With price of hogs up considertbly, it is more important than ever that more pigs per litter be saved. Orian Wright and Sons, on Itliea Creek, are doing a good job in saving big litters for bigger pro fits. A recent visit to the ranch, visiting with the Wright boys, found 7o pigs weaned from eight sows. This is just a fraction un der nine pigs per sow, which is a good average for any hog raiser. Bob Wright gives the credit to heal lamps, which were used dining farrowing time. They are very inexpensive and many limes are all thai is needed to take the chill off the new born pigs and gel them started in life. The Wright's are planning to use some of the surplus barley, this summer, to fatten out their pigs for market.

THIRTY YEARS AGO Meeting Tuesday evening, the executive committee of the Mor row County Wheat growers Lea gue made plans for their annual spring meeting.

' Scheduled for the meeting, in addition lo the reports of each of the five standing committees, will be the introduction of the Oregon A recent weekly grain market review shows that wheat farmers throughout the nation intend to shift about 14 million acres to other uses than wheat. The aver age for Oregon,, in reduction of wheat acreage, is about 28 com pared to last year. This will be reflected in barley, with Oregon's acreage to increase about 70";, over a year ago. Nationally, the growers intend a 47 increase for barley. Commodity Credit, this week, announced the barley loan for Morrow county which amounts to $1.27 per bushel, a few cents under the earlier anticipated loan rate.

"Gravy Train" Was reading the other day about a .Maharaja in India who has a miniature electric train all made of silver. Now, maybe that's not unusual for a prince, hut this fellow had it running around on an enormous dining table in the royal palace. The twelve cars on the train are loaded with different kinds of fruits, nuts, and beverages. And the train stops automati cally in front of each plate so the person sitting there can choose what he wants. From where I sit, the Maha raja is really going to extremes to impress his guests. Around this part of the world, hospitality certainly doesn't need all those fancy trimmings. You don't have to spend a lot of money or go to a lot of work when folks drop in. Just offer them whdt you have coffee, tea, a temperate glass of beer and let them make their own choice.
