The type of hog just mentioned on the contrary, is sold al a milch lower 'priec per pound than th "firm" or "hard" meat hog. Little us it might be believed there is an ac tual difference of between live anu six cents per pound, '.he ruling price re ceived in the South, andl nine cents and .sometimes more paid for the corn-fed hog of north and northwest. Snator Dial was astounded a few days ago whei lie visited one of the government eXmperiment stations - in Maryland, not far from 'Washington, and discovered that there was a con siderable difference in .prices paid the hog-raiser for the peanut-fed, oily hog, and the one fed on a coiin diet in the grcat northwest. Taking his observations gained at thi experiment station as a starting point Senator )ial carried these further an .what he shoss in a statement is sued here today will undoubtedly op el the eyes of the progressive fariers of the Smith to the wreat annual loss es they are suffering through the rais ing and nimarketing of a poor (uality of hog. It is Senator Dial's belief, from what he has discovered, that when the intelligent people of the South find what they are losing by feeding an In ferior diet anid how much more money they could get for their product wheni grown of the "-irm" or "hard tyipe, they vill lose little time in immediate ly follkrxing the more progressive methods of the thrifty hog raisers of the corn-belt section who are able to command top-notch prices because they have for sale tile real prime article In hog meat. Senator Di'al said that assuming tile differenlco in the southern and western hog to be but four or flive cotns a pound, and he believes it much more, the yearly money loss to the hog rais era in the South amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The essential peints ipon which Sen ator Dial is endeavoring to get light are these: 1. Tile various causes resulting in the production of soft and oily pork in the South with its consequent money loss to the people of .the. South; t2) the time eloment involved -in the pro duction and elimination of the oily con dition in hogs,* (3) the etaps necessary in production and steps necessary In the elimination of the oil condition in hogs. With the advent of the eo+o;n boll weevil, hog -production bas studdenly bocoine. an important industry in many parts of the South, but there'ai'e still serious diffleulties to be overcome be fore it can be carrie- 'on with any thing like real and permanent bucess. Not only did many farmei's after the b611 weevil got :into their cotton 'flds, begin their new hog marketing -aetivities with a .type of hlog much in feor to the northern .and wetseyn tylpe, but they also began w/ithtout a inli knowledge of the improvewd moth on or. of feeding and fln.sling ho'4s for Ooncretely, it is shown by Senator Diali that while feeding *on Spanish ieen'uts, .cow peas, i'olvet beans, sweet ipdtatee a:91 the various kiinds of gmasses produces a large; fat, ohly hog, it is thot of the "flim" or "hard'. meat kind and m'ustb necessarily bring a ,lower price when -placed on the mar Ite in~ conipetition with the ceorn-fed iestern product.- The people..in the South eh uld .not rely so m\ih Upoli hefeeds ernnumernted beoatise- g.-the <f6ct that titere .isalso, a good'protehii >feed in- fishmeal, tailkag4, and mzide Ilings or old process oil ~neal, ~4 I cannot emphasize -oo Atry6ngly, .~ enato" 'Dial said, ''the bad lpracti e Sthat many -of ~'ur farmera emipIy. in 'turning their young 14gsjanto tb,n ,ine - woods lor'aievoat m,6hiths in eac yMr elittlE or gO oth& food 4is proa de t$ e e1tho hogs taiay 1 0 NOT TRUE NOW Less goney for Farmer Than mal, Senator Dial Finds. 0'From the licaiut pasture, usually without any other feed, they are sent to marhIet and, of course, produce soft and oily pork. 'Data fron typical northern and 1western plants as well as that from ,those in the South, Indicate that the corn-fedi hog during the past year was marketed at an average weight of over fifty 'pounds greater than that from the South. Differences in finish, car cass yield, and weights of northern and western raised hogs in compari son with those from the South account, in large measure, for the low price laid for the latter. "Our soutliern farmners must improve their methods of -breeding and feeding, cooperate closer through sales and shipping associations, and find 'ways ,of extending the period for marketing their hogs more evenly throughout the year than is their present custom of' selling all they have in a- few months before they may hope to effectively re duce the live-hog differentials now ob taning li tIhe 'South. In this way on ly do I see any chance for our p1)ole to receive full vale for their hogs.

The committee then decided t( adjourn until May 31 to awaIt the de csion of Germany. The conclusion of the bankers wa: arrived at during their meeting thi: afternoon which was attended by Kar lBergmuann as representative of Ger eel I ............... K - f Le.*n, S;C many. -Borgmann Immediately telc - phoned the decislon of the bankers 1 to Beilin. In reparations circles tonight tile 1 view was advanced that the action of I the financIers probably would result - in complete acceptallceo by Germany of I all their conditions. It was further stat(ed that acquiesCence by Germany I in the reparations co1mission's con ditions; probably would be 1productive of a loan of 111010 than $1,000,000,00) ,ince the bankers have determined that a large 1oan11 could be arranged utider these circumstances. The financiers Completed their in quiry into the state of Germany's ffinances at this afternoon's session and it was explained that they had reached a point where Germany's guarantees must be forthcoming be fore tie Committee C(ould discuss the details of a loan, the security for. It and many other points. Tihe fact that tile international bankers have beell able to sec good possibilities for a loan, provided Ger many subscribes to certain conditions, Is regarded very optimistically in reparations luarters where it was pointed out tonight that the German governmillent could hardly afford to do othervise than agree.
