Top hogs brought from $3.50
to SIT at Virginia auction mar
kets during January and Febru-
airy. BY midi March, prices were
from $1425 to $l45O. This was
! $3.50 de cline in six weeks,
says Larry l.. Denison, agricul-
tural econdmist at Virginia Poly
techric Institute.
The primary reason was the
large fall pig crop. Pigs saved
from June through November.
1862, numbered 44.5 million the
largest fall pig crop since l943.
The average Of 7.23 pigs saved
Fer litter was a record.
This led to an increased pro-
duction of pork during the win
ter and earl yspring months. To
tai pork production from Janu-
airy through May was SIX per
cent above production for the
same period last year. For
April, a month of $l4 prices,
pork production was II per cent
larger thai for April 1862.
Also. the large supply OF
broilers and beef had a depres-
sing effect on hog prices. Broil-
er and beef production from
January through May was six
per cent larger than for the
same period last year.
Prices since midway at Vir-
ginia auction m arket rose
sharply from about SIS to $3.50
by the last Of June. seven weeks
later. Probably the most impor-
tant eason for this increase
has been a decrease in hog
slaughter. Pork production I'M
der federal inspection since mid
May has been only slightly

projects approved for comple- ton this fall, the cash pay ments can help to get the ad- ditional conservation under way. With spring conservation projects completed and the cost shares received, it will be cas- fer to concentrate on other work that needs to be done, Carson suggested.
 The chairman said that if a farmer has received approval for practice which he later finds he is unable to carry out, he should report this to his county committee. This may permit the committee to ap- prove another practice for him or for some other farmer in the country.
 ACP, Carson explained. has ben authorized by Congress in recognition of the fact that the natural resources on individu- al farms are vital not only to the farmers and ranchers who operate the land, but also to the health and well-being of each citizen, both now and in the future. The cost-share as- sistance available under the program is an evidence of the whole nations interest in help ing to insure the wide use and adequate protection of farm lands throughout the country, the chairman stated.
