A Nation of Cry-Babies.

Increase in price of hogs compared to the price of corn, will pay farmers better to feed their corn to their hogs and sell it as pork than to put the corn on the market in persona propria. Chicago stockyards are glutted with hogs, while the shortage of corn is hampering other branches of agriculture which also need corn for feed, and many sections of war industry, which use it in making alcohol plastics, paper, and other materials. The Department of Agriculture, largely responsible for this disarranged corn-hog ratio, has always been orientated toward the Midwest and is as Republican minded, even under Democratic Administrations, as the corn belt.
