Corn being the principal hog feed, we may ask, has the demand for corn for other purposes been unusually. Figure 23. — Relation of the price and supply of hogs to the price of corn at Chicago. The price curves are so drawn that when one bushel of corn produces 10 pounds of pork, the amount which the hog price curve rises above the corn price curve represents the net returns from the extra labor of breeding and feeding. In 1906 and 1907 there was a large profit in feeding corn to hogs, while in 1908 there was a loss. The figures on the margin represent the monthly high price of corn in cents per bushel; the monthly high price of hogs in tenths of cents per pound and the monthly receipts of hogs in tens of thousands. great?
