Lot I.ivermore Recalls Prediction BY
Lecturer Many Years Ago-West
End Will Become Great Farming
Region.

Lot Livermore, we'll known pioneer
Insurance man of Pendleton, in a
reminiscent mood today spoke of a
lecture made in this city a good many
Years ago by Mr.. Smythe, at that
time editor of The Irrigation Age of
Chicago. how the weather of the last
few days had reminded him OF some
of the things he heard in the lecture
and how prophecies the speaker had
made had come so true and were COM
ing more true even so long after the
,ecture was made The sunny wealth
er of the few days past have given
way TO light rain, just enough to
settle the dust that had begun max
ing its appearance here and there and
he had been asked if in his opinion
there had been enough rainfall to do
any damage. This is a country
where they do not have too much
rainfall" was his reply, and after a
few minutes in deep thought he add
a.. MIR. Smythe after beginning his
secture with the remark that this was
n country of too much rain had aft
erwards curtained his view to the ex-
preston that there was just enough
rain in this country to allure pursuit
and disappoint hope" Mr.. Livermore
gave it as his opinion that the fact
was generally recognized that Una
tilla county deserved consideration am
Syng the best wheat producing parts
eof The United States. He was of the
belief that OF late years there has
been a marked addition to the am
cunt of rainfall and agrees with the
general view taken by men who are
authority on the subject that the
large spread OF water and the huge
reservoirs Of the irrigation compan-
les in the western part of the county
has a great deal of influence toward
fo-inginS this added precipitation
This. he said. was explained TO 6
great extent by Mr.. Smythe in hi
lecture many years ago. Mr.. Liver
snore says he thinks that the western
part of the county is destined to be
come one of the most important por
Mons of eastern Oregon and that in
few years 1t will be generally recog
nized that one acre OF the irrigated
soil will go farther than three acre

No Moro Water statements.

At a meeting of the water commits
sion yesterday afternoon it was de-
cided that the practice of sending out
monthly statements to patrons would
be discontinued because of that fact
that only about one-third of the pat
rons returned the statements when
they appeared to make payment, thus
necessitating the making out of an
ether. The statements will be made
out as originally but will be held in
the office until called for by the pat
ron. This new method will save be-
tween $50 and $40 month postage,
besides considerable time and labor.

The Mule Foot Hog-The Condor
Times suggests that it would be we'll
for the hog enthusiasts of the state to
consider the breeding Of the mule foot
hog. 1t explains their origin in Am
I'erica. They were brought to sDela-
ware by the Swedes and thrived well
until the soldiers, during the reyolu-
tionary war made terrible inroads in
to them on their raids into everything
edible. a few though escaped into
the mountains and have increased
wonderfully. Eastern breeders of the
mule foot variety formed an associa-
tion several years ago to register
them so as to keep the blood pure.
The Times says: but the beauty of
these hogs lies. not in the curl of their
tai. but in the fact that the Jews can
eat their meat The Jews have never
| touched hog meat because of the BIZ
BILE command that ANY animal that
chewed not the cud, but parted the
| hoof. should be unclean unto them"
though they could eat the flesh of any
animal that chewed the cud and part
ed the hoof But here is swine that
meets the biblical requirement, and
! is therefore clean"
These hogs grow like weeds and
made the first 200 pounds in shorter
time and at less expense than any 9TH
er breed. and this fact will likely
| make 1t the coming breed for the Pa
! cific coast

Still Feeding Sheep - Though the
weather has been ideal and the new
grass is flourishing. Pedro Bros. are
still feeding their sheep and believe
it profitable to do so. According to
Manuel Pedro they have grain hay
which they secured for feeding pur-
poses and they are using it regardless
of the open weather. Keeping the
sheep on feed is better for the lamb
and also for the wool. Should the
sheep not be kept on good feed and
run down even trifle the wool sta
pie would be affected and the buyers
would lower the price accordingly
Early lambing on the Pedro ranch is
now on in full blast. One band be-
gan lambing February is. another
band February 90. and third band
is now lambing. The lambs are all
doing well.

About Hog cholera = The easter

About Hog Cholera The eastern
states are again passing through the
throes of another epidemic of hog
cholera and the hog breeders from
many states have been in session in
Chicago with the subject of the most
consistent method of fighting it. An
exchange says: 1.-The heaviest to-,
from hog cholera was in 1887 when
the death rate was 10 per thousand.
and in 1897 when the rate was 130
per thousand. The death rate in 1913
was 100 per thousand" 1t seems to
be the prevalent opinion Of the ex-
perts that the disease is on the in
crease. Effotts to eradicate the dis
ease will be inaugurated at once bu'
will necessarily require long time
To do this the hog breeder and gen.
eral farmer who raises hogs must be
educated to a great extent and re.
ceive the strong cooperation Of the
! federal and state officials. Luckily
