The Members of the Executive
Committee of the Farmers Union,
who recently met in Fort Worth
Texas, think that there is too much
effort to iucreaste production on the
farm and too little effort to improve
methods of distribution. They passed
resolutions condemning The practice
of offering prizes for large yields of
grain. They say that this kind of
work turns the mind of the child
from practical to fancy farming and
its effect is imnoral where the cost
of growing the prize crop enters into
the value of the crop itself. They
say further: "Production is not a
problem we submit to the business in
terests for solution. 1t is caring for
the surplus product that concern US -,
and one in which we ask the co-opera-
tion of strong men with wide exDei-
ience and world-vision in business.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1913-07-31

A committee of Kansas Bankers is
formulating a plan by which to aid
the farmer. 1t is working along the
lines of agricultural methods, such as
providing farm experts to give advice
| to farmers, better methods of market
ing seed selection, soil improvement
through fertilization. crop rotation
and deep plowing and development of
the stock farming idea. through which
the products of the farm are used on
the farm for dairying and market
cattle. hogs and sheep.
These thirgs are all excellent, and
are in line with the efforts that have
been made fol several years by the
Department of Agriculture, the ex-
pertinent stations, the agricultural
press. agricultural implement makers
ard special bureaus OF somet pt the
railroads But, it is claimed, they
do not reach far enough in that they
do not touch the matter of farm cred
its 1t is argued that what the far
mers need is a system of loans by
which thev can secure money TO devel-
ope their farms, and ray it hack in a
long term of wears at a low rate of
interest, the interest fgured in the
installment payments. Such sys-
tenn plevaIls in most European coun
tries. They are row being invesii-
gated hy oommitteee appointed for
that purpose. 1t is found that the
French ard German farm er can borrow
money at very low rate and pay it
back in instaIlments over a long term
of years and be in no danger of losing
his farm. These long terms and low
ra tes are obtained through co opera
tive banks or through government con-
trolled ones, organized for that es
pecial purpose and not for commercial
use. The new system of farming now
gaining Roadway requires capital to
furnish the proper equipment, and
unless farmers can borrow the money
to paw these things on long time and
at low rate the great majority of
them will not be able to profit by the
advice of experts and engage in mod
ern and profit making STYLES of farm
ing. We need these better methods
of farming but we can not get them
without a system CT credits to supply
the cpital. 1t is too much to expect
of the banks now loaning money to
farmers at high rate and on short
time to voluntarily lower their rates
and lengthen the time. therefore
new and special system Of farm credits
must be established to meet the case,
and it is hoped that when the COM
mission rsturns it will be able to out
line such a svsem.

WHY NOT MORE HOGS?

A few days ago a carload of hogs
arrived at Portland Union Stock Yards
by rail from Condor, Ore. the coz
signors being the Gilman French Co.
of The Dalles, the hogs coming from
that company's Prairie ranch in
Wheeler county. this ranch being
locat9g a few miles southeast OF
Fossil.
These hogs sold for So 10 per hun
dred pounds, and the carload, consist
ing of go head, brought the shippers
1896 95, after payment of freight ard
sales expenses. The manager of the
Gilman French ranch states that the
grain fed TO these hogs to fatten them
amounted to about 725 bushels, Which
at the market price at the time Of
shipment about 70 cents per bushel
sums up s529 25 But from this must
be subtrscted the price of $50 grain
sacks at l01 cents each and hauling
tie grain to market the haul being
surely worth 10 cents bushel for the
35-mile haul
Deducting such items we find these
hogs were fed, in the fattening stage,
grain worth 1888 10. To this, how
ever, should be added. to make the
comparison complete the cost of haul
ing the hogs to Condon. The hogs
averaged in weight about It's pounds
each, or 1880 pounds. The 725
bushels of wheat fed them weighed
AZ, 500 pounds, so there was a saving
in hauling of practically % 900 pounds.
As pigs and shoats these hogs were
fed cnopped wheat. barley and corn
and ground alfalfa; perhaus such fet d
would amount TO 50 per head. De-
duetiDg this sum, $270, from the net
amount found above it will be seen
that there was a good profit in the
grain fed. Mr.. Cooper says the usual
estimate that grain fed to hogs will
fetch 81 a bushel is far toU low.
Certinly the figures bear him ont
One of the pleasing features dis
cernible in the wheat regions is an
increasing interest in feeding gain in
stead of marketing it in raw. Many
wheat-growers are feeding their wheat
and barley to cattle and sheep, max
ing good returns thereby-much bet
ter than if they hauled their grain to
market This is particularly true
where the haul is long and the roads
not of the best.
The one drawback in much of the
area where grain is grown is the lack
of water Without a good supply of
running water hog raisinfg is prac-
tically impossible. On the other
hand, sheep take very little water
and can be driven to it quite a dis
tance. Cattle take more water, but
can be driven farther. To drive hogs
any distance to water is out of the
question.
Several large ranches in Sherman,
Gillian and Morrow Counties are
equipped with wells aud gasoline en-
gine pumps. With good we'll and
plenty Of water, the hog business
means PROSPERITY far beyond that now
reigning in those sections. Every

crossing the Santa Fe coast lines ut
a point about seventy five or one
hundred miles east OF La Junta, and
thence through the dry farming sec
tion of southeastern Colorado and on
into Denver
II this route is followed up, the
road will be pursuing the most log
ical and feasible line open to new
railroad proposition. BY taking this
course the line will traverse from
the time it leaves Ardmore, a strictly
virgin territory so far as the presence
of other railroads are concerned. This
will give a short haul, making a
saving of hundreds of miles from the
west to the city of Birmingham and
to the deep water port at New Or

"Declares His Candidacy"

Frank Robson, the popular young
manager of the Robson opera house
and one of the best known young
men OF the city, stated to an Ard
moreite reporter yesterday afternoon
that he positively would not become
candidate for mayor of the city
of Ardmore. However, Mr.. Robson
said that he was an avowed candi-
didate for the good will and patron
age of all lovers of the drama in
Ardmore and the surrounding citie2.
Louis Mann will be here next
Thursday in 'Elevating a Husband. -
Mr.. Robson said. 81 am a candi-
date to break all records of advance
sales which have been made at the
opera house during this season. The

candidate state that they will see 10
it that he wins the race.

be destined to let New Mexico re-

section in person, but it has been
vel! authenticated that the engineer.

there is to be no let up on the work
small though it may be-that is
being done by the graders now. 1t
has been given out from a strictly
reliable source that Mr.. Ringing S
personal check has been received for
an amount near quarter OF one
hunlred thousand dollars, which sum
it is said will be used in the de-
fragment of the expenses of the en-
gineering corps and of the small bit
of work which has already been con-
tracted within the corporate limits
of Ardnore This check, it has been
learned, was received yesterday by
one very close to Mr.. Ringing and
who, it is said has full authority to
act for him
BY careful survey of the situa-
tion as it stands at present, taken
n connection with the course the
surveyors are now taking, the trend
of the railroad will be such that
Denver sees the logical western ter
minus.
Mr. Hamon has stated, so we are
informed, that the. surveying party
has already passed Waurika and are
at work in the field about Chatta-
nooga and Snyder Indications say
that from Ardmore the road will &C
