(100 pounds each), I930 1 r I933L First e months pASED oo the talr exchange rela tlonshlp with prices of things farmers buy, bogs during the past decade have bad materially less pur chasing power thsn tbey bad in the pre-war period. In 1983, It took about eight hogs to buy what thr-je bogs would buy In the 1910-14 porlod as Indicated above. In all the years since 1020-21 (excepting In 1M5-26 when (here was a temporary reduc tion in hoc "apply) the purchasing power ot hogs has been on a general downward trend. In 1932. the fair exch&nc-a vntnn of hogs was $7.76 per hundredweight. I no prices of things farmers buy averaged slightly above their pre war level. But the actual farm price ot bogs In 1932 was only 3.47 per hundre-lwelgbt, or Jl.'SS below fair exchange value. : ' t . i Fair cicBuuo value means the prc-n-ar price for hogs only wheat he price of things farrrsrs b:i In st tbe pre-war level. It the prices of things farmers buy become double their pre-war level, then the fair ex change value will be double the pre war price of bogs. The corn-hog production adjust ment program under the Agricul tural Adjustment Act seeks to raise hrg prices to the current fair ex change value. This may bo done by bringing production Into belter hal. -ance with the most profitable de mand through a reduction In 1934 of 25 percent in hog production and 20 percent In ocrn acreage.
