WHY NOT MORE HOGS?
A few dava ago a caiload of hogs
arrived at Portland Union Stock Yards
bv rail from Condon, Ore. the cor.
Bigr.ois being the Gilman-French Co.,
of The Dalles, the hogs coming from
that company's Prairie ranch in
Wheeler courty, this ranch beh.g
locatqpi a few miles southeast of
Fossil.
These hoes sold for 89.10 per hun
dred pounds, aud the carload, consist
ing of 90 head, brought the shippers
$1395 95, after payment of freight and
ales expenses. The manager of thu j
Gilmau-French ranch states that t,e '
eraiu fed to these hogs to fatten them
amounted to about 725 Lushels,
which
at the market price at the time of
shipment, abcut 73 cents per bus'uel
sums up $529 25 But from this must
be suotracted the price of 350 grain
sacks at 10J cents each and hauling
t; e fjrnin to nmrket , the haul being
surely worth 15 cents a bushel for the
35-mile haul.
Deducting such items we find these
hogs were fed, in the fattening stage,
grain worth $383 75. To this, how
ever, should be added, to make the
comparison complete the cost of hanl
ing thn boss to Conrlon. The lings
aveiaged in weight atont 175 pounds
each, or 15,750 pounds. The 725
bushels of wheat ftd. thftn weighed
43,500 p.uinds, so there vra3 a saving
in hauling of practically 22,000 pounds.
As pigs ai.d shoats these hogs were
fed riiiopppd wheat, barley and corn
and ground alfalfa : perhars such fetd
woold amount to 13 per head. De
ducting this sum, $270, from the net
amount found above it will be seen
that there wan a good profit in the
grain fed. Mr. CooDer says the usual
estimate that (train fed to hogs will
fetch (1 a bushel is fur tou low.
Cerlinly the figures bear him out
One of thn pleasing features dis
cernible in the wheat regions is an
increasinu interet-t in feeding gain in
stead of markeing it in raw. Many
wheat-growers are feeding their wheat
and barlty to cattle and sheep, mak
ing good returns thereby much bet
ter than if they hauled their grain to
market This is Particularly true
where the haul is long and the reads
not of the best.
Trie one drawback in much of the
area where grain is grown is the lack
of water Without a good supply ot
running water hog raisinfe Is prac
tically impossible. On the other
hand, cheep take very little water
nd can be driven to it quite a dis
tance. Cattle take n;ore water, but
can be driven farther. To drive hogs
any distance to water is out of the
question.
Several large rauches in Sherman,
Gilliam and Morrow Counties are
equipped with well- and gasoline en
gine cumps. With a grod well and
plenty of water, the bog business
means prosperity far r.eyijrd that now
reigning in those ecctioug. Every

the community. It septus practicable
for several landowners to join to
gether and sink a co-operative well,
piping the water to a central point or
to their various farms. Even a 300
foot well, eauinped with pumniiiB
apparatus complete, costs something
lika $2500. That sum does not seem
nrohibitive where four or five farmers
can join in its ownership --Oregonian ,
July 19.
A commiittee of Kansas backers Is
formulating a plan by- -which to aid
the farmer. It is working alorg the
lines of agiicultural methods, Fuch as
providing farm exrjerts to give advice
to farmers, better methods of market
ing, seed selection, soil improvement
thrcugh ff rtilizatton. crop rotatiou
and deep plowing and development of
tiie stock farming idpa, through wliioli
the products of the farm ara used on
the farm for dairying and market
cattle, hogs and sherp.
These thirgs are all excellent, and
are in line with the efforts that have
benn made foi several years bv the
Department of Agriculture, the ex
periment stations, me agricultural i
press. nRricnuurai imriemeni miners
ard hpecial bureaus cf somefnf thi
railroads. But, it is claimed, thoy
do not reach far enough in that they
do not touch the matter of farm cred
its It is argued that what the far
mers teed is a system of loans by
wnicn tnev cn Be('ure nlnneT 10
ope their farms, and nay it hack .n a
1K term of years at a low rate of
interest, tne inteiti iinifii iu iu
installment payments. Such a sys
tem ptevmls in most European coun
tries. They are row being investi
gated by a oommitteee appointed for
that purpi-se. It is found that thn
French ard German farnrerenn borrow
money at a very low rate aud pay it
bark in installments over a long term
of years and be in no danger of losing
his farm. These long terms and low
rates are obtained through co-operative
banks or through government con
trolled ones, oreanized for that es
pecial purpose and not for commercial
use. The new system of farming now
gaining headway requires capital to
furnish the proper equipment, and
unless farmers can borrow the money
to pay these things on long time and
at low rate the great majority of
them will not be able to ptofit by the
advice of exnerts and pngsgn in mod
ern and Drofit-making stvles of farm
ing. We nfed these better methods
of farming but we can not get thm
without a system cf credits to supply
the coital. It is too much to emect
of the banks now loaning money to
farmers at a high rate and on short
time to voluntarily lower their rates
and lengthen the time, therefore a
new and special system of farm credits
must be established to meet the case,
and it it hoped that when the com
mission rnturns it will be able to oat
line each a svsem.
Tli members of (he Executive
Committee of the Farmer's Union,
who recently met in Fort Worth,
Texas, think that there is too much
effort to iucreaste production on the
farm and loo little effort to improve
methods of distribution. They passed
resolutions condemning the practice
of offering prizes for large yields of
grain. They say that this kind of
work turns the mind of the child
from practical to fancy farming and
its effect is immoral where the cost
of growing the prize crop enters into
the value of the crop itself. They
say further: "Production is not a
problem we submit to the business in
terests for solution. It is caring for
the surplus product that concern us,
and rne in which we ask the co-operation
of strorg men with wide cxoei
ience aud world-vision in business.

The impiratant assistance that buinena
