Senator Guy M. Gillette asks Secretary Wickard and Price Administrator Henderson to raise lard price ceilings. He cites large 1941 pig crops and sow gains, arguing heavier hog weights reduce corn surplus and avert farmers culling hogs. A large buyer suggests 12 to 15 cent ceilings would push hogs to maturity.

Seasonal Decline Seen in Iowa Egg Prices Says Expert
A. D. Oderkirk of Iowa State College notes that recent egg price drops in Iowa come mainly from seasonal declines and reduced government buying. He says rumors of halted federal purchases are unfounded and that USDA plans to support prices at 85 percent of parity this spring through boosted purchases for export and lend-lease needs. Iowa hosts about 175 egg plants and four drying plants with 15 million pounds capacity, plus 20 breaking plants.
