CYRUS
From the Citizen


Aa epidemic of measles is going
the rounds south of the village.
Children in the Erick Flaten, Adolph
Johnson and Leo Snippen homes are
down with the disease.
A twelve pound baby girl arrived
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Hanson this morning. We have not
received our cigar yet, but expect to
have smoke on the new arrival as
soon as Walter has had time to be-
come thoroly acquainted with her.
The farmer who has a bunch of
marketable hogs to sell at this time
needs worry but little over the high
cost of living. Christ OVERLY, the
New Prairie stock buyer, who by the
way is also a farmer, recently sold
seventy-one hogs raised on his farm
that brought him, what to many men
would seem like a small fortune,
$1,8OO.OO. Can you beat it?
The long expected election for the
purpose of bonding the school dis
trict in the sum of $4,000, will be
held next Wednesday, March 14th.
Sixteen thousand dollars of this
money will be used for the erection
of an addition to the present school
building and $4,000 for equipment
There are, of course, a number of
people who do not favor the PROPOSE
ton, but the majority do, and we
hope to chronicle in our next issue
the fact that the bonds have carried

SHOULD BENTON
RAISE MORE HOGS?
Lampson Believes Food Admins
tratiOn's Promise Should In
duce Farmers to Stock up

Joseph P. Cotton, chief Of the =.
s. Food Administration meat division
today issued the following statement
relative to the prices Of hogs:
"The main purpose of the Food adj
n,inistration as to hogs are four: TO
gee 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 number
of hogs bred, to limit the profit of the
packer and the middleman and to
eliminate speculation.
Call 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.
eve shall establish rigid control of
the packer. Fair prices to the farmer
for his hogs, we believe will be
brought about by the full control
which the food administration has
over the buying for the Allies, our
army and navy, the Red Cross, the
Belgian Relief and the neutrals.
which together constitute consid-
cradle factor in the market.
"The first step is to stop the sud
den break in prices paid for hogs al
the central market. These prices must
become staple, so that the farmer
will know where he stands, and viii
feel justified in increasing hogs fol
next winter. The prices so far a!
we can affect them will not go below
a minimum of $3.50 per hundre,
for the average of the packers drove
on the Chicago market until furthe
notice.
1--WE have had, and shall have, tn
advice of board composed of practi
cal hog growers and experts. Tha
board advises that the best yard site
to measure the cost of production Q
the hog is the cost of the corn. Tha
board further advises that the rati
of corn price to hog price on the a,
erage over series of years has bee
about twelve to one (or little less
In the past when the ratio has gon
lower than twelve to one, the stoc
of hogs in the country has decrease,

KNITTING MUST NOT STOP
SAY ARMY AND NAVY HEADS
Report that Sweaters, Wristlets and
Mufflers are Nuisance is De-
Clared Malicious Lie

Shall the knitting needles stop? Is
it true that women arc wasting wool
and burdening the boys? No, say the
war and navy departments.
Stories afloat that socks and muf-
Ters, writlets and sweaters arc not
wanted by the nations sailors and SOL
diers are malicious. Rumors that the
Red Cross sells such articles turned
over to it and pockets the money or
them are plain lies, says one Of the
council of defense.

great service and is a welcome add
ton to a soldiers equipment" say

first class brood sows are in the feed
ing pens. Since these brood sows are
available at nearly pork prices, and
especially since half to two-thirds OF
this extremely high priced pork can
be produced on waste and off-grade
feed, it seems that almost every farm
er should carry at least one or two
brood sows thru the winter, even It
he considers only the financial side OF
it.
In regard to the suggestion that
people should not be asked to produce
pork unless there is q profit in it,
there is this to be said: The war is
getting closer to home and more ser
ious every week, many people are
making sacrifices that there is no
money value on. If the time should
come that we would be asked to pro-
duce pork and only break even on 1T
or even sacrifice few dollars, no one
would dare complain Of his sacrifice,
when he is asking the soldiers to sac
rifice what they are, to protect the
country in which he is living and max
ing his home and money.
After all is said, the fact remains,
that our soldiers have to have meat,
and the country is facing great
shortage next year. Benton county is
probably as far behind its quota on
pork production as any other place
Even if it were proven conclusively
that there was no money in raising
hogs, there is still no reason why Ben
ton county should not materially In
crease it's supply of pork next year
when all circumstances are considered
| The agricultural Office will make .
special effort to assist any one In get
ting brood sows or pigs, and it IS IN
position to assist them materially II
planning a feeding ration that WI
make pork production profitable.
It is sincerely hoped that each farm
er will consider the seriousness OF tn
situation and if he is contributing
nothing to this much needed pork sup
ply, he will make use OF this oppof
tunity to do so.

Charles Hebbard, federal food adj
ministrator for Washington, inaugu-
rated "porkless Saturday" in Wash
ington this week. The request to OBJ
serve one day as porkless, which
comes from Herbert Hoover, is made
necessary by the extreme shortage OF
pork products among the Allies and
in the United States. In addition to
using no pork on Saturday everyone
is asked to conserve bacon at all
times. Bacon is needed more than
any other food product No fresh OF
sailed pork, bacon, ham or lard is to
be used on Saturday.
The request to discontinue the use
of sugar bowls and bread plates II
Washington is made by the hotels and
restaurant mems committee of which
J. C. Marmaduke and B. C. Beck, Of
Seattle are chairmen. The request ha!
received the endorsement OF Mr.. Heb
bard.
Where sugar is desired the CUES
will be served with two medium sizet
Jumps. Two slices Of bread will b.
served, amounting to two ounces. w
B. Aver, federal food administrato
for Oregon, has agreed to put tn
bread and sugar regulations into ct

hogs have increasd. That board has
given It's Judgment that to bring the
stock of hogs back to normal under
present conditions the ratio should be
about thirteen. 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 hogs ready for the mar
ket, thirteen times the average cost
per bushel of the corn fed into the
hogs.
"Let there be no misunderstanding
of this statement. 1t is not guaran-
tee backed by money. It is not a pro-
mise by the packers. It is a state
ment of the intention and policy OF
the Food Administration which means
to do justice to the farmer"
The above needs no comment, but
there is comment and information
needed on pork production in Benton
county. In parts of the county there
is probably not more than five to ten
per cent of the hogs raised that were
raised three years ago, and turnout
the county the pork production is ex-
tremely low. There is no argument
about the farmers being justified IN
disseminating pork production when
they did.
Some say there is now no profit IN
raising pork and still others say thai
the producers should not be asked tt
raise pork unless there is profit in it
There are two sides to both Of these
statements. Feed is little more thar
double the average price of previou:
years, pork is about two and hal
times the price of previous years. II
other words the price Of pork is prac
tically established at little greater
proportional raise than the presen
!. price Of feed.
, If the farmer was to raise hi
: hogs entil ely on grain, there nigh
! still be a question as to whether o
) not pork production would be profit
r able, but such is not the case, for tn
. great majority of the farmers in thi
e county. In fact, 85 per cent of tn
: farmers in Benton county can feed
few hogs and make " to y of thei
