PThCKENS~bROGCO. STEADIER 1OG MA Hog Producers and Pack sentatives of the Food Agricultural Depar New Plan of In accordance with the policy of the tion to consult representative men in t of importance to special branches of th convened in Washington a meeting of Agricultural Advisory Board and the sp industry to consider the situation in the The conference lasted for three day executive committee of the fifty packing for pork products and with the members foreign pork purchases. The conclusions of the conference w The entire marketing situation has j so changed since the September joint q conference as to necessitate an entire alteration in the plans of price stabi lization. The current peace talk has alarmed the holders of corn, and there has been a price decline of from 25 cents to 40 cents per bushel. The fact that the accumulations of low priced t corn in the Argentine and South Afri- c ca would, upon the advent of peace 1 and liberated shipping, become avail able to the European market has cre ated a great deal of apprehension on the part of corn holders. This decline has spread fear among swine growers that a similar reduction in the prices of hogs would naturally follow. More over, the bower range of corn prices would, if incorporated in a 13-to-1 ra tio, obviously result in a continuously falling price for live hogs. In view of these changed conditions many swine producers anticipated lower prices and as a result rushed their hogs to market in large numbers, and this overshipment has added to and I aggravated the decline. The information of the Department I of Agriculture indicates that the sup ply of hogs has increased about 8 per cent., while the highest unoflicial esti mate does not exceed 15 per cent. in creased production over last year. On the other hand, the arrival of hogs during the last three weeks in the seven great markets has been 27 per cent. more than last year, during the corresponding period, demonstrating the unusually heavy marketing of the available supply. In the face of the excessive receipts some packers have not maintained the price agreed last month. On the other hand, many of the packers have paid over the price offered to them in an endeavor td maintain the agreed price. The re sult in any event has been a failure to maintain the October price basis determined upon at the September con ferenlce and undertaken by the pack ers. Anothler factor contribluting to tile break in prices during tile month hlas been thle influenza epidemlic; it has sharply curtailed consumpnltion of por-k pr-oducts and temporarily deC creasedl the labor- staff of the packers about 25 p~er cent. Tile exports of 13i0.000,000) Iountds of por1k products for October com pared with ab~out 52,000.000 pounds in October a year ago, anti the export orlders plaXceabile b~y the F0ood Administration for Novembier, almount to 170,000,000 pounds(1 as contrast ed with the lesse- exports of 98,000,000 for November, 1917. Tile inlcreasedi demands of tile allies are continuing, and are in thlemselves proof of thea necessity for tile tar-ge production for whlich tile Food Adnmin Istration asked. Th'ie increase in ex p~ort demands appears to be amply suilcient to take up tihe increase in hog production, buit unfatvor-able ma ket conditionIs existinlg in October- af ford nIo fair indlex of thle aggr-egate supply anud denmand. It musllt be evhmzent that the enor mous shlortage in fats in tile Centr-at Empires and neutral coun~tries wold immediately uponi peace resulit ill ad (iltionlal demaads for p)ork lproducts wvhich, Oin top of thle hleavy sh1ipmetts to tihe Allies, would tend~ m~aterillly to incerease the American exports, In asm~uch as no considlerallte reservoir of supplies exists outside of thle United States. It seemsi proilbble that tile present prospective supplies wotuld he inadequate to mleet tils wo~rldl dleman~d with the return to peace. So far as It is possilie to interpreCt tis facet, It ap pears that thlere shloutld he eveni a stronger demand for '1pork products aifter tile wvar, and thlereQforE any alarmn of hlog producers ats to tile effect of peace is unwar-ranted by tile outlook. In tile lighlt of thlese circumstanlces It is the conclusion of thle conference thlat attempts to Iold thle price of hogs to tile pt-ice of corn may work out to tile disadlvantage of pork producers. It is tile conclusion that any interpre tation of the formula shlouldi be a broad gauged policy apli ed over a long periodl. It is the Opitnion of tile< conference thlat in substitution of the ~previous plans of stabilizatIon thle ,Live Stock Subcommittee of tihe Agri cultural Advisory Board, together with t Ithe specially invited swine repr-esenta- I :tives, should accept the~ invittion of tile Food1 Administration to joinl withm tile AdministratIon and tile packers in determining tile pices at whlehi con- I trolled export ordiers are to be piniced,.

Food Administration since its founda ie agricultura industry on occasions e industry, on October 24 there was the Live Stock Subcommittee of the. cial members representing the swine hog market. S, and during this time met with the . firms participating in foreign orders of the Food Administration directing ere as follows: reducer and the insurance of an ade uate future supply. These foreign orders are placed ipon the basis of cost of hogs to the sackers. As the result of long negotiations eiween this body and the Packers' sommittee, representing the 45 to 50 mnckers participating in foreign or lers, together with the Allied buyers, i under the Chairmanship of the rood Administration, the following un lertaking has been given by the pack rs In view of the undertakings on the art of the Food*"Administration with egard to the co-ordinated purchases f pork products, covered In the at ached, it -is agrped that the packers larticipating in these orders vill tin lertake not to purchase hogs for less han the following agreed minimums or the month of November, that is a laily minimum of $17.50 per hundred >ounds on average of packers' droves, xcluding throw-outs. "Throw-outs" o be defined as pigs under 180 )ounds, stags, boars, thin sews and kips. Further, that no hogs of any rind shall be bought, except throw >uts, at less than $10.50 per hundred )ounds. The nyerage of packers' broves to be construed as the average )f the total sales in the market of all logs for a given day. All the above .0 he based on Chicago. W1e agree that a committee shall be ippointed by the Food Administration 0 ch'ek the daily operations in the various moaricets with a view to super isim antd demonstration of the carry ing out of the above. The ability of the packers to carry out this arrangement will depend on there being a normal marketing of hogs based upon the proportionate in crease over the receipts of last year. The increase in production appears to bei a maximumn of about 15 per cent. and we can handle such an increase. If the producers of hogs should, as they have in the past few weeks, pre maturely market hogs in such Increas ing numbers over the above it is en tirely eyond tie ability of the pack ers to maintain these minimmus, and thlerefore we must have tile co-oipern tioni of tile producer himself to main tain these results. It is a phlysieal Imphosbilty for the capacity of the [lmekinig houses to handlde a similar :)ver-tlood of hiogs [ad to find( aI malrket for thle ou tput.

It is helieved by the conference that his new plan, brised tie it is upon a iositivye minimumn biasis, will bring bet er results t~o the producer than nyeuvr ige prices for the mont hi. It does not umit top prices and should narrowv lie matrglns necessary to counitry buy 3rs in more variable markets. It is >elieved thiat the plan should work out lose to $18 average. Swine producers of the country will zontribute to their own interest iby iot flooding the market, for it must be Ivident that if an excessive over per ~entage of hogs is marketed in any me month prkce stabilization and con ~rol cnnot succeed, and it ia cerin lint producers themselves enn contri into materially to the efforts of the ~onferences if the~y will do their mark ting in as normal a way as possible.
