The seed Is apparent as in order to meet the requirements of the rapidly Increasing Western consumer con-sumer demand, particularly on the Pacific Coast it is necessary to reach as far back as the Missouri River markets, to secure supplies. The Pacific Paci-fic Coast prices of hogs have outside of occasional fluctuations, maintain, eel a substantial differential over the Missouri River markets, this spread representing the shipping ex pense, shrink, Jobs and other items incident to long distance hog shipping and in favor of the Western hog producer. pro-ducer. This advantage will be main, talned until Western production meets Western demand, and this does not appear at all likely for many years as increases in production have scarcely maintained the present ratio of supply to demand, due to phenom- lnal Increases in population on the Coast In some quarters the opinion has been advanced that an over-supply of bogs is present on the farms In the United States, accounting for declining declin-ing hog prices during the past few months. This is not borne out by the census, as going back twenty years, the census shows that during that time 13 years showed substantially more hogs on the farms than is shown in January 1928. There has been a gradual increase since 1926 when there were 51 million hogs, 1927 with 64 million and 1928 with 58 million. However, in 1919 there were 74 million mill-ion hogs in the country and several other years showed amounts consider, ably in excess of the present number, so this would not indicate an over-supply. over-supply. It is true that there have been heavy marketings of hogs in the past few weeks, which may be attributed to a large extent to the strong position posi-tion of the corn market as last week's corn went over the $1.00 mark which was not anticipated last fall. In the face of heavy marketings, the hog market has held a remarkably" even keel due somewhat to the high prices of beef, bringing about increases in pork consumption which permitted the absorption of heavy hog receipts without pronounced breaks in prices. It is true that there is not as much corn available as was anticipated and that there are more hogs than were expected, but there seems little doubt in the minds of close observers that these heavy marketings will reflect themselves during next fall and wint ex In curtailing supplies which it Is reasonable to believe will result in stronger prices. The hog producer who stays consistently with his pro duction and is not an 'in and outer', attempting to follow the market and usually finding himself on the wrong side, will, no doubt, benefit during the next few months by having stayed with his production. The producer who raises hogs year main line of production, but carrying enough to follow his cattle or to sal. vage the many waste Items which are on every farm and dairy which can be turned Into pork, has shown good re. turns right along regardless of market mar-ket fluctuations. Hog production Is not a 'get rich quick' proposition but is a profitable, stable business and one which it will stand Western producers pro-ducers in hand to foster, always keeping keep-ing an eye to how economically hogs can be produced by utilizing waste products, rather than following the market In attempting to skin In and out of the business. In California slight increases In production are shown, but there are only about 60 percent as many hogs on the farms as there were ten years ago and the State Is still In the posi tion of importing from 80 to 90 per. cent of the hogs and pork products required to meet demands. This off ers an opportunity for producers, not only in California, but In the entire section lying West of the Rocky Mountains. Doubtless, even If hog supplies nationally should get to the point where they exceed the demand, the West has a long trail to travel before It brings Western hog produc tion up to a point where they will meet Western requirements. II f Heart Is Injured by America's Swift Pace More deaths occur today in America from various diseases of the heart than from any other cause, says the New York Times. A few years ago tuberculosis headed the list, bat while the number of deaths from this cause have been reduced, those from heart trouble of various kinds have Increased. In-creased. The decrease in the ravages of tuberculosis is explained by the great educational campaigns carried on throughout the country for combating the evil and to Improved sanitary conditions. con-ditions. The increase in heart troubles is attributed at-tributed largely to the Increasing pace of modern life In America. A decade ago the death rate from tuberculosis was 150.2 per 100,000. At that time the death rate from heart troubles was 140.9. A recent survey showed that while the rale for tuberculosis has been reduced to 114.2, that for heart disease has Jumped to 141.9. The highest fatality from heart disease dis-ease has been found in Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts in the order named. The lowest death rate Is reported in Montana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and Nebraska. It li Inor-alng in New York.
