Include the British colony of Hong
Kong, at least for the time being,
the communist diplomat said. He
declined use of his name but in
formation he has given in the past
has proved reliable.
Red mastery of Tibet, land of
the world's highest mountains
ruled by Buddhist Lamas, would
bring the communists to India's
borders. It would give them con
trol over the Indian common
wealth's northern trade routes
through the states of Bhutan and
Nepal.
Both expansion plans un
doubtedly will mean fierce fight
ing in huge military operations.
The island of Formosa, strong
hold of Chinese nationalist lead
er Generalissimo Chiang Kai
Shek, is believed strongly defend
ed against possible landing opera
tions from the Chinese mainland.
Although Tibet has only 10,000
poorly equipped troops, its formld-
able, unmapped terrain will make
movement difficult for the legions
able to obtain sufficient feeder
cattle at prices they feel they can
pay.
Based on all the factors in
volved, some increase in the
spring pig crop of 1950 over that
of 1949 seems likely. Abundant
corn supplies at prices that are
currently low in relation to hog
prices seems to outweigh other
influences and are likely to be
Cattle. Hogs Increasing In
United States; Mutton And
Lambs Lowest In Many Years
Cattle numbers in the United States Are increasing, reports
the Department of Agriculture. Last January, there were 78,495,000
cattle and calves on farms; by next January the number may
be moderately larger. Present numbers have been exceeded in
onjy 5 years.
This indicates a larger output of beef and veal for the years ahead
T-posslbly in 1950, but probably later, depending on whether
cattlemen retain or sell more than the usual proportion of their
herds next year.
If the weather . is favorable,
feed supplies will be adequate
for continuing the 1949 level of
beef production and for further
expansion in cattle numbers.
Feed grains will be' abundant,
and competition for range and
pasture has lessened by past re
ductions in sheep and workstock.
Sheep numbers have declined for
seven years and numbers of
horses and mules for about 30
years.
Beginning with 1942, numbers
of sheep and lambs were reduced
jo fast that annual production of
lamo ana mutton is now tne low
est in many years. Supplies of
these .leats will probably con
tinue short in 1950 since more
lambs may be kept on farms and
ranches to begin rebuilding the
flocks. The number of sheep and
lambs on farms and ranches last
January was 31,963,000, compar
ed With 56,213,000 in witn
fewer of these animals slaugh
tered this year, It is possible that
nearly as many sheep wi)l be on
farms at the end of December as
last January.
Hogs at Peacetime High
With the number of hogs
raised already at a peacetime
high, on many . farms present
numbers may tax tne faculties
for hog raising or press on the
farmer's available time. The to
tal pig crop for 1949 is indicated
at 96,040,000 head. In 1943, the
crop rose to 121,807,000 head, but
the previous peacetime high was
85,261.000 in 1948. While produc
ers may be more cautious In ex;
panding an already increasing
hog production, the limited sup
plies of other kinds of livestock
would stimulate a further in
crease in hog raising, since many
farmers holding corn win be un
