Gilford~. N. H., Farmer Smith and his clan of 9 children
:ar/d-13 grandchildren formed
'the nucleus of the coed army
,which harvested sap from
hundreds of maple trees. It
takes 40 gallons of sap to
make one gallon of syrup.
New Hampshire was the
sixth ranking state in produc-
tion of maple syrup. These
photos show the harvesters
at work.

tirely the fault of the bureaucrats.
In normal times, 225 pounds is
good average weight for hogs. The
American market likes its bacon
lean. But for lend-lease purposes,
extra production was required, espe-
cially to supply lard for the Soviets.
So farmers were implored to feed
to heavy weights.
Came the corn shortage, and farm-
ers were implored to stop feeding,
market their hogs, and release the
corn for shipment to dairy and poul-
try areas. Each change was im-
plemented by shifts in the federal
price supports.
But the hog run became phenom-
enal. January's slaughter broke all
records. Hogs became a glut on
the market. Farmers couldn't get
near the slaughter houses. They
had to keep on feeding. Hogs auto-
matically got heavier, at the rate of
15 pounds a week.
But if they got over 300 pounds,
they passed the support level, and
the packers docked them. Fearing
to lose money, farmers jammed
their hogs into market channels, and
the run became chaotic,
So now Washington has swung
back again, and is inviting farm-
ers to feed to heavier weights. The
support price has been extended to
330 pounds.
Note: Probably no decision of War
Food administration was made with
greater reluctance, and the support
price wiU be reduced again as soon
as the hog run tapers off.
