'statement; `Tit is hoped that enthusiasm for exporting grain will not divert attention from building up a sound and pro-. fitable live stock industry." A little over a year ago when there were so many hogs goring to market we heard on all sides "It's too bad hog prices are so low abut the farmers can only blame themselves. If only they would' control productiorn like the rest of us, they could have a good price" (and the privi- lege of being =employed).
