PRICES OF HOGS
United States Food Administrator
Meat Division
Chicago, November 8, 1917.

Chicago. November 8. 1917.
Joseph p. Cotton. chief of the
U. s. Food Administration meat d.
vision. today issued the following
statement relative to the price Of
hogs:
The main purpose Of the Food Ad
ministration as to hogs are four: To
see that the producer at all times
can count on fair price for his hogs
SO that It will be profitable to him;
to see that the farmer increases the
number OF hogs bred; to limit the
profit Of the packer and the middle
man and to eliminate speculation.
All these purposes are necessary
because We must have more hogs, so
that the ultimate consumer shall at
all times get an adequate supply OF
hogs @. the lowest feasible price.
We shall establish rigid control of
the packer. Fair prices to the farm
er for his hogs. we believe, will be
brought about by the full control
which the Food Administration has
over the buying Of the s, Allies. our
Arr,y and Navy. the Red Cross. the
Belgian Relief and the neutrals
which together CONSTITUTES consid-
erable factor in the market.
The first step is to stop the sudden
break in prices paid for hogs at the
central markets. These prices must
become stable so that the farmer
knows where he stands. and will feel
justified in increasing hogs for next
winter. The prices so far as we can
AFFECT them will not 60 below min.
mum OF about $3.50 per hundred
weight for the average Of the pack
ers' droves on the Chicago market
until further notice.
We have had, and shall have, the
advice Of a board composed Of prac'
tical hog growers and experts. Thai
board advises that the best yardstict
to measure the cost Of production OF
the hog Is the cost Of corn. Thai
board further advises that the ratio
of corn price to hog price on the av'
erage over q series OF years has beer
about twelve to one (or little less)
In the past, when the ratio has gone
Hover than twelve to one. the stoci
Of hogs In the country has decreased
When It was higher than twelve. the
hogs have Increased. That board ha,
given It's judgment that to bring the
stock OF hogs back to normal undel
present conditions the ratio should
be about thirteen. Therefore. as Il
the hogs farrowed next spring. We
will try to stabilize the price SO tha
1.-The farmer can count on getting fol
each 100 pounds Of hog ready fol
market. thirteen times the average
cost per bushel OF the corn fed intt
the hogs.
Let there be no misunderstood
ing OF this statement. 1t is not {
guarantee backed by money. 1t !.
not q promise by the packers. II is
statement of the intention and polio,
lof the Food Administration which
means to do justice to the farmer.
