1929. A total of 4.666,000 hogs were
received at the public markets and
packing plants for the year ending
Oct. 31, 192S. This does not include
local farm or city slaughter.
The coming Nebraska spring pig
crop will be 0.7 percent below the
spring pig crop of 192S according to
present lans of farmers. Even if
farmers carry out their expressed
intentions, the actual farrowings,
based upon past experience, will
likely fall below the above dncrease
due to losses, changes in plans and
failure of part of the sows to far
row. During the past five years the
actual spring farrowings have fallen
12 percent below the intended far-
rowings.
The fall pig crop for the United
State was 5.3 percent less and the
spring pig crop 7.1 ercent less.
This indicates about 6.5 percent re
duction in the pig crop for the year
ending, Oct. 31, 1929. Farmers are
lanning to breed 5.4 percent more
for next spring farrowing.
During the past five years, the ac
tual spring farrowings have fallen
9.2 percent below the intended,
which may be .accounted for by
either changes in plans, losses or
failure of some -sows to farrow or
