Hogs For Home Meat and For Market
By GUY A. CARDWELL
Agricultural and Industrial Agent
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co.
There is no section that needs live
stock in its system of agriculture
more than fte cash-crop states of the
South.
Speaking of and for Tidewater
Virginia, and Tidewater and Coastal
Plain counties of fte Carolina, 1
would say that I do not believe there
are rural people anywhere who have
equal opportunities for a balanced
system of farming-crops and live
stock. Hogs arrive at marketable age
quickly. Let's have more hogs. We
have the feed let's take on the hogs
and live better on the farm and have
a crop to which we can sell home
grown feed and realize a snug pro
fit on fte transaction.
A good many thousand feeder pigs
have been received in the Carolinas
recently from drought stricken Ne
braska and South Dakota. Most of
these pigs will travel to market at
200 pounds or more, and a happy
thing is that some of fte gilts will be
retained for breeding and reproduc
tion. - According to fte Bureau of -Agricultural
Economics, United States De
partment of Agriculture summary of
fte hog outlook for 1937, the yearly
average of hog prices in 1936-37 pro
bably will not be greatly different
from that of 1935-36. Although the
total live weight of inspected hog
slaughter in fte marketing year, be
ginning October 1 is expected to be
larger than that of fte previous year,
fte effect, of fte increased supplies

ill
on hog prices will be largely offset
by the further improvement m con
sumer demand now in prospect. A
strong storage demand for hog pro
ducts in the last three months of 1936
reduced supplies of beef cattle, and a
strong demand for brood sows in the
spring and summer of 1937 will also
be strengthening factors in the hog
price situation in 1936-37.
The seasonal changes in hog prices
in 1936-37 are likely to be somewhat
different from those of 1935-36. The
proportion of the total slaughter
supply for the year represented by
the Octo'ber-to-Decem'ber slaughter is
expected to be relatively large, and
the total slaughter will be much
greater in this period than it was a
year earlier. These increased supplies
will offset in part the increase in de
mand in prospect, hence the seasonal
decline in hog prices during this
period probably will be about average.
Hog slaughter is expected to be re
duced materially after the beginning
of 1937, as it was in early 1935, and
it is anticipated that hog prices will
advance rafter sharply from January
through March. Marketings of butch
er hogs in the late summer of 1937
are likely to be relatively small in
view of fte reduced fall pig crop in
1936. The corn crop prospects in
1937 are favorable, it is also probable
that a larger-than usual proportion of
sows will be held for breeding and
that fte number marketed in the sum
mer of 1937 will be small. A further
advance in hog prices at that time
is probable, with prices reaching the
highest level -for the present market
ing year in the late summer or early
fall.

Dox Nixon, flashy forward, will
be in the game showing the stuff
that put him on top of last year's
season.
Fred Cam pen or Zack Harris will

other forward post, on Friday night
iMac is a newcomer to the squad
this year and has done some splen
did work. He will be called on for
plenty this season.
Billy Hardcastle, another forward
and also a newcomer to this years
