POR AVERAGE PRIGE LEVEL OF LAST YEAR Export Situation in Porkers Not; Favorable, as Supplies Abroad Increase SHEEP STILL BIG PROFIT Wool Not Expected to Undergo Import Pressure; Tur- keys Face Drop Hog raisers of North Dakota will probably get about the same average prices for their hogs in 1930 as they aid in 1929, according to Rex E. Wil- lard, farm economist of the agricul- tural college, whose recently prepared 1930 farm outlook foy this state is now available in printed form. No change in the hog business in this state for 1930 is advised. Hogs on farms in the United States Jan. 1, 1930, were 7'2 per cent less than Jan. 1, 1929, the farm outlook reveals. It is expected that supplies to be marketed during 1930 will be somewhat in proportion to the number on farms. . ‘The export situation for hogs is not favorable. Supplies of hogs in Europe are increasing, particularly in Ger- many, Denmark, and the other countries that supply Great Britain. No indication of increased buying power for American pork in Europe is evident, states Mr. Willard. Sheep and Wool | Sheep production in the United | States is now at its peak, and a down- | ward tendency in the prices of lambs; and wool is to be expected. While; prices will probably average lower in 1930 than in 1929, no sheep decline is likely for any long period. Demand for ewe lambs and ewes for increasing flocks has practically | ceased. There is no longer the einer, | in price between ewes and wethers, which has been $1 to $2 in recent years. This lessened demand for breeding stock will probably cause an increase in numbers available for slaughter. | ‘Wool imports have decreased as! production has increased in the) United States. However, the tariff has been effective in holding prices above | ‘the world level for the past two years. Foreign wool production is not ex- pected to increasc much further. Ar- | gentina has not increased production | since 1926, and the Australian wool | clip was less in 1929 than in 1928. “While some downturn is expected, | a decrease of 25 per cent from the! present price level of lambs and wool would still leave sheep one of the most | profitable enterprises on North Da-' kota farms,” declares Mr. Willard. Al- though no great expansion is recom- | mended, maintenance of present flocks | will undoubtedly return good profits, | he believes. | Poultry | An inerease in poultry and eggs in! 1930 over 1929 in the United States! will tend to reduce prices to levels; below those of recent years. Egg pro- duction promises to be 5 per cent greater this year than in 1929; a 10; per cent increase took place in 1929 | 1920 NEA SERVICE ME Ott Ne Tor. ‘She said the one she ordered was in 2 cuter box.” expected.

Turkey production was increased nearly 10 per cent in 1929 over 1928. Considerable improvement has taken place in production methods, and the Industry is now becoming specialized. | Better breeding, care and feeding, to- | gether with progress in the control of diseases, indicate lower production costs and increased volume.

In view the low Yields secured in 1929, and probably higher yields in 1930, an increased acreage would have a tendency to re- duce prices.

Auditing Account} BIG TRUCKS THAT RIP OUT HIGHWAYS Department to Use Portable Weighing Outfit, Also, to Restrict Overloading Some brand new signs wif make their appearance on the state high- ways this spring, particularly in the Red River valley. Every year the highway department has experienced difficulty in -keeping the roads open to traffic during the spring break-up. Their principal trouble has been the use of the roads during the early spring by heavy ve- hicles which tear. huge ruts in the surface of the highway. The water stands in these ruts and the road soon becomes a quagmire. Under the law, the: stat way department has the authority to close the use of roads by heavy vehicles at such times as they would be particu- larly damaging. At a recent meeting they directed Chief Engineer H. C. Frahm to make such provision as inay be necessary to carry out this policy. The new signs have been ordered with this object in view. One declares a road ble and warns motorists to keep off of it:| The other notifies all who read that the maximum weight of any vehicle, inchiding its load, which will be per- mitted on the road in question is three tons.

Munroe, minister of health, urges vaccination as the best protection. Since the commence- ment of the outbreak in October in. the city of Regina alone, there have been 144 known cases of the disease. Of this number 120 had never been vaccinated. Of this figure 33 have occurred during the present month. * The figures for 1929 show that there were altogether 142 cases as com- ‘pared with 15 in 1928.
