Retail Sales Show Gain Over Previous Week New York, Jan. 21 (U.B Spread of cold weather, special promotions and further price reductions combined to Uft retail aalea this week 1 to 4 percent above the preceding week and S to I percent over the cor.vs pondln, 1(37 period, Dun tc Brad- street said today. Activity was revived In more bran, ches of wholesale markets by spring buying and trade shows the g-iln over a year ago rising to 3 to V percent. Snow and cold weather pushed tt- tall winter merchandise to the top 01 shoppers' lists, the review said. The Impact of this unanticipated demand and the sustained lnt-at In the aggregesslvely-conducted clearance promotions made deeper inroads on retailers' falling inven tones." There was more uniformity noted in this week's advance, following the uneven Improvement In the first half of the month. Retail sales In the New England district rose about 2 percent over last year, largely through drastic price reductions, while the gain for the east was widened to 3 to 10 per cent. Despite the slow upturn of em ployment in most industrial districts. the middle west area recorded a S percent gam. Purchases of winter sports merchandise lifted volume n the northwest 4 to percent over last year, while slackening demand In some parts of the south pulled down the gain for that section to S to 9 percent. The gain in the south west narrowed to 3 to 5 percent, not withstanding sharp price cuts. Bust ness on the Pacific coast dipped be low the preceding week and was 2 to 5 percent below the 1937 period. Pork Yieidlor Year is Heavy Two tons of pork per sow per year! Here is a goal that every practical minded 1938 pork produc er might well shoot at. That this goal Is within reach of every up-and-coming hog raiser, is shown by the 1937 production record of John F. Allan of Sullivan county, Ind. In his strictly pork reducing herd, Mr. Allan raised 102 pigs from 12 sows, and in 180 days they aver aged 240 pounds a total weight of 24.480 pounds, or 12 tons, 480 pounds. This remarkable record was not an unusual one for Mr. Allan be cause he breeds his sows twice a year and markets a ton of pork from each, every six months. Mr. Allen's pigs are raised from purebred Duroc sows and their sire is always a registered Duroc boar. Neither are his pigs pampered and given more than ordinary attention Mr. Allan lets his pigs run through a creep when they are a month old and help themselves to all the grain they want. His ration: 300 pounds ground corn, 300 pounds ground oats, 300 pounds shorts, 100 pounds tankage, in a self-fedder. The mot to of this great hog man Is "keep them healthy and keep them grow ingthat's all there is to getting a ton of pork from a sow that will save eight or nine pigs."

Farmers Busy For Seeding Washington, Jan. 21 (P) Chicago meat packers and representatives of western livestock producers and mar kets told the Interstate commerce commission today farmers would have to bear the costs of a proposed 15 percent Increase In railroad freight rates. George E. Putnam, economist for Swift and company, declared the increase would add $15,000,000 to transportation charges on meat and by-products and would "consequent ly reduce by that amount the reve nue which farmers get from their livestock- The public, he contended, would not stand for higher meat prices. Putnam testified the loss to farm income from the rate Increase might run as high as $50,000,000. Paul E. Blanchsrd, counsel for Armour and company, testified he believed livestock and meats should be exempted from any rate Increase until other commodities carried by railroads began again to contribute their normal shares to maintenance of rail services. The ICC ended hearings yesterday on a proposed passenger railroad rate Increase from two to two and a half cents a mile. J. O. Daly, representing the Unit ed Commercial Travelers of Ameri ca, asserted the increase would drive business away from the railroads.
