Situation, A feature which has caused considerable con-siderable comment in the past several months has been the lowering ten. dency of hog price levels lower throughout the year, the decllns boinj noted until near the close of thi year when prices struck more or loxg of a steady keel. In some quarters this has been at. tributed to possible Increased pork supplies but receipts at the principal markets do not bear this out The supply for the year was virtually steady with' the preceding year but ,the weakness of the market cropped up in the 'demand and It is thought that an important factor In this weakening weak-ening was due to decreased exports of pork and pork products. ' A. decrease de-crease of around 30 per cent is recorded re-corded in exports for the year along with a S per cent decrease In lard exports. This is accounted for to a large extent by increased hog production produc-tion in European producing sections, with a heavy Increase In .European hog slaughter In the face of substantial substan-tial decreases In the number of cattle and sheep slaughtered. ' During 1927 the volume of pork In cold storage was heavier throughout the year than during 1926 and, no doubt, served to diminish buying power. pow-er. One way of accounting for these heavier stocks of pork was the anticipated antici-pated hog shortage which seemed 1m. mlnent In 1926, resulting in the lay. Ing in of larger supplies than normal to cover what was thought might be a perjod of short supplies during 1927. Although stocks of pork In storage at the beginning of the present year are heavier than a year ago, and the decreased export demand continues to prevail, it is evident that hog prices have reached a level in their downward down-ward movement which will probably not be passed for at least several months to come, with the possible ex ceptlon of local fluctuations which may occur at the various markets. There is a strong undertone to the market and if there were any appreciable appre-ciable change In the near future conditions con-ditions would Indicate that the trend would be upward. This Is, of course, justified to a large extent by three governing factors, these being the presence of a supply of hogs in the country which does not exceed re. quirements, the strong position of the sheep market and price levels being realized for beef cattle which every. thing indicates will be maintained at least during a good portion of the present year and perhaps longer. The Western hog producer is, of " course, fortunately situated in this instance as production of hogs West of the Rocky Mountains does not at this time exceed 30 per cent of the Western requirements and In California Cali-fornia It Is estimated that not over from 10 per cent to 15 per cent of local demands are tilled with protection pro-tection from within the State. So long as this situation exists, of course, the Western producer will receive the benefit of the differential In prices In his favor at the Cost markets, representing repre-senting the shipping expense and risk Involved In bringing In supplies from distant points, and is la, very likely that this differential will remain for some time to come as Increased West. em production la falling short of keep Ing pace with Increased consumer de mand represented by the constant growth' in population at Pacific Coast metropolitan consuming centers, o Many Farmers Still Rais- , ing Big Beet Crops B!g beet tonnage is still secured by many of our farmers who follow the crop rotation plan. Some of these men are giving their ideas with the hope of necouraging beet raising and the insurance of thhe operation of our factory. Isaac It. Peck tells what and how he grew last year's crop. "I commenced to raise beets for the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company in 1912 for myself. I have never failed as yet In planting from three to ten acres. The money received from the beets comes In the right time of the year to pay taxes. This coming year I want to increase the acreage of beets, so that the factory here can run, that I can get pulp nice - and warm for the cows, and to make em ployment for the boys of Lehi. In rotating our land we con raise better beeta. "in the rail of 1926 I cut my grain and plowed the land to kill weeds which grew after a grain crop. This land raised two crops of grain the previous years. Later I manured the ground heavily and plowed it deep and prepared three acres and a half for beets. I planted the beets early In the spring, but as there was a late frost and cold winds as the beets were Just coming up. I wasn't satisfied with the stand. In talking with the field man, Mr. Wlllam Wing he advised me to Irrigate the ground and renplant, which I did and the results were better than twenty-one tons per acre. I took good care of the beets, kept them free from weeds, watered every ten days, cultivated after every turn until they got too large for the cultivator. "I. R. PECK."
