A group of Morrow county
swine producers Including Ken
neth Peck Millard Nolan, Bill
Nichols, Lyle Cox and Gene Cuts
forth attended an educational
meeting sponsored and held by
Pendleton Grain Growers Tues
day of this week. During the
day the various speakers stressed
the importance of efficient swine
production and management if
a grower is to stay In business
and compete In the generally
low prices we are now having,
It was amply pointed out by
experienced hog growers that
there is still a profit In hogs for
those who operate their enter
prise efficiently.
Ilillis Newman, a hog producer
from Fremont, Nebraska who Is
lso president of the Newway
Manufacturing Company which
manufactures a farrowing crate
invented by him, outlined his
efficient hog enterprise. Those
hearing Mr Newman agreed that
he had many of the same prob
lems that every swine producer
has In getting started in the
business. It was gratifying to
note that Mr Newman's enter
prise production figures were
comparable to those that a Mor
row county planning conference
least eight farrowings. One of
the reasons behind this is the
fact that once they are proven,
an older sow kept can be ex
pected to produce more pork
through heavier pigs at farrow
ing and heavy milk production
which makes bigger pigs at
weaning time. Mr Newman
pointed out that a little pig
weighing 3 pounds at birth will
weigh six pounds more at
weeks and 16 pounds more at
6 weeks than one weighing
pounds at birth. In his comments
on sanitation, It was Interesting
to note that baby pigs are being
used by baby food manufactur
ers to test their products, the

Vic Johnson, Umatilla county
agent, outlined progress and
plans for the Oregon swine test
ing station which Is now nearly
completed and will begin oper
atlon by November 1. It Is lo
cated at the Umatilla Branch
Experiment Station at Hermiston
and will be available to all swine
producers throughout the state
for proginy testing of swine. Ap
committee found and presented
at the conference a year and a
half ago.
While much of Mr Newman's
presentation was of well known
facts in the hog Industry, those
attending listened to these facts
coming from an experienced hog
producer. It was Interesting to
me to hear that this producer

CALF SHOT ON RANGE
To The Editor:
I didn't think it could
happen, but it did. How anyone
could mistake a big white-faced
calf for a deer is more than I
can understand.
A couple of weeks ago, my son
and I bought 50 head of 400
pound white-faced Qalves. With
In ten days, circling crows In
dlcated something In a ditch on
the range. Investigation proved
mat someone had shot a steer
calf on the edge of a ditch and
the calf had fallen into it. We
thought it had been shot with
high powered rifle and two of
fleers verified our suspicions,
It appears that some fellow
had forgotten the date of the
opening of deer season, and per
haps thought it best to do it at
night with the aid of a spotlight
That calf cost us $130.00 and If
I were In such a fix as this pred
ator, I would Just put $130.00
in a plain envelope and mail it
to the owner and not reveal my
Identity. That might appease
his conscience and the owner
even though It might not satisfy
tne orricers. That calf Is begin
ning to smell and that smell
could get a lot stronger within
the next few weeks.
If the fellow who shot that calf
doesn t do something about lt;
his conscience is going to hea
that calf bawl for a good manv
nights to come. The bullet that
killed that calf fits somebody's
rule.

gon Centennial and such sights
around Portland as the Grotto,
the new zoo, and the Pittock
mansion things I have wanted
to see for some time.
We especially enjoyed the
"Oregon Story" presented at the
centennial arena. The pageantry,
the colorful costumes, the horse
drawn carriages and covered wa
gons, the automobiles and mo
tor cycles, the scenery back
drops, and the effective lighting
all made It a spectacular pre
sentation. The 30 episodes (be
ginning with Queen Elizabeth
and Sir Frances Drake up to ouf
modern age) presented on seven
different stages, was to me a
fitting climax of all the Oregon
history I have been absorbing
this past year,

fame of Peterson's Rock Garden

Death came to Mr Peterson

Peterson's rock garden stands as
a memorial to a man who lived
