What Iowa Men Recommended.

The recommendations of Mr.. Hunt
and his associates on the committee
and which affect the owners of 100,-
100000 hogs in this state follows:
1T is recognized that the food adj
ministration has no power to fix the
price of hogs or corn, and can only
influence the hog price SO far as the
volume of controlled orders for the
army, navy, allies and export trade
will absorb the surplus production. If
prices should go SO high as to cur
tail consumption at home and abroad
then in this event the sterilization of
prices during the next winter would
be likely to fail, with disaster to the
producer. On the other hand, it must
be recognized that the costs of pro-
duction are necessarily greatly in
creased. and that to maintain produc-
ton fair returns must be assured to
the farmer. 1t is, therefore, in the
fundamental interest of the producer
and consumer that both extreme high
and low prices should be guarded
against.
"In order effectually to carry out
the above policy of the food admins
tration, it is recommended that in
dealing with the packer in respect to
the co-ordinated purchase of pork
products that directions should If
necessary include a definite price
basis in advance from month to
month for the packers purchase of
hogs, upon which such orders will be
based.
What Is Average Price Of Corn.
1T is recommended by the COM
mfttee that the average cost per
bushel of corn for the purpose of de.
termining the price of hogs be con.
sidered as the average farm value
of corn or the average selling price
of corn at local railroad stations as
determined by the. department of
agriculture, and that the general corn
figures be arrived at by taking these
averages and weighing them accord
ing to production over the eight lead.
ing hog and corn producing states for
a period of five months preceding the
month the hogs are marketed, or
prior to the month for which direc.
lions are given to the packers. The
price of hogs should be calculated on
the average of packers droves at
Chicago.
TO illustrate: Based upon the
prices of corn figured or the above
basis during the last five months.
and a general survey of market and
consumption conditions, it was agreed
that fair price Interpretation of the
ratio for the month Of October would
be an average price, for the average
of packers droyes, of about SIS. so
per hundred pounds at Chicago. It
cannot be expected that the day to
day market prices, with the fuctuat-
ing flow of demand and supply, can
be maintained at any fixed and def
mite figures, but that it should be the
aim to maintain about an average
during the month"

stock, and it's associates, who con-
ferred with the food administration
in regard to the commercial methods
to be followed in Interpreting the adj
ministration policy liked last Novem-
Der with regard to the price of hogs.
The policy announced was as follows:
THE prices so far as we can effect
them will not be below a minimum of
about $3.50 per hundred weight for
the average of packers drove on the

AS to hogs narrowed next spring

price so that the farmer can count

misunderstanding of this statement.
