TELLS OF SHIPMENTS
1910 Year Hook Tells of Tart Played
by America In Feeding Allied
Force In Hurope In War
A new Idea of the great part play
ed by America In feeding the allied
forcea In Europe Is given In the 1919
Year Book of Swift & Company,
which haa just been issued.
In 1918 these products shipped
abroad totaled 590,359,769 pounda
more than three tlmea the amount
shipped In 1914, the first year of the
war. The pork product shipments
totaled 1,691,454,629 pounda aa
against 921,913,029 in 1914 an in
crease of 83 per cent.
During the year ending November
1, 1918, Swift & Company alone
shipped 760,000,000 pounds of meat
and meat products to the American
army and navy at home and; abroad
and to the allied nations for their
armies and civilian populations. The
Year Dook says: "This amounts to

which would make a aingle train
200 miles long." '
Borne of the difficulties encounter
ed In shipping are shown In the fol
lowing:
"The meat for Europe has gone hi
fleets of vessels under convoy, and
the Food Administration has often
been unable to know Very far In ad
vance when cargo space would be
available. For thla reason Swift &
Company baa frequently been noti
fied that a certain number of mil
lions of pounda would be wanted at
a certain port within a few daya.
Swift St Company haa often had ship
ments on the way to the seaboard
within a few hours after the orders
have been received, and believes that
it haa met with signal auccess In the
filling of such rush orders.
"The packing industry waa able to
adapt itself to wartime demands per
haps .more quickly than any other
Industry. If this Industry had not
been organised on a large scale along
national, r and even International,
tinea, it would never have been able
to answer all demands as promptly
aa It has. War demands have, -of
course, caused many changes In
methods and have made it necessary
for us to Increase our facilities in
many respects.
"For example, when the . United
States entered the war, there devel
oped a demand for canned bacon for
shipment to our soldiers overseas.
Swift & Company Immediately took
over a semi-completed soap factory
and within thirty days had installed
tne necessary macntnery and was
filling government contracts. More
than a million pounds of bacon a
week hav eoften been canned In this
factory. This means that our sol
diers have been getting fine, cured,
smoked bacon, whereas the Allies!
have been demanding only nit, un
amoked bacon, which doea not have
to be canned.
"Another example showing the
co-operation that awe have offered
the government waa when the gov
ernment found it necessary to have
large quantities of butter, which It
had bought for overseas shipment,
put Into cans. Swift fe Company,'
alone among the big butter handlera
of the country, waa willing to install
the necessary equipment, and In the
course of three weeks, under the
most "unfavorable circumstances, be
gan canning butter for the govern
ment. Up to t e time this Year
Dook goes to press,. we have put up
some three million pounds of butter
owned by the government and-also
two million pounda which we have
gathered for the government, mak
ing a total of five million pounda of
butter that have been put up In
tine."
