While Morrow county ranchers
keep" less than two thousand
Iioks,, it is still an important busi
ness for some, each year. 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. The date, origi
nally scheduled fur April 2, has
been changed ta April 17. This
change in date was made in order
that representatives from the
Oregon Wheat League, who are
appearing lief. ire congress on the
farm program the week of April
5, might lie returned and appear
on the program. The meeting
will be held al the Lexington
Grange hall, beginning al 8:00
p. m. '
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.
Oregon Slate College experi
ment station is looking for from
7 to80 head of steers to he used in
an irrigated pasture trail from
about mid-April to mid-July, at
which lime grain will be supple

these steers weighing from 550
pounds on up. They are also in
terested in about 25 head of good
uniform heifers, to be used as
part of a foundation breeding
herd. They would like both

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.
They'll feel they're getting a royal
welcome!

From the West's first successful oil wells
of 1879, Standard's drilling operations
have stretched all over the world even
in ocean depths 4 miles off shore to get
the oil which you and our friends in other
free nations need more and more.
Gasoline was a waste product in Standard's
first refinery of 1879, but it's king today.
We've developed fuels that made better
engines possible, used research tools like
the chassis dynamometer (below) to bring
you today's top gasolines.

Before horses gave way to horsepower,
Standard's wagons of the '80s brought
only kerosene, harness oil and axle grease
to Western farms. Now our insecticides,
weed-killers, fertilizers help increase crop
yields and add to your food supply.
