My kidneys acted irregularly and the
kidney secretions were unnatural.

WHEAT Is FED
TO LIVESTOCK

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 21.--
Wheat is being fed to hogs and other
livestock as a substitute for corn in
many counties in northeastern Okla
homa, and. pending government ac-
ton, very little additional wheat will
be marketed from these counties at
the price fixed by the food admins
tration, according to a statement last
night by the state board Of agricul-
ture.
The action OF the farmers is due to
a number Of causes, the statement
says, chief Of which is the scarcity of
corn for feeding purposes, coupled
with the fact that the farmer feels
the government has placed. an
arbitrary price upon his product at a
time when the law of supply and de-
mand is in his favor, without, at the
same time fixing the prices of other
articles for his consumption.
With corn worth 1925 a bushel
and wheat bringing from $3.50 to
$1.95 at the elevator, the farmers are
using wheat for fattening hogs, their
relative food values being almost
identical.
