THIS vast American agricultural army
doesn't know the meaning of defeat.
These millions of American farm and ranch peo-
ple are advancing along the road to final victory,
shoulder to shoulder with the men and women in
the armed services. No "E" flags fly from the
ridge-poles of their barns . . . no medals are
pinned on their shirt fronts. Their reward is the
inner satisfaction of a job well done.
Look at their record of victories! In 1944, food
production again reached an all-time high--158,-
950,000 meat animals were slaughtered; 3,101,-
000,000 bushels of corn, 1,115,000,000 bushels of
wheat; dairy products, poultry, eggs, etc., in rec-
ord or near-record quantities! And because they
produced all this food, the meat packing industry
was also able to process and distribute a record
volume of meats--25 billion pounds.
Each year since the war started, what seemed
to be "impossible" goals' were set for food pro-
duction. Each year these objectives have been
reached and surpassed in spite of shortages of
help and machinery. Farmers and ranchers have
produced the staggering tonnages of foods re-
quired to feed millions in the armed services and
the rest of the nation at home.
America Is proud of the victories won by
this "Army That's Never Been Beaten."

CEILING PRICES ON LIVE HOGS
~Under the present regulations, the ceiling
price for all live barrows and gilts is $14.75
per hundredweight and for all sows, stags
and boars the ceiling is $14.00 per
hundredweight.
These ceiling prices are for Chicago only,
and vary from market to market. The differ-
ence between the ceilings for sows, stags and boars, and

What's Ahead for 1945?41 T.E EDITOR'S COLUMN
Another new year starts, full of promise, and questions
for American agriculture. Will the war end in 1945?
How much food will Europe need from us? Will rationing
and price controls be relaxed? What about the feed situ-
ation? These are but a few of the "ifs" we are up against
when we make plans for the coming year. TO help live-
stock producers, we here condense opinions reeenfly
expressed by War Food Administration economists.

CATTLE: They foresee for '45 an increase in the num-
ber of cattle and calves slaughtered, partially as a
i~vstflt of the tendency to reduce the size of herds.
They also expect an increase in the number of cattle
fed for slaughter. From 1946 to 1949, they expect a
gradual decline in slaughtering, with yearly slaughter
around 28 to 29 million head.
HOGS: Their estimate of total 1945 hog slaughter is
about 79 million, against approximately 100 million
in '44. They expect hog production in 1946 to be close
to 1945 levels, depending on the feed situation.

/n U, S. k 1944--420 sggs for every man, wom¢m ond ckVd
In nearly 20 years.with Swift &
Company, I have talked with
thousands of farmers and ranch-
ers in all sections of the United
States, and have tried to bring
about a better mutual under-
standing in the American livestock and meat
industry. I have benefited greatly from these
talks. But even in 20 years, a man can get the
viewpoint of only a relatively few people. That
is why this page has been born, so that we can
talk things over with more of you than it is
possible to do personally. We want your con-
structive ideas,-views, and thoughts for the
betterment ~f the Hvestock and meat industry.
We will welcome your suggestions and fair criti-
cism~ Any questions you raise will be answered
in these columns, or by letter.
Should you feel like writing me a letter about
any agricultural matter, please do so. Or if you
are in Chicago, drop in at my office at Swift &
Company, Union Stock Yards. If you haven't
time to visit, perhaps you can phone me at this
number--Yards 4200, local 710.
May the new year bring to all of you good
weather, good crops, good returns for your
work, good health, ,and an end of war.
