SHOULD MARKET
CORN CROP BY
FEEDING STOCK
COMMISSIONER, PECK ADVISES
FARMERS TO EATTEN BOTH
HOGS AND CATTLE.
HIGHER PRICES ARE EXPECTED
Surplus Supplies Accumulated During
the. War Have Now Been Disposed
Orleans Better limos for the
Farmers.
(Ffom Fridays Daily Herald.)
By r. +. PECK,

commissioners OF Agriculture
Farmers in Tennessee are gathering
a normal crop of corn this year, and
there has been a considerable carry
over of the 1920 crop of corn. The
corn crop throughout the country is
reported normal with considerable
carry-over from last year SO natu
rally there is no immediate prospect
for a good price for corn.
While that is true, we have an unus,
ual condition regarding the hog mar
ket, normally the price of corn and
hogs fluctuate together. | remember
as boy. when corn sold for so cents
bushel, bacon sold for 10 cents per
pound, The same relative prices will
not prevail during the coming year.
because we have normal crop of corn
with considerable carry-over and few
er hogs than at any time within my
memory. | know of very few sections
of the state which have enough hogs
to supply the local demand.
For the above reasons we may eX-
pect the market for hogs to be good.
The farmer who will buy brood sows
can in a short time grow pigs and
within the year produce meat that,
from present indications, Will sell for
a good price. In this way the farmer
can realize better price for his corn
than he could hope to secure by sell
ing the corn on the grain market,
Raising and feeding hogs gives the
| farmer quicker turnover for his crop
than in any other way.
Now that hogs can be immun.zed
from cholera and "hog1u,' there is not
the danger of loss there was before
preventive serums were perfected
With present prices for feeder
steers and the low prices for hay and
roughage, it would be well for farmers
to do some thinking and give some
|
rushing their feeder cattle onsthe mar
ket. Well informed cattle men agree
that by next springs'the market viii
justify carrying over cattle, and by
feeding on the farm much fertilizing
material could be retained If we OK.
pect to make money in live stock we
cannot get out of the game when
prices slump and get back in it when
prices are at their best We must get
good foundation stock, give them good
feed and attention, accept the lean
years when they come, and be ready
when the market is good to have
something to market.
Prices for farm products are going
to be better because tho supplies ac
cumulated during the war for the Eu
ropean market, and did not reach that
market because of the sudden endine
! of the war have by now been dispos
ed Of The dumping of the war sur
plus On the home market, and the
slowing UP of production because of
the low prices caused thereby, has
resulted in the depletion of the sur
plus. Another fact that will result
in increased prices for farm products
is that smaller per centaee of our
population than ever before is now en-
gagged in the production of food crops.
