Baying For Replacement Forecasts Still Larger Sale*. increased material, labor and other casta are expected to contribute to a' alight advance In the cost of farm machinery ne^t year. Prices paid by farmers far equipment in creased about 2 per cent from September. 1934 to September 1935. and are n?r only S per ?ent below the 1925-*? price level. Prices of many items of Tarra machinery, particularly horse-dra^i Implements are now relatively high nam psifrt with prices of oth er commodities purchased by farmers. Wholesale prk** at several items of farm machinery are wow higher than at any time during the U yams far which prices hare been tabulated. ThAa la especially true of horse - drawn equlpasawt aoch as grate drills, mow ing machine* haprafcm awd corn _ planters.

If Industrial production Increases In 1936, some reduction In the number of work ers available for hire In rural areas may toe I expected. Barring abnormal weather conditions In 1986. crop -adjustment programs wttt be too pri mary factor determining dtops ? In form labor requirements. Decline In supply of farm workers during tbe pest year resulted from an Increase to employment In Industries, and from the abeorptlon of many surplus work ers by varions work coltef projects. Although sales of building materials have Increased considerably since taSt spring, there Is as yet no Indication of any major change In prices. Corn-HogContract Signers May Raise Production Quotas A proposal to permit siguas of eorn-hog con tract* to produce 10o p*r cent of their has? hog production next year received the unanimous approval of producers and state agricultural specialists In conference in Wash ington, tt wta announced by Claude %. Wlcfc ard, chief of the Adjustment Administration's corn -hog section. Producers -who attended the conference stated that this provision In the new two-year voluntary corftract to be offered corn and hog produce^ In 1030 *and 1037 would permit a 80-per cent Increase tn hog production In 1000 and. an Increase In Federally Inspected slaugh ter of from 7 to 0 million head in 1000-07 over the slaughter expected In the present year *hich began October 1. flnrh a production In 1930 would be about 20 per cent under the- average annual production in 1002 and 1933. Though hog production In 1008 was limited to 00 per cent of 1939-1938 produc tion, tt was pointed ' out by Administration ?officials that sot one of the major bog pro ducing states was able to rsach the maxi mum because wf the severe drought-enforced liquidation of ho* In 1084. v The conferees recommended ? n*g adjust ment payment ?f 08-00 for each hog produced up to 50 par cent of each signer* base. The payment would be tt^ same for a production ranging from 00 per cent to 100 per cent Of the producer's base.

Increases will not oocur until tats 1936. The 1S94 drought wiped out most of the lncreass in number of meat animals which had occurred from 1MB to the beginning of 1894. There was a further decreass In 1930. But over the next four years a marked ex pansion In livestock numbers and meat pro duction is In prospect with the hupest in creases In hogs. * ? However, governmental actions of one ktsML or another may considerably affect the tread in livestock numbers. For Instance, should the number of hogs be limited by a control program far hogs and feed grstna, the In crease in cattle and sheep raising tn the earn belt protNibly would be greater than If no pro gram were adopted. The cotton and tobacco- acreags reduction programs will tend to increase pasture and forage-crop acreage tn the cotton belt end to Ihttessu livestock production in the South. The net results of these dlffoton* factors influencing livestock production probably will be to perpetuate a situation caused temport ly hy the 1994 draught; that is, be den1 8 ass somewhat the proportion of livestock produc tion In the Great Plains and westward, mad to lncreass the proporation east of the lAs aisslppl Rtsnc. ? . : Five More Stale* Are Now Free Of Bovine Ttribercoloek ' A FItb nor* states ha** been officially <Jss lgnated u modified accredited on by ?hs 0. 9.

Animal Population Balance between feed supply an* the lum ber of farm animals la better today than for a number of years, says the outlook report of the bureau of agricultural economies Ifee supply of feed gsalna. Including carryover of old crop grain, portable amounts of wheat and rye tbat may be fled, and the prospective supplies by by-prodwt floods totals about 1M.OOO.OM torn AUowtng for on avenge carryover Into nfxt season, and for commercial use of food grains, tbe ltM-36 supply of these Items for feed purposes would give eaeb grain -consuming animal unit, Including poultry, about tbe i same quantity m on tbe average of the foars iNMi to mm Hay supplies, after making adjustments far carryovers at tbe beginning and the end of tbe season, provides nearly 1 per cent more tannage per hay consuming animal unit than on Hie average' In the years 1020-J9. Hay sup plies are high In comparison to tbs last Ave yeara. With normal weather conditions In the spring of 1ASB and continuation at the corn-hog program, a smaller grain -sorghum acreage, not much change In oate and barley acreage, and a slightly Increased corn acreage may be expected. Some decrease In so/bean acreage for grain and also for hay or forage la In prospect. The lncresse In corn may not fully offset the prospective reductions In grain sorghum* and soybeans. Average yields on the prospective actus of feed grains would give a 1936 production about 5 per cent larger than in 1M5, but such production would be leas than the 10M-38 average. The increase in production of grain consuming livestock probably will bo as great or. greater than this increase In teed produc tion. o Entries At International To Total 12,000 Animals By WILLIAM *.
