pt Eighteen r i . . " 4 • » »££ THE McHENBY PLAINDEALER Farmers' Outlook Hog Producers Smile At Report A hog producer was recently •een to smile while reading: a market report. It may (have been the first time such a thing has happened in more than a year. The hog market news was pretty glum from April, 1954, until a few weeks ago. During that long year prices skidded from around $28 a hundred pounds to $16. It is good news to hog producers that prices have finally turned upward. Some recent top prices have been more than $3 above the winter low, *nd several signs point to still higlher' prices during June anid' July. Market receipts of hogs were relatively heavy during the winter and early spring. Slaughter during January to mid May was 18 percent greater than last year. In order to get the larger amounts of pork moved, retail prices were reduced and market- . ing margins were increased. Both of these market changes depressed the prices of live hogs. Market Supplice Will Moderate Market supplies of hogs will probably shrink more than usual in June anid July. This belief is based on a study of the monthly distribution of 1&54 fall farrowing*. Hie 1954 fall pig crop was nearly 37 million head. This number was 16 percent more than "the very small fall crop of the year before, but it was only 3 percent more than the 1.0-year average, 1943-52. In comparison with our growing population, last fall's pig crop was about 7 percent smaller than average. The important thing to recall at this time is that the 1954 faU pig crop was farrowed very early. Fifty-five percent of the pigs came during June-August. Numbers of sows farrowing during this first half of the season were 18 percent greater tfhan the 10-year average. Hie hogs from these far rowings have already moved to market. By contrast, farrowings during the last half of the 1954 fall season -- September to November -- were 19 percent smaller •than the 10-year average. These small farrowings will furnish most ol; the market supply of barrows and gilts during the next sixty days. w Small Increase In Spring Pigs Several surveys indicate that •this year's spring pig crop is '*bout 5 to 6 percent larger than that of last yearr (1) last December U.S. farmers indicated tflaat they would have 5 percent more sows farrow spring pigs than they had last year; (2) a survey in six principal hog states on March 1 pointed to a 2 to 8 percent increase in spring pigs; (3) farrowings to May 1 in Iowa, the leading hog state, were 4 percent larger than test year. The Fall Market These reports on the spring pig crop indicate that market supplies" next fall will be moderately larger than they were last fall. Prices, horwever, may toe nearly as high as those of, a year earlier. To offset tihe Small increase in pork supplies, consumer demand may be stronger and supplies of competing eggs and poultry smaller than last year, but .this increase is uncertain. F i n a l l y , c o m p e t i t i o n may squeeze marketing margins for pork, which were unusually wide last fall, to more nearly normal size, and this could support prices of live hogs even though retail prices are reduced in order to move the larger supply. By way of review, prices of barrows and gilts at eight mar kets averaged $20 last September, $18.80 in Ootober, and $18.60 in November. claim date in the estate of Louise P.

Fischer in The Ar€ of Eating, is anybody who scorns inexpensive food that may actually be excellent, , while choosing fancysounding items just to be chic. Her own mother used td disdain turnips because as a child they were considered fit only for peasants in her locality, but she Mked corn meal mush with molasses, which plenty of other people turn up tfheir nose at. Some folks look down on cabbage, although it contains valuable vitamins and minerals. Pea soup, bean soup, anid lentil soup are disdained by many who get excited at the mere mention of vichyssoise, lobster bisque and bouillabaisse.

OF CROP TOTALLED 171/2 MILLION POUNDS Food shipments of American surplus 'commodities to needy people, distributed overseas with the help of the Christian Rural Overseas Program, totalled over 17% million pounds, stated Elvin D. t Frantz, Illinois State CROP director in a recent report covering the v period of Jan. 1,. 1954, to March 31, 1955. These food gifts were transported by our government to overseas ports. Distribution facilities are created by- the American people through CROP in twenty-six countries. The nation-wide CROP appeal, a program of Church World Service, is primarily a collection campaign for commodities contributed to hungry people directly from the farmers of America. Cash gifts are accepted for use in payment of liandliag aiMi 80m®. transportation costs, and tor the;; purchase of additional foods. CROP fifts are also used enable distribution of government donated surplus by church agencies. Mr. Frantz reported that CROP supplied nearly 25' per cent of the funds used for surpluses by CWS during the above mentioned period. CWS met the remainder of its surplus program costs through the SOS (Share Our Surplus) promotion and by cash gifts from church groups. Statistics 'from National CROP headquarters, Elkhart, Irid., list totals of surplus' commodities shipped with * the help of CROP as follows: 2,993/722 Ibis, of milk, 1,704,791 lbs. of butter, 350,049 lbs. of cottonseed oil, 1,384,127 lbs. qf cheese, 452,203 lbs. of shortening and 168,688 lbs. of butter oil. CROP paid in addition, all CWS expenses of the Christinas food, .parcel shipment of 10,508,854 lbs. of commodities to feed 650,000 hungry families. The surplus gifts were diS- , tributed ift Austria, Belgium, ^ England, France, Germany. Greece, Italy, Trieste, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Egypt, Haiti, Hong1 Kong,- India, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Lebanon, Liberia, Okinawa, Pakistan, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela. Plans for the' annual statewide CROP appeal in Illinois, in conjunction with the national drive, are now under way in a continued effort to feed an increasing number of starving people in the world. The Illinois appeal has a goal of $160,000 worth of contributed commodities. Some cash gifts made in the^v campaign will be used in the surplus project which CROP will undertake in 1955 on behalf of Church World Service. AIR CONDITIONED!
