Besides demonstrating the super
ior efficiency of the two-litter svs-
tenn, the study showed that there is
z regular increase in corn consumed
when pigs are fed to heavier
weights. In other word, it took on
an average, less feed to produce the
FIRST 50 pounds of pork than it
took TO produce the second. and
less 10 produce the second than the
third, and SO on. Thus, To raise
herd Of pigs averaging 125 rounds

corn for each 100 pounds of hog.

TACT IS USED
IN TRYING TO
COLLECT DEBTS

WASHINGTON, May %. : The
United States government in ap-
preaching its debtors with re-
quest that they take steps to settle
their obligations TO this country, is
approaching each nation as an ihdi-
vidual. 1t was officially denied to
the United Press today by high
state department official that a
circular note had been dispatched
to the debtor powers, as reported.
On the contrary, It was asserted,
different approaches are made to
each country, the financial situa-
tions of the respective governnH~lts
bong taken into consideration and
the department considers this phase
of its action highly important and
not to be misunderstood.

amount Of feed necessary to prs
duee each hundredweight of hog
was 1862 pounds.
Reduced costs of production have
obviously tho same effect on pro,

is strikinglv demonstrated bv the
department in nm analysis of effects
of production costs on profits Pro
duction cost varied widely on the
farms studied The cost Ia 1921
range from $3.07 to $l3.55 per 100
pounds of hog. Profits in the low

for 100 pounds. compared with a
loss of $5.27 per pounds in the high
est cost group In 1922 the range
Of costs WIS from S4S6 10 $l0.02
per hundreds pounds of hog. Farm
ers in the low-cost group made a
profit of S296 a hundred pounds,
whereas those in the high-eost group
suffered loss Of S204 per hundred
pounds. 1t was shown that each
increase in costs means distinct
decrease in profits and decrease
in the return for each bushel of
corn fed.
