Price Cycles


The accompanying chart shows the
normal movement in prices for various
weights of hogs due to season, after
removing the influence of the hog
price cycle, changes in the general
level of commodity prices and other
factors. The summer high is above the
late winter high. The December low
is under the April low. Note also that
the peaks and troughs in prices for
light hogs tend to come slightly earlier
than in prices for heavy hogs.
Because of the cyclical change, this
years prices are moving quite unlike
the normal seasonal. The winter rise
continued to a peak in April. The
drastic spring break reached its low in
June. Because of the sharp increase
in the winter pig crop which will start
to market in July-August, any summer
peak is likely to be considerably under
the April peak and to be reached I'M
usually early. The later summer and
fall decline will be more drastic than
usual.
Close-Sen Old Crop
The outlook calls for close selling of
old crop hogs on any price strength
in the near future. Top out spring pigs
at 200 to 22O pounds all summer and
early fall and sell on minor price up
turns. Better not wait for prices to get
back to some previous peak that you
missed. Plan to stay away from
November markets, but sell
in those months if necessary to avoid
Overfat hogs.
Keep the sows you've bred for fall
litters. While profits will be down,
they still are likely to be worth while.
If you have big sows that haven't yet
been bred it may be an advantage to
sell the extra weight and replace with
well-grown gifts.
Unless you're low-cost producer,
it will be well to avoid increasing your
breeding herd for the 1855 pig crop.
Profits on it are likely to be slim. The
outlook may change, however, by mat
ing time for spring filters.
Avoid Overweight
Don't sell light unfinished hogs at a
big discount in late summer and fall
even if the market is breaking Also
avoid making hogs overfat and over.
weight. They'll be heavily discounted
and will be sold when the whole mar
ket is lower.
Do what you can to offset lower
prices with lower costs in the yea
ahead. Raising more pigs per lite
and getting greater gains for feet
consumed are the main points of at
tack Get prolific, fast-growing breed
ing stock Provide good pasture fo
brood sows in summer and plenty o
alfalfa in winter. Use the well know
aids to save pigs at narrowing time
Provide synthetic sOw's milk TO
especially large litters. Use the clea
sow, clean narrowing pen, clean pas
ture system. Vaccinate and take othe
needed steps to protect the herd fror
diseases and parasites.
Give shoats good legume pasture i

cording to the kind of pasture you hav
and the age of the pigs. Use ration
that supply an antibiotic and other di'
tary aids based on the new know

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.--An or
ganization. designed to give the
pari-mutuel tracks a stronger
voice in the operation of the
trotting and pacing sport. has
been formed by II Of the Ma
tion's major harness racing as
sociations.
There were reports that the
new organization, to be known as
Harness Tracks of America, Inc,
intended to operate in opposition
to the United States Trotting
Association. governing body of
the sport. But this was denied
quickly by Don MacFarlane. gen.
eral counsel of Hazel Park, De-
troit. who was elected president
at yesterdays meeting.
In a telegram to Lawrence
Sheppard. president of the USTA,
the officers said the new group
had been formed ''in the spirit of
utmost cooperation and respect
for the USTA."
I'VE feel we have many mana
gerial problems which do not
pertain to the USTA," MacFar-.
lane said. II think we can get
along fine within the USTA and
it would be allowed to police our
organization if 1t so desires"

MacFarlane said the group
plans to adopt a code of stand

a police organization along the
lines of the Thoroughbred Rae
ing Protective Bureau.
We intend to operate within
the framework of the USTA,"
said AL We'll, secretary of the
Old Country Trotting Association
which runs its meetings at

we hope that by presenting a
united front we'll have more to
say in the workings of the USTA.
But secession from the USTA is
farthest from our thoughts"
Sheppard. at his home in Han
over, Pa, said the outline of the
groups aims, as given him in
the telegram. were too broad and
of a general nature to permit
him to give a definite statement
now.
Uncertain About Aims.
Il don't know just what they
have in mind in regard to
