PACHB TWO
HEAT INCREASED BY
TWO MILLION TONS
When Farmers Tried to Increase
the Production in
t 1913 Crisis
DEPARTMENT TELLS OF
THIS GREAT ACHIEVEMENT
Three Fourths of Increase Was
in Pork, One Fourth
in Beef.
American dressed-meat production,
including lard, amounted m
1018 to 20.129.800,000 pounds?a
quantity never before approached in
magnitude by the livestock industry
of this or any other country. The
corresponding figure for 1917 was
1 (>,317,300,000 pounds.
Three-fourths of the enormous increase
was in pork and one-fourth
was in beef.
The meat surplus in 1018 was so
great that extra export demands
made little impression on it, although
1018 export shipments of
meat and lard nearly doubled the
1017 figures, rising from slightly
less than one and three-fourths billion
pounds to slightly more than
three billion pounds?and these figures
do not include shipments to American
military forces abroad.
The aggregate 1017 consumption
of dressed meat and lard in the United
States was approximately 14,500,000,000
pounds, but in 1918 it rose to
17,250,000,000 pounds. This means,
after allowing for increase in population,
an addition of 23 pounds for
every man, woman, and child in the
country, despite* the food conservation
campaign which in 1017 caused
consumption to decline considerably.
How Shortage Became Surplus.
"While the people as a whole,
through their abstinence avoided the
immediate crisis, it was the fanner
who was the really big factor in the
ultimate situation," says the Bureau
of Animal Industry, United States (
Department of Agriculture, which is
authority for the foregoing statement.
"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
gieatly enlarged quantity was available
for the home consumption.
"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 became more costly;
hence the high prices. But the unprecedented
prosperity of the people
as a whole enabled them to afford
the increased cost. In fact, la
boring people probably consumed
more meat during tbe past year than
in prewar times." .
Quantity Increases "Remarkable"
"The total number of cattle slaughtered
in 1918 is estimated at 15,750,400,"
says the bureau, "as against
13,723,900 in 1917. Their average
weights were practically the same
for both years, and the beef produced
from them was 6,080,000,000
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 increase their production
a billion pounds in one year.
"The hog matures quickly, therefore
a much more rapid increase
would be looked for than was the
case with cattle. Even so, the results
for 1918 can be described only
as stupendous. The hogs marketed
in 1918 numbered (>9,854,700, as
against 57,483,800 in 1917. Furthermore,
the average weight was 9 1-2
pounds more per hog in 1918. Thus
when the animals are turned into
pork and lard we have a total production
of 11,225,(>(>4,000 pounds in
1918, as against 8,478,289,000
pounds in 1917, an increase of 2,747,355,000
pounds, or 32.4 per cent,
nearly one-third."
Striking increases in exports are
also shown by the bureau. Beef
shipments abroad in 1918 were 91
per cent more than in 1917, the
chief items being 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.,080,
which was 71.7 per cent more
than the quantity sent abroad in
1917.
The bureau shows that in the aggregate
more meat by far is eaten
in the United States than in any other
country in the world, although
some sparsely settled countries raising
much meat have a larger per
capita consumption. It also says

WANTS TO PROTECT
WOMEN EMPLOYEES
\
Attorney General Moves lo
Enforce Statutes and to
Ask Juries to Act.
?7~
Sam M. Wolf, attorney general,
bus written to county officials in
each county to procure the namos of
foremen of grand juries, with the
\ m pose of calling to their attention
'torn time to time certain laws on
the statute books which arc not being
enforced.
The first acts to be called to their
attention will be those relating to
the employment of women in mercantile
establishments or other places
where goods, wares or merchandise
are sold. The statute provides that
seats shall bo provided for the women,
that they may occasionally sit
down and thus not place in jeopardy
their health.
Mr. Wolfe is of the opinion that
this statute is flagrantly violated
and believes that there are few merchants
of the State who realize that
there is such a law on the statute
books. He is thoroughly in sympathy
with these women employees
and will start a movement looking
to the enforcement of this law. look
ing to proper precaution as to their
health.
The other law to which the attorney
general will direct the attention
of the grand jury foreman will he
that which limits the number of
hours women may be employed
daily.
Although the enforcement of these
laws is made obligatory upon the
State department of agriculture,
commerce and industries, Mr. Wolfe
>s of the opinion that it is no less obligatory
upon him as the head of the
legal department of the State to see
that the statutes are enforced. He
further believes that prosecution
based on the report of any person to
the grand jury would be as valid as
if the charges were preferred by him
self or any other State official.
The two sections of the code of 1912
read as follows:
"Sec. 429. It shall be the duty of
all employers of females in any mercantile
establishment, or any place
where goods or wares or merchandise
are offered for sale, to provide
nd maintain chaiys or stools, or
:>ther suitable scats, for the use of
ruca lemaie employees, to tne inimber
of one seat for every three females
employed, and to permit the
use of such seats by such employees,
at reasonable times, to such an exlent
as may be requisite for the pre.
crvation of their health. And such
employees shall be permitteed to use
same, as above set forth, in front of
the counter, table, desk, or any fixture
when the female employee for
tlni use of whom said seat shall be
kept and maintained is principally
engaged behind such counter, table,
desk or fixture. Any person violates
or omits to comply with anv of
*
the foregoing provisions of this section,
or who suffer or permits any
woman to stand in violation of its
provisions, shall be guilty of a misdeameanor,
and, on conviction, shall
be punished by a fine of not less
than $20 nor more than $100 for
each offense. The commissioner of
agriculture, commerce and industries
and the State factory inspectors are
hereby charged with the enforcement
of the provisions of this law,
and said commissioner is hereby
emoowered from time to time when
I ?
I ever he may deem it necessary, to
employ female inspectors for the
purpose of collecting evidence. The
sum of $300, if so much is necessary
shall annually be appropriated for
the purpose of compensating such
female inspectors.
"Sec. 430. The hours of labor of
women in mercantile establishments
in this State shall be limited to 60
hours per week not to exceed 12
hours in any one day, and such females
shall not be allowed to work
later than the hour of 10 o'clock p.
m. The enforcement of this law is
placed in the hands of the commissioner.
Any employer or employers
of female labor in mercantile establishments
who shall violate the provisions
of this act shall bo deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall
be punished by a fine of not less
than $10 nor more than $40, or imprisonment
of not less than ten days
nor exceeding 30 days."
