HOGS AND CORN

Argus-Leader - According to word
from the western part of the state,
some corn raisers from this section are
securing the country for alfalfa-fed
hogs to turn them into the cornfields
over here and thus save the price they
would have to pay for picking the corn.
This is held out as one solution Of the
present emergency Of low prices,
money stringency and shortage Of corn
pickers. Which is fair enough for all
except those farmers who are unable
to raise the price Of the hogs at this
minute.
Seemingly hard times and distress
sometimes have their brighter sides
and result in ultimate benefit to those
who believe themselves the hardest
hit. For man often does not reach his
capacity or develop possible new ave-
nues of activity. until so hard pressed
that he must either use his wits or
give up. 1t would not be SO very sur
prising IL the present conditions re-
suited in a far greater production in
South Dakota of the prolific and valu-
able asset to farming, the hog. 1t is
estimated that Is bushels of corn are
required to fatten a hog to 225 to
24O pounds. which at the market price
of $6.75 per hundred pounds, would
bring $3.50 or a little over $1.0O per
bushel return from the Is bushels of
corn fed to 1t.
Using Is cents a bushel as the mar
ket price Of shelled corn. this means
that the South Dakota corn crop of
111,318,O00 bushels this year, would
be worth SIG. 697, 900 as grain or SILL
900 900 in hogs as 1t would feed about
1000, 900 hogs or about 80 to each of
the 77.644 farms in the state.
OF course this Is speculative but 1t
shows something Of the possibilities
for the increase of hog raising In South
Dakota at the present time and there
are doubtless farmers who
are giving it serious consideration with
an eye to the future.
