Proper Housing Means Mors Profits in Hog Raising The hog needs protection more' than most domestic animals, ' baus3 it lacks natural protection, and is very susceptible to the in fluences of cold, heat and drafts.

MiMB Problems Discussed, Plans Engineer Potter, representing the state water board, from the state engineer's office, Salem, Oregon, is conducting a series of hearings of water right claims, from The Dalles to Bend, cover ing the whole Deschutes river water shed. The Maupin meet ing was held Wednesday from 9 until 4 in, the Maupin State Bank The several water users w hose rights are obtained directly by appropriation from the state were obliged to get questional and file the same later, These main water users are Woodcock Bros., East Maupin water users, City of Maupin, A. H Staats, Wapinitia Irrigation Co., Jake Davidson and others. All the Wapinitia plains farm ers whose rights were obtainid from Wapinitia Irrigation Co. are protected by the company's own claim and need not file or be represented individually. The meeting Saturday at the Kelly church building was fairly well attended, about one half of the water users being present. The new board elected for the new irrigation year' is: R W. McCorkle, 0. L- Paquet, T. B. Slusher, F. E. Batty and Otis Chastain. The retiring members are John Powell and Dee Tal- Clitt. After much deliberation and many spitited debates it was de cided that the word "coopera tion" spelled the only spelled the only success for the farmers of the Wapinitia Irrigation Co. as a two-fold working force in the irrigation field.

The company was to be asked o allow credit on accounts for this labor which said credit has been 0. K. by N. G. Hedin for the company upon the request being made, N. G. Hedin to cause the canal low places to be surveyed and stakes set arid gen eral supervision be made cover ing the whole construction field. This too has been agreed io by all 'The matter of water measure ment and regulation for 1924 ftook up considerable time and thought. Some favored petition ing the state engineer's office to take over the difficult job, others favored a united effort to get all farmers to pay the maintenance fee in advance so that the com pany could provide four ditch walkers for the flat, one for the mountains, and then hold every one to the flow. This latter rule proved the one most favorable NEWS ITEMS OF Promise of commencement of operations on the Maupin section of the state highway in about two weeks seems to be assured.
