Situation Not As Bad As In 1934, Reports A. E. Anderson The blow against Ne- bra.rtka feed grain supplies is reflected in slashed hog production. but the situation is not as bad as it was in the fall of 1934, Statistician A. E.

The 1936 fall pig crop, however, is 63 per cent under the 1932-33 average. Plans for the spring of 1937 indicate that Nebraska farmers will farrow 396,000 sows drop of 54 per cent from the 1932-33 average. The figure.

Adding to the unfavorable aspects of the Nebraska hog situation is the fact that for the nation as a whole the fall pig crop is up 5 per cent over the fall of the increase being accounted for by operations outside the corn belt. Farrowing plan.s for the U. S. for next spring indicate a 5 per cent decrease in the spring pig crop as compared with the spring of 1935. (By the Associated Press.i WABASH.
