Pig Crop May Make
Thicker Ham Slices

Maybe ham can be sliced little
thicker late next fell and winter;
but Guy w. Miller, specialist in
farm management, Ohio State Uni
versity, says the increase of the 1947
spring pig crop over that of 1946
is not enough to permit cutting
many more slices per- person than
consumers have been eating.
/ Unfavorable weather all across
the cornbelt and heavy death losses
from disease in some localities held
down the number of u. S. pigs saved
per litter to an average of 81, which
is the lowest since 1910. Ohio farm
ers did a little better than the ma
tional average by bringing through
GA pigs per litter but that number
is less than the long time average
for the state.
Farmers in the u. S. had seven
per cent more sows farrow this
spring than in the spring of l946 but
the total of So, Isl 900 pigs saved this
spring is only is per cent higher
than the 1916 spring pig crop. Farm
erS reported on June l intentions to
keep eight per cent more sows for
fall farrowing in Ohio and II per
cent more in the cornbelt than in
the fall of 1916.
Mr.. Miller says estimates of meat
production in 1947 place the total
at the fourth highest on record, due
to expected heavy slaughter of beef
and veal. If each person gets his
share of the 1947 total, he will have
153 pounds of meat this year. The
prewar average consumption was
126 pounds of meat per person per
year.
Consumer demand for meat is
brisk enough to keep meat moving
out of storage about as fast as it is
ready for consumption. The supply
of meat this summer is likely to be
better than during the same season
a year ago because hogs did not
move to market normally during
July, 1946.

National Editorial Association Releases
Circulation Figures For Ohio Weeklies

The Newspaper Advertising Serv-
ice, an affiliate of the National
Editorial Association has just is
sued their 1947 directory of weekly
newspapers in the United States,
giving the circulation and advertis-
ing rates of thousands of papers.
Figures from the Ohio list of week
lies may be interesting as matter
of comparison as advertising rates
are based on bona fide circulation.
In Noble county, two papers are
listed, including the Journal and the
Noble County Leader According to
the directory, the Journal has a
sworn circulation of 3,263 with a
national advertising rate of AZ cents
per inch, while the Leader with the
same national rate has sworn cir
culation of 843. These figures are
based on the sworn statement re-
quired last October by the u. S.
postoffice department.
In Monroe county, at Woodsfield,
the Beacon has the largest circula-
ton, sworn 4,700, national rate 40
cents per inch, while over in Bel
mont county, the Barnesville Enter
prise with ABC circulation of 1857
has 45 cent national rate.
The Beverly Dispatch is listed as
having a sworn circulation of 1000
and national rate of 80 cents.
AT McConnelsville, the Morgan
County Herald is listed in the new
directory with an ABC circulation
of 4,405 and a national rate of As
cents an inch.
Down in Vinton county, whose
population in 1940 was ll,573 or
almost 5000 less than Noble county,
there are two papers listed, The
Democrat Enquirer and The Repub-
lican Tribune, with sworn circul-
ations of 2,321 and 1850 respectively
and national advertising rates of 49
cents for the Enquirer and 40 cents
for the Tribune.
There are only few weeklies in
the state of Ohio, listed as ABC or
Audit Bureau of Circulation, mean
ing exactly what the name implies
Each member is subject to ar
audit of its subscriptions by a CPA
employed by the bureau who counts
the number of bonafide paid in ad.
vance subscriptions, which are showr
as the ABC circulation of the paper
The initial audit of the Journal
by the Audit Bureau of Circulation
was completed several weeks ago by
a certified public accountant but
final approval will be made from
their main office in Chicago, Ill.
In comparison, although the
Journal ranks high with the other
weeklies in the state of Ohio as fan
as circulation figures are concerned
it is still low in the cost of advert.
ising, particularly in the nationa.
advertising figure.
