Market Toppers
It is the aim of every live-stock
farmer to have the buyer say to
them, "The top o' the market to
you. " Experienced feeders
achieve it, but rarely beginners.
Pig-club members have topped
the market on the first hogs they j
have raised. These members
followed the instructions given
them by the pig-club agent 6ta-;
tioned in their State. They fed
balanced rations, kept the hogs
free from lice and worms, and
made their hog feeding a busi-!
ness enterprise, and not a ven-'
ture. i
In Oklahoma 23 boys and 1
girl sold their pigs to the two1
Oklahoma City packing houses
at top prices, going 35 cents
above the top of the market for '
the day. These hogs averaged;
10 months of age and 344 pounds!
in weight Eleven of them were j
judged as perfect market type
by the buyers, and only one!
scored below 90. The average j
dress out was 84 per cent un-:
chilled. j
The champion hog from King-
fisher County weighed 440 pounds
on the hoof and dressed out 87 j
per cent unchilled. This 11- j
months-old barrow was on alfalfa
pasture the first four months of j
his life, and then was fed tank
age, corn, kitchen wastes, shorts, j
and alfalfa the next seven!
months. He cost 6 cents per
pound to produce, including pur-
chase price, feed, and labor, and .
gave the boy a profit of $8.90 in !
addition to the prizes won. I
In Kentucky 15 pig-club boys, j
with hogs averaging a little over !
200 pounds, topped the Louis-j
ville market for the day by 25
cents a hundredweight

John M. Scott, General Passen
ger Agent of S. P. Company,
Visited Dallas
John M. Scott, General Passen
ger Agent of the Southern Pacific
Company, in a conversation with
a representative of the Dallas
Observer Wednesday of last
week, gave out the following
statement in regard to the im
proving business conditions:
"On the present trip in the
Willamette valley I find a very
encouraging tone. The valley's
largest business, that of the lum
ber industry, is so nearly back to
its normal position that dealers
and manufacturers are enthusi
astic. Commercial lines of all
kinds are on the up-grade toward
prosperity, and the outlook for
the coming months is indeed
bright. I am, of course, most
directly concerned with the rail
road business, but the railroads
merely reflect the trend of busi
ness and industry in general, and
in the outlook in this line I can
see no cause for complaint. All
over the lines of the Southern
Pacific company a demand for
cars presages big things for the
immediate future, and bv the
immediate future we may judge
for a much greater time, for
when prosperity does return it is
to remain with us. Our business
is showing a daily gain that en
courages enthusiasm, and with
that the railroads are more than
apt to do their share toward
bringing and maintaining the
prosperity that all are so anxious
to enjoy. .
"The'increase of business and
industrial activities in all lines
seems to be one that not so much
depends upon foreign markets as !
upon a healthy and normal return
of prosperity, bringing normal
conditions that will be maintained
by home consumption. The war
of course is a great influence
toward increasing business in the
eastern states. War orders are
a huge item in the scheme of ex
istence for eastern communities,
but their direct effect upon the
Pacific coast and especially the
northwest is almost a negligible
quantity. When business re
turns to the normal here it will
not be because of the war, but
because of local improvements.
Prosperity facts present them
selves, why not accept them at
face value?"
