COST OF MARKETING
HOGS IN CORN BELT

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
About one-third of the total cost OF
marketing hogs by cooperative ship
ping associations consists Of terminal
charges, such as commission, yardage
and feed, the United States Depart
nent Of Agriculture has learned In u
cost of marketing study In the corn
belt. Commission comprised about 90
percent of the terminal charges, yard
age about 26 per cent and feed 25
minal costs at all markets for straight
shipments ranged from $1.50 to $2.23
per 1000 pounds, the average being
about Sl.90 per 1000 pounds. BY In
dividual associations the lowest cost
was $1.55 anil the highest cost was
$2.63.
Losses from crippling were found
to be heavier in November to March,
inclusive, than during other months of
the year. The loss on account of
killed hogs was found to be greater
In the spring months, particularly May
and June, than in other months. Both
crippled and dead hogs were more nu-
merous In mixed shipments than In
straight shipments.
A seasonal variation in shrlnkage
was also found, the highest percent
age or shrinkage occurring in August.
From July to October, inclusive,
shrinkage Is greater than from No
vember to March Although mixed
shipments showed greater shrlnkage
than straight shipments, the depart
ment points out that this may simply
indicate that the organizations ship
ping mixed cars were not as efficient
as others, or was due to the type OF
animal usually shipped in mixed cars.
The study consisted of data collect
ed from 237 live stock shipping asso-
Citations in the ten Middle Western
states, which shipped more than 6OO,.
600 hogs In 1921. The carload or
shipment was the unit used. A de-
tailed report Of the study Is contained
in a mlmeographed pamphlet, entitled

very satisfactory. The work requires
slxfllful piowmen, however, and special
types Of plows, and the soil must be

Work Must Be Thorough.
To be effective against quackgrass,
cultivation and narrowing must be
thorough, frequent and persistent.
Halfway cultivation Is worse than
none. Certain systems of cropping are
suggested In the bulletin as means
Of holding quackgrass in check on
large areas, The use Of smother crops
that make heavy, dense growth, and
kill the weeds by drowning and shad-

conditions. Miscellaneous methods of

CHAMPION HOPPE is
IMPROVING IN PLAY
Really Remarkable How He Man.
ages to Hold On to BaIk-Line
Billiard Championship.

1t Is really remarkable how that
man Hoppe manages to hang on to the
balk-line billiard championship.
He held It for years and years, and
then young Jake Schaefer, a real chip
Of the old block, took 1t from him,
only to have 1t won back again by
Hoppe the year after.
Then Schaefer challenged him some
days ago, and while at first it looked
as II he would wrest the title from
Hoppe again, he wound up $50
points behind him when the whole
thing was over.
1t was match Of three sessions
Of 300 points each, and 1t really did
look as If there was nothing to 1t but
Scbaefer during the first evening.
Hoppe played wretched game.
Seldom had he shown himself to such
disadvantage.
He was Off in his stroke, and what
is particularly strange for him, seemed
very nervous.
When the first nights play was
over, Schaefer had finished his first
block Of 500, and Hoppe only made
277, or 223 behind him.
To most billiard players that would
have been an almost unsurmountable
barrier to winning the tourney, but
not so to Hoppe.
Whatever happened to him on the
first night is hard to explain, for he
could hardly have been so sure of
himself. hardly have taken such
chances as to deliberately let his rival
get that far ahead of him.
On the second night, however, he
was entirely himself again. He kept
nursing the balls against the rail and
got 80 caroms in a field less than six
inches square.
His high run was 143.
Schaefer during this competition
only managed to secure 494 points.
and Hoppe actually got 723, thereby
filling the two blocks of 500 each, for
the first and second nights.
Then he started the third and last
night with only six ahead of Schafer,
but by wonderful manipula tlon of the
balls, and absolute sang-froid, man.
aged to run out at time when
Schaefer had only total for the
three evenings of 1871 to his credit.
Who the next challenger will be is
hard to tell, but 1t may be decided by
an elimination process.

Wally Schang Strongest
Man in Major Leagues

Who is the most powerful man in
the major leagues?
A glance at Babe Ruth Of the New
York Yankees or George Kelly Of the
Giants would make It seem the honor
belonged to them.
While Ruth and Kelly are both
giants In stature, well over six feet
and better than 200 pounds, neither
can be elassed as the most powerful
man In the majors.
Wally Schang Of the New York
Americans is regarded as the most
powerful athlete In the big show, de-
spite the fact that he doesn't look 1t In
baseball togs. Schang is the last word
In physique, beautifully muscled, the
possessor Of world of vitality.
"He doesn't know his own strength"
applies perfectly to Schang.
New York players say that In
friendly wrestling matches In the club
house he tosses Ruth around like
rubber ball.

Manager Frank Chance
Has Been Panned Before

Back In 1906 Chicago fans became
very angry when the Cubs gave raft
OF players to Brooklyn for Jimmy
Sheckard. Among the players Frank
Chance passed over to the Dodgers
were Pitcher Buttons Briggs, Outfield-
er Boots Mccarthy, Infielder Jimmy
Casey and Catcher Maloney.
Cub fans didn't mind the acquisition
of Sheckard, but they thought that
Charles Webb Murphy, the new Chi
cage owner gave too much of the
clubs strength for one man.
1t turned out that the coming Of
Sheckard proved just the thing to con-
vert the Cubs into championship
machine. He helped Chicago win pen
nants and worlds championships,
while the players Chicago sent to
Brooklyn soon drifted out Of the fast
set and the transaction that Cub pa
irons thought to be so daring turned
out to be the biggest Sucker" trade in
years.
Perhaps history will repeat itself In
this Pennock trade. Pitcher Murray,
Infelder Mcmillan and Ourfielder
Skinner have never been first-string
men, although, Of course, they may
improve, but yet 1t must stand on the
records that the Yanks gave ncne Of
their important strength, yet received
one of the best pitchers In the nation.
