Jaekers when they can purchase

ents a pound and sell their pro.
hucts at from fifteen to twenty
tents. There is money in hogs
Tor the man who can buy them
1t the present low prices and con-
vert them into bacon at from
Eighteen to twenty-five cents a
bound. There is also money in
hogs for the farmer if he is agile
Enough to be in the market when
hogs are scarce and out of the
market when hogs are plentiful.
But he has to be some guesser to
know just when to get in and
when to get out.
There has been good money in
hogs for the farmers of Camas
prairie during recent years, when
the prices ranged from 6ac to 1Oc
a pound, but for the past two
years, with hog prices between 5
and 6 cents and grain prices
rather high, it has been a ques-
tion if the hog was worthy of his
old title of mortgage litter" OF
not. With hogs at 81 and z cents
pound and wheat and barley
around the 65 and 80 cent mark
the hog is perhaps the best pay
ing asset on the farm but with
grain and hog prices as they have
been for the past two years it is
not surprising that many farmers
are getting out of the hog game
entirely.
Just what is responsible for the
low price of hogs is perhaps hard
to determine. The farmers lay
it onto the packers and declare
there is an understanding be-
tween coast buyers to pay as lit
tie for hogs as possible. The
packers lay the blame elsewhere
and say their plants are full of
pork products which they cannot |
sell owing to war conditions, and |
that there is an over production
of pork for ordinary home con-
sumption.
Regardless of what the causes
may be for the present market
conditions, the result will be that
pork production in the northwest
IS undergoing blight at present
that it will not recover from for
several years. Only a few years
back the packers were strongly
ayltating the growing of pork
and claimed that almost million
mead of hogs were shipped an
nlally from the middle western
stltes to the Pacific coast to make
up the local shortage. At pres
ent the western states are about
meeting their own demand but
unless the packers can offer bet
ter prices and enable the grow
ers to remain in the business
without losing money the old con-
dition will soon stare them in the
face again and the packers will
be begging for hogs at nine and
ten cents pound and have to go
east to get them.
Fortunately it is easier to get
started in hog raising than in
cattle and within two or three
years the annual production of
hogs in the coast states can be
doubled or trebled, but it will be
advisable for the farmers to keep
a few of their best brood sows at
all times and thereby be in posi-
ton to get back into the hog
game just as soon as market con-
ditions will justify.
Yes, there will be money in
hogs for the man who has them
when the market gets RIGHT
again. Ii

The Slip-On Topcoat is just as

you have one hanging on your
hook you are ready TO face all

nine months out of each and every
