It's not God's fault or the fault or the United States government If there are Idle men and hungry women nnd children In this country. The fuult lies with the uneconomic distribution o f those who work. When too muny are engaged In one occupation, too few must necessarily be employed In others. If so many are working In factories that there are not enough remaining properly to till the soli, food and clothing are natural ly made so expensive that those who live In the cities find It difficult or Im­ possible to get the real necessaries of life even though they draw big pay. O f course one must reckon with the problem o f distribution In figuring the cost o f the market basket— und there Is a dire need o f Improving the system so that the “ spread” In values from the farm to city table Is naturally re­ duced. But. when It Is considered that virtually everything we eat and wear comes from the soil, and when It Is known that little work on a small pntch o f land will provide enough of the necessary goods to maintain a family o f five. It Is foolish to argue that God and the government are to blame for many being out o f work nnd without food.

Swine raising is generally profit- able, acording to 1921 and -922 re­ ports o f the L u te d ¿ta le s depart­ ment o f agriculture, says H. A . Lindgren, Oregon Agricultural col­ lege extension specialist- These re­ ports, from the corn belt region, show that in 1922 there was an in­ crease of 27 per cent in the number o f litters o f fall pigs farrow ed in that region as com pared with a like report fo r 1921, showing an increase o f 18 per cent. The old rule still applies— that when the cost of GIG pounds o f corn is as low as the market price fo r 100 pounds o f pork, live weight, there is a tendency toward an in­ creased production o f hogs, but when the cost o f 610 pounds o f corn is more than the market price fo r 100 pounds o f pork the production de­ creases. ■ ..A * In considering the rapid grow th and wonderful progress o f the poul­ try industry o f the last twenty years, great credit is due to the com mer­ cial hatcheries, and the manner o f disposing and transporting o f the day old chick.
