IOWA MARKETS PORK

."Betwaen. the dates of Jan. I, 1916
and Jan. /, 1919, there have been
|some rather significant changes in
pork production and marketing in the
various sections as well as in the
whole United States says w. j. Car
michael. secretary of the National
Swine Growers association
During this period we have had an
increase of almost 5 per cent in the
total number Of hogs on farms. In
spite of the general increase in num-
bers according to government esti.
mates, twelve states have had de.
creases for one reason or another.
an point of numbers, Iowa has had
a greater increase than any other
state, having added nearly 100000
head to its already tremendous lead
over the other states; Illinois, stand
ing second in total numbers, stands
second in point of total increase dur.
ing the past three years with an
added million and quarter, and
Minnesota ranks third in increase
with slightly, over 100000 head more
than were on farms Jan. /, 1916. Six
states each show an increase of over
100000 head during corresponding
period: Georgia, Mississippi Indiana,
Ohio, Florida and Alabama r
"Of marked Importance in consider
ing the various factors in marketing
is the tendency to put hogs on markets
at heavier weights. During 1916. the
average weight Of hogs in Chicago was
30 pounds; in 1917, 213 pounds; in
1918, 234 pounds; or an increase of
over 10 per cent in weight as com.
pared with 1916 in which year the
hogs at this one market went to the
.shambles at the lightest yearly aver
age weights on record. Ill.,.
"Prices have shown greater CORE.
spending change than either number
or weight. In 1916 the average price
at Chicago for all grades was $3.50;
in 1917, $15.10; in 1918, $F.45. These
prices seem very high as compared
with the lowest yearly average on
record. $3.50. in 1896; or the prevail
ing average 1of $5.15 in 1904, which is
lower, than any since that date. paH#4

farms, f75,5S7 ,O00a hogs, in the United
