The farmer knows, but perhaps the consumer dorsn t, that hngs do not move steadily to market throughout Ihe year. Marketings start the year at a very high level, then taper off in March and April. Then they spurt up In May and June, fall off again In July and August, only to climb again in the fall I'suallv prices of hogs and pork chops follow this same pattern. Right now. for eumple, housewives ae complaining about prices of pork. The reason Is the low level of marketings. Most farmers breed their sows so that they will farrow in the spruig and eariy fall when the weather Is usually most favorable lor pigs. What Is needed, says, the depart ment, is a change in the breeding pattern so that more pigs will be bom in the late winter and more In the summer and hence fewer in the spring and fall. Both the fanner and the consu mer would benefit, says the depart ment. The fanner would average out somewhat higher prices than he now gets because then no longer would be a sharp price break Just at the time when he bas the most hogs to sell. The consumer no longer would have to pay very high prices in the late winter and late summer because there would be larger sup plies of meat at those times. To encourage farmers to spread out hog farrowings and marketings. the price support guarantee is high est In those seasons when hog mar keting; and pork supplies are us ually the smallest. This variable price support pat tern has been In effect for several years. But farmers have had ae experience with it because prices have been far above support levels. The sttualioa is expected to be different in the fall. A big Increase in last spring's pig crop as expected la be reflected in a heavy market run of bogs In the late fall and winter In fact so heavy that it may poll price below government sup port levels. Government officials believe the experience of having to sell hogs under the variable price support standard will lead many farmers to spread their future pig raising operations over a longer period of tune.

I Stockman To Aid With HopperWork Congressman Lowell Stockman of the second district of Oregon an nounced from Washington today that In an effort to aid In the fight against the tremendous horde of grasshoppers which has migrated Into Lake and Harney counties In Oregon from Nevsda, he has been working very closely with Ihe de partment of agriculture. The 11,750.000 emergency appro priation item for the control of this pest became a public law on Au gust g. Representative Stockman states "the department of agricul ture has assured me that sufficient funds will be msde available for the work In Oregon so that they believe Oregon can be protected from any further migration of Iheoe particu lar bands of locusts. Government workers are now putting poison bait on the range lands so that the grasshoppers can eat It, and Just as soon as they come out of the eggs next spring the department will make an intensive fight against them." The congressman added. "I un derstand that these migratory bands lay their eggs In high con centration in very small areas, and the department of agriculture ad vises me that by treating with chemicals a relatively few acres next spring, these bands ran be reduced In number to non-economic pro portions." The department of agriculture has assigned field men to the In fested area In Oregon, and they are cooperating with the local farmers In their control work on their lands. ahlle on the range lands ihe gov ernment is handling the problem entirely. Representative Stockman further explained that the program of the federal government la a flexible one, and since the type of govern ment cooperation to be given In Oregon will depend basically on the need of the area, he Is watching the situation In Oregon very closely. He said. "I am most hopeful of being able to prevent the Insects from spreading further Into Oregon, since the department of agriculture advises me they have had no ex tensive migrations In range sections of Montana and Wyoming where 3 900.000 acres have been treated."
