cost factors. The entire herd was
used as q basis for cost finding. all
the expenses ON the SOW being divided
among the pigs in her litter. The
principal causes of low profits were
the small filters weaned, excessive la
Dor and feed expense, and slightly
lower gain per head. Tankage form
cd an important part of the rations OF
the economical pork.
Big Range In Figures
The average csst of the total guam
tity of pork produced, or SS2,7oo
pounds, which included 27.8l2 pounds
lost later through death, was $S.SS
with range Of 1915 on the farm
making the cheapest pork, to $l0.4S
on the farm showing the highest costs.
Thirty-nine Of the 81 farms upon
which cost figures were kept showed
costs between $4.00 and $500.
The farm averaging the smallest
filters, or two pigs to the SOW, made
473 pounds of pork per litter in 200
days. The farm making the highest
record made 1,759 pounds of pork per
litter in 200 days from an average OF
7.27 pigs weaned per sow. Two farms
producing an average Of eight pigs per
SOW produced 1915 pounds and Labs
pounds per SOW, respectively.
Cost of Producing Pigs.
The average cost Of producing a
weaned pig, 10 weeks Of age, was $3.50.
Figures were kept on 796 spring lit
tiers. The cost of producing a weaned
pig varied from S2.73 in the breeding
herd having the lowest cost per pig
to $1016 per pig in the drove having
the highest cost. These costs inciud-
ed all feed and other expenses upon
the mothers from the time Of sorting
the sows in the fall to be bred to the
date of weaving; also the feed anu
other costs ON the boar while on the
| farm.
While no attempt was made to find
the cost Of pigs at narrowing time. the
report shows the influence that the Sc
lection Of s0ws and condition OF the
narrowing pen haze upon the size Of
litters, and the number of pigs brought
through alive, the department states.

Principal Cause OF High Cost

The average cost Of producing 100

OF Iowa and Illinois in 1927 was S6.OS,
according to a cost of production study
made by the United States Department
of Agriculture on 3.574 spring pigs

This pork was produced when corn
was relatively cheap last year. The

ranged from 1910, in one drove, to

COUNTY TO AID
FLOOD VICTIMS
Red Cross Makes appeal for
Funds in Hamilton
County for use in
Relief.
BANKS ARE TO HELP
Those Wishing to Contribute

A plea for financial assistance in
carrying on relief work in struggling
communities made destitute by floods
in the valleys of the Illinois. Ohio and

the American Red Cross to all chapters
IN the country.

ing to contribute to this humanita rian
call are urged to make their cOntribn-

Is Peace Time Program.
In line with its peace time program
which calls for immediate assistance
at times of disaster. the Red Cross has
quickly organized relief work with the
heln of local committees ut many places
IN Illinois and on the Mississippi river
south of st. Louis. particularly in the
states of Arkansas, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
The first needs have been met by ma
tional headquarters appropriations
of approximately 100000. Becan use
of the havoc wrought by the floods is
so widespread. however. and the num-
Der of people left without food or cloth
