RAISE MORE HOGS.

IAN urgent appeal to farmers
to increase the production of
hogs is being sent out by the
United States department of ag-
riculture. The appeal is being
based on patriotic grounds with
the statement that enormous
additions to the supply of meat
are needed to win the war. The
department makes the following
statements:
1.-The situation is of great i'm
portance. We must have plenty
of meat for our armies and the
armies of the allies in the field,
and sufficient meat for the civil
ian population.
Hogs can be increased quicker
than any other kind of live stock.
Therefore a larger number Of
sows must be bred NOW, than in
recent years.
I'VE now have an abundance
of feed crops corn, oats, and
barley-with which to produce
this necessary increase in the
number of hogs. The demand
for meat is certain and it will be
profitable to the farmer to market
some of this heavy grain supply
on the hoof.
Pork can be transported more
readily and economically to
troops in the field than can any
other meat. Great supplies of
bacon must go to the boys in
khaki at the front. Unless NOW
a larger number of sows are
bred, the amount of meat we
will require next year will not be
available.
1.-THE estimated number of
hogs is 1000, 900 less than it was
a year ago in this country; and
in the face of this we NEED
more hogs than ever before"

Evidently the people of Cotton
wood and vicinity are more ap-
preciative of high-class enter
tainment-such as is put on by
the Redpath Lyceum Bureau
than those in the average country
town. We notice by our ex-
changes that the receipts for
such entertainments this season
are falling away below expecta-
tions in other towns. But such
is not the case here, as full
houses have greeted all of these
entertainments here thus far.
Show people generally pronounce
Cottonwood the best show town
for its size in the entire western
country.

The farmers in this vicinity
have reason to feel thankful that
they are able to get better prices
for their eggs and butter than
are paid anywhere else. We
notice by our exchanges that the
price paid for country butter is
4Oc pound and eggs 4Oc a dozen
in nearly every town in the
Northwest. Here they are 1Oc
higher.

The federal government report
shows that Idaho's apple crop
this season is the heaviest in it's
history. Credit for this big pro-
duction is given largely to young
orchards coming into bearing
this season. Oregon, because of
its light Hood River crop, shows
a decrease of 20 per cent reduc-
ton as compared with 1916.
Washington heads the list of
states in the production of apples.

The annual report of the Com

The annual report of the Com
mission on Conservation of
Canada is remarkable for the
dispassionate manner in which it
discusses the superiority of Ger
man methods of agriculture, and
urges Canadians to profit by the
example of the enemy. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that the
potato industry has been devel-
oped until on Germany's 82,00O,-
600 acres of tillable land she is
producing nearly As times as
many bushels of potatoes as the
United States on its 478, 900, 600
and nearly 3.5 times as much as
the United States and Canada
combined. Heavy use of fertili-
ger leaves the land enriched for
the crops which follow, and the
potato industry is further devel-
oped to a high state of efficiency
by close coordination of indus
tries for the manufacture of
starch, potato flakes and chips,
potato flour and dried potatoes,
as we'll as industrial alcohol. The
Canadian record for single acre
is said to be 76O bushels of pota-
tos, but credit is freely given to
the German farmers for a higher
average than Canada can boast.

TOOCOSTLY
Many Believe This Reason
Braves Let Him Get Away.
Others Think Friction With
Stallings Caused Change.
BY JACK vEIOCK.

New York. July 27.-Johnny Chin
Chin" Evers repudiated the Boston
Braves and became a member of Pat
Moran's Phillies over night.
The announcement Of Evers's sud-
den change of pasture came as a
thought that the little Trojan would
wind up his major league career in
the Hub, and few dreamed that he
would be traded, sold or loaned to
| any other National League club.
But the deal went thru and e
season in the big show with the Phils.
the third major league club with
which he has been associated in his
long years as a star.
What brought about Evers's switch
to the Phillies?
torily answered, tho a number of prob
able reasons have been advanced. 1t
is said that friction arose between
Evers and Stallings and that Johnny
decided that he would either quit the
game or go to some other team.
Was Too Expensive?
Another reason advanced by the
dopesters is that Evers was worth
little to the Boston club because of
his inability to be in the lineup very
day, owing to illness. And it is also
said that the Boston club decided he
was far too expensive to keep on the
bench when he might be disposed of
to some club that would pay his
$40, 900 per year salary.
In face of the belief that Evers is
thru as major league player, his
switch to the PhillieS will arouse new
interest among the fans. He is ex-
pected to cover the keystone sack for
Pat Moran, and if he can get into the
game and stay there the BASEBALL pub
lie will be glad of the chance to see
ny fcnl yEzo IL. Ir,-
big league star are over.
Evers got into the Boston lineup
now and then-mostly then-and ill
ness was given as the reason Cor his
absence. But if he succeeds in tax
ing Bert Niehoffs job away from him
at Philadelphia the bugs will natur-
ally marvel at the healing effects of
Philly atmosphere on a player who
was too badly bunged up to perform
regularly for the Boston Braves.
Change May Help.
A change of clubs often works
wonders for a ball player. Surround
ings have much to do with bringing
player out of a slump or throwing
him into the midst of one, and even
tho Everss relations at Boston may
have been the best he may surprise
everyone by playing bang-up ball for
the pills.
If the little Trojan is really thru as
a player he will have nothing to re-
gret. He has been one of the bright
est stars in the big leagues for years
and has grabbed enough of this
worlds wealth to last him several life
times. He was made a free agent by
the National League before the open
ing of the 1914 season and was given
$4,000 by the Boston club to sign
contract which called for $4,000 a
year He got bonus when the club
wen the pennant and then came in for
a fat slice of the worlds series pie
With the exception of two or possibly
three years out of the total Of six
teen, Evers has earned $4,000 or better
He should worry!
