| Stock Sale Authority
WON byGasC Company;
Price YET 10 Be Fixed

The Public Utilities Commission
today approved an application OF
the Washington Gas Light Co. for
authority to sell 100000 shares OF
common stock without par value,
subject to final approval of the price
of the offering.
The price will be submitted for
commission approval next Tuesday,
company officials said, with public
announcement the following day II
it Is approved.
Proceeds from the stock sale will
be used for extensions and enlarge
ments Of the gas company's facili-
ties to meet the needs Of new GUS
toners, the application said.
Robert C. Overs, vice president
and treasurer Of the company, told
the commission the stock issue also
was considered necessary to balance
the company's bonded Indebtedness,
which is now, he said, somewhat
over so per cent of the total cap
IitaliZation.
Mr.. Overs did not disclose the
price to be set for the stock issue,
stating it had not been finally de-
termined. Present market value Of
the company's common stock is
about s24 per share. The company
now has $4,000 shares of common
stock outstanding, valued at s23,-
$4,000, as compared to $27, 1886, 900
in bonds.
Mr.. Overs submitted to the COM
mission a tentative estimate of the
value of the new stock issue at
81, 100000. This is based on the
current market value of present
shares.
First opportunity to purchase the
new shares will be given to present
stockholders, at the rate of one
share of the new issue for each
five shares Of common stock now
held. Shares not purchased by pres
ent stockholders will be offered to
the public.
In today's action, the PUG also
granted the company's request for
a waiver of the rule requiring COM
petitive bidding in the sale of Sc
curities by utilities under its juris-
diction.
Chairman James H. Flanagan
conducted the hearings.

increased Pig Crop
Urged for Spring
Due to More Corn

u. S. farmers are urged by the
Secretary of Agriculture to plan
for a spring crop of 60,000,000
pigs, which would be the third
largest number of pigs farrowed
in any one spring. The national
total in 1942 was 81, 100000 pigs,
and the all-time record of 74,000,-
900 spring pigs was set in 1943.
The upturn of II per cent in the
1949 spring pig crop, as COM
pared with l948, would allow a
per capita consumption of $50
pounds of all meat next year. The
average amount of meat con-
sumed per person this year will
be about las pounds, and that
total is considerably greater than
the prewar average yearly ration
of meat for each person.
The big corn crop is causing
lower prices for feed grains SO
the corn-hog ratio now is con-
siderably more favorable for the
pork producer than it hasN been
for the past two years. The l948
corn crop will feed out more hogs
than 60,0O0,000 goal set for spring
pigs, but farmers do not have
enough brood sows and gifts to
farrow pigs enough to eat all the
corn.
Rural economists at Ohio State
University say that meat prices
are tied closely to total industrial
employment and to the working
mans wage scale. The present
outlook is for a continuation of
present payrolls and of present
wage scales through the period
when the next spring pig crop
will be marketed, so 1949 pork
production looks like good en-
terprise for Ohio farmers.
Animal busbandry specialists at
the University claim that Ohio
farmers have a little break on
weather conditions so they can
have pigs farrowed earlier than
in some other parts of the corn
belt. The specialists explain early
pigs can be made ready for mar
ket in late August or early Sept
ember if that course seems advis-
able next summer.
The Union County journal. [volume] (Marysville, Ohio) 1875-1951, 1948-10-11

Keep the deal in strong
hands, is the advice to Ohio
farmers by rural economists at
Ohio State University, when
asked about future prices for
cereals, feed grains, and soybeans.
The economists explain that no
person can accurately predict
what feed and grain prices will
be six months from now, but
every farmer can be certain the
market situation will be most
favorable for producers if the
commodities are kept in strong
hands.
Government loans and pur.
chase agreements are available
on wheat, corn, and soybeans, and
the loans and purchase rate re-
present the go per cent of parity
values placed upon some farm
commodities by Congress. The
loans can be obtained or the pur-
chase agreements made if the
farmer provides safe storage
space for grain or soybeans.
Both the purchase agreement
and the loan agreement permit
the farmer to market the COM
modify on the open market dur
ing the period of the agreement
if that action is advantageous to
the farmer. The government act
ion in agreeing to purchase or in
making loan is simply issuing
the farmer an insurance policy
that he always can obtain at least
the amount per bushel specified
in the contract.
The insurance strengthens the
farmers hands in the l948-4S
marketing of wheat, corn, ano
soybeans. Indiscriminate dumping
of corn, wheat, or soybeans on the
market might break prices con,
siderably below the 80 per cent
of parity level. A large part of the
l948 corn crop will be made into
pork which will not reach mar.
ket before November, l949, anc
the cheapest place to hold corr
is in farm cribs.
The government purchase a.
greementS and loans are avail.
able to farmers who have accept.
