Farm Disaster

a MEXICAN dinner tables had
"A more meat on them last year
than at any time in the last fifteen
years. Nearly 1871 billion pounds
were consumed. More than half
Of It was pork.
Data compiled by the Bureau Of
Animal Industry OF the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
shows that not only was the con-
sumption of meat-1G7 pounds per
capitalize largest since 1908, but
the consumption of pork reached
the record total Of over 10 billion
pounds. This was more than u
pounds per person. Two years ago
the average per capita consunlp-
ton Of pork was little under ~
pounds and in 1922 about 7G
pounds.
The situation reveals that q re-
cord-brcaking number of hogs were
sold by American farmers and that
the national packers noC only
bought them as they came, pre-
venting a ruinous break in prices

greater volume of hog products to
consumers than ever before.
In this connection the Bureau Of
Animal Industry sayS:
1.-THE severe depression of 1920
1891 when raising hogs was a los
ing business, was followed in 1929
by rising prices for hogs. together
with a big surplus Of corn. Thus
was brought about the inevitable
cycle Of MISREPRESENTATION and
production which has been
the history Of hog raising ever
since corn and hogs and prices be-
came related with one another on
q scale of magnitude.
ut viii be recalled that corn be-
came so abundant and cheap that
it was iii some places used for
fuel and at the same time market
prices os hogs took an upward
tre~ Hence, hoe breeders soon
became busy, with the result that
marketing increased app~eciabIy in
1922 and in 1899 reached O
height never before APPROACHED.

WASHED eggs SPOIL
SOON SAY EXPERTS
If Eggs Are Dirty Don't Wash
Them, But Accept Lower
Price When Marketing

ATLANTA, April 80.-If eggs
arc dirty, don't wash them, is the
advice Of the United State depart
mont Of agriculture to operators of
poultry farms and others who sell
eggs. Washed eggs deterioate more
rapidly than unwashed and dctcc-
zion Of a few washed eggs may
cause buyers to penalibe the ell
tire lot, it was stated.
Unusually large quantities Of
washed eggs are reported ibis
spring, the department says. AL
though dirty eggs are discounted in
price, washing eggs viii generally
cause producers a greater loss.
Only clean, unwashed, high-quali-
ty eggs bring top prices. Produc-
ton of clean eggs is accomplished
by keeping house floors and nests
clean, gathering the eggs daily and
keeping the laying hens, during
muddy weather, in dry quarters
until afternoon when most Of the
eggs will have been laid.
Producers, as a rule, will find it
more profitable to use the soied
eggs on the farm and 10 market
only the best quality product, The
department says.
