Pork production and price controls urged for 1918
John C. Eldredge urges increased hog production due to war demand and a 40 million hog world shortage. He cites Food Administration plans to keep pork profitable with a minimum $15.50 per hundred and a 13 to 1 corn to pork ratio, urging careful expansion of sow numbers where feed permits. Also notes farmers should seed shock corn before October 6, as earlier cut seed remains viable.
