" 1 SEN PATTERSON Speaking before members of the Salem chamber of commerce at the close of the corn show Saturday evening, former State Senator I L. Patterson expressed the opinion that prosperity would surely fol low if the farmers gave more at tentlon to raising hogs. He said, that with a large pro duction of corn, the hog business would surely pay. This was true as there was a market, and cited the fact that the big packing In terests were shipping annually in to the northwest $5,000,000 worth of their hog products. Senator Patterson thought some thing was wrong with the hog market and prices paid by the big packers. He called attention to the price paid In Portland of 9 cents for hogs while on the same day the packers were offering 10 hi cents a pound for hogs In San Francisco. Railroad rates should also have some attention, the Senator said. He said an Ashland man had writ ten him that it cost more to ship his products from Ashland to Port land than it did to ship from San Francisco to Portland. Elmo S. White spoke in favor of closer cooperation between the city and rural districts and also the need of cooperation in market ing. BOYS OF CHORUS AND - PARENTS' WILL MEET Dr. H.
