 A committee from the Grand Jury visited the County Farm, and their report is hereto attached and marked exhibit A"
 In the matter of the violations of the laws relating to the sale, etc, of cigarettes, and Sabbath violations, we beg to report that violations have been going on for long time, until such violations have become a custom. That being the case, we are of the opinion that it would be unWise for this Grand Jury to return wholesale indictments for these violations. But we want to go on record as recom- mending that full notice be given by County Officers, that if these viola tions of law are not stopped at once, that all violations will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law
 We find that all Justices of the Peace have filed their reports as the law requires.

The final row IN the table presents
the averages. The average for Mayis
seen to BE 2.28 inches; for June $40
inches and for July, 2.30 and the av-
erage for the three months together,
1893 inches and for the entire year
for the past e. years, 1884 inches. The
~ year period may be divided up m
to, three parts Of nine years each and
these three periods examined, to see
if the nine-year periods reveal, any
thing Of interest. The average an
nual rainfall for the first nine-year
period was 1886 inches, for the Sec
ond nine-year period, 1920 inches and
for the most recent nine year period
14.21 inches. The same general ten
dency is shown if the total for these
three crop years is examined by nine
year periods. The total rainfall for
there three months averaged for the
first period under consideration, 6.82;
1869 for the second and6.4 for the
third. The last nine years have there
for been below what one might con-
slider as the average when taking a
long period Of years into account, and
in this fact there might lie hope that
in order to maintain her averages,
Nature would be obliged to increase
before long the rainfall. Some geo
grapher may know if that can be ex-
pected.

THE SHAME OF HOG PRICES

The sudden jump in hog prices after the re-
strictions supposed to keep hog prices up were
removed, again brings forcibly to mind some
thing we don like to think about. We don't like
to think about it as Americans it makes up feel
ashamed for ourselves and our country. Does it
not show conclusively that our food admins
tration and our department of agriculture are
dominated bly, the big packing interests? If that
doesn't make a citizen ashamed he is beyond
hope
The hog price situation is a long story Of
promises to get the farmers to produce at maxi
mum quantity and broken pledges. First the
food administration, promised that it would use
it's power to keep the price of hogs at IL times
the price of corn. When it came time to fulfill
this, the packers objected and the administers
ton resorted to the bubble Of changing from
the Chicago price to the farm price. The hog
price at Chicago was to be 10 times the price Of
corn, not where the hogs were sold, as was
promised, but at indefinite places in the West,
or in other words, whatever the packers wanted
to make it.
Then a hog production committee, with not
a hog producer on it, was formed to engineer a
new deal. Our weekly papers were flooded with
literature as to what this new committee would
do. The most important announcement of good
intentions was signed by a prominent official of
the packing trust. Their campaign tended to
prove to the farmers that too many hogs had
been produced, that the farmers were lucky to
get as much as they were getting and that
prices would probably be lower.
The result Of this was, of course what the
plotters intended. Farmers rushed in their hogs
and. the packers filled up their cold storage
houses with pork at low prices. Now, when$the
farmers are about cleaned out, the restrictions
are removed and up goes the price of hogs. And
let us add, the prices Of hog products will be
based on the new hog prices and not what the
packers paid for their stock: -.
Defenders of the government may hole, that
the packers were too strong to, be opposed, but
if that be the case, the officials knew it before
they made their promises, and i in no way less
ems our sense of shame. :, y 5x5 s5f1 ~ 49,, 80 :
