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

1928, with sume Improvement in

Bo long as swino growers In Ore-

a fair profit. Thla condition will
not exist when numbora on the
