Mr. Cudahy said: "‘Our next sensation will beA-cent hogs. It looks to me as though prices would keep on going down for a year or more. Un- like grain, the farmer cannot hold his hogs indefinitely, but must sell them when they are ready for the market. He has been going into the raising of hogs on such a scale that he is now getting big results, and is due to get much larger results before prices get to the point where he will be dissatis- fied. There probably never was such a crop of hogs in the country as there is now, and the returns are by no means in on the big crop. Every; month this year will see an increasel in the accumulation of pork products' at the packing centres. We are hav- ing a little better trade, but the im- provement is insignificant when com- pared with the increase in the manu- facture. The lard trade has been fairly good, but then the pric: of that class of stuff has been so low that it is all going into the tank, which ac- counts for the large production of la: (1. Prices-are still quite a bit too high. April is a month that the farmers of the North devote to their land. They usually arrange matters so as not to have hogs to sell in April. It is also one of the busiest months with the cotton planters of the South, the month that the most men are employ- ed and should be the month of trade. Taking the stock as reported at the five points, although they are not conSistent with the increase in pack. ing at the same points, they will show an increase of about 20,000,000 pounds of meats for the last month, and if we include the entire West, the in crease will be about 40,000,000 pounds. Now, if we increase this way in April under conditions such as I have mentioned, what may we expect ir. June and July, when our summer run of hogs will come in full form; and the trade of the South is practi- ;cally over with until cottcn picking begins in the fall?” Patrick Cudahy Says Prices Will Con- tinue to Decline Wheat (per acre) Corn Rye " . . . Buckwheat“ . . . Potatoes “ . . . Tobacco “ . . . “The general trend of production per acre was a declining one during the two decades 1876-1885 and 1886- 1895, but in the decade 1896-1905 and from 1906-1909 the mean production per acre has steadily increased. Mr. Olmsted shows that the mean produc- tion per acre for the four years, 1906- 1909, has increased over the preceding ten years as follows:â€" a phase of decadence, incident to the exploitation of new land, has obtained a secure footing in the contrary direc tion toward improvement. “In connection with these statistics showing the increase in the total an- nual yield of wheat in the United States it is most important to note the words of Mr. C. L. Olmsted, chiei of the Bureau of Statistics at Wash- ington, who has just recently issued the results of a study of the subject of population and subsistence. He combats the view that agricultural production will fail to keep pace with the growth of population, and he shows that the agriculture of the United States, after passing through 1908 1909 1910 AMERICAN HOG MARKH The pcssihilities of Canada gaining ‘hrorgh free trade in wheat with the UnitedStates were shown in the fol- biting extract from an article pub- ‘ishcci a fortnight ago in The Toronto \‘ewszâ€" "So far as wheat is concerned, and it is the chief breadstuff that United States would like to get from Canada. our neighbors do not need Canadian ..'heat for Their own consumption. 'i‘heir chief purpose in .getting free «heat from Canada would be to ex- )ort it through their ports, and to use .t for milling purposes, thus benefit-t zing their own courses of transporta- -ion. Prices would not be helped inl any way, because the United States; has a surplus prbduction of wheat that will make that country an exporter of flour and grain for the next hundred years. The following figures show how the volume of wheat production is increasing in the States:â€" wAAAA AAA HELP AAAAAAAA WAAAA Free Trade cf No Benefit to the Pro- ducer Here, as the United States Has a Surplus Production 9.6 per cent 5.6.0.7” 63.0.9 Bushels 634,000,000 664,000,000 737,000,000 really pay more for than We pay on the United States side of the line, and that cause to fear disaster f it is the Canadian and nm “M An“: Agricultural Labor Paid in the L u Senator Stone of Washington the at of Reciprocity with t other things which advantage of the St Senator Stone, was labor. In this conn lyn Times had the showing that Can: wages on her farms States:-â€"- _- _v-vu, cplUU, an' other of 90 acres, $1,300; another of 360 acres, $2,600. In the Township of Brattleboro, Vt., 190 acres, $1,000; 100 acres, $800; “What, then, is the matter? The trouble is that this market into which the Canadian farmer is to be invited to try his luck, is in no need of Cana- dian produce. The trouble is that the United States, with its great range of territory and its climate, produces a vast surplus of all kinds of agricul- tural products. and these products are manipulated by the food-distributing trusts to the disadvantage of many of the producers. Go up and down this country in which the New Eng- land farmers ought to find a profitable market, and what do you find?s You find the cold storage plants of the Chicago packing houses, and of the fruit and dairy trusts, taking the toll that the farmers ought to get from the breakfast and dinner tables of the great army of consumers. “Here are some of the prices of farms actually on offer at this mom- ent in the New England States: In the town (or, as we call it, the town- ship) of Bethel, Windsor County, Ver- mont, a farm of 45 acres, $700; an- other of 90 acres, $1,300; another of 360 acres, $2,600. In the Township of Brattleboro, Vt., 190 acres, $1,000-i 100 acres, $800; at Chester Depot, Rutland County, 195 acres, $2,nnn. m. l "The vast areas of abandoned lands in New England and of farms upon which the farmers are struggling along in a poverty-stricken condition, are not farms that are worked out. The pamphlet referred to declares that on these lands ‘a small amount of capital will go a long way. °These lands are not infertile, and they re- sp‘ond very quickly to good manage- ment.’ “The familiar argument is, of course, that the farming country east of the Mississippi is becoming worked out; that it is bad farming which has brought about the ruin of so many thousands of farmers, and the great decline in Eastern farm values gen- erally. The pamphlet just referred to shows that the farmers have been putting up a heroic struggle only to find themselves beaten at every turn. They have failed successively in wheat growing, barley growing, sheep raising, dairy farming, cattle raising, fruit growing and even in horse rais- ing. “These abandoned farms are not newly-cleared land which experiment has shown to be unprofitable for agri- culture, but farms that once were flourishing. They are in territory at least as favorably situated as Ontario or any of the Eastern Provinces, and yet the value of the produce marketed from them is so low that hundreds of farms throughout this great territory can be had for less than the worth of the buildings upon them. This is not a random statement, but a statement made by the Department of Agricul- ture at Washington in a pamphlet published only ‘ in May, 1910, on ‘Agricultural Conditions in Southern New York.’ “The United States census reports of the 20-year period from 1880 to 1900 show that in that time no fewer than 15,344 farms in New England went out of existence; that there were 17,000 less farmers in these States at the end of the period than at the be- ginning. and that some 5,000,000 acr‘s of land that were in cultivadon in 1880 went out of tillage and cultiva- tion. “Do the Canadian farmers imagine that they can invade the markets of the United States, and succeed where so many American farmers fall? If so. let them make a survey of farming conditions eEst of the Mississippi in the United States. If there were any virtue in this cry of free access to a market of ninety millions of people, or if the United States had even be- gun to have reached its limit of pro duction. surely these farmers would begun to have reached its limit of production. surely these farmers would at least have begun to feel the benefit of it. Exactly the reverse is the case. Writing on conditions east of the Mississippi, the results of a personal investigation in the Eastern States, C. L. Sibley, of Montreal, recently said:â€" Farms In the ' Eastern States Show Evidences of Undue lmpover» ishment UNDER THE IHUMB [IF THE TRUSTS 1e of Missouri spoke 1e other day in fa‘ with Canada.
