THE WAY OF SALVATION

E OR year past the energies of considerable portion
OF the population have been spen in trying to evade
work and in spending all or more than they received
The senate has talked, probed and spent

we cannot produce more by talking speculating and

we cannot reduce the high cost of living due primarily
to shortage in supplies unless relieve the shortage and
thatcan only be done by work and thrift.
We cannot stabilize conditions until we have peace

Capital must be withdrawn from speculation and go

LIBELING AN INDUSTRY

serious injury to the and fame of the state and its
most promising industry, retard development and slow
down progress.
The freeze came at the most seasonal period of the year.
when nature had prepared for such emergencies by dv
ing the sap from the trunk and branches into the roos
and the trees were dormant heavy blanket of snow
added its protection and the thaw was gradual.
1t is the unreasonable autumn and spring cold snaps
that work havoc with the orchards The sap is then in
the tops of the trees and freeze endangers both fruit
and tree.
will be found next spring that orchards have not been
seriously damaged that while few exposed trees have
suffered production has not been seriously curtaed and
that there will be the average yield of fruit and berries
The recuperatve powers of nature are marvellous and
even those trees now supposed to be injured will not be
seriously affected

FINISHING THEIR

The extensive sale of tanknge indi-

fall and winter will be much better fin
ished than heretofore, according to the
expression Of the market information
bulletin OF the Chamber OF Commerce
farm bureau. "A local firm reports the
in this territory the bulletin says, las
much as six cars having been sold dur
ing the week. This indicates that the
hogs to be marketed during the
coming fall and winter will be much
better finished than his heretofore been
the case. The shipping Of half fat hogs
to market has been the chief weakness
in the hog raising industry of the tri.
states territory. County agents n
extension workers are overcoming this
very rapidly by teaching and demon
strating the use Of self-feeders for fin
ishing out hogs. Corn with some feed
rich In protein, probably gives better
results than any other fattening feed.
There are now thousands OF hogs on
| corn and tankage or corn n cotton
seed meal In self-feeders, in prepare
ton for fall shipments. With this fin
ishing ration combined with forage
| crops in growing hogs, cheap, and at
the same time very satisfactory mar
ket hogs can be produced. .
Even at the high price OF corn and
| of protein feeds the farmers who are
| trying 1t out are finding that 1t pays
to feed the hogs out and get them
well finished before shipping. In this
way they not only add to the weight Of
| the hogs and get them in the more
| desirable market classes, but they in
crease the value Of the original weight
Of the animals through Improving the
