MoDIFlEs ATTITUDE,

The necessity for the raising of hogs
has caused Administrator Bicknell 20
modify in q way his attitude towards
the feeding of wheat to the porkers
He said Saturday night: my inves-
tisatton has shown that in most in
stances where Idaho farmers have
been feeding wheat to hogs 1t has been
chat wheat not good enough for mill
Ing purposes and of course with the
great need for the raising of hogs no
criticism can attach to such action.
-Then. in some instances, have
found the farmer who feeds hogs his
wheat had no other food for them and
in such an extremity he had moth
ing else to do under the circumstance
but where 1t is possible to obtain other
feed and conserve the wheat, every
farmer with a true American heart will
not feed It, In this connection l am
able to state definitely that stock feed
may be obtained now at Salt Lake de-
lsvered to all o. S. L. points at SAP per
ton and barley may be obtained deliv-
cred at all o. 8. l.. points at $54 per
ton"

Germany's diplomacy. If the brain

Americans dragging feet listless-
