FOR MEAHAMINE
Huge Pork Supply Won't
Compensate For Reduced
Amounts Of Other Meat.
Br Alfred Leech
, United Press Correspondent
Chicago, Oct. 19 (U.R) Corn
belt farmers are preparing to
market the biggest hog crop in
history, but the , nation still is
heading for a severe meat short
age next year.
Some sources estimate the
country's population at 120,000,
000, but the meat industry be
lieves this huge pork supply will
not compensate for reduced
amounts of other meats, parti
cularly beef.
The hog population estimate
I Abased on the crop of 74,000,
000 pigs produced last spring,
with another large crop expect
ed this faU.
Peak This Winter
M. M. Conway, statistician for,
the National Livestock Market
ing Association, said the nation's
meat supply would reach a peak
this winter.
"There will be plenty of meat,
Including beef, up to December,"
he said. "But alter that, beef
will drop off, the lamb and mut
ton supply will be way down,
and pork production will drop in
February and March."
Conway, believes there will
be little meat for civilian con
sumers next summer.
The record hog crop which
soon will begin streaming to
ward mid-western stockyards
was made possible by the second
bumper crop in two years.
Farmers have chosen to feed
their corn to hogs instead of sel
ling it through commercial chan
nels for using It to fatten cattle.
The price ceiling on corn has
discouraged farmers from selling
it, and there is more profit in
fattening hogs than there it in
feeding cattle.
Cora Is Key
As the raw material which
helps produce meat, corn Is the
key to the nation's food problem.
Ordinarily, a bumper crop
means a rich larder of meat,
poultry, milk and eggs.
But this year, corn has not
been distributed equally. Many
corn-belt farmers who have a
surplus, Conway said, plan to
hold their corn until next year
rather than sell It under the
ceilings.
As a result, he said, corn In
surplus areas Is not moving into
regions where it is needed urg
ently to feed livestock.
Much com may be wasted, he
said, because many farmers are
planning to send their hogs to
market heavier than usual.-
'These bogs will be heavier
than the government wants
them to be," he said, "and there
will be a lot of lard on them

, Will Market Sows
Conway believes many hog
farmers - will liquidate their
crops this year by sending sows
to market, with a resultant small
pig crop next spring.
The outlook for beef produc
tion is unfavorable, he said, be
cause large numbers of cattle
shipped to market from the
western ranges are being slaugh
tered. Ordinarily, they would be sold
to mldwestern cattle feeders
who would fatten them for mar
ket, assuring the country of an
even supply throughout the
year. . "
But because of the shortage of
feeds other than 'corn, and the
high price of available feed, cat
tle feeders are not in the market
for the range cattle they usually
fatten.

Vice-President Henry A. Wal

ganized labor is strong enough
to combat successfully "those
businessmen who want a show
down in terms of power." ;
Wallace, addressing a gather

depends on cooperation and un
derstanding between business,
agriculture and labbr.
"And I -am happy to say," he
said, "that many leaders of busi

"But," he said, ."there is a cer
tain small group that only thinks
of labor in terms of power, that
seems to hunger and thirst for a
showdown with labor in terms of
power.
"And if it Is a matter of power
against power let us meet pow
