By CAHOL C. CRANMKR WASHINGTON The high cost of pork chop th la winter and next year may be due to what agricultural economist call the "hog-corn price ratio." Prices of pork chops have risen abut 35 per cent since April, one of the largest percentage increases of any food for which average prlcea are obtained by the consumers' counsel of the AAA. The 'hog-corn price ratio" works like a seesaw. When the value of 114 bushels of corn is equal to the value of 100 pounds of live hog, nothing happens. But when relatively high corn prices due to a short crop or heavy feed demands make 11.4 bushels of corn worth materially more than 100 poupds of hog the effect is like a fat atrl on one end of a teeter board and them 1 an undersized boy on the other. now it nuiris Farmers sell their corn, feed their hogs sparingly and market them light, breed fewer sows for the next far rowing, hog slaughter goea down and corn prlcea go bump I Then low corn prices make loo pounds of hog worth more than 11.4 bushels of corn. Farmers begin, reea lng their hogs heavier and breeding more sows for farrowing, and soon It la time for hog prlcea to get a bump. The chief difference in this corn- hog cycle is that there Is a "lag" or a yeaT or a year and one-half after the nerlod of relatively high corn prices before the slump in hog slaugh ter. Just now agriculture department charts show corn prices have been in black under the 11 4-bushel deadline for some time, which means that corn prices are relatively higher than hog prices. Therefore reduced hog slaugh ter is anticipated. Drought Big Factor The reason la that while the gov ernment haa reduced the grain con suming anlrml units on farms through pig and sow slaughtering, re lief purchases and a hog reduction program, and by drought relief pur chases of cattle and sheep, the drought has reduced feed grain pro duction even more. It la estimated hog slaughter in the year beginning October 1 will be at least 30 per cent under tne average Of the last several years, that the numbers of cattle on January 1 will be 10 to 15 per cent less, and tne numbers of sheep 8 to 10 per cent less than a year ago. . But the feed grain supply per farm animal for 1934-35 will be 30 to 35 rxr cent smaller than for the five year average of 1929-33. Thus a premium is placed on feed, and reduced hog slaughter and high er pork prices are anticipated. Under the circumstances it might be argued that the logical thing to do would be to urge farmera to grow more corn. "Yes. but not too much!" officials of the AAA caution. Tendency To Overplant Although average hog prices on the farm in August advanced to the high est point since 1931. they still were 75 per cent short of "fair exchange value" when benefit payments are in cluded, compared with 45 per cent a rear before. A study of crop years after great droughts since 1868 shows there ai HOGS AVtRACt PRKTt ANONttSVlUOWCOIHI HOC MARKETINGS jmt, MILLIONS t I i lt , I I .. w n - . .- rn.nu yr nui MARKETINGS ;5 .0, SHORT.

FCOtHAUr iHiPCCTCO 3? 1930 1934 It's like a seesaw, this chart prepared by the bureau of agricultural economics, and in Its dips and upturns It tells the story of possibly higher prices for pork chops this winter. The black portions under the average price Hue show corn price- relntlvely higher than hog price, with reduced hog slaughter resulllng. indicated by the shaded portion below. The chart shows corn prices have been higher than hog prices for some months. ways Is a tendency for farmera to over-plant. Thus In 1895, after the 1804 drought, farmers planted 10,000,000 extra acres of corn, yields per acre we;"e above the average, and prices fell from 45 cents to 25 cents a bush el. By 1897 hog production had been stimulated and hog prices fell below those of 1894. AAA economists fear something like that may happen this time. Agreeing that a moderate increase in hog production Is desirable and that & larger corn acreage ahold be planted to build up reserves and pro vide a margin of safety, they say corn acreage should be held to about 95. 000.000 acres next year If farmers vote for a corn-lfog program. This Is less than a 10 per cent acreage reduction from the 105,500, 000-acre average of 1932-33, compared with a 12 per cent reduction this year.
