were visitors at the Wells Springs
gas well on Sunday evening and en
joyed a treat of hot coffee, served
by Mrs. Duvall. The percolator was
placed over the flame coming thru
the pipe at the top of the well, and
in just a very few minutes the cof
fee boiled and was ready to serve.
A blue-white flame, some eight in
ches high flashes up when the
match is applied, and settles down
to an even steady heat The wish
may be father of the thought, but
we cannot help being hopeful that
a great field for natural gas is about
to open up that will lead to much
prosperity for Morrow county.

STATE'S POULTRY
INDUSTRY STABLE
Greater stability in Oregon's com
mercial egg and chick hatchery bus
iness than prevails in other sections
is apparent from a report on the ag
ricultural situation just released by
the Oregon State college extension
service. The number of salable
chicks hatched by commercial
hatcheries in Oregon during Febru
ary was reported as 1 per cent more
than in 1930, while for the whole
country there was a decrease of ov
er 37 per cent
"Oregon egg producers apparent
ly intend to profit from the market
outlook information they received
earlier in the season," the college
economists say. "These reports
pointed out that the demand for
eggs Is expected to improve and

the supply to be less during the
1931-32 marketing season."
Because of the sharp cut in chick
Hatchings in California and Wash
ington, there was a decrease of al
most 40 per cent for the three Pa
cific coast states combined. Heavy
reductions in hatchery operations in
the Mountain group of states result
ed in nearly 50 per cent fewer
chicks hatched in February.
Bookings of orders for delivery of
chicks after March 1 are reported
at just about one-half of the 1930
bookings at the same time. This ap
plies to the whole country and the
Pacific coast too, but the Mountain
states show a greater cut Low egg
prices and lack of funds for buying
chicks are said to be the chief fac
tors which have caused poultrymen
to curtail.
The good reputation which has
been established for the Oregon
bred poultry has been a factor in
stabilizing the demand for chicks
from this state.
UNION PACIFIC TO
SPEND 70 MILLION
Portland, Ore., March 16. The
Union Pacific 1931 new work and
maintenance of way and equipment
budgets provide for expenditures
aggregating a total of more than
$70,000,000, an amount comparing
favorably with similar expenditures
in recent years, according to an an
nouncement today. The mainten
ance of equipment budget which
includes locomotive, freight car,
passenger car, motor car and work
equipment repairs and shop ma
chinery and tools, aggregates $33,
ports, which were about 102,000,000
pounds.
For the past five years there has
been Imported into this country ap
proximately 155,000,000 pounds of
foreign combing and clothing wool
each year, hence the 1930 total rep
resents a gratifying decrease. The
total of all foreign wools imported
Into the United States In 1930 was
162,000,000 pounds, against 1929 im
ports of 277,000,000 pounds. Imports
of carpet wools during 1930 totalled
93,000,000 pounds, compared with
175,000,000 pounds In 1929.
It is pointed out by the National
Wool Marketing corporation that
since adequate tariff has been pro
vided for American grown wool
there has been a marked tendency
on the part of mills in this country
to increase the proportion of do
mestic wools used.
During 1930 the consumption of
foreign combing and clothing wools
by mills reporting to the govern
ment was nearly 30 per cent less
than for 1929, 33 1-3 per cent less
than for 1928, and 33 1-3 per cent
less than for 1927.
The decline in foreign wool Im
ports during 1930 is due chiefly to
the marketing program of the Na
tional Wool Marketing corporation
which has given the grower the
fullest possible protection of the
tariff and has given him preference
In the domestic market
As a result of this activity of the
grower-owned marketing organiza
tion, stocks or foreign wools in this
country are less than they have
been for some time, which will
prove an Important facotr in stim
ulating improvement in the domes
tic wool situation.

The supreme and primary work
or task of the church is to make
Jesus Christ known and loved and
obeyed throughout the world.
Easter, as a day of peculiar and
particular celebration, has come
and gone; but the Christ of Easter
has not gone He Is Risen and
His claims upon everyone of us are
not to be lightly disregarded they
are claims based upon His vicar
ious atonement upon His love and
sacrifice for everyone of us upon
the wonderful provision He has
made for us thereby, not only in
this life, but in the world to come.
Let us, then, be not Insensate, but
alive to His proffered love and mer
cy; and therefore render unto Him
our due meed of praise and service.
"Come, let us reason together, salth
the Lord." Our service to Him is
one of the most reasonable things
in the world and we fall far short
of our God-given potentialities if
and when we leave Christ and
Christianity out of our lives.
Let this coming Lord's Day, then,
be the time when you will begin to
serve Him who has made all good
and worthwhile things possible for
us both here and hereafter. If you
have not a Church home, we urge
and invite you to come and worship
with us. Come into our live and
growing Bible School; then remain
for the Morning Worship. Finish
up this day by attending the Chris
tian Endeavor and the Evening
Worship. It will repay you well.
The sermon topics for the coming
Lord's Day are: Morning Worship,
"Old Paths." Evening Worship,
"Whose Mark Bear You?" "Come

saith the Lord." Isaiah 1-18.

Investigate Pig Losses;
Meetings to be Held
Dr. L. C. Henderson, federal vet
erinarian with headquarters at
Spokane was in the county last
week in company with C. W.
Smith, county agent, investigating
the causes of the large number of
losses in swine herds during the
past several months. The exact
cause for losses that have occurred
had not been determined before, al
though experts had spent consider
able time making investigations.
After talking with farmers who
have had losses in their herds, and
after examining one pig that had
died recently Dr. Henderson pro
nounced the cause of the trouble
mineral and protein deficiency in
the diet of the pigs. This trouble
is associated with internal parasites
which lower the vitality of the ani
mals and once the system is out of
condition it is not possible by feed
ing wheat alone for the pigs to re
gain their health. Dr. Henderson
pointed out that the most economi
cal gains in fattening pigs had been
made by feeding wheat when sup
plementary feeds were given. A
mixture of ground limestone, ster
ilized ground bone meal flour, and
salt was recommended and this
should be kept before the pigs at
all times. If the pig3 are receiving
a large quantity of skim milk or if

they are running in alfalfa or sweet
clover pasture the protein content
of the ration Is usually sufficient;
however, in a large number of cases
this is not a fact and a protein
supplement should be added.
Dr. Hendreson condemned the us
ing of high priced minerals which
are prepared and sold by many
firms for all ailments of swine as
they are no better than the one
which he recommends, and the sim
ple mineral mixture can be pur
chased locally at a very low cost
per pound.
A series of meetings In the coun
ty at which Dr. Henderson will
speak on swine diseases and sani
tation and in which H. A. Lindgren.
livestock extension specialist, will
discuss swine feeding and manage
ment, will be held in the county
during May. The time and place
will be announced later. Anyone
having sick, pigs should keep In
touch with the county agent since
Dr. Henderson might be available
next week to make further examin
ations to determine the cause of the
swine troubles.
