This is the highest ave rage ever made in the 18 sales which has been held by the Swine Growers in Oregon and is $73.46 above the 1953 sale average. The top individual went at $230, more than $100 higher than last year, but still under the all time individual top of $285 at the 1947 sale. It was evident from the quick opening bid of $100 on the first animal in the ring that buyers were optimistic and wen looking foi good quality breeding stock. Market hog prices, at the farm level, about one-third higher than a ylar ago and prospects for am ple feed barley from diverted wheat acreage have made the twine outlook expensive. Perhaps the sunny, warm weather had a bearing on the good feceling. Harry Hawkins of Broadmead Farms, Amity, bought the $250 top gilt, a Yorkshire consigned by John J. Schmitz of Mt. Angel.

(UP Telephoto) HOSPITALITY Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Report People of India Cordial An interesting story of observa-' tion made in India has been re ceived by the Capital Journal in a letter from Mr. and Mrs. George L. Oliver, son-in-law and daugh ter of Dr. and Mrs. M. C. Findley of Salem. Mr. Oliver is a Willamette Uni versity graduate and for many years has been a teacher in the High School at Yakima, Wash., but this year is on sabbatical leave, and he and Mrs. Oliver are travel ing around the world. He writes: We were well received by the Indian people in Bombay. Every one, trom neaim oiuciais io uie custom officials, were very Kino to us. "Bombay Is a very large city, and is really a city on an Island, like New York City. It is estimated by authorities that there are about 600,000 refugees in Bombay. The federal government and the Bom bay officials are trying to build new homes for these refugees, but there are still a great number who do not have homes as yet. "We passed by the Silent Tower, which is the place where tne peo ple of Parsee faith leave their dead to be eaten by the vultures. The Tower is located in a small parK, on a hill surrounded by a high Carey Moore, Mrs. C. B. Calkins, A. B. Anderson, Dr. R. A. Epcn etcr, and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Kephart. fence. Trees and shrubs are so dense about the park that one can not see the Tower from the road, but we saw the gate where the hodv is carried by the attendants. They carry it Io the Tower while the relatives wait at mo gate, ir Ainiii minutes the vultures can de vour an ordinary body. Their idea :iU l that the soirit is not destroyed, ; V but goes into some other person or anima'. They call this trans migration from the soul. "We flew from Bombay to Delhi, and saw some rugged country. Al so we were able to study the farm ing operations. On our trip to Delhi, which is at present Ihe scat of government for India, we met and visited with the Attorney Gen eral of India, Mr. Sctalvad. A few days later in Delhi he invited us to his home for tea, and gave us a copy of a lecture he had given i on the Indian Constitution. India! now gives equal rights to both men and women in India. They have ! also outlawed the caste system, I which has helped bring equality to Indian people. However, in some places the caste system is still observed. "The monsoon period is from June to September, and as much as 20 to 100 inches of rain falls. In spite of this seasonal rain they ! carry on much irrigation in the, dry season. Most of the water is; pumped by the oxen nr camel hooked to a pole which turns thci pump. i "We visited the Taj Mahal tomb in Agra, India, which was built in ' 1626 with marble shipped from Japan, 175 miles away. It is a beau tiful building and is surrounded by water pools and a well-kept park. "In Benares we were able to see the pilgrims bathing in the Ganges. Steps of stone and cement lead down to the river s edge where millions of people come to bathe in the sacred river. We saw much poverty here and a floating popu lation where it is estimated that 25 per cent of the people have no homes, but live in the streets. , "We feel that India is on the way Our new Dorec collection presents news in the straw family . . . diversified . . . and different.
