This is just part of what is said: If there Is an over-production of hogs in the Northwest, If the market Is lim ited, why the present splendid price for hogs, why the con tracts for early summer delivery at even higher prices than are being paid todny? It la true that for a short time prices were lower in the Northwest than in the East. It will probably never occur again. The great Euro pean war came on suddenly, wheat jumped sky high, eustern growers dumped their hogs on the market by thousands, yes,; by tens of thousands. At the same time Northwest hog grow ers, swept off their feet by wheat prices', turned their hogs, most of them in an inferior condition, on the market. This surplus glutted the market temporarily Then the price of hogs began t( jump and today every grower li the Northwest who continued In the hog business is reaping his financial rewuVd. The mar k"ets of the Northwest are grow ing day by day; the population Is en the jump. Hogs from now on will be in greater demand it is predicted than ever before lr the history o$ the Northwest.'
