Fluiaecial. Comics - The OREGON STATESMAN. Salem Oracoa, Scrturdonr Morning. Dcmbr 5. 1942 PAGE EIGHT Far .Mar Maldng Meat Outof Wheat Is Profitable "Whenever 100 pounds of pork . Jive weight sell on the farm for the same as the cost of 825 pounds of grain, the hog raiser will be paid for his feed, interest, taxes, labor and other expenses, says H. JA. Lindgren, Extension animal husbandman, in a new: OSC Ex- tension bulletin entitled "Convert ing Wheat to Meat." This fall, said Xlndgren, with . ground wheat at $35 per ton, hogs would need to sell for 11 . cents a pound on" the farm to pay for aJJ the costs mentioned. As a matter of fact, they have ranged from IS to 14 cents, thus allowing a safe margin. Under. such conditions hogs ean be fat tened profitably on wheat, and : . the operator will also be con tributing to the strengthening of the food chain that leads to victory. " The eight-page bulletin puts In brief and direct form a con siderable amount of the experi mental findings and experience of growers In feeding wheal to " hogs, cattle and lambs. As wheat Is the chief surplus crop In Ore gon and is now available at below-parity prices for feed purposes, its greater use for feed serves a double purpose, Lind gren points out. "Oregon produces annually 75, 000 feeder cattle, most of which are sent to other states to be fat tened. Forty per cent of the lambs produced in the state are sold as feeders. The Pacific coast pro duces only half the pork products normally consumed in this area. At this time there is opportunity to aid the war effort by convert ing a surplus crop into meat, wool, fats and other essential livestock products," the author states. . The bulletin contains, a tabula tion of costs and probable returns, in feeding cattle . and lambs at ' current prices of grain, hay and finished livestock. Both cattle and lambs will show reasonable re- turns above feed costs at present ' prices on the basis of established ratios of feed requirements per hundred pounds of grain. Both this bulletin and earlier, more detailed publications on feeding wheat to livestock may be had free.

The income was estimated at $12,681,000,000 compared with $9 340,000,000 a year ago. The de partment said prospective market ings during the last two months indicated the total 1942 income would equal . the $15,000,000,000 forecast earlier. v Looking ahead, the department said it was probable that farm income in the early months of 1943 would be somewhat higher because of record quantities of crops and livestock expected to be moving to market at prices about the present elvel. The return from crops during the 10-month period this year was reported as. 31 per cent higher than a year ago. The income from livestock and livestock prod ucts was up 40 per cent.

Other wise prices held about steady,' fluctuating nervously arouund previous; closing levels. - December- wheat rose more than a cent a bushel at one time to $1.27, highest in two months. Traders : said the buying ' repre sented short covering and also may have reflected the .fact that by purchase of futures ownership of grain could be .acquired cheap er than i through buying in the spot market. Some dealers thought mills may have done this since spot prices are at levels that pre vailed during the September 28 October 2 base period for estab lishment of flour ceilings. A THE PLrSNP ROAR.
