On the Hog
From figures recently compiled
at the Portland Union Stockyards,
it would appear that unless there is
a radical change, on the part of the
farmers, in the handling of the hog
business, in a short time Oregon
will be right back in the position
occupied a few years ago almost
no breeding stock on hand, record
breaking prices in the Portland
market on account of the inevitable
shertage of supply and another
hurry call on the Middle West for
brood sows to restock the empty
pens. And this deplorable condi
tion is being brought about by the
present abnormally high price of
wheat, and also to the fact that a
large number of hog raisers
throughout the state neglect to
grow the necessary feed on which
to finish their crop of pork and on
which the surplus stock can be
economically carried through the
winter.
During a period of seven con
secutive days, ending the past
week, 12,000 hogs were received at
the Portland yards, only a small
percentage of which were really fit
for killing, the balance apparently
having been shipped to avoid the
expense of carrying them until
spring. The certain result of these
excessive shipments will be a
ruinous falling off in values, a
wiping out of the hog surplus of
last fall. Oregon soil and climate
are suited to the production of
corn, field peas and alfalfa, all of
which are splendid hog feed, and
until the farmer plants more ex
tensively of these crops and thus
makes himself independent of out
side assistance, the hog industry
will be at the mercy of an influence
which may affect the prices of
wheat and other grains in the
Northwest.
Who is County Commissioner?
Willis W. Brown, county com
missioner or ex-commissioner, de
pending on your view of the matter,
was in Prineville Monday, Mr.
Brown protested verbally to the
court concerning the appointment
cf H. J. Overturf as commissioner,
and stated that he has not and will
not resign from that position. The
court stated that they took action
in the matter on advice from com
perent counsel and that such action
would not be reconsidered at this
time. Mr. Brown left for Trout
creek in the afternoon Monday.
Fair Board Choose President.
At a meeting of the fair board
the first of the week Henry McCall
was chosen president for the cur
rent year and the record of the
board for the past year wasjthorougly
discussed. Another meeting will be
held in a few days, at which time a
secretary will be chosen and definite
plans laid for a fair for this fall.
The Stars and
Stripes Forever
A Copenhagen war correspondent
who has been at Rotterdam since
the war commenced writes enthu
siastically about the relief work
undertaken by the people of the
United States in behalf of the
starving Belgians. He says in part:
"Within three days of the time
the committee was installed in a
bank building in Rotterdam, it had
over thirty people employed with
the foreman, Mr. Herbert Hoover,
Capt. J. F. Lueey and Millard
Shaler in charge. Their problem is
to keep alive seven and a half mil
lion Belgians, and ship after ship
flying the stars and stripes sails into
the harbors with provisions.
"The German commission at
Brussells has shown itself favorable
The provisions enter without duty
and are transported free over the
railroads.
"It is a big problem- It requires
20,000 tons a week. Every person
gets 225 grams of bread a day and
other food in proportion. In
America is lying over 100,000 tons
ready for shipment and 38 ships
are chartered and 20 are under
way. Rockefeller Foundation alone
is sending 10,000 per month,
"This great work of charity is
without its equal in history and is
probably a warning to old quarrel
ing Enrope that the old days are
gone, and it is in point, that it is in
the service of humanity the starry
banner is unfolding its strength in
the midst of the power displayed in
by Europe. These proud and free
stars and stripes on the brutalized
Continent appear hopeful for new
times and new aims. May we in
this sense be able to say, "The
Stars and Stripes forever."
