BACON NOW
At HIGHEST.
Price Is 35 Cents a
Pound Sliced, in
Chicago

Chicago Oct 26.-In the face OF a
steady decline In the price OF hogs
and the corn. on which they are fed.
ChicaGoans who desired 10 eat bacon
yesterday discovered that they were
compelled TO pay the highest price
ever obtained for the salt meat In
times OF peace. 35 cents a pound, slic-
ed.
II the housewife was willing to cut
II up herself. she might have reduced
this figure TO three pounds for sl.0O.
but that was the best she could do
II was M and. TO all appearance,
would stay at this record smashing
figure for some months.
The sole reason for this situation
according to c. w. Foster, veteran pro
vision dealer. lies In the shortage Of
bacon producing hogs
No matter what the facts might
seem to indicate, said he, the difficulty
lies in the ability OF tho packers TO
buy the porkers. This situation. ne
said, would he changed in the interest
OF the public and lower prices Just
as soon as a new yield OF hogs could
be produced from the cheaper corn.

Agnes G. Laut, in a recent issue of
Golfers presented an article on "The
Price we Pay for Bad Roads,. The
article has been reprinted by the Ma
tional Grange, and sent out among
the farmers. 1t should have circula
tion numerous enough to reach every
farmer in the United States, as it is
one of the best arguments to prove
the cost of bad roads that we have
ever seen. $3.50, 900, 900. 90 year are
wasted on bad roads, adding loss on
storage and extra food, she shows
that bad roads cost the United States
one billion dollars per year, and
means tax of S12. so on every person
in the country She shows that in
four good road states, there are but
30, 600 people who cannot read or write.
While in four bad roads states, 375,
600 people can not read or write.
This proves that good or bad roads
are closely connected with good OF bad
farming. A we'll to do farming COM
munity, will not tolerate bad roads,
while a poor farming community are
so Indifferent as to allow the money
to be squandered or wasted that
should build up their highways.

The fight in Congress over the
Lafean bill is really fight between
the Eastern and Western apple growers.
The Eastern growers use a barrel al
most exclusively for packing their
apples while the Western growers use
a box. The box has proven to be the
better method and by far the better
seller, but the Eastern growers do not
desire a change and knowing we'll they
cannot compete with the Western apple
they are making all the trouble pos
sible for their Western competitors.
The action is unworthy of considera-
ton of Congress. Western apple
growers mark each box with the num-
Der of apples and the buyer can readi-
ly see what he is getting. The wonder
full success of the fruit business of
Washington and Oregon is due not
only to the fine fruit raised but to the
manner in which it is placed on the
market. The horticultural unions will
not allow bad apple to go to mark
ct or an apple with blemish The
buyer has learned what to expect
when he buys box of apples from
the Northwest. All the laws passed
by Congress can not create a market
for the Eastern grower but such a law
as the Lafean bill will cost the MOI tn
west apple grower a loss impossible to
estimate. The bill should not ecome
a law and the entire Pacific Coast
representatives in Congress should
fight it to a finish.

Governmet meat inspection has
proven to be of great value to the
people at large. During the past year,
there was inspected at the time of
slaughter, more than thirty-f1 five mil
lion animals. OF these all of about
fifteen thousand were condemned and
parts of nearly million others. In
addition to this, there was condemned
twenty five million pounds of meat.
The Bureau of Inspection cost 81, 1874,
000.0 during the year. This Inspec-
ton Bureau is entirely under control
of the Federal Government, and has
force OF twenty-five hundred people.
The showing made during the past
year is certainly one creditable TO the
government.

circulation in the rural districts is
very apt to indulge in the common
platitudes in favor of the Parcels Post.
This Is, of course, for its soothing
effect upon the rutfied interior of
the average 'countryman" If you
want Parcels Post print In black let
ters the names Of the Representatives
in Congress who vote against this
desired legislation, and it will soon
be obtained. Not one rural dweller
in a thousand has this information.
With 1t such legislation would soon
come into being.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-01-15

The Ranch is in receipt of the an
nual report of @. @. Georgeson,
special agent in charge of the Alaska
Agriculture Experiment Station. This
report contains 80 pages and many
half tone cuts, showing that the old
idea of Alaska being barren waste,
covered with snow, will have to be
abandoned. The cuts showing pota
toes, grain, berries and tree fruits
grown in different sections of Alaska
and are surprise to the people who
are unacquainted with that country.
These reports not only cover southern
Alaska, but the Copper River country,
Fairbanks, Rampant and Kodiak.
Prot. Georgeson must have capable
and Conscientious assistants at work
in that country.
