Hog Industry Credits Farmers Mortgages and Exports
The report notes 61 million hogs on US farms as of January 1 and cites The Wall Street Journal essay on hogs easing mortgage burdens. It details hog processing, freight, and salaries, and claims hogs bolster export balance and farmer prosperity. It argues Western states lead in wealth via hog production and urges wider adoption despite slow realization. It mentions Panama Exposition plans for Washington’s 1915 representation and a Klamath County sheriff contempt threat over a whipped sentence for a wife-beater.
