CHARLES MADER, Keuterville, Idaho RAISE MORE HOGS. “An urgent appeal to farmers to increase the production of hogs is being sent out by the United States department of ag- riculture. The appeal is being based on patriotic grounds with the statement that enormous additions to the supply of meat are needed to win the war. The department makes the following statements: “The situation is of great im- portance. We must have plenty of meat for our armies and the armies of the allies in the field, and sufficient meat for the civil- ian population. “Hogs can be increased quicker than any other kind of live stock. Therefore a larger number of sows must be bred NOW, than in recent years. “We now have an abundance of feed crops—corn, oats, and barley—with which to produce this necessary increase in the number of hogs. The demand for meat is certain and it will be profitable to the farmer to market some of this heavy grain supply on the hoof. “Pork can be transported more readily and economically to troops in the field than can any other meat. Great supplies of bacon must go to the boys in khaki at the front. Unless NOW a larger number of sows are bred, the amount of meat we will require next year will not be available. “The estimated number of hogs is 4,000,000 less than it was a year ago in this country; and in the face of this we NEED more hogs than ever before.’’ eT The federal government report shows that Idaho’s apple crop this season is the heaviest in its history. Credit for this big pro- duction is given largely to young orchards coming into bearing this season. Oregon, because of its light Hood River crop, shows a decrease of 20 per cent reduc- tion as compared with 1916. Washington heads the list of states in the production of apples. John F. Nugent in his speech Friday night told on one so-called patriot he found not a thousand miles from Moscow. He is a man of 70 years without a living near relative and worth $50,000 or $60,000. When asked to buy a Liberty Bond he insisted that he did his full share in the Civil war by paying $300 for a substitute to do his fighting for him—Mos- cow Star. The farmers in this vicinity have reason to feel thankful that they are able to get better prices for their eggs and butter than are paid anywhere else. We notice by our exchanges that the price paid for country butter is 40c a pound and eggs 40c a dozen in nearly every town in the Northwest. Here they are 10c higher. Capture of American soldiers by the Germans should spur their compatriots to support the Red Cross. The thought of the ra- tions which will be served to them in a German prison camp makes one shudder, and the Red Cross is the agency which will | | | | Ez mission tos, town. country. send them proper food.—Ore- gonian, h Has merchandise been so hard to get.
