HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALL5, OREGON PACE SIX - S t ? OPA INCREASE ON CEILINGS SET WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 M) j.he OPA Tuesday announced an increase of 75 cents a hun dredweight in the ceiling price on barrow and gilt hogs weigh ing more than 270 pounds. Effective today, the new price will be $14.75 a hundred for these heavier types. The change will not apply to sows, stags and boars, which will continue lo have a ceiling of $14. All hogs weighing less than 270 pounds already have a max imum price of SH.75. Extension of the higher ceil ing to heavier gilts and barrows was recommended by the war food administration and ap proved by Stabilization Direc tor Fred M. Vinson. Explaining the adjustment, OPA said that harvesting of a record crop of corn this year and a "satisfactory improve ment" in the supply of other types of feed prompted the change. It added that farmers now may feed hogs to heavier weights "without the fear of a discount." This should result, the agency said, in a greater volume of pork and lard from hogs now on hand. "At present, the demands for pork products and lard by gov ernment procurement agencies are extremely high, and the shortage of this class of produc tion for civilians is being felt nationally," OPA said. It was stated that without weight limitations and with adequate feed supplies, "a farm er can hold his hogs for a lim ited time when and If market gluts develop."
