his division could control prices, they
would not fall below about $15.50 per

market If there is co-operation, the
i minimum will be maintained.
"Do not sacrifice your hogs by
dumping them on an overcrowded
market," he warns.
This does not mean that there is a
surplus of hogs, but that farmers are
rushing their stock to the market to
insure the present high prices, even
at the expense of breeding stock for
next year, of which there is a serious
shortage, according to E. A. Logan,
field agent of the Bureau of crop esti
mates in Missouri. Mr. Logan made
a preliminary survey of the stock
hogs on farms in October. He says
that the number of breeding sows is
85 per cent of last year's breeding
stock and that last year's breeding
stock was below normal.
The increase asked of Missouri is
50 per cent. The indications are that
Missouri farmers will make that in
crease, according to reports from the
twenty special agents of the College
of Agriculture, if the breeding stock
is available.
The adtlce of the college of Agri
culture Is for the farmers tg hold the
hogs and make them heavier. There
is a surplus of corn this year, more
than twice as much as that of last
year. According to the United States
Department of Agriculture, 75 to 80
per cent of a normal corn crop is fed,
and If stock is not raised, there will
be no market for the corn.

every person who had a total income
of $1,000 or $2,000, as tho case may
