cradle factor in the market.
THE first step is to stop the sud-
den break in prices paid for hogs at
the central markets. These prices
must become stable so that the farm
er knows where he stands, and will
feel justified in increasing hogs for
next winter. The prices so far as
we can affect them will not go be-
low minimum of about $3.50 per
hundred weight for the average of
the packers drOves on the Chicago
market until further notice.
10 TO 1 RATIO FAVORED
eve have had, and shall have,
the advice of a board composed of
practical hog growers and experts.
That board advices that the best
yardstick to measure the cost of pro-
ductiOn of the hog is the cost of corn.
That board further advises that the
ratio of corn price to hog price on
the average over series of years has
been about IL to 1 Cor a little less. }
In the past, when the ratio has gone
in the country has decreased. When
it was higher than IL, the hogs
have increased. That board has Civ
en- its judgment that to bring the
stock of hogs back to normal under
present conditions the ratio should
be about 10. Therefore, AS to the
hogs narrowed next spring, we will
try to stabilize the price so that the
farmer can count on getting for each
100 pounds of hog ready for mar
ket, Is times the average cost per
bushel of the corn fed into the hogs.
LET there be no misunderstood
ing of this stateemnt. It is not a
guarantee backed by money. 1t is
not a promise by the packers. 1t is
statement of the intention and
policy of the food administration
which means to do justice to the
farmer"

Next Saturday evening both girls

in the Herman opera house. The
Alberta teams have had no practice,
because they had no place to prac-

up to their part of west Minnesota's
schedule. They will play their best
and have a good time besides. The
players this year are Adrian Devere-
aux, Glenn Prickett, William Ernst,
William Bredy, Odin Norby, Elmer
Siebrecht. The girl players are:
Irene Hamilton, Irene Eystad, Hazel
Eystad, Helen Gausman, Alice Keep

ing extremely moderate. The wealth
err has been unreasonable and buy
ers were few and far between. The
northwest has lost some degree of
prestige owing to the large amount
of chilled goods offered at all large

are full and local buyers cannot use
stock at any price. The car situa-
ton is a shade better, not so much
owing to their plentifulness as to
the fact that fewer buyers are call

ply, who lives near Coils, hauled
into town this week a crop which
we believe is novel to this section.
1t was the seed from five acres of
sweet clover, which he recently
threshed, amounting to 1850 lbs.
which he sold here to a representa-
tive of the Dickerson Seed Co., of
Minneapolis, for $12.75 per 100 or
$592.87 for the load: A yield of over
$119 per acre looks pretty good and
it would appear that this is crop
which will bear consideration.

by the food administration and a
ratio of 10 to 1 established.
Fair prices to the producer, to en-
courage the raising of more hogs, a
limit on profits allowed the packer
and middleman and elimination of
speculation in pork are the chief pur-
poses of the federal food administra-
tons plans for control of the pork
industry, as explained in state
ment by Joseph P. Cotton, chief Of
the meat division of the administra-
ton, received from Chicago by the
state food administration.
Stabilizing of prices is one of the
ends sought. Hog prices, the state
ments says, will not go below min
imum of $3.50 per 100 pounds, so
far as the administration can affect
them. Hogs sold in Chicago Tuesday
at from SIT to Sits per 100
pounds, and in South st. Paul for
SIT to $17.1O, so the minimum great
est reduction possible under the ad
ministration's plans will not take the
return to the farmer much below
present prices. At the same time
more rigid control Of profits may
make pork considerably cheaper to
the consumer.
PRODUCTION TO BE ENCOUR-
AGED
"The main purpose of the food ad-
ministration as to hogs" says the
statement, are four: To see that
the producer at all times can count
on fair price for his hogs so that
it will be profitable to him, to see
that the farmer increases the num-
Der Of hogs bred, to limit the profit
of the packer and the middleman and
to eliminate speculation.
"All these purposes are necessary
because we must have more hogs, SO
that the ultimate consumer shall at
all times get an adequate supply of
hogs at the lowest feasible price.
1--WE shall establish rigid control
of the packer. Fair prices to the
farmer for his hogs, we believe, will
be brought about by the full con-
troll, which the food administration
has over the buying of the Allies, oul
army and navy, the Red Cross, the
Belgian relief and the neutrals
which together constitute consid

zone for all. all for one" rule-was more
greatly needed.
Labor in Great Britain has been through
straits such as we here have hardly
dreamed of yet. Labor there was, and un-
auestionably is, against war-but not
against this particular war thrust upon
humanity by Germany's might and greed.
Therefore, labor in that country, having
gone on record in support of the govern
ment. backed UP its declaration with deeds.
II declared an industrial truce, entering
into an arrangement by which the govern
ment became practically party in inter-
est with employers and employees. Employ
ers' profits were limited, standards of
wages and safety and health protection
were guaranteed. Non-union and union
men worked side by side for themselves
end their country under what amounted
to high-class union conditions.
Workers here need feel no apprehen-
sion in trusting their complaints to adj
iustment or arbitration in which repre-
sentatives of the government have voice
CT interest. Reason for apprehension
would exist if they followed any other
course In the past labor has had many
Just grievances. Living costs now are
tremendous, imposing hardships on every
wage Garner and salaried man, because
even raised wages have not gone up ac-
cording to the shrinking purchasing power
of the dollar. Nevertheless, the resort to
force when the country is at war would
be utterly unjuStifabe, as the workers OF
Great Britain periodically determined.
The policy President Wilson has laid down
IS the surest and safest guarantee of
square deal labor could have. 1t is en-
couraging that the workers show they
realize this.
