11 Th Statesman, Sclony Cfreccn, Friday; September 18, 1849 Low Weight Hogs Being Sent to Market By LUlle I Madsen Trm Editor, The Statesman Last year. It Is recalled, livestock Srkets were crying for more pigs, i cry wu heard and besides uppljlnt" the "more pigs" the hog farmers are doing more about big pork supplies. They are send ing their hogs to market at 180 to 200 pounds, one fifth lighter than In the former market days. HiIs means that the 15 per cent trigger" spring big crops that was produced won't put 15 per cent snore pdrk on the market. Hog market experts (from the fanner's side) say that hogs should W sold at 200 pounds so long as the price stays above support levels. Prices are supported until March tl, 1949. Have all late hogs ready to sell when prices rise in early opting, is the warning. The reports issued by Niels I. Welson, USDA, Portland, Thurs--. Slay, showed that an estimated 24, 00 head were slaughtered in July us year and that this was 1,000 snore than in July, 1948. How sever, June topped July this year, with 5,000 more slaughtered in June than in July. The total num cr of head slaughtered for the first seven month this year was per cent more than in the same period a year ago. Although slaughter hogs aver ged six pounds heavier in July nd two pounds heavier in June last year, all earlier months saw ighter hogs slaughtered this year. Hogs have been moving slowly but rather steadily this year in the Portland market. Prices have been snostly $24 to 24.25 for good and choice butchers. Sows command ed from $17 to $19 and choice Seeder pigs were reaching $24. Production of all dressed meat hi Oregon state and federal licen ced slaughter plants during July, 149, was seven per cent greater than a year earlier, but also seven rcent below June of this year, the first seven months of 1949, Oregon's dressed meat output which Is estimated at 100,130,000 pounds, exceeded by 5 per cent the 3,402,000 pounds produced in the acne period of 1948.
