Food Administration wary on urging hog production rise
Prairie Farmer quotes the U S Food Administration saying it likely will not repeat last winter’s request to feed hogs for weight. Hog growers remember packers’ actions that harmed the heavy hog market last spring and would likely ignore such a request. The agency should proceed slowly on patriotic appeals for increased output until the market can absorb it.

Prairie Farmer notes President Wilson vetoed a bill to raise the price of wheat to 2.40 at country elevators. It argues 2.26 at Chicago and 2.24 at St Louis are fair if grading and transport margins stay reasonable, and that farmers could profit at 2.00. The piece suggests farmers would accept the veto while seeking wage restraint elsewhere.
