SOUTH SIDE
PORK INCREASE
SHOWN IN REPORT
OF TENjARKETS
During May 2,303,630 Hogs
Weighed, and Animals Being
Produced Heavier Than
Last Year's Output.
" That the farmers anif stock grow-
ers of the country are rendering a
valuable service toward the winning
of the war by increasing the produc
tion of pork, is indicated by a report
gathered from the ten principal live
stock markets by the National Live
Stock exchange.
The figures for May show that at
these ten markets, 2,303,630 hogs
were weighed, out of which were
found 17,707 piggy sows, or an aver
age of 76 piggy sows in each 10,000.
Receipts for the same month last
year, at the same markets, amounted
to. 2,199,013 hogs, out of which were
found 19.202 piggy sows, or an aver
age of 87 piggy sows in each 10,000
hogs weighed, showing a decrease
this year of 11 piggy sows in each
10.000 hogs.
.-During the first five months of this
year the receipts showed 13,267,087
hogs weighed, out of which were
found 79,206 piggy sows, or an aver
age of 59 piggy sows in each 10,000
hogs weighed. The figures for the
corresponding period a year ago
show 12,390,109 hogs weighed, out
of which were found 81,644 piggy
sows, or an average of 66( piggy sows
in each 10,000 hogs weighed.
These figures show that more hogs
are being produced this year than
last, an1 that the farmers are making
them heavier than usual.
Farmers and stock growers in the
territory tributary to the Omaha mar
ket have also demonstrated their pa
triotism by sending in large num
bers of hogs to be sold for the bene
fit of the local Red Cross chapters.
From February 2J to June 26, the
fund had reached a total of $300,-192.69.

hogs and sheep, and nearly double
(he number of cattle. The figures
re: Omaha, cattle 5,300; hogs, 14,
500, and sheep, 5,000. Kansas City,
cattle, 3,000; hogs, 6,000, and sheep,

Flat Increase in Live
Stock Rate of 25 Per Cent
i E. E. Grimes. in charge of the con
solidated railroad offices in the Union
stock yardj building, in explaining the
effective June 25, Thursday made the
following statement:
"The increase in live stockjrates is
a flat 25 per cent, with a maximum
increase of 7 cents per hundred. Ship
pers should understand that this in
crease applies to all markets.
"Grain rates are similarly advancedj
that is, wheat rates are advanced 2o
per cent' and grain other than wheat
is advanced to the wheat basis. Coal
rates are advanced approximately 30
cents per ton in South Omaha. AH
class rates are advanced 25 per cent,
with a minimum rate of 25 cents on
first class. The increase in the live
stock rates will have a tendency to
force shipment to the closest mar
ket and will in reality help the gov
ernment in zoning the different markets."

Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. R.
