| COMPARE HIGH AND LOW
PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS
The average price received by pro-
ducers of the United States for hogs
during April fell below $8 per $100
pounds for the first time since March,
1916, according to a report by the
Bureau of Crop Estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The average price for April reached
the low mark of $7.86. The highest
price reached at any time was dur-
ing August, 1919, when the average
was $19.30 per 100 pounds. Prices
|advanced more or less steadily from
1916 to 1919, then took a rather
| rapid drop during the latter part of
1919. During 1920 the average price
for each month was between $13 and
$14 until December, when it dropped
|to about $11.
The price which producers received
for cotton seed reached the lowest
mark in April since November, 1914,
when it was $14,01 per ton. The
average price for last April was
$17.23 per ton, as compared to the
peak price of $72.65 in November,
1919. The low price in 1914 was the
result of the big crop produced that
year, which amounted to 15,873,002
bales.
The price of wool in April was be-
low 18 cents, which is the lowest
since May, 1912. In March and April,
1918, the average price of wool was
60 cents a pound.
SEEK INFORMATION OF
CHINA’S COTTON INDUSTRY
More trustworthy information as
{to cotton production and consump-
[tion in China is expected to be made
available as a result of a recent con-
ference between Mr. Chunjen C.
Chen and officials of the Bureau of
Markets and Crop Estimates, United
| States Department of Agriculture.
| Mr. Chen, since his graduation from
| Cornell University, has spent much
lof his time during the past two or
[three years in and about the Depart- |
{ment of Agriculture and at southern
| experiment stations in an intensive
[study of cotton breeding, marketing,

lage o fthe Chinese Cotton Mill
|Owners Association.
{ On Mr. Chen’s return to China in
{June he will undertake for the asso-
ciation to develop the cotton industry
of that country on a scientific basis.
| Among his plans he now hopes to
have the association undertake cot-
{ton statistical work along the same
lines as that now carried on by the
| United States Department of Agri-
{culture.
{ At present no trustworthy sta-
| tistics of cotton are obtainable from
| China, so this project is expected to
[prove of great value to this country,
especially since Mr. Chen also hopes
{to be able to produce American Up-
land long staples in China. It is now
estimated that China produces an
nually about 3,000,000 bales of short
staple cotton, practically all of which
lis consumed locally, such long staple
as is consumed being imported in the
form of combed yarns.
In growing long staple
however, it is possible that
|may become a competitor
i United States in the world
[provided enough were produced for
export. Accurate cotton statistics
[would keep the trade in this country
informed as to the amount of cotton
being grown and the size of China's
exports and imports which would en-
lable American dealers to handle their
| product more intelligently.
[PRICES OF MEAT ANIMALS
| LOWEST IN 10 YEARS
Prices of meat animals (hogs, cat-
[tle, sheep and fowls) to producers of
[the United States decreased 9 per
{cent from March 15 to April 15, ac-
{cording to a report issued by the
{Bureau of Crop Estimates, United
[States Department of Agriculture. In
the last 10 years prices paid for meat |
animals have increased 4.5 per cent
during the period from the middle of
[March to the middle of April. The
[report shows that on April 15 the in-
{dex figure of prices for meat animals
| was about 37.9 per cent lower than a
[vear ago; and 16.3 per cent lower
than the average of the last 10 years
{on April 15. The statisticians of the
department point out that the high
{prices paid for meat animals during
[the last few years is the result of in-
|ereased demand during and im-
| mediately following the war, and that
the present prices are approaching
{those which maintained during nor-
{mal times preceding the war.
ARMY AIRPLANES “CRUISE”
OLYMPC PENINSULA
BLOW DOWN
Airplanes, with Army officers as
| pilots and men from the Forest Ser-
|vice, United States Department of
| Agriculture, observers, recently
{completed an air “cruise” of the
{Olympic Peninsula forests in the
State of Washington devastated by
[the tremendous tornado of January
29. From data and photographs
{collected during these fights, forestry
experts estimate that 63% billion
board feet of timber was blown down
[by the storm, and today forms one
of the greatest fire traps in the his-
[tory of the country.
The storm swept area extends
along the west side of the Olympic
{Peninsula from Clollam Bay on the
north, southward for some 90 miles
{to Grays Harbor, and inland from
the coast a distance of from 20 to 30
miles. The storm was the most se-
vere that has visited the Pacific coast,
Iso far as evidence is available, an es-
timated velocity of 150 miles per
hour being reported.
{ The amount of wind-thrown timber
on State, Indian reservation, and
[private lands is estimated at approxi-
mately 6 billion feet, and on National
Forest land at 750 million feet. Dis
trict Forester George H. Cecil, of
Portland, Oreg., who was an in
terested spectator from the “hurri-
cane deck” of one of the planes, re-
ports that the wind-thrown areas are
very spotty—in some places practie-
ally all the trees being down, while in
others but little damage resulted
from the wind. Only a small amount |
‘of the down Bris, it is said, can be |
salvaged, because of the lack of |

in this '

say that the most stupendous con-

would result. Special appropriations
have been passed by the Federal and
State Governments to meet this
emergency, and strict measures will
be taken to prevent fires starting
from human agencies.
