HOGS SLUMP 81 IN
N TWO DAYS IN CHICAGO

!. Chicago, Oct. 22.-Shrinkage in
the value of hogs went to an extreme
degree today at the stock yards here,
notwithstanding that prices had de-
clined in some cases yesterday as
much as $1,O0 a hundredweight, the
market this morning ruled in general
rs cents to $100 still lower.
For the first time in a long while,
sales were made below S12 a humid
redweight, and numerous animals
changed ownership down as far as
$11.50.
Unusually heavy marketing of hogs
recently to avoid high cost of feed
is the chief reason assigned for the
decentralization Of values. One Of the
immediate effects Of this demoraliza-
tion was pronounced weakness today
in the prices Of grain and provisions.

Clouis Business Men
Make Trade Excursion

On last Friday morning fifteen cars
with Clovis business men and john
sons Band left for a trade trip to
different parts of Curry County to
get better acquainted with the farm
ers and visit the several communities.
The first stop was made at Texico
after several of the car drivers sue
ceeded in out-running the morning
Santa Fe passenger train along the
fine road between Clovis and the
State Line City. At Texico the band
rendered several selections and the
autos started north to Pleasant Hill.
At the Pleasant Hill school, the prin-
cipal, Cameron Bazzll, dismissed
school long enough to allow the pupils
to greet the visitors and several Sc
lections were rendered by Johnson's
band, after which the students greet
ed the Clovis crowd with some lusty
yells. This is one of the very best
rural schools in the county, in fact
one of the best in the state, and Mr..
Bazzill and his able corps of teachers
are to be congratulated on their work
The Pleasant Hill neighborhood is an
ideal community with class of citi-
zenship not to be excelled anywhere.
On every hand one sees the fruits Of
& cd farmers and progressive citl-
zens. They have raised an immense
feed crop in this neighborhood and
what Is further evidence Of the
thrift Of the good farmers in this To-
cality, the greater part of it is cut and
in the shock. Fine land, good farm
homes, good school and churches has
made the Pleasant Hill neighborhood
an ideal rural community.
From Pleasant Hill the crowd jour
neyed on to Hollene, where the band
rendered a few selections at the Hol'
lene store and the crowd was greeted
by a bunch of bright school children
Of the Hollene school.
The school children all marched
down to the store and postoffice
They were full of enthusiasm and Il
was a pleasure to meet them. Chas
Rose is principal Of the Hollen'
school, with Miss Myrtle Tuggle an'
Miss Lola Moss assistant teachers.

In the Hollene neighborhood and
from Hollene to Bellview there are
hundreds Of wheat stacks that the
thresher has never visited There is
some fine land in this section and
these good farmers have raised an
enormous wheat crop this year-a
crop so big that it has been almost
impossible to get it threshed and to
market. The wheat crop is not all
either. There are acres and acres of
fine row crops that the farmers, with
the scarcity Of labor, are fighting a
race against Jack Frost to get in the
shock. In many places the women are
assisting in the farm work in order to
get the feed crop saved and grain
crop planted. The business men of
Clovis were impressed with the signt
in a number Of places where farmers
had binders running in the field and
wheat drills putting in wheat right
in behind the binder Quite a bit OF
wheat has already been planted and
is up and growing nicely. There is
no question but right in this locality
there is some Of the very finest land
in the state of New Mexico. The
News man saw crops growing in this
neighborhood that could not be ex.
celled on the deep black land Of north
Texas that sells for from $3.50 tC
5000 per acre.
At Bellview the Clovis party hat
the pleasure of visiting the local fail
held by the boys and girls clubs un
der the direction of Mrs. c. " Steed
County Club Leader. The display
showed evidences Of much good worl
in the club line. There were on dis
play all kinds Of field crops and veg
etables too numerous to mention ant
some excellent needle work that ha,
been executed by the girls Of th'
club. The fine samples on displa!
looked like booth in a county fair O
an old agricultural community.
A short program was rendered il
the school building, Mr.. F. R. McKin
ley, principal Of the Bellview school
acting as master Of ceremonies. Som
Farm Bureau songs were well render

NO RELIEF IN SIGHT
FOR SUGAR SHORTAGE

Washington, Oct. lS.-No relief
from the present sugar situation is in
sight and the probabilities are that
conditions will become worse, the
Senate Agricultural Committee was
told today by Dr. Alfonzo Taylor of
the Departmental Agriculture.
Consumption has increased about
ls per cent as compared with last
year, DR.. Taylor said, due largely to
increased manufacture OF candy and
soft drinks to satisfy demand re-
sulting from prohibition. Other
causes given by the witness were re-
bound from wartime repression and
extravaganza due to present pros
eprity.

SOME FINE ONIONS

Some of the finest onions ever
raised in any country were those
raised by j. B. Grow of this place
this season, Mr.. Grow planted four
fifths Of an acre in Denia onions and
gathered 14,570 pounds which
brought him $5S5,00 cash, besides he
gave away quite a lot and sent some
to folks back east. We are in hopes
that oil is struck in the Valley, but in
case it should not be, onions seem to
be the next best bet.-Portales News.
