ÜBCATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1935.

FIRST ARTICLE i IN SERIES BY STATE SCHOOL Outlook For Farm Production In 1936 Discussed By Purdue (Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of articles on "The Outlook for Indiana Agriculture in 1D36. Information contained in the series is taken from the report prepared by members of the Puruue university department of farm management In cooperation with the various divisions and departments of the department ot agricultural extension, agricultural experiment stations, and school of agriculture. The outlook for hogs, beef cattle, sheep and dairy products is covered in today’s article. Poultry and eggs, horses anti mules and feed supplies will be discussed in the next article.) Lafayette, Ind., Dec. 20—Great ly reduced market supplies and somewhat improved consumer demand, resulting in prices that were markedly higher than the 1 year previous, characterized the hog situation during the marketing year from October Ist, 1934, to September 30th. 1935, and the same situation is expected to exist at least during the first halt ol ‘the 1935-30 marketing year. The downward trend in hog production which negan in the fall oi 1923 apparently ended with the small spring pig crop of 19,35, and increasing production may be ex- ; pected during at least, the next two years. Increased feed supplies along with reduced livestock num- : bers, are resulting in a corn-hog ration, which at least during the first half of 1936 will be very fax orable. to hog production, as contrasted to the unfavorable cornhog ration of 19.34. and will likely result in substantial Increases in farrowings during 1936. The 1935 spring pig crop in the United States was estimated to be 49.6 percent smaller than in 1934. while the reduction in Indiana was slightly smaller, with 2,100,000 head reported, a reduction of 12 percent. However, the estimated number of sows to farrow ift the United States was reported to be an increase of 19.5 percent, while Indiana practically kept pace with an increase of 20 percent. Season distribution of marketings of hogs during the 1936-36 marketing year will be much diff erent than in 1934-35. Hog slaughter during the first quarter oi the year will represent a much smaller proportion of the yearly total and that during the last quarter will be a relatively larger proportion than during the past year. It is also expected that hogs slaughtered during the first half of the, marketing year will average somewhat heavier than for the same period of the past year. While estimates as to the size , of the. 1930 spring pig crop nave | not yet been prepared, the plentiful supply oi feed and the very i favorable corn-hog ration are fan-, tors favorable to an increase in I the 1936 crop. What is done ini the way of production control will ol course affect this increase. 1 The very drastic reduction in 1934 nll <t IMS will also tend to hold the upswing of the cycle in check. Observance of quality, proper market weight and finish, and seasonal marketings are of equal importance to the Indiana farmer as in former years. Largely as a result of serious drought conditions which covered beef cattle producing areas in 1934, the cattle population of the United States was reduced approximately ten million head during the period from .lune Ist. 1934. to, Tuly Ist. 1935. Although the num 1 her of cattle on farms oti Jan miry Ist 1935. was three million more than the 1929 figure- the low point of the last beef cattle cycle, the increase was accounted for in dii ify stock, ahd it appears that the cycle, which would normally have reached lowest production m 1940 to 1942. WHS abruptly terminHl 1934 and a new production ±?e is likely to begin in 1935. It appears likely that the «aHI« P>“' duction of the United States wHI bc about the same on Ja»<mry Ist 19,36. as it was n year previous. The denrnml f'"’ l ’"" 1 Products is likr |y to continue through most ot 936 equal <o or slightly in excess that which prevailed during 1933. and all factors considered, the producer of beef seems to bc I „ a relatively strong position.

68c A Pound BIRh ' v*;* W V’ | * * This 260 pound Purdue Model V. nine months old. brought 67 cents r, live pound when sold io the Sherman Hotel in Chicago. The hog was crown°d the grand champion of the International Livestock Exposition. It is a record price for the Chicago stock yards. Tile hog was bred, raised and shown by Purdue University. However, with feeder cattle selling at prices materially higher than a year ago, it is likely that Ihe combined cost of feeder cattle and feed cost may be higher than for 1934 or 1935 Also, choice well fin islied cattle are not likely to coin mand the premium over lower grades that they did during 1935, due to adequate supplies of the principal feed grains in the light of existing conditions, speculations in beef cuttie should be kept to a minimum in 1936 and emphasis placed on production. The greater the contribution of the feeder to the finished product, the better Ids chances for profit during the com ing year. With a definite trend in the direction of larger acreage of meadow and grass land in Indiana encouraged by production control 4>rograms, many farmers have profitably added a beef production herd to their farming upit. There are still other farms in Indiana with an abundance of roughage and pasture where such a herd should prove to be profitable. While original costs of such a herd will be greater at present than during the period from 1933 to 1935, it is expected that the markets will return satisfactory profits to producers of beef for the next four or five years. Sheep numbers in the Inited States have continued on tindownward trend of the production 'cycle after having reached a peak in 1931, but with improved range; i conditions and increased feed pro-1 ! duction this year, it is probable | : that the number of stock sheep in I the western states on January Ist, I [ 1933, will be ho smaller and may 1 be larger than a year earlier. I Wool production in-this country I in 1935 was smaller than the prev-1 ions ydiir and sofhn decrease “ns | occurred in foreign wool produc-| lion. Stocks of wool in all positions in this country at the ond of September this year were materially, smaller than a year earlier, Domestic mill consumption of | wool in the first nine months of 1935 was very large following the very small consumption in 1931. Although mill consumption in 1936 is not likely to be as large as In 1935, it probably will not decline to the very low level of 1934. 1 : Most factors point toward sustained or higher dairy prices in 1936. With tliis price situation and with the prospects of lower feed costs In Indiana in 193,6 tlrnn t>r r vailed in 1935, a more favorable feeding ration seems likely at least during the first half of 1936. However, in whole milk areas local conditions may have more influence than the general econom sic condition. In addition to the prospect for a more favorable feed ing dairy ration, most all Indiana dairymen have an abundance ot feed to carry their herds through this Winter, which places them In a more favorable, situation from the farm income standpoint than lust year, when much feed Hau io lie purchased in certain arcus. — o — I Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

GIVES RULING i ON POTATO ACT I AAA Headquarters Issues Rules On National Potato Act ■ Restrictions on potato production proposed under the potato act nave heen lifted to permit any potato grower whose annual average I sale of potatoes during the years : 1932-35 was 50 bushels or less to I .'eceive a tax-free allotment of potatoes equal to his annual sales, according to word received by L. £. Hoffman, who Is in charge of I oe educational phases of the agriultural adjustment administration ork in Indiana, from AAA headuarters in Washington, D. C. | Hoffman also received word that jnsuiners buying potatoes in the .dinary way are exempt from any lenalties under the potato act of 935. The penalty provision,in so | ar as the ordinary consumer is oncerned, applied only to persons no knowingly violate the act by mrchasing potatoes which were not packed in closed and stamped ontainers at' the time of the first . sale, or, in other words, direct . froth tile producer. These rulings . ipply only to potatoes dug after December 1, 1935. "This means,” said Huffman, I that a buyer would not violate he Act unless lie purchased pota.oes direct from the grower, w’hilc Knowing that the grower had not ■omplied with the requirements xf the Act with regard to packagg and stamping.

Hoffman 1 pointed out, "should ease the minds of both the email producers and the consumers as to the production and sale ot potatoes during the coming year." It is the plan ot the officials of the potato section of the AAA to organize local county committees or boards to handle applications for tax free warrants, quotas, and for local admlnisratlon of the act as soon as possible. HESSiANFLIES DAMAGE WHEAT Late Warm Weather Re suits In Considerable Damage To Wheat Urbana, 111., Dec. 20—Because of continued warm weather far into the fall this year, a late brood of Hessian fly is doing considerable danqige to wheat in many sections and may necessitate the reseeding of some fields next spring, accord ing to W. P. Flint, chief entomologist tor the college of agriculture, UniversTFy of Illinois, and the Illinois natural history survey. The fly damage was brought about by the emergence of a brood at least a month after the normal date of seeding for highest yield. Flint said. With the mild fail weather, eggs laid at that time developed, causing the present Hessian fly infestation. Usually eggs laid after November 1 will not develop sufficiently to cause serious damage.

DEVELOP NEW CORN VARIETY New Type of Golden Bantam Corn Distasteful To Corn Borer East Lansing. Mich Dec. 20— <U.R)~A new variety of Goldeu Bantam corn, so distasteful to the destructive European corn borer that it would rather starve than eat it. has been developed at Michigan State College's experimental station here. Its development and the fact that the borer’s distaste does not extend to human palates, were disclosed at the recent convention of the Michigan Vegetable Growers' Association at Grand Rapids by Prof. C. H. Mahoney. "We have been working on this new corn for six years,” Mahoney, college vegetable n;eclaltat, said, "We have placed as high as ninety borer eggs on each plant. As the eggs hatch the larvae crawl off the leaves and starve to death searching for edible corn. Distasteful Element Mystery “We don’t know exactly why the borers won't eat this corn, but we

do know there is something distasteful about it," The new corn is a cross between the well-known American Golden Bantam, favorite oi ebrn eaters, and a South American field corn known as the Maize Amargo. Grasshoppers will not eat Maize Amargo, Manoney said, adding that it Is *‘ 7.‘ved the South American variety has provided the quality in the blend which the borer finds unpalatable. "Ine new variety, however, is as sweet If not sweeter than Golden Bantam," Mali ney added. "The ears are somewhat larger than the Golden Bnntam. We have produced the new corn In k. 10 and 12 row straina." Two more years of development will be required before the corn can be released for commercial production. The new variety promises to save the industry in American states where the European borer has caused untold crop destruction. New Melon Developed Coincident with the disclosure of the new corn. Mahoney revealed that the college experimental station is developing a new variety of honeydew melon that may make Michigan independent of Imports from other melon-producing states, "Our tests." he added, "show the new melons will keep perfectely for longer periods of time than usual varieties. Hut like the corn, it will require two more years to perfect." One of the other experimenU now being conducted by the college is that of creating an improved strain of brussels sprouts adapted to Michigan soil.
