Hogs and Corn
Ratio Is High
RY w. s. Reeve.


For more than so years past the
ratio between hogs and corn has
been tie price of 100 pounds OF hog
for price of IL 2-3 bushels of corn.
Mr.. Hoover says it should be l to Il,
but-for the past 6 months il mss
only averaged l to s Sd; which
must mean, lower corn-yet higher
hogs-or depleted hog supply.
The United States is now about 10
per cent below normal hog supply.
Europe demands on us about Is per
cent (basis) above normal, putting
us now 25 per cent short of the de-
creasing point and future" corn
prices don't Justify the increase
where corn makes the hog.
Date November 1.-THE largest
Duroc growers in the United States
write that they are shipping more
breeders to Florida than any other
southern state.
Progressive Farmer" says hogs
properly grown here can be finished
on $3.50 corn and sell at IL TO Is

All of which spells profit in hog

that makes no difference when the War

There we fell out for Is minutes, then
marched back. Half way back the
Colonel ordered US to halt, then we
gathered around him and he had us led
in some old time, war songs. We
sprung two new ones on him, which
struck himIin just the right place. The
Colonel sure laughed when he heard
them.

ODELL HIGH SCHOOL
(By Edna Trusty)

The tennis court is nearing compile
tion and tennis racquets are much in
evidence. Football is also prominent
among the boys.
Elmer and Lewis Eggert returned
home Saturday and started to school
the first of the week. This brings our
school attendance up to 48.
Thursday and Friday after school
hours the Girls club was seen busily
engaged in making banner to used
by the canning team at the fair.
Our high school was we'll represented
at the school fair Saturday. Our team
came in third in the canning contest.
This was doing very well for the
amount of practice they had had. Cur
tbs Gould one of our seniors, won first
prize on potatoes and Harold Hagen,
freshman, won foul tn on corn.
The chairmen of the committees of
the Girls club were called together
Tuesday for the purpose of drawing up
constitution. This is the first year
that girls club has been organized,
therefore we have some difficulties to
overcome before we make much pro-
gress.
We are glad to see fine show of
school spirit this year as every one
seems willing to do their share. Those
who work for the school today will
work for the nation tomorrow.

WaSco Rancher Gets $3.50 Fine

Jake McCown, of Wasco county, was
assessed fine of $3.50 for trespassing
on the national forest just south of
Bald Butte, according to State Forest
Supervisor Sherrard, who has been here
this week at work on his ranch in the
Neal creek district.
at was the first case of the kind we
have ever had in the administration of
local national forests" said Mr.. Sher-
rard.
The Wasco county rancher, according
to Mr.. Sherrard, was pasturing 100
head of cattle on the national range.
A permanent injunction, restraining
him from using the national forests,
was issued by the court against Mr..
McCown.
''If Mr.. McCown had paid the regu-
lar range fees for his pasturage," said
Mr.. Sherrard. ''his total costs for the
summer would only have been about
$780,"

Locks Women Interested

2 The women of Cascade Locks are
joining hands with Hoover on the food
conservation problem. Last Tuesday
afternoon an energetic group of women
met and under the direction of Martha
H. Bechen, the home demonstration
agent for Hood River county, organ
lied themselves into Home Econom-
les club with Mrs. Ross Jenkins as
president.
The purpose of this organization is to
discuss home problems vital to this
community and to assist in carrying
out the Hoover plans.
Much interest was taken in home
drier that Miss Bechen showed to the
women. Bulletins were distributed
that gave the directions for making
the drier and many of the women ex-
pressed their intention of either max
ing one themselves or having one
made.
Other topics discussed were canning
and war breads.
