A net increase OF 14.5 per cent in
the number Of young pigs produced
this spring in the Corn Belt states Is
shown I'm special pig survey just
completed by the United States De
partment of Agriculture. This In
crease may overcome the present
shortage of meat stocks, the depart
ment states.
The survey shows a gross Increase
OF Dos per cent in the number Of
spring lltters this year as compared
with the number of litters born last
spring, but the average number of
pigs saved per litter Is per cent less
than last spring. The April l brood

ed a net increase Of 1876 per sent In
pig production this spring over last
year.
The department points out that
stocks of pork products other than
lard I'm storage May are 33 per cent
less than the fiveyea average and 20
per cent less than year ago. Lard
stocks May l were 16 per cent less
than the iive-year average and 81 per

Of other meats are correspondlngly
