ixxinc d on .September 30th 1938, will :ba htaut the save as is 3&87/ Tbe Bu-> i?n ef Agricultural Economics aays in its junol hoi outlook report 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. *R* Bureau indicates that a pro duction next year equal to or only slightly larger than the 1987 crop prohtMy itowM cause Exchange in nUtiriUFw BwQft uOO Jwf ; ..' . .. ?' ?' ? *' - to felftt compared wtth^t^ttWJ^ 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. THE ANSWERS! (Continued from page one) 1.

STATE COLLEGE 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. , Brief News Items Why not have a "Be Kind to People" Week" ' " " " | I 9 L C.

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 $60,000,000 a week. Shipments from Japan and Australia continue to arrive but improved conditions in Europe, coupled with Europeal fears of the temporary business lull and stock market declines in this country has caused the recall of European gold which has been deposited in this country on a temporary basis. Such gold is called "hot money" because it is apt to suddenly recalled by the country of its origin. The reversal of the gold flow is not considered injurious to this coun try and will have no effect whatever The sterilisation program kept the incoming gtjldrhom our bank re tem thue ^!on *?$. conversely, when the gold ia with Swn the ft* that it h*. m> effect upon bank reserve. prevents any tfriwip in the country's credit stnic tore.

Lew Monthly Dtocomfort lyrany women, who formerly , suffered from a weak, run down condition as a result of poor assimilation of food, say they benefited by taking CAR DItt, a special medicine for women. They found it helped to lncr***** the appetite and j Improve digestion, thereby bringing them more strength from their food. Naturally there is less dis comfort at monthly periods when the system has been strengthened and the various functions restored and regu lated.

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. TO STUDY GULLS Washington.?In order to make a study of the migratory habits of herring gulls, the Biological Survey banded with brightly colored bands 5,000 gulls. Fishermen, stevedores and ferry boat captains on the North Atlantic coast have been requested to aid in the survey by keeping a close watch for -these banded gulls and reporting it to headquarters.
