Hog Growers All Right
The hog cycle is a short term
affair and is more closely under
the control of the producer than
is the case with cattle The So
called hog-corn ratio is the de-
termining factor. U. S. hog pro-
production hit record high Of
10l ,8l1 900 head in 1851. This

1854 spring pig crop may top

will not come on the market until
the second half of next year.

seasonal decline. Although hog
prices currently are under mild
seasonal pressure, they should be
followed by good recovery later.
What About Sheep?

Bab'on Discusses
Livestock
Situation

Although I own a 12000-acre
ranch in Florida. l have never
gone in for livestock raising
hence, I am by no means an ex-
pert on this branch of agriculture
What have to say on the sub
iect is purely from the layman' S
point of view
Headaches in Cattle Country
The cattle business is an up
and-doWn affair. and is one IN
which the inexperienced opera
tor can lose his shirt. For about
a dozen war and postwar years
the industry prospered. Everyone
in it was making money. and as a
consequence everyone wanted Ito

ed rapidly. until the number on
u. S. farms hit an all-time high
of SO $4,000 head as of January
/. 1858. The number on feed on
that date also stood at a record
high of $4,000 head - 16 per
cent above a year earlier. The
cattle cycle trend canont quickly
be altered.
Attractive prices were the chief
expansion lure Weekly average
cattle prices had scared to s37 IS
a hundredweight by September,
1851 In April 1851, prices of
heavy steers at Chicago stood at
$43.50 But trouble in the form
of drought was brewing in the
Southwest. Prolonged hot, dry
weather scorched the Southwest
and other areas in 1852 and 1858.
Pastures virtually evaporated
Feed shortages mounted in the
stricken areas. Many ranchers had
no alternative but to rush their
cattle to market. AS a result the
bottom fell out. Cattle prices at
Chicago recently averaged $25 40.

cattle raiSers today are in serious
difficulty
Action and Reaction
The Law of Action and Reaction
applies as much to the cattle in
dustry as it does to any other
industry, or to the entire national
economy. OverexpanSion in any
direction inevitably leads to a re-
adjustment. which often is pain
full. We appear to be at or near a
cyclical peak in the number of J
cattle; the next broad move will |
be down. Even SO. the number |
