Dr. A G Black of Town state college urges farmers short of feed to sell pigs under the emergency hog adjustment plan. He says selling lightweight hogs to avoid further risk and gain cash is prudent, with prices about six dollars per hundredweight for hogs 25 to 100 pounds, as the Agriculture Department plans to purchase four million pigs.
