STATE FARMERS SEEKING ADVICE ON HOG VALUES

Indianapolis, Sept. 11. —-In a telegram addressed to President Wilson at Helena, Mont., the chief executive is asked by the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations if he would advise, in view of the slump in the price of hogs, that farmers hold their hogs until there is a rise in price. The telegram declared that tremendous losses by the farmers will cause a shortage in meat and grain products next year and insists that “immediate steps be taken to stop losses that have been sustained on farm products "'during the last two weeks.” In the meantime, officers of the federation stated, farmers of Indiana are being advised to be prepared ito hold all their hogs on the farm until the market condition is such as to warrant them in putting their stock on the market.
