Swine Outlook

Swine growers will probably
find markets for more hogs next
year but only efficient operators
will reap maximum returns.
! L. III. Barnes, extension econ
omist at Ohio State University
says expected demand for pork
in 1851 "justifies moderate in
crease in production" He points
out, however, that higher costs
will call for more efficient op-
erations if maximum returns are
to be realized"
More income for consumers is
the reason Barnes gives for ex-
pected increased demand for pork.
Economists expect average pork
consumption in 1851 will be 73
pounds per person. 1t was II
pounds in 1850 Before World
