Hunger remains after food conference, delegates say
Delegates at the World Food Council in Rome say the United Nations World Food Conference increased concern but has yielded little tangible aid in the seven months since its meeting. A Sri Lankan delegate notes widespread pessimism and doubt that developed nations will commit enough.

Hog and pig inventories hit 11 year low in June report
Washington AP—The Agriculture Department said hog and pig inventories on U S farms June 1 were the lowest in at least 11 years. The December May pig crop of 35 3 million was the smallest since 1935, with forecasts for the fall crop the lowest in 21 years. Prices are expected to rise through early 1976 as slaughter and feed costs influence livestock markets.
