SECTOR FREDERICK VAN NUYS MAKES INVESTIGATION ABOUT ALLEGED GRAIN IMPOTATION
as bearing on this subject, 11 seems to me that the letter of the Secretary of Agriculture is very illuminating. There being no objection, the letters were ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows:
The United > States imported 2,959,25G bushels of corn during , the calendar year 1934, but it exported 2,987,419 bushels. This country isi therefore not on an import basis. Both import and export/ were insignificant in comparison with the domestic production which was 1,380,718,000 bushels during the year. Expressed as a ratio, there was 1 bushel of corn imported for every 450 bushels raised domestically. The rumors regarding the volume of corn imports, or their effect in closing the markets in the Atlantic States, are therefore not to be taken seriously. The potential effect of Argentine corn on domestic grain prices is also much exaggerated. There would apear to be little'or no possibility that Quotations for our corn will be forced to the 50-cent market, as can be seen from the following calculations: ' , Buenos Aires future price (Feb. 26) for corn: Per bushel, for March
bushels (or. three-quarters), ,was i due to the J acreage abandonment pud < low yields resulting .from the 1934 drought. , .. v ’ As regards wheat, it is to be noted that imports amqnuted to 18,542,395 bushels in 1,934, while exports were 16,968,589 I’bushels, and if we include the wheat equivalent of flour exports, approximately
double this figure.
Only 9,000 bushels.of the imported wheat came from countries other than Canadh. The imports were not extraordinarily large, having been exceeded in both 1928 and 1930, among recent years. Imports commonly'average about 12,000,000 bushels/ but almost none of this is imported for consumption, the great bulk of the tonnage arriving for milling in ; < bond and subsequent exportation. • / In addition to this more or less fixed i “in bond’’..tonnage, , there have also bben.iifin l934,Vcoh^j(dfifr-. able imports! of V’wheat unfit for : ' ' ' .■, ;V ^> '
INDIANA FARMERS
MUTUAL INSURANCE CO. Indianapolis, lud., Jan. 28, 1935. Senator Frederick Van Nuys Senate Office Bldg^ Wash., D. C. Dear Senator: While I have never met you personally, yet I feel that 1 am acquainted with yon because of your public activity and the things you have done. The burden of ray letter is to secure some positive information touching a certain matter in connection with agriculture. It is thia: A friend of mine who has a lifetime of experience in th© grain business as a manufacturer has a son who is connected with the purchase and selling of grain and has a lot of contact with boards of trade in Indianapolis, Chicago, and elsewhere. From this point of contact I am told that no grain —that is, corn, oats, and wheat—is being sold east of Ohio’s eastern State line; that the grain being supplied in the district between there and the Atlantic, which would take in all of the New England States, is imported froui France and Argentina. Further, that because of this, ere many months, corn will drop back to near 50 cents per bushel, although it is commanding a rather attrac-
tive price at this time.
I would like to have your comment on this situation if such exists, or, in other words, I would like to know if it does exist. Mjr contention has always beep, Senator, that if we had the American market for the American producer we would not suffer so greatly be : cause of not having a foreign market. Further, the question arises in my mind, Why have the corn^hog control for the Corn Belt of this country and then permit a good portion of the United States markets to go to foreign trade t If this market was had by tbe American farmer in the great corn and wheat producing area, it surely would help a lot toward a good price. This surely could be malrwtained for the American farmer by a good tariff. * Pardon me for my discussion if it seems lengthly, and I hope yoit will not think I have transgressed in writing you. 1 would like to havq your comment for the reason tliatl while I am interested in insurance and am connected with the second largest mutual insurance company, in the United States writing like coverage. I am also interested ill agriculture, having a good farni consisting of 275 acres. This is good land for any one of the grain crops. Diversified farming is foflowed on this farm at the present ' timer i Assuring you that I shall appreciate a reply, I beg to remain, ; Yours very truly, ' Arthur H. Myers, President,
fruits, flour, and lard. It ia impossible for this country to be selfcontained in agriculturfcal products, for certain commodities cannot be grown here, while on tbe other hand we have natural advantages hr the production of other crops and can exchange these for the products we lack. It is impracticable, for example, to forego qottBn 'exports, cut the acreage in t ha|f, and devote the land to some crop which we do not import, say, tea or silk. Theso commodities require rlarge amounts of labor, and ‘if produced- in this country would have to sell for several times the present figure to make production remunerative. The market would be restricted by the price and few could afford their purchase. It is far easier to exchange cotton for silk, and in such cases the fewer tariff barriers, the better. The way to prosperity for our farmers does not lie through further restriction on our foreign trade. On the contrary their interest—and this applies particularly to the farmers of your own state—is on the side of restoration of foreign markets for our surplus farm pro-
ducts.
, Sincerely yours H. A- Wallace, Secretary.

Senator Frederick VanNuys human consumption,” brought in for animal feed because of the drought; of duriuti, brought in because of the virtual ?failure of the crop of this.. spiocigl macaroni wheat; aiuT*of wheat fpr seed purposes. The drought,'sy damaged the (lurihn and other.sp'ring wheats that ii was deemed advisable to

livery .39 3-8 cents.
Average .40 cents; ocean freight (approximately) .10 cents, United Stales tariff duty .25 cents; cost at New York, minus profit .75
cents.
Thus the corn could uqt be sold in our Atlantic‘ports lor local consumption. at anything less than,, say, 80 cents per bushel', and to reach interior marketsSvouid have Lo pay rail freight ,iii addition. The following table regarding corn production 'and prices may-be of interest in connection wjth the discussion of restriction policies: Years acreage harvested—1932, 108,668,000 bushels; 1933,;. 103,260,000 bushels; 1934, 87,486,000 bush-

000; 1934, $1,085,565,000.
It will be noted .that the * produc; tion during 193.4 was somewhat less than half the. 1932 figure, but that the price .'increase, for 19.2 cents per bushel to 78.6'cents, and the farm value of the crop almost and one fourth of the reduction in
doubled. The decline in yield b er ' $238,828,000; 193
acre was, of course, due to drought,, ^
harvest acreage was due to a ban- —• ....
donment because of unfavorable weather. The reduction, in production had a strong effect in increasing the price; but a large part of the- price increase was due to vigorous Government action i u 1933 and 1934, espe'cially the corn-
loan program.
The extent to which, the low corn supplies were due to the drought, and the‘extent tb which they were due to the adjustment program is indicated by the following compari-
son:
If there had been u o acreage reduction in 1934, and an average yield per acre had been harvested (27.2 bushels), the crop would have been 2,800,000,000 bushels.' If acreage had been reduced only as : much as required by corn-hog contracts, and an average yield per acre had been harvested, the crop would have been about 2,450,-

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL- j
TURE
Washington, D. C., March 25, 1935! lion. Frederick Van Nuys, I United States Senator. ' Dear Senator Van >iuya: In reply to your letter of February 8, 1935, transmitting and Inquiry from Mr. Artemus H. Myers, president of the Indiana Farmers Mutual Uasurance Co. of Indianapolis, Ind..’ 1 I take pleasure in giving you af a statement regarding the policies of the Department of Agriculture in respect to the production and importations of grains. ’’ Mr. Myers states That he has heard indirectly that because of the excessive restriction of production, no domestic grain (corn, wheat, or oats) is now being sold in the Atlantic Coast States, all being supplied from France and Argentina, and that because of this importation, corn will soon decline to about 50 cents per bushel: He asks whether this is true, and states that if it is correct the rer striction and tariff policies need modification. He desires higher tarffs so that the domestic market may be reserved for the American
producer.
In common with many others; Mr. Myers is apparently under the imporession that the Department of Agriculture has restricted the production of all grains, and that decreases in the supply must he ascribed mainly to such action, Wheat and corn are the only grain: products under restriction, and heavy declines in production of oats, barley, and rye are due solely to drought. Inasmuch as the De partmeut of Agriculture has had nothing to do Vith control of these latter grains, no discussion of their movement will be given, and attentive will be confined to corn and wheat alone. . The yields of the principal kinds of wheat for the three years are summariaed below; f Winter wheat, 1982, 478,391.009; durum wheat, 1933, 40,moOO; other spring wheat. 3:26,837,006;

KCtpiRAL
SAVE, PROTECT, AND PUSH ’ THE PIGS What a change we have in the hog situation as compared with the average of the last five years. According to government figures the average pig crop for the last five years has been approximately fifty million spring pigs. The number of brood sows farrowing in the spring has been approximately nine million and the government estimate for the spring of 1935 is five million. The fall pig crop for the last five years has been in the neighborhood of twenty-eight million. The fall pig crop for 1934 was about fifteen million. The number of brood sows farrowing in the fall of 1934 was also materially re-
duced.
Many of the fall pigs have gone to market light; consequently pork production has been considerably reduced. The number of pigs on farms January 1, 1935, according to' government figures, is the lowest in fifty years. The law of supply and demand will certainly justify' the fact that pork production should be profitable for some time To come. With the j reduction in the number of brood sows it is certainly going to be very desirable for the Armer to give the brood sow careful attention at farrowing time. He can well afford to spend some time with his brood sows trying to help save the pigs when born. Placing the pigs in a barrel or box containing some, straw- beneath which is a jug of warm water will help to keep the little pigs warm while they become dry. This practice will insure more vigor and vitality in the tittle pigs and will also help them prevent picking up infection in the farrowing pen. It is. surprising how much vigor a little heat adds to the little pigs. Self-feeding the brood sows and pigs after they are two weeks of
of good proteins blended to give about an. 18 per cent protein mixture may be placed before the brood sows and the little pigs when the pigs are two weeks old. Up until the time when the pigs are two weeks of age the brood sow should be fed sparingly in order to give her body time to adjust itself to the program that is adopted, that is, of feeding the lit-
tle pigs.
Government figures show that self-feeding the brood sows and little pigs has been a factor in reducing the cost of pork production. As a matter of fact it required 140 pounds less of feed per 100 pounds of pork produced up to weaning time when the brood sows and pigs were self-fed as compared to when they were handfed. In addition this practice increased the rate of gain of the lit-
tle pigs about 30 per cent.
A further advantage due to the self-feeding of brood sows and little pigs up to weaning time is the fact that the little pigs do not know when weaning time comes. Brood sows can be taken out of the lot and the ration continue^ on the little pigs for two weeks after which they can be placed upon a self-choice system of corn
and protein supplement.
In view of the fact that clover pastures are going to be short and many seedings have failed as the result of the drouth of 1934, farmers will do well to keep in mind the importance of feeding some protein along with their farm grains and obtaining most economical gains on their pig crop this year. Undoubtedly the old market cycle of good prices for
NRA in brief: Make prices so high the many can’t buy; better loaf for ages than work for low wages.
