Charles J. Prand, Chief of the Di
vision of Marketa of the IT I, De
partment of Agriculture, nsked by
Senator Jones for hi view. on the
condition of the market for hogs In
the northwest, intimated In a statc
mi'tit that on account of It locution
in relation to other market centers
tbt Pacific Northwest I virtually a
market in ltelf and "therefore I
somewhat limited in o far aa the de
mand for meat product are con
cerned." Thl fact, he says, coupl.'.l
with Hie enormous Increase In pro
duction hax been cited by some mar
ket authorities a Indicative of the
. . .-production of hogs in the North
weat territory.
Students nf hog and cattle condi
tions In the Northwest as welt as in
other parts of the It. 8. are laughing
at Brand's statement. It would be
a Joke but for the fact that It comes
from an official of the Department of
Agriculture, whose buslnes I sup
posed to he along the line of build
ing up, and not destroying the hog
Industry. If there I an over-pro
duction of hog In the northwest, If
the market I limited, why the pres
ent spendld price for hogs, why tbt
contracts for early summer l livery
at even higher prices than aro being
paid today; If there Is an over-pro
ductlon perhaps Mr. tlrand can M
plain why from 1.16 to 9:i 2 carload i
or nog nave neen shipped every
year alnce 1908 (19I! li.cludcd)
from Nebraska and Month Dakota
Just to meet the requirements of one
Seattle packing Iiouro alone? To thl
should be added the hog ahlpped
from these points to packers in Spo
kane, Tacoma and Portland, also the
enormous amount of finished packing
house products, which are constant
ly being shipped here from Missouri
Itlver point.
It Is true that for a hort time hog
price were lower In the northwest
than In the east. It will probably
never occur again. The explanation
M to why It did occur la simple
enough. The great European War
came on suddenly, wheat lumped
aky high, eastern grower dumped
their hog on the market by the
thousand, yea by tena of thousand.
the beef trust finding itself with thin
aurplu Mtock on hand, nought to de
moralise the northwest market by
shipping this surplus out here; at
the same time northwest hog grow
ers, swept off their feet by high wheat
price, turned their hog, most of
them In an Inferior condition, on the
market Thl surplus glutted the
northwest market temporarily but
the northwest packers soon cleaned j
it up. Then the prices of hog again
began to Jump and today every grow-
er In the northwest who continued in
the hog business I reaping hi fluun

MARKETS OE EAST

Boston, March It, It Is suggest
