OPEN PRICE BEST
Closed Market Not Good for
Producer, Says Shipper.
StOckyards Hearing
Continues mt Kansas City.

Kansas City, March s1.-Testimeny
that he shipped hogs 10 the Mistletoe
stockyards here from 1919 until a few
month ago when he decided ''he was
not getting what was coming to him"
was given by ]. c. McCombs. stock
raiser of Cameron, Mo, at todays
hearing by the federal department of
agriculture of charges of alleged I'M
fair practices brought against Armour
4 Company and the Fowler Packing
company, operators of the yards, by
the local livestock exchange and
others.
About two months ago, McCombs
said, he received notice not to ship
any more hogs to the Mistletoe yards
as the territory had been awarded to
another.
When he first began to ship hogs
to Mistletoe, the witness said, he found
it more profitable than shipping to
the open market, and added that
when Competition was eliminated at
Cameron" he did not get such good
prices as the shrinkage increased
He said that one of his last ship
ments loaded at noon on Saturday was
not unloaded here until $40 a. m.
the following Monday. He telephoned
the yards, he said, and asked that the
hogs be fed but was told that the
yards were not doing any feeding. He
said there was a 1,240-pound shrink
age on the load.
McCombs said he thought the open
market was better than the closed one
for the producer.
