THURSDAY, JANUARY Sjjjglg- MONEY SPENT AT HOME. - Most of the money advanced by the United States to the nations in Europe engaged in war with Ger many is spent in this country for the products of our farms, mines and factories, " Under the arrangement made by the secretary of the treasury and ap proved by the president, these allied governments communicate their re quirements for materials and sup plies to a United States commission through their own designated pur chasing agents in this country and the commission then renders its best efforts to obtain advantageous terms which are submitted to the purchasing agents. (By these means competitive bid ding against the other allies and against the United States is avoided and the same" terms and the same treatment our own government re ceives is accorded to our allies. It is expressly stipulated that no obligation or liability upon the United States shall be created by this arrangement. Our government is simply lending its assistance to our allies in the spending here of the money we loaned them. The protection thus granted them is de served, for they are doing the work which, if they do not do, must bo done by America at the expense of American lives and American money. Sharkskin shoes and whale steaks indicate that the vastly deep is be ing compelled to pay increased trib ute to man's war time necessities. Germany can keep its autocracy if It will build an impenetrable bar rier between itself and the rest of the world.

SWINE MEN ORGANIZE Breeders Believe That Necessity of Situation Demands Concerted Ac- " tion Europe Must Restock From United States. The afternoon session of the stockmen's convention was called to order at 1:30 o'clock by Chairman A. C. Marsters, and C. M. McAllister, field man for the Portland Union Stock' Yards, introduced. The gen tleman entered into the merits of the situation in southern Oregon, ex plaining the necessity of organiza tion in order to accomplish desired results. He told of traveling three or four days in Josephine county and seeing only one heru of Herefords. He also Btated that one reason why stockmen do not realize the impor tance of better cattle is that they do not attend the stock shows, and that lovers of good cattle are also up against the scrub sire everywhere found. He urged the gentlemen present not to let the day go by with out perfecting organization for mu tual benefit and bettering of stock in the county. The speaker averred that "if the war in Europe- continued two years longer the breeders there will be compelled to turn to the Unit ed States for their foundation herds when the conflict is over, and this fact is going to create an unparallel ed demand for pure bred cattle of all classes. Referring to present prices of $14.50 at Portland, and $15.50 at Chicago for hogs, it was alleged that in all probability the figure will yet be boosted to $20. It was impressed upon the minds of every breeder present that no matter how highly bred his stock, unless he advertised them and brought them to the at tention of buyers they cannot be sold to advantage, and through organiza tion publicity of merits of well bred hogs or cattle would be most effec tive. ' Speaking of Oregon as a corn growing state the gentleman said that at a recent show at Salem: he had seen the best twenty earsL of corn that it had ever been his pleas ure to look at, and since porn is one of the very best products for feed ing, it was worth -while to mention this fact in connection with swine raising. . ; Stockmen Organize. . At this point in the session,' B. F. Nichols suggested that the chair ap point a committee of five stockmen to formulate plans for organizing a Stockmen s Association, and the mat ter meeting with hearty approval of the convention, Messrs. Nichols, Large, Miller, Busenbark and Dixon were named and immediately " with drew" to draft resolutions. At a later hour the organization other good breed of cattle. He impressed) upon his hearers was perfected with thirty, members ! loyalty to their own county, urging as follows: J. E. Pelton, A. E. Kent, j them to think , it the best spot on J.- Jones, E. L.

E: Kent and Wm, Dixon were made directors. . ' More About Hogs. Prof. Potter's address in the aft ernoon on the swine question was listened to attentively, and he gave some insight into the constant ten dency of a rising market when he said that in 1916 more than 44,000, 000 were marketed in the : United States against something likeN36, 000,000 in ii)17. The Portland mar ket was short about 100,000.. Prof. Potted staied that the problem was up to the American producer, and in this case especially the Oregon breeder, to hold his own and pre vent further depletion of herds. -It is necessarily a war -measure, and better hogs also should be produced in order to save on feed. Discussing the feeding problem. Prof. Potter gave it as the experi ence at the O. A. C. and of Willam ette valley farmers that barley was quite satisfactory, although the present price of that commodity was lowering the profits to be realized. He advocated using available stub ble fields, waste fruits, skim milk and clover or alfalfa .pastures to bring the cost of production . of finished animals to as low a figure as pos sible. It was clearly shown that hog raising on the farms will increase the annual income.' The relative, val ues of barley, middlings, bran, oats and green feeds were considered, and it was shown that farmers cannot get best results in fattening hogs by feed ing grain only, but supplementary rations were required to produce fat in as short a time as possible. Green pasture was a great help in this work, and skim milk- and buttermilk were also highly spoken of. These combinations get required results in least possible time and therefore in crease profits. Prof. Potter told his hearers that good breeding stock can be had at a small advance in price over what hogs will bring in- the open market, and he urged breeders to get rid of scrub stock and raise, only pure bred animals., ' . . : y The question of certain brands of prepared feeds came up for discus sion, and it was stated that those proprietory feeds changed in qual ityso often that the college made no attempt to keep up with the situa tion, but none of the feeds referred to received any laudable endorsement from the O. A. C . Asked which breed' of hogs were believed to be quickest developed, Prof. Potter. said that it was gener ally concedced that Poland Chinas were quickest maturing breed of hogs. E. E. Faville, editor of the West ern Farmer, was an entertaining speaker, and kept his audience in best of spirits while stocking their minds with good hard: facts relative to the stock industry. Habit, think ing and service were things that counted. The farmer who fails to think never gets very far. So in Btudying breeding problems he urged stockmen to see that ancestry and parentage is all right and the pro geny will take care of Itself. He took a rap at profiteers in the statement that as soon as the new food regula- . tlon went into effect Friday prices on some staples jumped one third, I but the producer was not getting the ( benefit of the raise. The thing for get together, quit their quarreling and bickering and pull together for a common good. He advocated that the stockmen get something good for foundation herds, Devon cattle, for instance, and make Douglas county famous for hat breed, and ' the same condition might be obtained in regard to any classed with any other undesirables. Swine Breeders Organize. ; On motion of Win. Kletzer, of Yoncalla, a committee of five breed ers was apopinted by the chair to draft plans for "organizing a swine breeders organization.. Messrs. Klet zer, C. A. Brand, C. E. Banning, Gus Undbloom and Geo. Marsh were se lected for thework, and soon return ed with with a report that met with instant favor and was unanimously adopted. The gentlemen who signed the membership roll and paid their fee, were: . . ' J. B. Large, Wm. Kletzer, C." A. Brand, E. H. Russell, C. A. McAllis ter, Wilfred Brown, H. E. Gurney, C. E. Banning, W.
