time in Ncbinsl.u on shipments of

counties to each other and also out

After caieful Investigation It de
cided to recommend to the Council of
Defense the lifting of the embargo.
Several County Defense Councils and
Agricultural Agents report conditions
which they believe warranted a con
tinuance of the embargo on account of
local peculiarities. In HUeh cases It
was suggested that vigorous action
1)0 taken so that the use of old and
new stocks of com suitable for seed In
their locality be had.
It was reported that selllsh holders
were waiting for the embargo to be
lifted so that they could ship their
corn out of tho state nt prices above

mittees should see to It thnt this Is
not done, to the detriment of their
community.
The vx(remo seriousness of the seed
corn situation and the Imperative ne
cessity of every farmer securing nn
abundance of good seed, cannot be
too enrnestly urged upon our people.
The seed corn campnlgn having
been waged for several months In the

vigorously brought to the nttentlon
of our people, the Nebraska Sfnto
Council of Defence accepted the rec

Swift & Company
Publicity
1 " .
At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there
was introduced correspondence taken from the private files of
Swift & Company, which showed that the Company had been con
sidering for some time an educational advertising, campaign.
The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for sev
eral years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have
recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer
delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business,
relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people.
r
The feeling against the American packer is based largely on
the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and
consumer are adversely affected by the packers' operations,
resulting in unreasonably large profits.
Swift & Company's net profit is reasonable, and represents
an insignificant factor in the cost of living.
For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift
& Company were as follows:
Sales
$875,000,000.
Profit.
$34,650,000.
This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500.
If Swift it Company had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser
would have received only one-eighth of a cent per pound mpre for his
cattle, or the consumer would have saved only one-quarter of a cent per
pound on dressed beef.
