SAY HOGS MUST HAVE WHEAT
Whitman County Man Thinks lie W ill
Have to Quit Business.
Colfax, Wash. — I f the reported
edict o f the food administration that
no wheat be fed to hogs is carried out
it w ill permanently cripple the hog in
dustry o f this section, according to the
belief o f Daniel Kinsinger o f Whitman
county, who has 300 hogs on his ranch
south o f Colfax. Mr. Kinsinger is the
most extensive hog grower in this
county and has raised as many o f 1000
in a season. He sold more than $7000
worth o f fat hogs this fall and has 300
head left on his big ranch.
Mr. Kin
singer said:
i " I am feeding wheat. I have noth
ing else to feed. We can not get corn
and there is r.o barley to had. 1 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 w ill 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 com and lit
tle parley, i f we do not feed wheat we
j w ill have to quit raising hogs.”
