Irrigated Land Is'Splendid
for Profits in Hog Raising

Washington, March 23.-That crops
grown on irrigated land can usually
e most profitably marketed by feed
ing them to hogs is indicated by re-
cent experiments of the United States
Department Of Agriculture, the re-
suits of which are now published as
Pulletin No. 4S8. This publication,
"Experiments in the Disposal of Ir-
rigated Crops Through the Use of
Eogs," points out that most of the
irrigated projects are so far from
the large consuming centers that the
cost of transportation makes the
shipment Of hay, and grain almost
prohibitive. In proportion to the
prices that it brings, livestock is less
expensive to transport than feedstuffs.
For this reason and because of the
additional fact that manure is left
upon the farm to enrich the SOIL, the
production of livestock is most de-
sirable industry for irrigated farm
ing.
Of the various branches of this in
dustry, hog raising is in one import
ant respect the most attractive. With
a comparatively small amount of in
itial capital a farmer can get well
started in the hog business in short
time. The necessary buildings are
comparatively cheap and it takes less
feed to produce pound of pork than
any other kind of meat raised on the
farm. The irrigation farmer who has
erasped the significance of these facts
and wishes to enter the business needs
information on the value of alfalfa
as hog pasture, the value of diff
ferent kinds and quantities Of grain
Used to supplement the alfalfa, and
the practicability of hogging down
corn. 1t was primarily to obtain data
on these points that the departments
Experiments were conducted. The re-
suits are given in detail in the bulle-
tim already mentioned.
From these experiments 1T appears
that under conditions similar to those
which prevail on the North Platte ir-
rlgation project, where the work was
carried on, it is much more profit
able to let hogs pasture alfalfa than
to cut the fields and sell the hay; and
secondly, that alfalfa pasture can be
made to yield much more profitable

That Bond Petition.

/ What is this petition for that is go-
ing round and that we farmers are
asked to sign? We own our canal,
so why can we not have water enough
for our crops. Our ditch is not owned
by foreign corporation which can
dcy us up and starve US out, so why
this calling of an election?
These questions came to me some
time ago and as / am farmer, l felt
directly interested in their solution
and have been looking up the courses
and the conditions of our present sit
ustion, and find it to be approximate
ly this:
We bought ditch that was dug a
number Of years ago, and this ditch
probably answered every purpose at
that time. Where there was one TAX
ing water then there are perhaps fifty
or more now.
The question answers itself. We
have grown, but our ditch has not.
Our demands have increased, so what
is more reasonable than that we must
increase the capacity of our ditch :?
Our buying this ditch did not place
it under obligations to supply our in
creased demands, but it did obligate
us as owners to take care of our prop
CITY.
The vital point in this proposition
is that we own this ditch that is be-
ing berated and abused while there is
no fault with the ditch. 1t has simply
filled it's mission in it's restricted ca
racity and must be put up to date.
1t is simply a sensible business propo-
sition. No good business men allows
his property to drop below it's pos
sibilities and we farmers must not
lose sight Of the fact for one minute
that we own this canal and that we
as owners, unwittingly squander our
own money by being lethargic in the
matter of signing this petition.
Our engineers have proven to us
that by Strengthening, dredging, etc.
it can be made to meet every re-
: quirement, so don't let US be led 'astray
ty the idea of dropping the canal we
already own and pin our faith tc
d phantom ditch of the future which
carries with it's very inception mil
liens upon millions of money with its
years upon years in the future.
Let our children's children put twen-
ty CIR thirty million in a new ditch
Tor it may be feasible then, but fol-
: us, we want water now. We have
: neither the time nor the money which
will warrant our being exploited.
Don't wait for this petition to be
brought to your doors, farmers, bu
find the nearest one and sign it.

MISS BJURSTEDT NOT
DISGRACED BY DEFEAT
By H. c. Hamilton


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, March 24.-The defeat
of Miss Molla Bjurstedt by Mrs. May
Sutton Bundy is one thing that should
add, if anything can, to the play of
the marvellous Norwegian woman ten
MS crack. Mrs. Bundy's style Of play
has held her over every other Ameri-
can woman for some years. She has
beaten the best other countries have
produced, and she had once before
forced Miss Bjurstedt to bow to her
rrowess.
The driving, smashing style of play
that Mrs. Bundy has always combined
with an uncanny ability to hit the
wee, wee spots of the courts, made
it an uncertain match for the Norwe-
gian woman before she went west to
play the former American and Eng
lish woman champion.
Miss Bjurstedt was helpless before
the service smashes of her Pacific
Coast opponent. She drives hard her.
self, but she was unable to meet her
own style of play. The defeat should
he one thing to teach her that others
can play the driving kind of tennis
equally as we'll as she. 1t probably
will point out to her the wisdom OF
learning to combat that kind of ten
mis-.
The performances of Miss Blur
s,edt in the past have shown that she
learns quickly to meet any kind OF
tennis. Her next meeting with Mrs.
Bundy, if ever there is one, should
be productive to some great strategy

returns in pork when a 2 or 3 per
cent ration of grain is fed the hogs
as a supplement. On the North Platte
irrigation project $500 a ton for al
falfa hay in the stack is considered
good price. This figure was adopt
ed by the Investigators in their ex-
'periments, and they fixed the value
cf corn at $1.07 hundredweight and
of gains of pork at cents pound.
The labor cost of caring for the hogs
was assumed to be the same as that
OF harvesting the hay crop.
On this basis it was found that the
ret return per acre ranged from $45.OS
when the hogs had nothing but alfalfa
to $16S.6 when they were fed in ad-
dition 3 per cent ration of corn.
The rate of gain and the carrying
capacity of the pasture increased with
the quantity of grain fed. AS sup
plement, it was found that ground bar
ley was approximately as efficient,
pound for pound, as shelled corn.
By allowing the hogs to Craze the
alfalfa it was found that they re-
turned in pork an equivalent of from
$S.16 to $30.4 for each ton of hay
tnat would otherwise have been har-
vested from the alfalfa fields. The
lowest figure, $8.16, is considerably
higher than the market prices for al
falfa hay, and the highest figure,
SSO.4s, obtained when the hogs re-
ceived 3 per cent ration of corn, is
OBVIOUSLY much more than the farmer
could hope to obtain from any other
raethod of disposing of his alfalfa
crop.
The practice of hogging down corn
proved to be much more profitable
when hogs had access to alfalfa pas
ture as well. In two years expert
ments the average gain, without the
pasture, was placed at $52.OS per
acre, whereas with alfalfa pasture it
rose to $65.10. Put in another way.
1t was found that without supplement
tary feed hogs paid $1.34 per hundred
weight of corn and $1.55 when they
had alfalfa pasture as well. With
the use of either alfalfa or tankage
with corn reseults in more rapid and
cheaper gains than when the hogs are
turned into the corn and receive no
ether feed.
