HOGS SHOULD INCREASE In PRICE

ed conclusively that the spring crop in
1928 was the largest ever raised in the
corn belt. 1t was probably around two
million head larger than in 1922,
which was the second largest crop
ever raised. With the beginning of
the packing year of 1923, the produc-
lion, exporting, domestic consumption
and slaughter of hogs established new
records.
Records this spring show about a
II per cent reduction in brood sows
on farms in the corn belt. If the av-
erage corn outlook results in the low
yield indicated and history repeats
itself, there should be fewer hogs in
the corn belt next spring.
The cycle of rise and fall of hogs
should be held up just little this
fall because of the marketing of hogs
due to short corn crop. This would
mean, in all probability, that hogs
would rise in price next year. An OPP
portunity may then present itself for
a farmer who is able to produce hogs
for next years and the following
years market to make some money
on hogs. He should always remember
that the price cycle is approximately
sixty months.
The safest procedure for a man
raising hogs is to keep about the same
number on hand every year, and when
the price of hogs is high there is
chance to make a good profit. Too
many farmers go into farm com
modify when the commodity has just
about reached the high price in the
cycle. Thus they are ready to sell
when prices are dropping rapidly and
aid in an already overlooked supply.
This forces the price still lower, en-
couraging other farmers to go out of
business. This in turn makes for ex-
tremely high prices at the highest
point of the cycle
The fluctuating prices Of farm prod
ucts rise and fall in cycles. Potatoes
and poultry have short cycle; hogs
have a medium long cycle; and 9th
ers, like dairying, beef cattle and
horses, have a long cycle.

We have reached the bottom of the
price cycle in hogs. Judging from the
past history of hog prices, We may ex-
pect a gradual increase in prices of
hogs and hog products. For about
two years hogs should be relatively
high compared to the average of 9th
er farm commodities, says r. N. Mil
Ter, extension specialist in farm man
agement at the State College of Wash
ington.
The low price for the last two years
has checked the expansion of the in
dustry and the present increase in
value will now start to eXpend the in
dustry. Hogs were high in 1919, high
Ell than they had been for some time.
Since then they have gradually de-
clined in price until the middle of this
year, when they rose very quickly.
Hogs usually fan and rise in price
for cycles Of from one to three years
each, making complete price cycle
in approximately sixty months. The
prices OF hogs have increased and de.
clined with startling regularity for the
past fifty years, with a period of high
prices about every five years.
| The corn crop of the country some
times affects the price of hogs. 1t is
expected that the production of corn
in Iowa will be reduced at least &c
per cent and possibly more from nor
NAL this year. Records show that
there will be a large production OF
] soft corn this fall. The spring pigs
Twill be used to save this soft corn
and relatively little will be used for
the fall pigs and for the 1925 farrow-
ings.
| AS a result Of this, the price of corn
| in Iowa is around 81 bushel and
higher. The markets will receive a
heavy run of hogs, which, however,
are being disposed of at higher
price than year ago. The packers
seem to want more hogs, and they
have advanced the price of pork prod
ucts ahead of the advance on the hog
market.
The market of hogs in May indicat-

RUNNING OUT DISEASES OF POTATOES\

visibility of using good potato seed
and OF using precautions against loss
by the running out diseases of pota-
toes, says George L. Iundel, exten-
sion specialist in plant diseases at the
State College OF Washington. While
IL is too late at harvest time to pro
duce good potato seed, a lesson can be
learned which will improve the seed
for next year.
The real cause of running out OF
potatoes is group Of virus diseases

some virus in the sap which is trans

onstrations in the state the usA or
certified seed is giving results that
range from 25 to 200 per cent better
than the common seed. The yields
will be as much better proportionately
as the seed improvement.
After attending field demonstra-
tons many potato growers see that 1t
would have paid them TO use certified
seed, even at 500 a ton. AS a matter
of fact, there Is much common seed
sold every year at an equal or great
er price than that of certified seed.
Growers are warned against plant
ing any potato seed that is sold on
the common market, no matter how
small their potato patch may be.
While common seed potatoes are eX-
cellent for table stock, they are not
good for seed. The safest method is
to get in touch with the county agent
and have him assist in locating a
source of good certified seed.

$24,5OO COMPROMISE
IN SURETY BOND CASE
Court Orders Receiver of U. S.

Justice Hitz of the District Supreme
Court yesterday authorized William X

offers of compromise made by the
Massachusetts Bonding & Insurance
Co. to pay s24.s00 in settlement of the
company's liability under a bond of
100000 as surety for Tucker N
Sands, former receiver of the defunct
trust company. The corporation
known as Bradley Hills, Inc, which is
interested in the litigation, took ex-
ception to the order of the court and
noted an appeal to the Court of APP
peals.
Recently Herbert L. Davis, auditor
of the District Supreme Court, filed
a report In which he held the former
receiver, Sands, to be responsible for
a deficit of $4,000 in the funds of the
United States Trust Co., and suggest
ed that suit be brought against his
surety. The court directed Receiver
Quinter to sue, but the compromise
now makes that unnecessary.
When he receives the s24.500, the
