Salmon Day The coming celebration of National Salmon Day, on March 13, while it will br rrarkt'U on a large scale through out the entire country, will be of par ticular significance on the Pacific Coast. There is scarcely a communtiy. large or small, on the seaboard of Washington, Oregon, California and Alaska which does not receive some Krt ion of the 140,000.000 which Ilia salmon canning imljstty Fper.il annu ally for IhIoi anil materials On the Pacific Cuast the activities in honor of the King of fuod fish, will take the form of public gatherings and banquets at Scuttlo, Portland. S.in Francisco, Los Angeles mid other roast centers. Fisheries, uptrator. scien tists and public officials will be in at tendance and events are expected to at tract wide attention. In the Eastern states prepartaiuns arc also being made for comincmora tion on mi extensive scale.. Canned salmon will be serve I in every railway dining car, and it is expected that 500,- 000 ptopla will be reached in this way alone. Leading hotels and restaurant wiU feature Canned Salmon, and liter ature and recipes will be widely distri buted. The salmon canning industry is also relebcrating its fiftieth anniversary this yenr, and fur that reason particu lar Interest attaches t ) the event. U had its origin in 18tl, when threo pioneers from Maine who had been en gaged in lot.ster canning, established themselves on Hie Sacramento river in California. The m lujtry aonii apreuJ from the Sacramon:o la tha Columbia river and thence to Piu'it Sound and Alaska., where it is now the stcond in dustry in importance . Heginnirg with a small puck vhIjihI at a few thousand dollars, the business has developed to an extent never dte imed by i s founder. It reachi d its high wat r mark in 1913 with a park of over 8, "00. 0,10 cases, or mi re than 400.0011,000 rans valued .it 10,. 000,000. On this Coa I over 35,00l people are directly cmplored in the almon canning c.p-rstioi.s and thous ands of o'hers are engaged inilirertly . in Ilia preparation of supply, transpor tation and distribution of the pack, j Though the indust.'v hit its scat on this Coast, it lin.lj its p. incipal mark- j is in the F.uslcrn ai.d Southern states; . i ii .t'mmmmmm . 1 - : -4-- -vi.-- and abroad. As a result, the huge for tune which it spends each year in outfitting and operating is taken not from the towns and citiej from which it is carried on, but cones from the East and foreign countries as so much new money added titne wealth of the Coast. Because of the enormous scale on which it is operated and the rapidity with which it has devel.ipid, n any people are under the im; region that the industry, is short live I. Asa matter of fact, the business though half a century old. is firmly intrenched on a self sustaining supply of raw ma terial and is still growing.. The fact should r.ot be overlooked that as a result nf special taxs levied on the salmon industry and thespeciallicer.se fees which it pays, the national and state governments are able to engage in propagating salmon to take the place of those caught each year. The salmon is a wonde fully prolific fish, but under natural conditions much of the spawn is destroyed and many of the fish never attain maturity because of their natural enemies. On account of the high efficiency of the hatcher ies which dot the streams, the fish are spawned and reared under ideal conditions and as a result the per centage of fish brought to maturity is much higher - than under nature. It may therefore be said that the salmon industry is self sustaining and consti tutes, with proper care, a self sustain ing and perpetual natural resource of immeasurable value to the stst.s of the Pacific.

"In selecting farm swine for breeding, it is usual to give market qualities the first considera tion," said G. R. Sampson, instructor in Animal Husbandry at the Oregon Agricultural CoMege. "If thn butch er's requirements are nut met and sat isfied, the other improvements are like ly to net but little profit. But there aie other points that are of vital im parlance to the farmer, which do not affect the market unfavorably, and they should be observed in all efforts to de velop a herd of improved breed. "Chief among the factors that influ ence the profits of the swine inudstry is tha birth cost. This is determined partly by the fecundity of the sow and partly by the cost of her maintenance. Hence both of these factors should be considered in selelcting the brood sow. "Since it costs but little more to maintain the sow to farrowing time when she brings a large litter than when she brings a small one, strains of high productivity should be selected. It is also true that deterioration due to breeding, about a cent a pound at the age of seven months, is as great in the mother of a small litter as in that of a large litter. But the cost of main tenance differs greatly in different ani mals, and those with inefficient diges tive systems should not be selected for breeding purposes. This can be partly determined before farrowing by the condition of the animal, and more largely afterward by the condition of her pigs. "A good constitution is required in breeding swine. It is indicated by depth of chest and width of the cheat floor back of the elbows, and by width of muzzle, snout and poll. Together, these points give a fairly good idea of the vitality and piobablle longevity of the animal. "It is highly Important that brood sows have good dispositions. Thry must be gentle, intelligent, and not averes to handling, as well as motherly to their young. A tendency to be eith er frightened or angry with tha atten dant at farrowing time results in Wramnlinc that Irtlla n, pinnla aimjft of the pigs. Good pig sense is nec essary part of the makeup of a good brood sow. "Which of these qualities should be given preference in selecting the brood ing stock will depend upon circumstan ces. But generally it may be said that brood sows with poor keeping and poor milking qrslilties are fatal to profits, and though Lhey have high fetrility and motherly instincts, had best be made into pork " Unclaimed Letter Letters unclaimed at the St. Helens, Oregon post office for the week ending Februsry 28. 1914.
