Times, January 13, 1944 Hog Production Eases eff; Hog Corn Ratio Down A significant change has occurred in the hog price ration at Chi cago and in the intentions of farm ers in the United States to produce hogs, according to information pre pared by the agricultural extension service at Oregon State college. With the hog-corn price ratio at 11.7 late in December 1943, compar ed with 16.2 a year previous, hogs are worth 30 percent less in ex change for corn. With net income to feeders materially reduced, the gov ernment pig crop report indicates that hog production will decline in 1944, although the hog-com ratio is still considerably higher than it has been in some previous years. The pig crop report shows that the downtrend was noted last fall with a smaller pig crop than ex pected, although the number of pigs farrowed in the UnUited States was 10 percent above the fall crop of 1942. The number of pigs to be far rowed next spring was indicated at 16 percent fewer than in the spring eg 1943. If farmers actually produce the number of hogs indicated for 1944, the fall and spring pig crops combined will still be the largest on record, except in 1943. The number of pigs raised in 1943 was about 67 percent above the 10-year average and 17 percent more than in 1942. Information received from the War Food Administration by the extension service regarding hog price supports states that the sched ule in effect in Oregon during De cember 1943 will be continued un til further notice. This means $13.75 at Portland for good and choice 200 to 300 pound butcher hogs until otherwise announced. Effective Oct. 1, 1944 until March 31, 1945, however, it has been an nounced that the support price at Chicago for good choice butcher hogs 190 to 230 pounds is to be $12.50, compared with the current support price at Chicago of $13.75 for 200 to 300 pound hogs.

Farmers Asked to Avoid Soil Erosion Farmers throughout the United States have been asked to raise the crops in 1944 that they can produce the most of without jeopardizing future production by plowing up grass land or otherwise farming their land in such a way as to en courage soil erosion.
