Wheat-Livestock
Bulletin Issued
By Oregon State
A larger portion of the Pacific
northwest annual 40 million bushel
wheat surplus can be marketed ad
vantageously by using it for fat
tening livestock, is the belief of E.
L. Potter, head of the division of
agricultural economics, and H. A.
Lindgren, extension animal husband
man at Oregon State college. Possi
bilities of such use of part of the
wheat surplus are discussed in a bul
letin by these men, just off the press

and entitled, "Marketing the Sur
plus Wheat of the Pacific North
west Through Livestock."
Suitability of wheat as a grain for
livestock fattening whether for hogs,
sheep or cattle is no longer a ques
tion. When properly handled it is
just as good, pound for pound, as so
called feed grains, according to re
sults of experimental feeding in
Oregon and of commercial feeding
by certain eastern Oregon growers.
Thousands of head of cattle and
sheep now go to feed lots farther
east for finishing for market. Hog
production along the Pacific coast
has long been on a deficit basis re
sulting in large imports of pork.
When there was an adequate outlet
for Pacific northwest wheat at fair
prices, this procedure was econom
ically sound in the main, according
to the authors of the new bulletin.
At present, however, it is beleved
that with wheat prices on a basis
comparable to the price of other
feed grains, a substantial increase
in hog production, as well as in
creased feeding of sheep and cat
tle, is in order.
Statisticians have found that if
the entire wheat surplus of the Pa
cific northwest were fed to hogs, it
would produce just about the num
ber now being shipped in to the Pa
cific coast trading area from the corn
belt. This would result in placing
Portland hog prices around 35c un
der Chicago prices, rather than the
average of 38c higher that has been
obtained since 1930. Of course, no
one expects the entire surplus to be
fed to hogs, while a gradual increase
