The reduction in sows bred this
fall for spring farrow compared to a
year ago is indicated at around 2 mil
lien head in the corn belt. These will
go to increase the winter market sup

next summer and fall, thus making
the decreased supplies of the market

HOG SHORTAGE FOR l925-26 IS
PREDICTED BY u. S. STATISTICIANS

Washington, DEC, Jan. 2O.-A hog
production in 1926 probably as small
as in any year in the last ten, and an
acute shortage of hog products in
1926 are indicated in the December l
pig survey made by the United States
department of agriculture in coopera
ton with the postoffice department,
through the rural carriers.
The survey shows a decrease cf
28.2 per cent in the number of sows
narrowing in the fall of 1924 in the
country as q whole from the number
Sarrowed in the fall of 1928. Be
cause of a somewhat higher average
number of pigs saved per litter the
decrease in pigs is only 22.2 per cent
For the corn belt the decrease in sews
farrcwed was 30.6 per cent, and in
pigs saved was 23.4 per cent. De-
sreases in the other regions while
large, were somewhat less than in
the corn belt.
The number Of sows bred scr to be
bred to farrow in the spring Of 1925
is shown as 94:s per cent 81 the NUN

Crystals r fast becoming unpOpu-
tar as detectors and rectifers Of radio
waves Except for its use in reflex
circuits, the crystal is now used only
by those who cannot afford the more
expensive vacuum tube.
The main reason for the neglect Of
the crystal is the fact that crystals
have a limited receiving range, except
under very favorable conditions. An
other reason for the unpopularity of
the crystal Is that most crystal cir
cults do not provide sufficient selec-
tiVity and the different brOadcasting
stations interfere" with each other
in the set.
Were 1t not for these two disadyan-
tRges, crystals would be even more
widely used than vacuum tubes for
radio reception. In the first place.
crystals are very much cheaper to buy
and to replace than tubes. Secondly.

belt. Based upon the results of pre-
vious surveys, which have shown
about how much the number of sows
farrowed has fallen snort of breeding
intentions, the present survey indi-
Gates a reduction of from Is to %
per cent in sows that will falrow in
the corn belt in the spring of 1925
from the spring of 1924. For the
country as a whole a somewhat SINH
lar reduction is indicated.
The reduction of 2S.4 per cent L
the fall crop in the corn belt follows
the reduction of over II per cent in
the spring crop shown by the survey
of last june. The total number of
pigs raised in the corn belt in 1924
was probably fully IS per cent less
than in 1928. QuantitiyeIy this rep
resents a reduction from 1923 of be-
tween II million and u million head,
.aroun0 74amillion ia the sprihg crop
and 100000 in the fall crop. But
IN spite Of the large reduction IN num-
lbers born the market movement to

the movement to the same
