HOG SURVEY,

The u. S. Food Administration is
now taking a survey of the hogs in
the state. This is done to determine
how much pork Iowa can export for
our allies and our soldiers. Last
year we exported TO them 100000
tons of food. We must send them
100000 tons this year. We have
been requested to take this hog sur
vey of Audubon county. and to have
the field work done by the teachers
and pupils. We have followed this
plan. and have already mailed to
every teacher in the county the plan
of work, material, and instructions.
There is card for each farm,
which is to be filled out. The plan
for each teacher to follow is:
Assign the pupils to the sew
eral farms.
2-Have them call on the farmers
and fill out the cards
3-Collect the cards from the pu-
pills.
4-Check them against the list of
farms in the district.
5-After all the cards are in, fill
out a blank report.
the cards to the County Food Ad-
ministrator before Oct. /, 1918.
Each owner of hogs is requested
to give to the pupils the following in
formation:
County ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Name of the owner of hogs.
II. F. ID. Address ......................-....
Number of brood sows with sucking
pigs
Number of brood ows in farrow
Other brood sows, If any....................
Number of hogs or pigs of 100 lbs.
or less, including sucking pigs.
Number of other hogs over 100 lbs.
excluding brood sows --...........--....-..
Grand total number of all hogs .......
Don't weigh the hogs; estimate
the weights.
Please be ready with this infor-
nation when the pupils call on you,
and make it as easy for them as you
can. This is war measure and all
concerned ought to be willing to CO.
operate.
This work can be done in a single
day 1t is suggested. however, that
each teacher set the time in their
own district. This is a patriotic serv-
ice and the pupils will enjoy the OPP
portunity to do their bit to help win
the war.

HELEN WALBURN DIED
IN DIES MONIES HOSPITAL

Word was received in Audubon
Monday of the death of Miss Helen
Walburn, which occurred that day
at the Methodist hospital in Des
Moines, where she has been in a
critical condition for several weeks.
Miss Walburn is the daughter of
Rev. A. A. Walburn. of Hamburg,
but formerly pastor of the Methodist
church in this city. She came here
with her parents in September. 1908.
During her residence in this city she
graduated from the Audubon High
School. Later she attended the state
university at Iowa City. After her
graduation there she taught in the
public schools OF Shenandoah and
made a splendid record until her
health began to fail. While the fam
lily lived in Audubon, Mrs. Walburn
died and was buried at Missouri Val
lety. In 1905 the father and chill
dren moved to ColfaX. where he was
pastor of the Methodist church.
The many friends of the family
will be panied to learn of her death
as she was a splendid young woman.
She was 20 years of age. Funeral
services were held at Carlisle, Ia,
Tuesday afternoon and the remains
shipped TO Missouri Valley where in
terment was made.

FEEDERS TEACHES
HOGS HOW no EAT

An automatic hog feeder of recent
invention is so arranged that after
the hog has eaten the grain con-
tanned in an individual oval metal
trough, he discovers small quantity
lodged between roofing prongs at
the upper side of the bowl. In trying
to get at this remnant of grain, he
pushes the bowl upward and oper-
ates a valve in the bottom of hop
per, which lets down another small
quantity of food. Perfect mastica-
ton is thus encouraged. the grain is
kept clean. and the hog soon learns
to feed himself small quantities at a
time, which means considerable
saving of feed.

the woman's committee. THE peti-
tion Of citizens of foreign extraction
to the President that they be allowed
on this day an opportunity of express
ing their loyalty to the United States
has undoubtedly quickened the interest
Of every one. But there is reason
that lies deeper in the hearts Of Ameri-
