Show I : PROTECTION TO HOG KAISERS If the farmers and stock growers in the land fully realized the profits in hogs today and were sure of a fair price at markets of the future, undoubtedly un-doubtedly they would all rush into the hog business pell-mell.

Due to its suitability to curing and transporting to our armies and those of our associates asso-ciates in the war, there has become a great demand and serious shortage of hogs. Consequently the United States Food Administration, proposes to encourage en-courage pork production by establishing establish-ing rigid control of the market and buyers so that a fair price might be guaranteed to the producer. The iiovernment's intention of doing this should be glad tidings to those who wish to enter the hog raising business. The following is an excerpt from a let-er let-er of instruction to the State Food Administration: The price (for hogs) oust become stable, so that the farmer farm-er knows where he stands and will .'eel justified in increasing the number jf hogs.

They will, on the other hand, enjoy a louble reward in financial returns and he satisfaction of a good work performed, per-formed, and it is only by cooperation jf the farmers and stock growers that jur boys in the service can be supplied sup-plied this essential food product and 1 world-wide pork famine averted.
