The reports published by us Of pork
packing in the West, last January and
February, indicated quite clearly what
the.crop will be, and near enough TO what
has been She sexual result for all practi-
cal purposes, as the figures we are now
about 70 give viii show. These facts and
estimates we're published SO that the trade
might know what TO expect, and to as
sist Ill 10 make its estimates regarding
the future.
We, having since collected the complete
returns from all tue packing places in the
West of any note, together with the aver
age weight, will now make our twenty
second annual report Of the crop.
Il win be shown that the increase is q
large one. In 1923 the whole number
packed was 4,0S4,5s2, and the average
weight 2l5 lbs. This season the packing
is, rs we give below, 3,677.9 eos, with an
average weight Of 250l7 lbs, so that the
