Mr. Kin singer said: "I am feeding wheat. I have noth ing else to feed. We can not get corn and there is r.o barley to had. I have sold everything but my shoats and stock hogs and want to keep them, but if the government refuses to allow wheat to be fed to hogs I will sell them and quit the hog business. We are being urged to raise more hogs and increase pork production. In this country, where we have no corn and lit tle parley, if we do not feed wheat we will have to quit raising hogs."
