HOGS FOR COAST IS
FIXED BY PACKERS
Figure of $15.49 Is One Cent
' Under Chicago MarketA
Shortage Is Feared on Coast. '
WANT HEAVIER PRODUCTION
Price-Fixing Expected to Bene
fit Producers Without Result
ing in Added Cost to Buyer.
San Francisco, Jan. 21. (I. N. S.) A
minimum price of 115.49 a hundred
pounds for hogs raised in California.
' Oregon and Washington was fixed today
by a voluntary agreement between more
; than 80 Pacific coast packers and the
. United States food administration.
Colncldentally with this agreement,
l 'which will benefit the producers with
out resulting in any increased cost to
consumers, it was revealed that there
exlata today a oork shortage of 30 per i
cent ove rthe same period tor 1917.
The price fixed is just 1 cent under
the food administration minimum ef
fective on the Chicago market, and, ac
cording to G. B. Cunningham, president
, of the California Swine Breeders' asso
ciation, it will bring about stimulated
production in the coast states and will
'. ' Insure an adequate supply for next fall's
. demands.
. The agreement was made at a con
ference called by Joseph P. Cotton,
chief of the meat division of the food
administration. Ralph P. Merritt. fed-
.. era! food administrator for California.
who has Just returned from Washlng
r ton, presided.
Among the packers who signed the
agreement were C. C. Colt, Union Meat
' company, Portland; F. ; L. Washburn,
; ; Western Meat company; K. Scott, Cud
'; ahy Packing company, Los Angeles; H.
" L. Kelley for Wilson & C., Los Ange-
les; I. L. Blum, Roth-Blum Packing
; "company, San Francisco ; W. O. For
. sythe. Armour Jb Co., Spokane; J. H.
Talbot, Universal Packing company,
' Fresno; Charles S. Hardy Packing
company, San Diego ; Mauser Packing
company, Los Angeles.
Action Iferer Taken Before
This is the first time in the history
of the Pacific Coast that the packers
have agreed to stabilize hog prices in
.the Interest of the farmer and to co
. operate toward stimulating production
in the face of a threatened shortage on
the coast.
The text of the agreement follows:
, "The food administration deems it lm
' perative that steps be taken to increase
hog production on the Pacific Coast.
In order that producers may have con
fidence that hogs bred this spring may
be marketed at a fair price, the admin
istration hereby adopts the following
minimum policy for the period during
w htch similar minlmums are in force in
the Middle West; the average price of
. packing hQg bought by packers at the
; terminal points of San Francisco, Los
"Angeles, Portland, Oakland, San Diego,
Seattle, South San Francisco. Spokane
and Sacramento will not be less than
one cent under the food administration i
minimum effective on the Chicago
market, (such Chicago minimum now
being 115.50 per hundred). Any packer
may make it a condition for the main
tenance of the minimum that he shall
charge any loss of condemnation by fed
eral or municipal inspection, to the
raisei or shipper."
Increase la Production Necessary
. : Mr. Merrit Bald :
"An Increase on pork production is
. absolutely necessary to out the coast
' on an Independent basis from the middle
' west market, and also to make the coast
X states a shipping point for pork products
f vitally needed by the allies. The mini
mum price means that producers are
; guaranteed against loss through a
fluctuating market and insured a fair
' market for the expense, time and labor
" involved."
' " Not more than 50 per cent as many
;" aows has been bred for spring farrows
as last year, Cunningham declared. This
condition he t said is due to the high
price of feed and labor, unstablllzed
prices and a generally unsatisfactory
market condition.
Price Low, Say, Farmers
Seattle, Jan. 21. (I. N. S.) Pork pack
ers and farmers of the Northwest to
day are at a loss to account for the
minimum price fixed for hogs on the
Pacific coast at a meeting of packers
. and food administration representatives
In San Francisco yesterday. Seattle
packers declare local prices usually
are higher than those, in Chicago and
yet the price fixed by the conference
is one cent lower than Chicago quota
tions. Packers declare If the vogern
ment Is to make hog raising attractive
to farmers, a greater difference must
be paid.
German Government j
Asks About Luxberg i
i
Buenos Aires, Jan. 21. (I. N. S.) '
The German government, through the )
Argentine minister in Berlin, has made .
representations to Argentina with re
gard to the detention of Connt von
. . Luxburg, the dismissed German charge,
" on the Island of Martin Garcia. Simul
taneously with these representations
the Argentine government, : it was
learned Sunday night, rejected a sug
gestion of the Berlin government . to
accredit Count Donoff, now acting sec? .
retary of the German legation here, as
envoy plenipotentiary to the Argentine
government.
Argentina's rejection of a successor
- to Count von Luxburg, as reported in
; the above dispatch, may mean the first
' ' atep toward an open' break with Ger-
vmany.

Large Candymaker
Solves Fuel Problem
New York. Jan. 21. -(I., X S.) A
large candy manufacturer announces
that he has solved the fuel shortage
by sifting his ashes. On every ton of
. reclaimed cinders he pours one gallon
of . kerosene and in this way obtains
a ton of efficient fuel. . The sifting
, process costs him only si a ton and the
kerosene 11 cents a gallon, wholesale.
, lnr other words, he is getting good
fuel at the rate of il.ll a ton. The
plan . has been so satisfactory that he
: intends' to ; make It permanent? even
: after ' the coal shortage has ended.
