Bombay, India - 1 j . 11:'.'; i : 1 -taIIE American motor car owner . who complains about city street and country highway satura tion should take a cross fcouiitry trip through India. j I have; just ended a : 1,682-mile trip, starting from Bombay, and I encountered some of the: finest roads in the world and some of the worst. A common obstacle on an Indian road is a caravan of bullocks and Bullocks travel much like a -4: carts.

Camel caravans are so or ganized that half of the camels keep to one side of the road and half to the other.' When the caravan leader finds a motor car j behind him he takes the attitude hat getting by is entirely up to th motorist. The motorist must not stampede the camels, so be has to watt for his chance sometimes for , an hour. Elephants '. know nothing about pointer- dog from on side of the road to the other. Just when you think you have an opportunity to get By, a bullock will jswiag out to one side or the other. IHand signals mean nothing to them. .You just have to trail along uptil . you find a place to pass, generally by en tirely leaving the roadi Parades on Sundays! on American highways!

In the villages one is troubled by cluldren who play a game called "jLast across." The winner Is the - child 'who is last to run in front of a moving motor car.

If we had failed to do, that our car "would have gone into thejj river. In some sections the Government exacts a road toll. In other sec tions we were asked to ilmw a pass.

TO 5 ACRES dF, GRAIN (Continued on page 9) tiined. It i"generaUy advisable that the farmers rahre their own feeder1, pigs unless it. be where grain farms and alfalfa farms are ih eloRA nroxlmitv. In which case the alfalfa farm can well raise the good pasture they should bring a feeders' and the grain farmer fat ten them. j I ': ' ; 1 It is recognized, however, that where harvest is exceptionally clean or where water is not avail able, pig raising is not advisable. III. : That pigs can be fattened on garbage and that grain is need ed only when 4here is a ahortage of garbage. Pigs so fed fatten rapidly and make porky good enough for the! top market. The garbage should be as free as pos sible from foreign material, coffee grounds, soap, dish .water, tooth picks, and broken dishes. If fresli it does not I need to be cooked. The average amount of ; garbage . per person is about one-third pound per day. Six to eleven pounds of garbage for fattening pigs will re place one pound of barley Gar bage is not recommended for sows suckling pigs or for shotes under 75 sounds unless fed in very lim ited amounts, j - ' IV. That where pigs are fed entirely on , marketable : feed and price per 200 pounds approximat ing 'the price of 616 pounds of graih. The United States Depart ment of Agriculture estimates that the normal ratio between the price of corn and pork is 616 pounds (11 bushels) of corn to 100 pounds of pork live weight,- The average ratio of grain prices to pork; prices in Oregon is less favor able than this and more commonly is five or five and a half. For this reason we do not recommend that pig Raising beattempted where the pigs, cannot be used as a means of marketing by-products such' as Skim milk, stubble, garbage, waste fruit, etc. A large increase in our supply of feed grain accompanied by a much lower price of such grains might change this condi tion. V. That pig raisers should not buy: feed . other than tankage or other supplements and that farm ers (who do not have the grain on their, own farms should not raise pigs. That if the. recommenda tions above would be literally fol lowed j Oregon would produce about 250,000 hogs annually to which could be added around 25, 000 'grown .-'largely on garbage. This would 'make 275,000 pigs which ljk somewhat more than we are now producing, and which is almost; enough to snpply local needs, i Arrests are First Under State Real gstate Statute terday Gillett was arrested, but will stand trial.

Kay, president, of the .Rotary club who told' members" of the organization about the trip to the international convention in Toronto at . the regular luncheon at the Marion hotel Wednesday noon.; Eric But ler, .secretary-,. of, the club, who was also; a delegate, will speak! about the" convention itself next week. Delegations met .the special trajn at all the principal cities and accorded the visitors a royal welcome, Mr. Kay said. Automo bile tours were features' of all day stopovers at Lake ' Louise, Banff. Winnipeg and other points. Mr. Kay expressed a pessimistic attitude toward business condi tions, declaring that the news-, papers arewsuppressing facts and that a majority of textile mills in the east are closed down or oper ating on short shifts. Business conditions' ar on a verge of a panic, be said, and the trend ia westward. The opinion was pre valent in the east that Coolidga would be fleeted and that condi tions would Improve after", the election, in the fall. , . Mr. Kay was; very much -.Ira-pressed "with the, substantial pub lic bulldlrrgsln the provinces, ai l held w that , advantages . in general were equal to if not better thaa those in th a United States. Laws are fewer and better enforced, he said, and though many of the' provinces are not "dry , though, the saloon has been abolished, he did not see a single drunken man oh the entire trip.. Many of the cities operate their own hospitals, he said,-and taxation, citing Win nipeg - as an example, is lower thaji here.- This citythas a" popu lation of around 200,000 with a tax levy of ,29 .mills, with the same in. Toronto, a city of 700, 000, while in Salem the levy la 49 mills and 2 in Portland: This in spite of the fact that Canada was at war. for four years and tho United States only r two years. Property is assessed nearly the same as that here, running be tween; 501 and 60 cents" on the dollar. Between 9,000 and 10,000 dele gates, in addition to their wives and families, were entertained by the : Toronto Rotary club at the convention-. .
