Princess Rox- There is a serious shortage of ana 313733, her dam, has two hogs in Oregon as well as other States of the Pacific Northwest. We have been aware of the (act that large shipments of live hogs have been brought into Oregon market centers from as far East as the Da kotas and Kansas. It has been ap parent for some time, especially since the price of wheat has come down that the farmers of Oregon can profitably go into the raislrffe of hogs for market, t may be inter esting to review at this time what has been accomplished in the way of increasing hog production in Ore gon In the past two or three months. Around the first of the year it was comparatively easy to assemble a carload of breeding sows for sale; in fact several such sales were held, and wherever good bzreeding sows t were offered in a sale, they brought prices satisfactory to the seller as well as the buyer. It is apparent now that brood sows have been scattering out over the farms of Oregon, not only through carload sales but in sales of one, two or ' three head, with the result that at Fords Are Better) This Year Ford cars are better than ever this year. Upholstering In the Sedans and Coupes is 100 per cent better than last year. Prices are lower. These are the prices you pay, delivered in Beaverton: Touring Cars $."7.09 Roadster olfl.8!)

BeTWtoo HilHlK.ro Forest Grove the present time It seems next thing to impossible to find a brood tow Is tor sale. Apparently to far M the Bupply of brood sows In Oregon is concerned, they are all being put to maximum use. In the past two or three months quite a large num ber of good quality brood sows have gone through the Portland Union Livestock market to the killers. Steps have been taken now by the Livestock Exchange and the .Port land Union Stock Yards Company' whereby no good piggie brood sows are allowed to be killed, but when ever offered tbey are picked up and , put in a BPecial division in the Stock Yards- where they are immunized and held for sale to the farmers of the Poclnc Northwest at practically pork prices. Quite a business is being done In these brood sows at the Stock Yards at the present time. On account of so many hogs arriv ing at the market, it will be prob- nbly possible to assemble as many aB a carload of these brood sows on fairly short notice. ThlB indicates that every effort is being made to conserve the bog breeding stock of Oregon at this time. It Is possible that the point may be reached where it will be necessary to bring in brpnd sows from outside points because the demand is so strong. Here is an opportunity for farmers living within a radius of fifty miles o of the Stock Yards at North , Portland, and who want one or two piirgie sows, to get what they want at reasonable price.
