MANY HOGS SOLD FOR

Feed Crops should Dc Utilized For

stoek Must % Kept

Farmers have been advised to plant
an abundance Of feed crops; and the
only successful way to market such
crops Is to use them for finishing on
live stock II the stock Is sold before
the crops are produced. It defeats the
very purpose for which the crops
were planted. Since the prices for
hoxe have gone 80 high. buyers have
invaded many parts Of Louisiana and
are purchasing all the hogs they can
get at prices approximating haR the
value Of butcher hogs ON the market.
The prices paid have ranged nom 8
cents to 3 or . cents . pound and
many OF those hogs have been suose
quently sold at from IL to Is cents

and then cannot sell the crop. II will

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1917-04-26

The shippers of the country act in
strangely contradictory manners. Last
fall, when the nationwide railroad
strike was threatened, they besought
congress TO act in order to avert the
danger. The result was the Adamson
law, which has now been upheld, after
the railroads had agreed to accept 1t
regardless Of the court s decision. The
application Of the Adamson law means
higher wages. These can be paid only
If the revenue of the railroads is sufh
cicnt. Sufficient revenue can be secured
only by raising the rates. THESE
things are automatic. Yet the shippers
who. last fall, clamorcd for action tc
avert the strike, are now tlocking tC
the interstate commerce commission t
oppose the petition of the railroads TO
higher rates to raise the revenue to pay
the increased rates.
