Virginia Service Lists Farmers’ Pig Plans For Spring 1 "'Virginia farmers’ reports on breeding intentions for the spring of 1953 indicate 80,000 sows to farrow between December 1 and June 1. a decrease of 18 per cent from 1952. This will be the small est number of sows to farrow in the spring since 1945. Low prices for hogs in relation to feed costs and the small 1952 corn crop are the chief reasons tor the antici pated decline. If present breeding intentions are carried out and the number of pigs saved per litter equals the 10-year aver gc at 6.4, the 1953 spring pig crop would be about 512,000. a drop of 22 per cent from 1952, the Virginia Crop Reporting Service states. The fall pig crop, estimated at 536,000 pigs was slightly less than had been forecast last June and was 10 per cent less tnan the 1951 fall crop of 598.000. Thre average number of pigs saved per litter was 6.7 which was slightly below the 1951 average of 6.8. The num ber of sows farrowing this fall was estimated at 80.000. 9 per cent below the fall of 1951. The spring pig crop amounted to 657,000 head which was an in

crease of one per cent over the 1951 crop. The average number of pigs saved per liner, estimated at 6.7. was unusually lull and Una accounts for the large nu.i.ix . of pigs saved since tlio number ol sows farrowing was 98.000 com pared with 103.000 in Id T Total number of pigs saved during the year was 1.193.000 wnich was a decrease of 4 per cent from the 1951 crop but was 5 5 per cent above the 10-year avearge.
