LIVESTOCK
We shipped another car of fine
livestock Wednesday, for which
we paid top prices. We are in
hopes we can get another carload
together for shipment in two
weeks.
There has never been a time
in the history of the livestock
business when there has been an
outlook such as at present and
we believe no farmer will make
a mistake in Riving his time and
attention to the hog industry for
the balance of the year.
Information we gather from
the Portland Union Stock Yards
is that the outlook for hogs in the
Pacific Northwest is al>out 50 %
of last years supply. And with
the enormous demand both at
home and abroad, it means meat
will be a luxury in the average
home.
We think it is an opportune
time and a patriotic duty for all
farmers to aid in this line of pro­
duction to help reduce the high
cost of living.
We were sorry not to be able
to secure more young brood sows
for local distribuion Monday.
All were fine thorobred Duroc-
Jerseys and were sold at cheap
prices. We know of no other
thorobred stock available now,
but in the course of our travels a-
bout the country we occasionally
find some good grade sows.
If you want a good brood sow,
advise us and we will be glad to
assist without added cost to you.
W'e want to see the hog indus.
try grow.
FACTS ABOUT THE POTATO
MARKET
For the past week we have
been paying $4. cwt. for White,
No. 1 Potatoes, and cant say how
high the market may go.
But new patatoes are coming
on the Portland market now and
are selling for about the same
price we are paying for old ones.
There may be a sudden advance
or decline. We desire to present
the exact situation to those still
holding old stock. We will con­
tinue to pay top prices till the
end of the season.
SOME DONTS
DONT predict the failure of
the Cheese Factory, give it a
trial and a boost.
DONT curse the weather, it
will do you no good.
DONT blame the poor feed-
store man for the high prices of
feed, he is too small to even ef­
fect the market.
DONT blame the groceryman
for the rapid advance in prices,
just lay in a supply and be pre­
pared.
DONT complain of the high
cost of living when the backyard
garden spot is growing up to
weeds.
DONT condemn the other fel­
low for trying to make a living,
just because you want to live
without trying.
DONT criticise our President,
its unpatriotic.
DONT sell off all your poultry
and young stock and this fall
curse the fate that compels you
to pay double prices.
DONT gossip,----------------- !
