Clifford Pinchot, head Of the live
stock division of the food cabinet, is
urging a fixed minimum price for
hogs at all central markets. The
price, he says, should be based on the
Chicago market for cash corn during
the period in which it is consumed.
He recommends that one hundred
pounds of live hog in Chicago shall
equal not less than fourteen bushels Of
cash corn. He also proposes a system
of differentials by which a liberal pre-
MUM will be paid on finished hogs
weighing more than 225 pounds. He
bases his recommendations on resolu-
tiOns adopted at a recen meeting of
swine r~aisers, held at Waterloo, Iowa.
They propose hat the food admins
t%ration, through an appointed commits
sion of experienced men. ascertain the
cost of hog production, allowing a lib
eral amount to cover the risk from
disease, the cost to be measured from
a bushel of corn. What we want to
know is how the count would come
when alfalfa, barley and our other
mountain feeds are showed into the
hopper.
