensions for employes of state Institutions receiving small pay, the labor employment agency bill, defeated in former sessions, and memorial projects.

Pershing. Pays Tribute . to Eddie Rickenbacker NEW YORK, Feb. 6. Qf all the tributes paid last night to Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker, at a dinner given here in honor of "America's ace of aces," undoubtedly that most cherished by the man who downed twentysix German planes was a message from Gen. Pershing, read by Secretary of War Baker. ? "The history of the ' American air service oh the western front is as remarkable for its sound and successful development of aviation tactics as for its spirit of unselfish devotion , and dare-devil gallantry, -which . is unsurpassed by anything that great war has produced," said Gen. Pershing's message. "Capt Rickenbacker has written some of Its brightest pages and on behalf of the American Expeditionary Forces, I am proud to bear witness to Our admiration for the atr service and for him."- , . No less was the praise of William Howard Taft, contained in the following message read at the dinner: "As a private citizen I tender my sincere congratulations on the opportunity you have had greatly to serve your country and In the glorious way in which you have improved that opportunity and earned the gratitude of all." - - ,. t , , : , . -. ; -

New Process Removes Superfluous Hair Roots !

Indiana and Ohio, while 24,082,000 porkers are in the fifteen Southern States, and the remainder are distributed over the other 27 States of the Union.: Under present conditions the South ranks second only to the Corn Belt as the leading pork producing Bectlon of the country. The-remarkable fact about the growth of the hog business in the cotton States, as well as In many other sections of the country where the development has been rapid during the last five years, Is that the progress has been the direct result of the untiring efforts of county agents to popularize pork production. Last year at least 2,435 counties bad the service of an agricultural agent and In every locality where conditions were favorable for hog raising, these agents devoted their efforts to increasing the hog population to meet the increased demand for meat and fats brought about by the war.

before the county agent got in his work. During the year ending April 1. 1918, these 17 counties marketed 2,352 carloads of hogs. County agents in Mississippi have been getting results in their work to enlarge the swine industry. In 1914 this State exported 7,244 hogs while in 1917 it sent 88,730 fat porkers to the market, an increase of 1,224 percent. An increase of corn production was necessary to develop the hog supply and the county agents have been boosting this source of fattening feed. In 1909 North Carolina raised 34,000,000 bushels of corn, while in 1918 it harvested 64,365.000 bushels, which enabled this State to fatten 1,599,000 hogs. In Georgia approximately 29,475,000 bushels more corn were produced in 1918 than in 1909. Other Southern States have made similar records In Increasing corn and pork yields.
