Can Pine Grove raise hogs? We

Scobee butchered two hogs this week,
age one year. The larger, a white
variety, weighed 400 pounds, while the
other, a black one, weighed 216 pounds.
Both animals were fed the same
amount and kind of feed. Mr. Scobee
believes the kind to raise is the white
variety. The food consumed was waste
craps from the house and three sacks
of grain. Hence the hogs are nearly
clear profit.

The wind was unkind to Professor
McCoy's house, Indeed treated It dread
fullyfully as It was not covered. How
Cause of High Cost of
Living Goes Straight
Back to Soil
By Professor CYRIL G. HOPKINS. Chief of Agronomy and Chemistry
at University of Illinois
CHE CAUSE OF THE HIGH COST OF LIVING GOES STRAIGHT
BACK TO THE SOIL. THE TARIFF IS NOT RESPONSIBLE,
NOR THE TRUSTS, NOR THE MIDDLEMAN. THESE ARE
MERE INCIDENTS. HIGH COST OF LIVING IS A POLITE
PHRASE FOR FAMINE. FAMINE SINCE THE DAYS BEFORE HIS
TORY BEGAN HAS HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE LAND.
In 1840 the United States ha J a population of seventeen million.
In 1910 it hal grown to ninety-two million. This is an increase of
more than five hundred per cent. It has come upon us in seventy-two
years, the lifetime of one man. In the last ten years the increase in
our population was twenty-one per cent.
While oar population has increased twenty-one per cent, our pro
duction of the great cereal staples has increased less than one per cent,
and a careful comparison shows the season of 1909 was slightly more
favorable for crop yields as an average than the season of 1899.
During this same ten years we had an increase in improved farm
land acreage of 15.4 per cent. Comparing this with a less than one
per cent increase in the great farm products, we find the country haa
actually been producing LESS VVM ACRE OF THE GREAT
CEREALS THAN IT PRODUCED IX THE TEX YEARS BE
FORE. The soil has been "PLAYING OUT." A soil that is totally
played out 13 a desert, and the desert is the dwelling place of eternal
FAMINE.
Of course if there had not leen something to offset this tremen
dous fallifig off in the productiveness of our soil as compared with the
increase in population the hand of famine would now actually be upon
us. As it is, we are suffering from a condition which we call "HIGH
COST OF LIVING."
