World Corn Production Shows Gain WASHINGTON (UPD -fhe Foreign Agricultural Service's latest estimate of world corn production in lf)(52-63 is 7,45.5,000,000 bushels. This is slightly above the 1961-62 total and second only to the record crop in lOfiO-61. 'The current estimate is 2 per cent above the fir.st forecast made in November.

At that time the revised figures for U. production in the fall of l9fi2 had not l)een made, and the crop in Southern Hemisphere countries for hai-vest in the spring of 1963 had just been planted. FAS said larger crops than were forecast are looming for Brazil and the Republic of South Africa. The present estimate for North America is 3,957,000,000 bushels. This is 21 million bushels above the 1961 figure.

The U.S. production of 3,644,000,000 bushels is the third largest of record. Yields in the United States were at an all- time high of 64.1 bushels per acre but acreage was the smallest for more than 80 years. The U.S. crop accounted for 92 per cent of the North American total.

Production of 32 million bushels in Canada was a near-record for that country. Farmers Earn Praise for Good Hog Marketing Job FAS said grain supplies in the four principal exporting countries on Jan. 1 were moderately below 19(52 supphes. Aggregate stocks of wheat, rye, barley, oatst and com iii the United States, Canadai Argentina, and Australia on Jan. 1 totaled 245 million tons, 10 million the comparable total for 1962, and 33 raihion below the supply peak in 1961.

The United States also had near-record stocks of sorghiun to add to the large grain surpluses. Soi'ghums are relatively unimportant in the other three exporting coimtries.

Maybelle Van Fleet returned Tuesday after spending past week with the former's parents at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. By LEONARD H. WOODS (Galesburg Order Buyers, Inc.) There has been a real nice advance in hog prices this week. Our good Eastern shipping hogs crossing the scales at prices ranging from iU.Tt to $15,215 are up $1.25 to a $1.50 per cwt. These lightweights first to show the advahce, but by mid-week medium weight butchers Vvefe $1 higher and packing sows were up 50 cents to 75 cents.

Farmers have done an unu.sual- ly good job of marketing during this rising market. They have not flooded the larger markets with excessive numbers, but have been fairly good sellers at home, taking time out from field work to sell hogs when the market suited them. Our receipts have been quite good and the quality of hogs being offered varied from good to excellent. Takes a Guess It is our guess that hog prices will run into a lot of resistance from now on. Rain definitely would cause lower prices and many of our packer customers rain or no rain they are going to cut their kills unless hogs start to cut out profitably.

It looks like a good time to sell all hogs carrying weight. Underweight hogs should do well in the feed lot and should make money when fed to topweights.
