Not many hogs are ruised In thla valley for shipment to tho mar kets of the west ur oven the middle west, although In Wallowa .county shipments of hogs compare very favorably witb other livestock shipments, and this line of Indus try has proven to be one of the profitable lines in that section. Ac cording to experts, speaking on tho situation, the general hog outlook fur IDill is more tuvornblo thun It was In the past yenr, but there ure still plenty of hogs In sight and there seems to be no logical reu son for Oregon producers to change from the' established policy for producing hogs on farm waste and home grown grains for the local demand rather than to produce a surplus for shipment lo outside markets. The hog oulluuk for 1VS9 Is fav orable. Slaughter la expected to bn considerably smaller than in 1928, with sume Improvement in foreign demand and no mulerhil change In domestic demund. Tiie seasonal levels of hog prices in lt)-s and 1930 are expected to average higher than In 1928. If higher hog prices this yeur stlmulute lu. creased hog breeding, In late 1929, Increased marketings In tho winter of 1930-31 will again start the hog prlce eyele duwnward, Htnbtllxa tton of hog production nt a level represented by the pig crop of 1921 uppenrs to be tho must suitable program fur securing n prufltublu balance between corn and hog pro duction In the Corn Belt. Bo long as swino growers In Ore- goto can get Chicago prices plus freight from surplus hog producing slates, they have a chance to make a fair profit. Thla condition will not exist when numbora on the coast increase to auch an extent that there la no need for shipping hogs from the eust. Slaughter in 1929 will probably be aomewnat less thun In 192K but more thun In 1926-87. There l ; some Indication that the lower ) price experienced during 1928, has reduced the pig crop for 1929.
