There will be fever but heavier
hogs, sad more hogs m the second
than in,the first half of the market
ing year. Prices to producers are ex
pected to avenge lower than in 1936
37. V ? ?
The Bureau says there will be a
somewhat weaker domestic demand
for hog products during the coming
marketing year, and little improve
ment in export demand- Exports this
year have been near the low figures
.of 1936.
A large increase was forecast in
number of pigs raised in 1988 but
the n*rcifi "will not be reflected in
larger slaughter until late 1938 and
1939.
Only moderate expansion in pro
duction was forecast for the Western
corn belt, where hog numbers have
been sharply reduced since 1983. This
situation tends to retard the recov
ery in hog production for at least one
year, and possibly two years.
Discussing long time prospects the
Bureau says that "the return of in
spected slaughter to a normal level?
45 or 46 million hogs?by about 1940
or 1941, assuming fairly normal corn
production probably would result in
a level of prices lower than in the
present year but higher than in the
years 1932 and 1933.
"If it is assumed that domestic
consumer demand in 1940-41 will be
about equal to that of 1937 it is
probable that hog prices in 1940-41
will be lower than in the current year.
Prices, however probably would not
be so low as in the years 1932 and
1933 when supplies were about esual
to average domestic consumer de
mand was much less favorable than
in 1937.
LARGER MEAT SUPPLY
EXPECTERD NEXT YEAR
Meats will be more plentiful and
lower priced in 1938, the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics says in its
annual outlook report on meats and
meat animals.
Most of the increase in the supply
will be in the last half of the year
and will consist largely of pork and
the better grades of beef. Supplies
of veal and the lower grades of beef
will be less than in 1937, and the
suply of lamb about the same.
More and heavier hogs were re
ported in prospect for slaughter in
the calendar year 1938. The Bureau
says there will be an increase in
cattle feeding. The total beef sup
ply will be slightly reduced less than
during this year but will include a
much larger porportion of the better
grades.
The Bureau says the consumer de
mand for meats this year has been
the best since 1930, but that it may
be less favorable in 1933 in view of
prospects for a slightly lower level
of national income.
Reduced demand and increased sup
plies are expected to lower the gen
eral average of retail meat prices.
Prices of the better grades of beef
are expected to decline but prices of
the lower grades to average the same
as in 1937.
Prices of pork next year probably
will average lower, but most of the
drop will be in the last half of 1938.
LESS RAPID DECLINE IN HORSE
AND MULE NUMBERS
A continued but less rapid decline
in the number of horses and mules
on farms is reported by the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics in its an
nual outlook report.
The Bureau says that the long
continued downward trend in the
number of horses and mules will pro
bably continue until 1940 or 1942
when it is expected that the number
of colts raised will be equal to the
disappearance of older animals from
farms.
On January 1, last there were 16,
130,000 horses and mules on farms,
or the smallest number since 1889.
There was a sharp decline during
the I920,s a more gradual decrease
in the last few years.
The Bureau points, out that "since
it is probable that the need for mo
tive power will not expand greatly,
the number of horses and mules of
working age now may represent the
maximum number needed."
Producers of horses and mules were
advised to "observe closely the trends
in colt production and in use of
mechanical power."
PROSPECTS FAIRLY GOOD
FOB SOY BEANS IN 1938.
The demand for soybean oil and
meal will be fairly good in tbe cod
ing year but large supplies are likely
to make somewhat lower prices to
growers, the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics says in an outlook re
port on soybeans.
Soybeans had an unusually favor
able market the past season. With
a 27 per emit increase in soybean
production, however, and a heavy in
crease also in file amount of cotton
seed, pries are expected to run con
siderably lower in 1987-38 season
than In file your previous hat with
the average slightly above the 1985
36 season.

duction next year equal to or only
slightly larger than the 1987 crop

nual seed out look report
Smaller than usual aales of alfalfa
and clover seed in the spring of
1938 were fore?t on the basis of
small stocks and high prices. The
Bureau adds that alette clover and
sweet clover will probably be substi
tuted in many sections for high
priced red clover and alfalfa seed.
It is expected also that leepedeta
and grass seed, in large supply, will
be used more extensively wherever
practicable, in place of alfalfa and
red clover seed. Current prices of al
falfa and red clover seed were re
ported highest in 18 years.
Production of sweet clover seed in
1937, estimated at 52,060,000 to 55^
000,000 pounds, was reported the lar
gest since 1929.

ANSWERS TIMELY
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION:?How long should
the lights be turned on in the poul
try house for beat results?
ANSWER ? This depends upon
whether the lights are used in the
morning or evening, or whether both
are used. As a general rule the
birds should have from 12 to 14
hours in which to feed. Where the
morning lights are used alone these
are usually turned on at 4:80 to 5
o'clock in the morning and left burn
ing until daylight For evening
lighta these are usually turned on
about 4:00 o'clock and left on until
7:00 P. M. Where both systems are
used the birds should have at least
12 feeding hours with lights on at
6:00 A. M. and off at daylight with
evening lights on again in the after
noon until 6:00 o'clock.
QUESTIONS: ? Should new tob
acco plant beds be selected each
year?
ANSWER: ? Experimental work
and observation shows that damage
from blue mold can be substantially
reduced by the selection of new beds
each year or by the rotation of
beds. If volunteer tobacco is not al
lowed to grow in old bed rites a
4-year rotation of the beds will bs
as good as a new selection each sea
son, but if old beds are used they
should be burned over or sterilised
by steam before usage. If a new bed
is selected be sure it is located in a
warm, sunny place that is well chain
ed. Locate the new bed on a loamy
type of soil and close to running
water if possible.
QUESTION:?What is the best
grain ration for young calves?
ANSWER:?Any mixture that is
palatable and supplies the feed ma
terials needed by the calf is satis
factory. Corn, oats, wheat bran, and
oil meal are good feeds. The follow
ing mixtures have been used with
success and are recommended for
calf feeding. 1.?Three perts by
weight of cracked corn and one each
of crushed oats and wheat torn. 2.?
Thirty pounds each of cracked corn,
wheat bran, and crushed oats, and
ten pounds of linseed, peanut or
soybean meal. 3.?Three parts by
weight of cracked core and one part
wheat bran. The feeding should be
gin at about two weeks of age or
when the skim-milk is substituted
for whole milk. ,

The question arises, however, as
to what'the Administration will have
to do'to encourage neb construction
activities nd how far present poli
cies will have to be changed. Any
thing like a surrender of the Presi
dents stand in regard to public
utilities is net to be expected and
whether they can ran raise the nec
essary funds from private sources
without the abandonment of the Gov
enuasott hydro-electric development!
.a let-up in tte fight on the hoMhtgi
companies and some discouragement
of the development of publicily own
ed power plants is doubtful.
The people of the United States
may be called upon to make a serious
decision in regard to the international
affairs at almost any time. We do
not refer to the conflict in the Far
East or the situation in Spain but
to possible affaire by nations not in
the hemisphere. The recent agree
ment binding Italy, Germany and Ja
pan to war against Communism in
creases the probability of foreign
intervention in South America.
Already, there is a tendency in
certain South American countries to
use "Communism" as an excuse for
martial law, Certainly, if civil war
breaks out in a South American
country, one side or the other will
raise the cry of "Communism" and
there might be an attempt on the
part of the Soviet Union or the Ger
man, Italian and Japanese bloc to
furnish assistance to the respective
sides. In such an event, the* United
States would face a grave situation
and decision and would either have
to abandon its ancient doctrines or
actively participate in the struggle.
For many years the United States
has .asserted that the Western Hem
isphere is not a field to be included
in the hegemony of any nation in
| Europe. Whether it is ready to back
jup this doctrine if challenged, may
have to be determined at almost any
time. It is well-known that if some
Latin American countries, there is
overwhelmingly sympathetic for Gen
eral Franco, and South American
countries have indicated a definite
disinclination to be neutral in regard
to all European conflicts.
Should a war break out anywhere
in the hemisphere which could be
classified along the lines of the con
flict now going on in Spain it is
regarded as highly anti-communist
bloc would remain neutral. In fact,
officials in this country have been
somewhat concerned over the spread
of undemocratic political manoevers
over large portions of South and
Central America, and, consequently,
forsee the possibility of outside in
tervention in future struggles.
The movement of gold from the
United States to Europe last week!
reversed a trend of several years but
causes no uneasiness here. Since
1933, the dollar has been more in
demand in London than gold, with the
result that large shipments M the
metal were made too this country.
During the first quarter of 1937,
these inports averaged $30,000,000 a
week and during the second quarter
around $60,000,000 a week. Shipments
from Japan and Australia continue
to arrive but improved conditions in
Europe, coupled with Europeal fears
of the temporary business lull and
stock market declines in this country
has caused the recall of European
gold which has been deposited in this
country on a temporary basis. Such
gold is called "hot money" because
it is apt to suddenly recalled by the
country of its origin.
The reversal of the gold flow is
not considered injurious to this coun
try and will have no effect whatever

It is interesting too observe <hw
a lew months ago the prevailing
? opinion in fintociol circles was that
I the dollar was too cheap in terms
I of gold. There was a widely held
(opinion that when the dollar was;
revalued in 1?4 at 60906 per cent,
| of its former gold value the figure
| was too low. As a result of the hon
I elusion that the currency of the
(united States was selling at a bar
jgain price, there was a huge flow
(of foreign funds into this country
(with the ultimate result.that more
(than $5,000,000,000 of gold came into!
| the United States. Last spring there
(was a persistent belief in Europe
[that some readjustment of the dollar
(in terms of gold was necessary and
| this precipitated a new rush of gold.
1 Now, apparently, the idea abroad is
that gold is a better investment than
(the dollar which means that some
lour yellow hoard will be shipped

A small amount of one of these
substances placed in the water which
the cutting is partly immersed will
cause a vigorous mass cf roots to
appear on the cutting, says Dr. B.
W. Wells, head of the State College
Botany Department 1
No demonstrated answer has been
given as to why these substances
have this strange power. Only theo
ries have been advanced. One lead
ing idea is that the auxin increases
the plasticity of the cell walls mak
ing again like young walls, a condi
tion which induces the root-produc
ing ceils to enter upon a new Cycle
of growth. Again it may be the di
rect action on the living substance
of1 the cells.
To nurserymen who in the past
have experienced great difficulties in
the propagation of certain plants, the
new auxins seem like a magic com
pound. When used, excessive root
production is stimulated in some of
the most dormant or resistant cutt
ings, Dr. Wells declares.
One of the most remarkable fea
tures of the procedure is that of the
extremely amount of the auxin
necessary to perform this modern
miracle. A thimble full of the com
mercial liquid containing the aurin
has in it only 20 milligrams of the
stimulator. This is but a fraction
of a pin bead in volume.
Yet in preparing the solution for
cutings, this thimbleful must be di
luted with a pint of water. However,
this infinitesimal amount is enough
to produce the roots, Dr. Wells sayB.
Most fruit trees, patted plants,
shrubs, and ornamental trees respond
readily to these auxins.
