EXPERT ON SUBJECT Snj-n More Feed Should Ho linked Here Then Hog Could lk United at Greater Profit Prices Golnjr Higher If Slaughter Continues (Dy E. L. POTTEn) (Oregon Agricultural College) The hog situation In Crook county la not very difficult to describe. Tho hog mon aro just now unable to make any money shipping In grain and feeding It to hogs at current prices of grain and pork and aro thorefore, for tho most part, closing out as fast as they can and for whatever thoy can get. Tho present disparity be tween the prtco of grain and the price of pork is having a bad oITect upon the hog producers throughout tho Northwest but It Is particularly hard on tho hog raiser of tho Des chutes valley. For some tlrao past It has been tho opinion of nearly nil hog men that tho Deschutes valley farmers wore- "plunging" and wero getting too many hogs and It Is cer tainly true that tbero aro more hogs in tho valley than aro now being fed properly and that tho hog raisers wero facing quite a dlfllcult problem evcu beforo the outbreak of tho Eu ropean war and Its effect upon prices. It would seem, however. Just as proper to say that Instead of thoro being "too many hogs," there is not "enough grain". Upon looking over tho situation here we have been Im pressed, not with tho enormous num ber of hogs but with tho small amount of grain upon which to feed thorn. Three years ago the Agricul tural College sent a demonstration train through this country nnd from that train n number of things wero advocated, among them being crop rotation, moro crops, better soil man agement, better Irrigation and moro hogs. Unfortunatoly tho "more hogs" propaganda was more popular than some other phases of the cam paign and consequently the growth of tho hog Industry was not equaled by the Increase In crop production. It thus became necessary to ship In large quantities of grain and mill feed for these hogs and wo all know that there Is no profit In raising hogs on grain shipped In from tho outside. Now the production of hogs must slacken until tho production of feed ran catch up. Tho farmer must there fore go easy on tho hogs and bend every effort to increaso his produc tion of hog feeds. Tho real question beforo tho hog raiser Is not one of live stock management but of crop production. The question of the present dis parity between tho price of hogs and tho price of grain wo have left until the last because, while serious enough for the moment. It Is a tem porary problem and will soon solve Itself. In any business there comes years when a profit Is Impossible bat such years aro offset by tho years when the profit is abnormally largo. To assume that the recent market prices can prevail would be an absur dity becauso It would mean that the hog would practically disappear from the farms and pork be a rarity on tho American table. On tho contrary, anything which tends to cause breed ers to market their stock hastens the time of BhortaKO and consequent higher prices. The financial panic of 1907 caused a general clean up of breeding stock and young pigs and as a result In a few months hogs were higher than they had been for many years. The present situation can on ly mean a very serious shortage and that right away. There seems no doubt that hogs will be high very soon and that furthermore the Port land packers will have to go to the Corn Belt to get enough hogs to sup ply their demands, and all this with in the year 1916. The man who has hogs to market during that time will surely profit thereby onl not only profit by that transaction but mako enough to wlpo out bis losses of the present winter. We have already stated mat tno ucscnuies vauey mr-, mer would do well to bcud every ef fort toward Increased crop produc-, tlon and to go easy on the hogs b'lt this does not mean to abandon the hoe but on thn contrary to save a few brood sowa and be so prepared to profit by tho reaction that Is coming quickly. To bavo moro feed than wo have stock Is Just as bad as to have moro stock than feed. A general closing out of all breeding stock and young pigs on the present low mar ket must certainly be a nilstako and one that will be regretted Dy all means keop a fow sows but raise more feed at home so that It will not be necessary to ship In outside grain at such high prices. , A HIT OP ADVICE. First don't delay. Second don't experlmen.t If you suffer from back . ache; headaches or dlizy spells. If you rest poorly and aro languid In tho morning; If the kidney secretions aro Irregular and unnatural In ap pearance, do not delay. In such cases the kidneys often need help. Doan'a Kidney PIUs aro especially prepared for kidney trouble they aro recommended by thousands. Can residents desire moro convincing proof of this locality? J F. Mont gomery. West Oregon City, Oregon, says: "I was troubled by kidney and bladder complaint. I had a dull pain In my back across my kidneys. While I havo only use one box of Doan's Kidney PIUs I appreciate their worth. After I took them, the pain left mo and my kidneys and bladder wero In much better shape.

DO POCKET GOPHER DAMAGES RANGE FACTS BROUQHT OUT BY STUDY Investigation Mndo In Ochoco Nation. ill Forest Shows Tlmt Animal De stroy Grafting Value-Method of Combatting Pest Li Found. Tho district forester at Portland, Oregon, announces that n report has recently been complotod upon a study mndo last summer and fall to deter mine tho amount of damage done by rodents, notably tho pocket gopher. Tho study was mndo by tho Illolog leal survoy, and tho area chosen for tho Investigation was upon tho Ochoco National Forest In Central Oregon. Tho facts brought out by tho study aro somowhat startling. It has bcon known to the Fprest Sorvlco for somo years that cortnln areas had tho appenranco of being overgrnsed, but It was not until a more Intenslvo study of tho rnngo was mndo that suspicion turned toward tho pockot gopher so frequently soon In theso localities. As a result of tho study of tho ways of these lit Ho animals, It Is safe to say that ou many areas CO per cent of tho firm ing valuo of tho range Is destroyed by their work. This destruction Is brought about In thrco ways: First, by tho actual food which thoy consumo or storo away, which consists of tho roots of various grasses and forngo plants. In ono storeroom alono ovor 1,000 bullbs of tho mollca or bulb grass wero found. Second: tho mounds ot earth thrown out by tho gopher cover considerable forago. This may ap pear of small consoquenco, but each mound will average a squaro foot In slzo. On ono area thoro was found an averago of 8,800 mounds to tho acre. This means that one-fourth of onch aero was rendered valuoloss. Third: holr system of burrowlug countless runways fairly undermines tho ground, Incroascs tho friability of tho soil, destroys the root sys tems of the plans above, and when stock In bands passes ovor tho ground It Is as badly torn up as If It had l-con plowed. After having nacortalnd theso facts, the agent of tho Mlologlcal 8ur voy set about a method of combat ing the pests.
