1929, or loss OF more than 22 pei
cent.
These figures ought to cause every
citizen of the state great anxiety, foI
there is surely something wrong
when hog raising, one of the most
profitable the general farmer and
dalryman can annex 10 his chief in
dustries, takes such a slump as that
We must remember, too, that for the
last three or four years, or practically
ever since the new stockyards were
CONSTRUCTED at North Portland, the
proprletors OF those yards, ably Sec
onded by the railway companies and
the officials OF the Union Meat COM
pany, have been making an active
campaign toward increasing the
number Of swine on our farms and
ranches, while the officials and fac
ulty OF the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege have fully and heartily cooper
ated with every effort made by the
railways and the stockyards and
packing houses.
Meanwhile every person who has
followed the advice OF these people
by starting in the hog business or
increasing his herd, has, II he has
acted with intelligence, made money
on his nvestment-more money than
in almost any other branch of animal
industry or agriculture. There is
something wrong and the trouble
does not lie either with a slump in
the profits OF hog raising or adverse
conditions in Oregon for the pursuit
Of the industry. Large numbers of
landowners cannot, Of course, follow
the raising OF hogs with profit. To
make the industry profitable there
must be plenty Of water and plenty
Of the proper feed close at hand, and
in large areas in the state one or both
is lacking.
"On the other hand our climatic
conditions are ideal. In no section of
the country IS the risk Of the hog
raiser of losses by disease so low. In
many sections no swine disease of
any nature has ever been known,
This Is notably true of the Wallowa
and Powder Valley sections, where
many farmers are making great sue
cess in both raising and fattening
hogs for the Portland market.
Just what can be done to cause
the number of hogs to increase even
in the same ratio as our population,
the abest and wisest advisers can
not see. II any man could induce
those who are now keeping hogs to
increase their herds ten per cent, and
at the same time induce ten per cent
OF those who are now hogless to get
a brood SOW or two, he would do the
state more good than the planting of
many orchards. Perhaps that brings
us down to the meat and pith OF the
matter Too many OF our landown-
ers have sold of their hogs and put
the money into fruit trees and the
planting Of them while those who
have cleared and brought into cult-
walton more land have utilized most
Of It for orchard purposes.
We do not desire to give the app
pie or any other fruit industry
BLACK eye" as the saying goes Not
a bit OF It. We have a great fruit
country and many large fortunes and
much prosperity will come through
fruit growing But the orchardist
who forget the hog business is not
wise Whether ne has five acres or
a hundred or a thousand ne should
manage to keep a few hogs and
cows. II he gets the COWS he will
surely II he is sane, get some hogs
al least brood SOW or two
