Herrington explained, "will be to correct the fact that since 1921, prices of corn and hogs in terms of goods the fanner buys have been consistently lower, with only two exceptions, than they were before the war. Both of these exceptions resulted from the short corn crop of 1924. Bringing about a better balance between hog supplies and demand will, remove a large part of the present disparitr between farm prices and the price* «i things farmers buy."
