KLAMATH FALLS, Or, Feb. ID
Further details of the Spring Creek
hatchery bill, which passed the Senate,
have been received. This bill was in
troduced by Senator Merryman, ask
ing for 800 for a trout hatchery in
Klamath County, and the klamath
Senator made a strong fight for its
passage, but the Senate ways and
means committee cut the amount down
to $4,000. Word now comes from Sa-
lem that Merryman will make an at
tempt to get the amount raised in the
ways and means committee of the
House back to his original request and
get it through in that manner. The
local people, naturally, are jubilant
over the fact that there seems to be
a chance to get the bin through at all
for a hatchery in this county, and
were willing to accept the $4,000 with
open arms and hurrah for Senator
Merryman and Representative Thomp-
son, If the latter could work it through
the House, even at that figure, but they
also felt that this $4,000 would not go
very far toward building and equip
ping a hatchery

While the pigs fed ON middlingS alone
made better use of their feed at first
than the lot given corn chop and tank
age. In the latter part of the feeding
period the reverse was true. The pigs
fed mddlings were not only not so
active and healthy us the others. but
they did not eat their ratiuns with the
same relish that those did which were
fed the corn -tankage diet. Those fed
middlings made total gain IN the
feeding period of 33I.5 pounds. while
those fed tankuge and corn made n
total gain of 44S.5 pounds. The latter
