THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SWINE VALUES SHOW LOSS OF 85 PER CENT Retail Pork Price Declines Only 22 Per Cent for Year. By United Prett WASHINGTON, Feb. 11—The price of hogs today is 85 per cent less than a year ago, according to | bureau of agricultural economics of I the department of agriculture. The retail price of pork products, however, is only 22 per cent less. The total number of hogs at the beginning of this year was 9.4 per cent above the number a year before, the increase representing about 5,000,000 head. About 3,000,000 of this increase was in the corn belt. Hogs showed the largest percentage of increase in numbers and suffered the most drastic price decline of any class of livestock. The average price dropped from $11.36 to $6.14 a head during 1931. Increase Follows Decline Last year's increase in the number of hogs—which certainly had much to do with the drop in price—followed three years of decline. However, the danger that the 1933 report will show a total number in excess of the 59,511,000 reported in January is indicated in the bureau’s report of the “breeding intentions’’ of the industry. When adjusted for the usual spear between the breeding intentions reported in September and the actual farrowing reported the following June, the survey indicates there will be about 2 per cent more pigs farrowed this spring than last. However, the consumption of pork products has increased about 6 per cent—probably as the result of the 22 per cent drop in prices. Many Factors Considered At the beginning of the present year, there were about 559,000,000 pounds of pork in warehouses, a 7 per cent increase over the year before. The bureau was very careful not to forecast the 1932 activities of the hog market, but it did sum up favorable and unfavorable factors that 'will affect it. “Unfavorable factors confronting corn belt producers in the marketing year 1932-33 are an expanding hog production in the south and west, increasing numbers of cattle on farms, and continued large slaughter of sheep and lambs,’’ the bureau reported. “Favorable factors are decreased hog production in the corn belt and decreased European hog production in 1932.”
