Instead of cutting down our wheat acreage, we can profitably market the excess in pork that will displace the thirty five million dol lars’ worth that we have been year ly importing into the Pacific North west. We have been deluded into thinking that the raismg of com was more or less necessary to the econ omical production of pork, which is not the case. Corn is not the most suitable feed for hogs, but where corn grows better than wheat or barley it is then and there the most economical feed for hogs. The cen tral or corn states are adaptable for the growing of corn; hence, great quantities of corn are there fed to hogs and we have linked corn and hogs more or less together. As a matter of experimental fact wheat fed hogs make the most rapid and the most economical gains and wheat fed pork and bacon are far superior to corn fed pork and bacon- Microscopically examined, in wheat fed pork the fat globules are smaller the product is firmer and the lean meat is better distributed throughout. AU grain feeds should be supple mented with skimmed milk, butter milk, tankage, fish meal, linseed or oil meal, clover or alfalfa or some other high protein feed.

Election of officers resulted in the elevation of A. Rose from vice-presi dent to president, the selection of George G- Updegraff as vice-presi dent and Fred Pickett as secretary. Executive members appointed by the new president were, Giles L. Frnch, Harry B. Pinkerton, D. E. Stephens, George G. Updegraff, Fred Pickett and M. E. McKee. Those who made talks at the meet ing were Fred Fortner, Harry Pink erton, A. Rose, George Updegraff, Fred Pickett, W. H. Ragsdale, Dewey Thompson and Giles French- NOTICE The. poll books are now open for voters who wish to register for the coming elections.

Now it is the railroads again that are taking the joy out of life for the farmer Last ^Saturday the old interstate rates went into effect to raise rates to the war time level. The Oregon Public Service commission is holding a hearing March 1st to get information relative to the possible changing of the interstate rate as well. W hile this within the state rate has little bearing on wheat raised it this county it does make some dif ference to those shipping wheat to millers. The government has made it possible for the railroads to bor row money to meet their obligations and to carry on whatever improvements they deem necessary. Yet they are permitted to Charge more than the traffic will bear when hauling the most im portant food product in the country. Grain growers in Wasco county have made arrangements to build a warehouse below the Celilo canal and have «procured a favorable rate from barge men on the river. This will make it possible for wheat growers in this county to haul their wheat to the head of the barge navigation and market it there at a saving of seven to nine cents per bushel It is easy to see that a fanner can make more mqney hauling his own wheat than he can raising _ it. k' ---- O---- COUNTY MANAGER? Discussion of county affairs among those who consistently take an interest in good government has created considerable sen timent for a revision of the entire general plan of county manage ment. There is a county management plan that was explained by the Condon Globe-Times during the winter, but the proposal mentioned for this county differs somewhat from that plan. . It is argued that the busy time of the different county officers varies greatly. For instance the busiest tune of the assessor is When making up the tax rolls 4 When they are turned over to the sheriff his office is rushed for a time. The clerk has recurring spells of inactivity and action If a county manager could be elected to take charge of all these activities, appoint, with the advice and consent of the county court, his own clerks and bookkeepers and other assistants, it is believed that it would result in a more economic county govem- menty with less duplication of effort. Naturally there are many phases of the plan that have never been thought about so far, but it is an indication that people are awake to the needs of bringing government up to a par with private business ineefficiency. ---- 0---- ; Representative Wright Patman stirred up a tot of resentment when he called attention to the fact that everyone waspaid by the government after the war except the ones Who took the physical risk and really did the fighting ----- 0---- _ < ’ ; Wouldn’t it be a disgrace if China with 325 millions of people should be defeated in her own front yard by Japan with only 64 millions? ——o------- What a lucky people we are.
