THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-Thc Press,
Pulpit and School a Trinity Of
influence That Must Be
Utilized In Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
A broad campaign OF publicity on
the subject OF rural life is needed in
OF the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed In the country press.
but the troubles OF the farmers are
seldom told. except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
y~estigation into the needs OF the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un-
derstood and illuminated by the pow
er OF the press.
The rural press. the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in
iuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work Is to build
and their object Is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer In this state should
subscribe for the local paper. as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper. and no home
should be without it. The local paper
is part of the community life and the
understands the farmers prob
lens. 1t is the local press that Will
study the local problems and through
It's columns deal with subjects of most

civilization at their fountain head. Its
mission is to direct growth, teach eff
fciency and mold the intellectual life
Of the country, placing before the pub
lie the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg

social needs Of the agricultural classes
within Its respective community.

HOG SHIP MENTS
High Price of Grain Is Causing
Record Shipments of Hogs

In the last seven days more thar
1900 hogs have been received a
the Portland Union Stockyards
For the corresponding PERIOD (
year ago the number received wa,
a little more than 5000 and two
years ago for the third week il
January the number was a triflt
ever than 1000.
Most of us remember that seven
ears ago hogs were selling at 1C
1ents a pound, live weight. II
will also be remembered that dur
ng the following year several buy
erS were sent to the Middle West
n search of brood sows. The
trouble was that the hog market
was SO much higher than ever be-
fore that almost everything that
looked like a hog was sent to the
shambles. Hence, the high prices
instead of benefiting us as a whole
were a detriment, setting the hog
growers back two or three years.
Now the large shipments come
from another cause.-the high
price of wheat, for most of the hog
growers depend upon wheat to fin
ish their hogs for market. This
could be done at a fair profit with
wheat at a normal price; when it
scared up to the $3.50 mark, it
meant a loss to feed it to hogs that
we're worth something like 7 cents
a pound.
So again Oregon is being clean
ed out of hogs OF those reaching
market, and we understand the
same al be said of Seattle, Taco
ma and Spokane, only a proper
tomato few are actually fit for
The rest are shipped
0y the farmers and other growers
to save w~intering them.
And the price is falling day by day.
The farmers, especially the small
arrner. should raise, as tar as pos
iible, their own hog feed-alfalfa,
:orn, peas-anything for finishing.
They should not depend upon the
vheatgrowers. They should so
onduct the business as to buy
wheat when the market justifies.
ut to depend almost solely upon
is sheer folly.
1t looks now as if next year we
,ould be sending East for brood
ows again. Surely if the present
nipments continue for another
lonth or two we must. Then we !
nall be back right where we were
