Government to spur market for smaller hogs this season
Washington officials seek ways to encourage farmers to market smaller hogs to reduce a large pork surplus and lift depressed lard and hog product prices. With a record pig crop and weak exports, hog feeders may lean toward heavy weights awaiting sale. A new program offering export subsidies and domestic measures is expected within two weeks to boost lard and seed oil prices and boost foreign sales.

Veiled cotton loan plans amid price safeguards
Washington officials said the government would withhold announcing a cotton loan program for 1939 as long as domestic prices stay high. Loans remain in reserve to support prices if they drift toward last year's loan rate, with about 11.1 million bales tied up in stocks totaling roughly 30 million dollars. Prices near parity and a below normal 1939 crop could trigger loans, while officials stress restraint unless parity falls below 52 percent. In other news, George Houston, 75, cousin of Sam Houston, died in a Dallas hospital.
