Why a Hog Anyhow

City consumers, who are paying be-
fore unheard of prices for ham. lard,
bacon and other pork products. and
who have salved their injured flnan-
cial sense with the thought that the
farmer was at last getting rich. would
be surprised to discover that the hog
raiser says he is losing more money
at present prices than he has In years.
The government guarantee for sew
eral months has insured" a mini
mum price Of $3.50 for average
packers droves of hogs.
Instead OF this being the irreduc-
able minimum. 1t has been the seldom
attained maximum. and the average
paid by the packers the last 90 days
has been more frequently below $17
than It was above; and in several big
packing centers the top price for
fancy and prime hogs has been for
days as low as SIG.
So the hog grower hasn't been get
ting even the minimum.
But " he had. the sad fact re-
mains that at present feed prices he
would be still losing money.
On the governmental agreed ratio
of 13 pounds of corn to one of pork
the cost of the fat rn hog is about
500 hundred mounds
with the recent abnormal increase
in the Drice Of mill feeds. and with
tarkage and hacking house products
still held at ton levels. there are more
hogs that cost s22 hundred to fat
ten than there arp that cost less
than $50.
How then does the hog grower
keen from going broke?
He raises his own feed. and turns
II into his hogs for less than the
market would nav for the grain. And
besides throws in his time. interest on
the investment and depreciation on
the plant.
II one desires to meet the chan who
makes the profit he must confer with
the packers. the long line of middle
men. and the railroads.
Between the farmer and the cor
suuier no one Of the long list appears
to he doing business at loss. SO
bacon remains around the half dollar
mark and the farmer fs each month
marketing a few more of his brood
sows and getting from under.
American agriculture is organized
like an fnebriate asylum.

Tho council will reply to the Swiss sug-
gestion TINT It's entry INTO the league

The report on tho negotiations with
the Germans over the troop transport
tation question was laid before the
council By Generar Weigand. The re-
port revealed that the Germans had
