DROUGHT MAY CAUSE
SCARCITY OF LARD
Shortage Of Corn to Feed Pigs
Would Cut Down Production
of Fat.
n The Associated Press

NJ the Associated Press
CHICAGO, August 2.-Acute scarcity
az lard is threatened as q result OF the
Nation wide drought menacing the
corn crop.
II. B. Godfrey, provision trade au-
tfority, said today: THE disaster which
has overtaken the corn crop has di-
rect and very strong influence on the
lard market Farmers will not breed
late Fall and Spring pigs If there is a
famine of feeding material on the farm.
That appears to be the exact situation
now.
..The result Of this may be put into
che statement No corn, no lard. Other
grain and feeds can be substituted for
corn In maintenance of animal vitsor,
but under our system of producing hogs,
and particularly lard hogs. We have
nothing to take the place Of corn.
Young and growing animals can build
muscle on q feed Of wheat, but it is not
at al satisfactory as substitute for the
production Of fat.
stocks Of lard in Chicago are 50,000,-
900 pounds less than at this time a year
