Under the Employment Act of
1916 the President IS required to
make an economic report to the
Congress shortly after the first
Of each year The report, pre-
pared largely By the Council Of
Economic Advisers. always re
views the developments OF the
previous year and indicates what
is ahead and what the govern
ment plans to do about it. The
council is composed of three
members and under it is a small
group of research experts. Chair
man of the present council is Dr.
Raymond j. Saulnier.
Just as the State of the Union
and the Budget messages, the
Economic Report is, by its ma
ture. a political document. and
this must be kept in mind in
reading and appraising it. How
ever. the report is more nearly
political : showcase than a
political platform.
In the 1860 report the term
shared responsibility is used
time after time to describe our
economic system. 1t clearly re-
fleets the conviction of the Ad-
minisuation that government
can not, and must not be eN-
pected to. carry the fun re
sponsibllity for ow progress and
prosperity.

philosophy and it is regrettable

Lice On Layers
Can Cost Money

A poultryman's profits can
skid if his birds are infested
with lice.
D. D. Bragg, poultry specialist
at VPI. says studies have shown
that a heavy infestation of lice
can reduce egg production by ten
per cent. So when eggs sell for
40 cents per dozen, and each
bird can produce 20 dozen eggs.
keeping a flock of 900 hens free
of lice can mean $500 differ
ence in a year.
Many insecticides are effec-
tive against lice and mites. One
of them is malathion. which can
be applied as a one per cent
spray to poultry house interiors.
as a three per cent roost paint.
or as four per cent dust at the
rate of one pound per 40 or so
square feet of floor litter. The
treatment should be repeated in

Hogs
Look for hog prices to drop
off for the next two weeks or
So Almost every year, they
take a jump in January then
fall off again, reaching a low
toward the end of February.
We've apparently had h S
years jump.
But prospects are m u c h
brighter from February on. The
1859 fall pig crop was up only
two per cent from year earlier,
and most of these seem to have
already come to slaughter.
Price-wise. 1860 appears to be
shaping up about like 1857, the
first year of downturn in the
cycle of hog production. The nine
corn belt states indicate they
have about as many hogs on
farms as they had last year.
and their hog farmers indicate
intentions to farroW IS per cent
fewer sows in December, Janu-
airy and February. II per cent
fewer for March. April and May
These indications point to
steady and substantial price
rise from March well into sum-
mer. with prices going above
last year in late spring or early
summer and staying there.
If you have feeder pigs ready
to sell. this looks like a good
year to feed them out if you
have the feed. Feeder pig prices
follow market hog prices pretty
closely. and market hogs will
not get going for month or
more.
The next three or four weeks
should be a good time to buy
some feeders if you have corn.
You can sell on a considerably
higher market in late spring.
II you have sows that are
good for two more years. it
looks like good advice to hold
them. Hog prices usually go up
for two years after the cycle
turns.

a gross income Of 1898. The

was S235 for the year. So the
average Virginia DHIA COW re-
turned 1903 over feed cost. The
money was used to pay for la

Dairy Specialist Says Milk Pricing
Situation FavOrs LOWEST Breeds

Where is the milk pricing sys-

dairy industry?
This is question for some
deep bordering. says w. S.
Griffith, dairy specialist at VPI.
Griffith says that according
to a summary of records of $40

ment association (DHIA) herds

vors lower testing breeds of
cattle. Greatest income over
feed cost was found with the
herds producing 3.6 per cent
milk. These 283 herds averaged
1926 income over feed cost. Pro
duction per COW was 1874
pounds of milk and 389 pounds
of butterfat.
Lowest income over feed cost
was in the herds producing 5
| per cent milk. In these 81 herds
income over feed cost was only
1921. Production per COW was
7,744 pounds of milk and 1884
pounds of butterfat.
These records were reported
by Virginia DHIA supervisors on
the basis of the milk price

shift from certain dairy cattle
breeds to others. Cattle prices at
auctions and the declining but
terfat test of milk received. in
dairy plants show this shift is
taking place.
Griffith says in view Of these
factors Virginia diarymen and
distributors should carefully
analyze the probably end result
of following the present pricing
system. Does the consumer want
milk with lower total solids and
lower solids-not-fat? The pric-
ing system is a powerful eco
nomic force. 1t is now working
for the good of the dairy in
dustry? These questions, Grit
fifth says. need serious thought.
