Is reflected the feellog and decision

Union, Wallowa and Baker conntleB.

that he Bhould be. But our" governor,
very much, like a school boy at play,
says: "You can't touch me for I'm
not a; candidate." He Just as well

' There are good orchard holdings In

40 bushels per acre, hence each
pig , would require about ' V acre "or
grain In addition to the 1-12 acre, of,
alfalfa and 1-12 .acre of peas, making
a total of 5-12 acre for each pig.
Since It requires 512 acre per hog and. -we
have 35 acres left for this work, -we
would be able to turn off 84 hogs.
This would necessitate the keeping of
14 brood sows. . v ' ''
.These 84 pigs when sold at '200 lb.
weight and at 7 cents per . pound
would be worth $1,176.00. The cost of
seeding; and harvesting would prob
ably not exceed $100.00; the' interest
on our land worth $125 per acre' at S
per cent would be $300'.00, leaving a
net profit of $776.00. . - ' v
Our division of the place would be:
Five acres for buildings, seven acres
In alfalfa, seven acres in field ,peas
and .21 acres In grain. "r
.. Our brood sows during the summer
would be on a two acre plot of alfalfa.
The remaining five acres would be left
for a second cutting to pay for thresh

sows In the winter. -
