If we are to maintain our supplies to rhi* r.MVes. we have only one of two enrraes,- or a combination of both: first, we must reduco our con sump t on of pork products to the prewa. normal or better; and. second, we urust Increase our production. If we discontinue exports, we will move IJK German line from France to the At? lantic seaboard. Pork products have an influence In this present world situation wider than one would ordinarily attribute Jo thsm. The human body must have a certain amount of dally intake of fat. Whether this fat Is by means of dairy products, by vegetable oil, or or pork products becomes a secondary question in time of complete natlona i tress, because pork products to some defreo will substitute for the other .imcYIca ffns HiKirmmt* IVcd Crop In' I fand. Duo to the blessing of the A! c.K.btN and the energy of our farmers We have secured one of the largest corn crops in our history. We also Lave abundant crops of oats-, barley, ktttlr corn, soy beans, velvet beans, cottonseed and peanut meal, and wo will have a larger s*oppr* of' mill feed than normal. Not ull of these sre hog feed*, but thoy will enter the general feeding question by adding to the general pool of feed. If we aggregate all of tho feedinr stuffs, and If we substrtrct the .i mourn | of fodder grains whh?!\ we can ex? pect to export In view of the present shipping outlook, we will nod one as? tounding* fact wWoh s-hould give American farmers pause: We havo t^day somewhere near the equivalent of 1,000.000,000 bushels of feeds moro than last year. This is nn Increase of nearly 23 per cent.?for which we 1 nve no corresponding- number of ani rials to feed unless we begip to in? crease them at once, In other words ae our animals- have not kept pace v-lth our Increase In concentrates, we have much more feed thin year than we have animals to eat It. Therefore, It' farmers *?r0 to find markets for f ed, it must be to a great extent through an Irrcreaw? Tint animals. Tho monetary Interpretation* of this situation must be that wc will have a low range of prices for feeding stuffs a id, In view of the European situation arid our own shortage In hojrs, we will have a high average price for pork products. Therefore. N must be to the vital advantngc of every farmer t) raise hogs. Start a "kecp-a-Plg" Movement. This situation is one that can Ik Tartly solved by our suburban popu? lation. If every suburbanite look to 1 Is cure a pig and fed it on the hous garbage, he would increase our fat supply ami do so without call upon cur general feeding stuffs. In Gor riany 4,000,000 hogs arc supported b; these means. We need u "Keop-u Tig" movement in this country?and a. properly cared for pig Is no more Insanitary than a dog. Such a move? ment would necessarily require some changes in village and ui1k.ii ordi? nances; but the national WO If arc would be warrant ample for such a course of action. Our Diminishing Wool Clip.

Our American farmers would J j be wise, therefore, to leaTTfe that for! a considerable period after* the war there will be a very poor export mar? ket for American bread grains.) whereas there will be a wide demand for animal products. Consequently if the anlmala be increased there wir bo a large demand for fodder grain* within our own country. In other words, the outlook of our farmers needs to be turned toward animals and their food grains, not only now but for many year* after the war. rood Administration Will Atfi I*Og Men. I realize that under certain cortdb tlons a lack of confidence In the sta bllty of market prices may act as1 n deterrent, and. further, that this may sometime* come from a failure to glimpse an opportunity before one: I therefore wish to make this positive statement that so far as the United States Food Administration is able. ! through its influence on the purehas? of pork and Its products for exportn ton. it will do all within its power to sec that prices of pork ere maintained in a ratio to feed prices that will cov? er not only costs of production bu proper femtineratlon to the producer. Dy a Svstem of license control ot manufactures and distributers the Food Administration will further help the producers. This system will tend toward the abolition of speculation, the punishment of profiteering and the assurance that the consumer re? ceives the product at a fair ratio <yf the producers* price, and that, vice versa, the producer receive* a fair In? terpretation of the consumer's pay? ment. All of theSe measure*, I be? lieve, offer a new hdpe for agricul? ture. *> The Tttkt Ptngrro. The rat population of the^ United States is estimated by a competent authority to be almost twice as great as the human population. Its de ' mands are so insistent and voracious 1 aa to consume approximately the en ! tire economic output of two hundred thousand men., Unless the people Oi the United States rouse themselves and take vigorous measures, the rat population will hneroase in even great? er ratio and wil) have an increasingly larger number, of men working to support it. TJie( thought of such an 'army of human beings, tolling for the 1 benefit of rats is revolting! There is almost nothing of value to man that a rat will not destroy.. Moreover, so long as rats exist in la r ;c numbers the bubonic plague is ever Imminent, and thoy must at lea.a hear tho suspicion of being active - dis somlnators of diphtheria, typhoid fo ver, scarlet fever and infantile pa? ralysis. , I The Idea that keeping a cat wf'l ' keep away rats is delusive. A cat will occasionally catch a rat, but rat fc Icundity and rat cleverness will baffle j the efforts of the best ratter that evjr lived. Trapping, poisoning, fumigat? ing, rat-proofing?all the known .method's 6f destroying the vermin will i huve to be employed more liberally than they now are If a ?erlous me.v ace to health and property is to be abated. Anyone on whose premise** ' there are rats should write to the : Biological Survey, Department of Ag 1 ricul;ure, Washington, for a bulletin 1 telling how to destroy the pest.

Oct. 29 (By the %Aasooiated Tress)?The first Herman prisoner of war taken by the American expedi? tionary forces died today in an Ameri? can field hospital, having been shot when he encountered an American -patrol in No Man's Land in front of tho American trenches. He with another German was dis? covered Saturday night by the patrol and was called upon to halt. The Ger? mans ran; the patrol fired and one of | the enmy was hit. The prisoner was treated'at a dressing station and re mbvfed to a field hospital where the combined efforts of several surgeons failed to save his life. The prisoner was a mail carrier anfi letters of some value were found on him. He explained his presence near the American trenches, saying he had lost his way in the dark. He de? clared that the German soldiers did not know that Americans were on tho front or in France, the officers telling them nothing. or? ENEMIES. hsrtillt Wc nre Fight ing Against.

(, During tho first three years, eaoh week brought its own revelation of ' German preparation for war, through the sinking of hospital ships, tb^e looting of cities, the murder of all-the ' inhabitants of villages, the treachery by her, ambassadors of every great capital.

For thoughtful men who have weighed the issues, there is something startling about the enormous gains Germany wovild make by securing an immediate poa^e. j , Germany has missed the g?al she desired, namely, the conquest of a kingdom from Hamburg on the North Sea to the Persian Gulf, and two hundred and fifty millions of people. By withdrawing from Belgium and France and then closing the Incident, Germany would leave France, Grea Britain and their allies broken by in? vasion, and saddled with ninety bil? lions of debts.
