Certainly the figures bear him out. One of the pleasing features dicernible in the wheat regions is an increasing interest in feed ing grain instead of marketing it in the raw. Many wheat growers are feeding their wheat and barley to cattle and sheep, making good returns thereby -much better than if they hauled their grain to market This is narticularlv true where the haul is long and the roads not of the best. The one drawback in much of the area where grain is grown is the lack of water. Without a good supply of running water hog-raising is practically impos sible. On the other hand, sheep take very little water and can be driven to it quite a distance. Cat tle take more water, but can be driven farther. To drive hogs any distance to water is out of the question.
