COOPERATION IN HOG RAISING

Secretary Geo. A. Toolan, of San
Benito Commercial Club, has advis-
ed the Texas Industrial Congress
that a new app zach to the PROPOSE
tion OF growing hogs on the farm as
cash crop" has been made under
the leader ship OF Mr.. r. o. Barron,
progressive farmer OF San Benlto.
without waiting for the banks to
furnish the credit, Mr. Barron pur-
chased carload OF thoroughbred
Duroc Jersey sows from the Stock
yards at Fort Worth and had them
shipped to San Benito. Then he care
fully selected a number Of worthy
farmers and leased them one or more
sows each. as the circumstances ap-
peared to Justify. by the terms OF the
lease the lessee agreed to care prop
erly for the sows. which had all been
bred before shipment, and at the end
OF three months to return the sows
aud one-half OF the pigs to Mr.. Bar
ron. keeping the other half Of the
pigs for himself San Benito can
grow plentiful feed crop and has
mild winters. and Mr. Toolan states
that there are thousands Of hogs on
the San Benito tract now where
year ago there were but hundreds.
He also says that hogs can be and
have been raised there at produc-
tion cost Of ~ cents per pound.
while Mr. Barron acted upon his
own initiative, he received valuable
help from the San Benito CONNER
clal Club In carrying out his plan.
The banks Of Texas have been and
are leaders in the better farming
movement. and will no doubt render
sihsiantial aid in their cwn commu-
mites along these lines, but Mr.. Bar
ron's accomplishment shows that any
public spirited citizen can initiate
this plan II necessary.
The introduction OF hog raising on
a larger scale around San Ben!to has
not only furnished every grower with
meat, but has also provided cash
crop that war time conditions will
only render more remunerative.
Grain and sweet sorghum, cowpeas
peanuts. and other feed can be grown
cheaply in almost every section Of
the State. and a carload OF fat hogs
marketed twice a year will make a
man a better living than many farm
ers have ever made from cotton.

SAFETY AT SEA.

The Empress of Ireland served well
until she met the test, writes $50
cum" former ships officer. in The
Survey. Then she sank in fifteen
minutes. With the shore a mile away
the ship could not be beached.
Two years and a month have passed
since the Titanic sank in m;d-ocean
with the loss OF 1885 passengers. In
the first shock the American people
with one voice called for action that
would promote safety at sea: Federal
legislation was proposed, and some of
it enacted. Ocean steamship COM
panies voluntarily increased their
lifeboat capacity. The company own
ing the Titanic withdrew sister ship
from service and r. built her, to make
her safer.
But the bill, sponsored by Senator
La Toilette. which would do more to
promote safety on the water than
anything yet done. has so far failed
of passage, because of the persistent
opposition OF steamship interests. 1t
is known as the seaman's bill. 1t is
as much the passengers bill, for its
provisions aim at safety for all.
Under the impetus of the Titanic
wreck 1t passed the house of repre-
sentatives, only to be hung up in the
senate later, when the influence of the
disaster had begun to die away. 1t
was reintroduced by Senator La Fol-
lette in the present congress and this
time the senate passed it. Now 1t is
again before the house. Is it to be
hung up there till congress adjourns,
or will the wind which blew up a wisp
of fog on the st. Lawrence last week
blow good to unnamed and unnum-
bered somebodies?
Strong objection to the La Toilette
bill comes from the owners OF boats
plying on bays and inland lakes, who
declare that its safety provisions
should not be applied to ships that
do not go out VI sight Of land. On
this point the sinking of the Empress
Of Ireland on the st. Lawrence river
Is a staggering piece Of rebuttal.
