TWO MILLION TONS MORE OF MEAT IN 1918 The report of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry shows that: "The total number of cattle slaugh- tered in 1918 is estimated at 15,750,- ; says the bureau, "as against 13,- 723,900 in 1917. Their average-weights were practicall}' the same for both years, and the beef produced from them was 6,6S6,000,000 pounds in 1917 and 7,641, 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, there- fore 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 as against 57, in 1917. Furthermore. the average weight was 9y2 pounds more per hog in 1918. Thus when the animals are turned into pork and lard we have a total production of 11,225,664,000 pounds in 1918, as against 8,,000 pounds in 1917, an increase of 2,747,- 355,000 pounds, or per cent, near- ly ; Striking increases in exports are also shown by the bureau. Beef ship- ments abroad in 1918 were 94 per c
