Regardless of the unfavorable)
price being paid for hogs at this e
season, fanners in cotton, to- a
da coo and peanut counties of Vir- y
ginia and the Carolinas should b
j.-o.; to swine production. The so- _
called ;ash crop system of the
South cart no longer produce income
sufficient to support the
farm family in reasonable comfort.
This system should be supported
by food and feed crops i
ar.d by livestock, particularly
hogs. ; j
The Bureau of Agricultui al i
Economics, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, is forecasting (December
20th) strong consumer demand
for hogs in 1940 compared
with 1939. The improvement is
expected to result from the increase
in industrial production
and consumer incomes.

ittle fed this season will be

Foreign demand for hog proucts
in 1940 probably will be

War is expected in the next

Hog marketings have increased
easonally since September, and

The seasonal increase in hog marceting

In early December, prices of

irices in only a few other times

The fall pig crop of 1939 is

han that of 1939. With the
pring pig crop of 1939 twenty
ier cent larger, the total pig
:rop for 1939 is about 19 per cent
arger than that of 1938. The indiated
number of sows to farrow
n the spring of 1940, however, is
inly about the same as the numler
farrowed in the spring of
939. These are the chief items of
