PIG CLUB MEMBERS
GETTING GOOD START

The severe cold weather of early
spring has caused many of the boys
and girls in the pig-club work of the
Agricultural Extension Service of the
University CT Missouri College of Ag-
1iculture, t. become discouraged
However, in Atchison county, only
two bows Of the forty who started with
gifts in the pig Club have found it
necessary to drop out from this cause.
Early in April, twenty-three of the
thirty-eight boys and girls in the
Fairfax Pig Club reported that their
gifts had farrowed and that the av-
eragc number of pigs saved in the
twenty-three litters was fraction ov-
or six. Several of the boy had as
many as three pigs. and the largest
boys and girls had been able to save
all of the littess in spite of the cold
weather. =. ~.
The Duroc-Jersey Record Associa-
ton will offer $4,000 as premiums on
the Duroc-Jersey class at, the Fairfax
show this falk 1t is quite likely that
the Poland China Association will
make similar offer, These offers
will bring the total to $500 for the
Fairfax Pig Club show and sale to be
held September 4 to 6. This sale
promises to be the,largest pure-bred
hog sale ever held i'm Atchison county.
One of the northerncounties Of Mis-
souri, reports that the crop of early
pigs has been materially decreased on
account, OF the losses occasioned by
The, pigs coming during cold weather,
and that the pig crop will not be
more than seventy-five per cent nor
NAL. However, the increase of pure
breds will amount to one-fourth to
one-third.

LATE SPRING WEATHER
m. DECREASES THE DAT CROP

That the oat acreage has been seli-
ously diminished because of the late
spring weather is evident from reports
eaching the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture from the county
agricultural agents. The snow storm,
which came about the time half the
oats were planted, and the continuing
bad weather, cut the acreage mater.

planted to forage crops, such as soy
beans, Canadian field peas, etc, but it
is likely that THE rest will be put in
corn. The wheat condition through
out the State is reported generally

Mellon and chicken thieves.
There seems to be among mellon
and chicken thieves a general opin-
ion that to take MELONS or chickens
is not stealing but merely slipping
things. One had as well go to
another's cash draw and slip a dol
lar as to go to ones mellon patch
or chicken house and slip a dollars
worth of either. They cost money
and labor.
Last spring there came to our
chicken house and premises some
chicken thieves and stole about a
dozen Of our finest hens. This meant
about $500 loss and during this
mellon season the thieves have taken
from our mellon patch between
$500 and $4,000 worth of MELONS.
On last Saturday, the 25th of this
month three boys with two boats
were seen in the act of stealing mel
Ions on the Washburn farm along the
shores of Pine river The boys were
lot caught but their boats were
captured. These boats are now on
dry dock. These boats may be had
by the boys, if they own them, by
coming up and identifying them
selves or if they have borrowed or
rented them from other parties. the
parties from which they borrowed or
rented them must identify the boys
before they can get them.
Now this pilfering must be stopped
and there are only two resorts. First,
IL the parties are known they will be
prosecuted.

SOME SOUND SENSE

c. +. Hainline, one of the many
Jewel headed farmers of Gratiot coun-
'ty, has handed the Record an ex-
erpt from his home paper which fur
nishes some food for thought upon
the question of campaign expenses.
The article was written by Arthur
Brisbane, editor Of the Hearst pap
ers and shows an angle of the ques-
ton that will appeal to all thought
full men as it did to Mr.. Hainline.
II reads in part as follows;
Figures are interesting. When
you say fifteen million dollars rapid
" il seems lot of money, and is a
lot Of money.
Democrats say the Republicans.
wicked people, wanted TO raise a
campaign fund of fifteen millions.
Too bad, very sad.
What have Democrats in office to
say to these figures?
Fifteen million dollars would be
fifteen cents for each inhabitant of
the United States. Every time you
Democrats in office allowed the
sugar thieves 10 Sell VI
sugar for twenty-five cents, you al
bowed them to steal fifteen cents
from the public. Every time an
| American bought pound of sugar
for twenty-five cents he was robbed
of fifteen cents. Don't you think it
would pay him TO contribute fifteen
cents once to get rid of the kind of
government that allows the vilest
kind of profiteering to survive the
war, and steal fifteen cents for every
pound of sugar?
When the Democrats get through
saying what they think about Mr..
Harding's campaign fund, interest
ing imaginary thinking, perhaps they
will tell exactly why they have done
nothing about their friends, the
profiteers. that began by stealing a
thousand million dollars through the
aircraft board and have kept it up
ever since in every direction"
