RAISE MORE HOGS.
LBy John Ferguaon.l

kDy JOiih hCLbunuH.J
The great state Of Oklahoma Is adj
mirably equipped with all natural con.
dltions favorable to produce hogs in
sufficient numbers to supply the
home market Instead, Oklahoma i'm.
ports each year several million dol
lars worth OF ham, bacon and lard
from the north Because there is
probably no other country in the world
where hogs can be as cheaply grown
as right here j.. Oklahoma, the hog
business offers Oklahoma farmers
sure and certain revenues with every
year a fair margin 81 profit
@With the Oklahoma City stock
yards receiving but a fraction Of the
hogs needed by local packing houses
and with stock yards and packing
house capacity to handle many times
the number received last year, It
seems that the first prime object Of
the Oklahoma Swine Breeders asso-
citation should be to talk more hogs to
every farmer in the state. Prices for
live hogs at Oklahoma City stock
yards recently touched SS40 per 100
pounds, at which point no one will
doubt thai the Oklahoma farmer is
receiving a very fair margin Of profit.
The Oklahoma experiment station
has fully demonstrated The possibili-
tics Of economical pork production by
the use Of Oklahoma home grown
feeds Abundant pastures are neces-
sary for economical pork production,
Oklahoma produces oowpess, rape,
SOY beans, sorghum and peanuts in
abundance These feeds supplemented
by kafir corn and milo maize to finish
the hogs for market, will produce
pork Of prime quality as eheaply as 1t
can be grown anywhere.
There does not seem to be any sys.
tenn which could be devised whereby
Oklahoma farmers could receive a
larger proportion Of profit in the hog
business than they are now receiving,
Oklahoma markets prefer Oklahoma
home grown ham and bacon It viii
be many years before the home grown
supply win equal the demand, SO there
Is every inducement for Oklahoma
farmers to go into the hog business
Referring to eaualizing profits
whine the farmer cannot control prices
which the consumer viii pay for ham
bacon and lard, he can control the
cost Of producing pork on his farm
Bg a careful study oil results secured
at the Oklahoma experiment station
and by the most successful hog rails
ers in Oklahoma an intelligent farmei
can produce pork on Oklahoma feeds
with very satisfactory profit.
Every farmer should start in tn,
hog business which has already prov
cd So successful and profitable wher
ever tried within the state
This is the best kind of doctrine anl
no oklahoma farmer who acts on thes1
suggestions viii 50 amiss. Oklahoma
is short on hogs and the demand 70
pork product is constantly on the in
crease. It Will take two years Of live
ly breeding to get the hog stock of tn
statenp to what the demand calls foI
Raise hogs, and lots Of them

FEAR RESULT OF TRUST SUITS
Kingfisher, Ok, Business Men Wire
Protest Against Proposed Steel
Dissolution.

Guthrie, Ok.-Residents of King
fisher wired Attorney General Wick
ersham at Washington as follows:
"We understand that you contem-
plate bringing legal proceedings
against the United States Steel Cor
poration with view of dissolving the
same. Since the dissolution of the
Standard Oil company and the tobacco
trust their commodities sold to the
people have steadily advanced in
price.
IF you commence proceedings
against the United States Steel Cor
poration, it can only result, in our
opinion, in making the people pay
more for all commodities in which
steel is used. We hope you will seri-
ously consider this matter before
bringing the proposed suit"
The telegram was signed by G. w.
Smith, bank president; P. S. Nagle,
head of the Socialist party, and
others.
