/ Don't be fooled by SIS hogs,
says Frank Webster county eX-
tension agent.
They nearly always 60 up in
July and August because mark
ct supplies are scarce then. They
usually come down in the fall
when the spring pigs come to
market. And this year the. fall
and winter drop is expected to
be earlier and sharper than us.
ual because the spring pig crop
was Is per cent larger than last
year and the largest in any
peacetime year.
For the consumer, the agent
pointed out, that means the sup
ply of pork per person will be
one of the largest ever.
Furthermore, Webster said,
the feed grain outlook means
hog producers in Washington
will have. to depend more than
ever on by-product feeds, dam
aged grain, and pasture in the
months ahead.
That's because the large corn
crop in the midwest will make
the crop a cheap livestock feed
back there. and at the same
time feed grains will be scarcer
in the northwest, where the bar.
ley crop is estimated at 81 per
cent smaller than last year and
oats are up only slightly. Good
grade wheat is priced out OF
the feed class.
Corn is moving into the north.
west now at more than 100 cars
per week and prices at Portland
and Seattle have been running
a little above $50 ton. BY next
winter corn is likely to be down
to 81 a bushel in parts Of the

The future also looks like

Fight
Against
Disease

With the organized livestock
forces of the United States lined
up in a concerted effort to eradi.
cate brucellosis Bangs disease
OF cattle) there are a few out
standing points which form the
general objective, Frank Webster,
county agent, says. He lists them
as follows:
CD Infection with brucellosis
can be eliminated from our en-
tire livestock population if avail.
able means are utilized together
to best advantage.
ca Brucellosis is a disease in
which the main reservoir of in.
lection to both men and animals
is found in domestic livestock.
Human beings rarely transmit
it among themselves. This pre-
sents a two fold objective to
Stockmen: CD Reduction of eco
nomic losses to the livestock in
dustry and ca elimination of a
serious threat to public health
and welfare.
60 Although brucellosis is
most widespread in cattle, the
goal of the eradication effort
must include elimination of the
disease from other susceptible
species, such as swine, goats and
sheep.
I'd Although neither test-and-
slaughter nor vaccination alone
will effectively meet all condi-
tons, a program including both
of these procedures can be made
flexible enough to eradicate bru-
cellosis from any herd.
(5)| The value of calf VAGINA
ton is not restricted to infected
herds. This practice involves
equal or greater benefits in the
protection it can afford to highly
susceptible clean herds. When we
prevent the spread Of the disease
from infected to clean or Mega
tive herds, the hardest part of the
task is done. ~: -.

accepted as a substitute for good
sanitation and herd manage
ment. It's greatest value is real.
lied only when. these principles
are rigidly observed. ts
Since organized effort by all
agencies allied in unified meth
DDS has largely eliminated cattle
tick fever and bovine tuberculo-
sis, it is possible for the livestock
industry, the veterinary profes.
sion, and public health agencies
to be as successful in brucellosis
eradication. IS
