LETTER FROM ALICE HAMILTON
TO MRS. JOSEPH GRAVES
HAMILTON ~

DEAR MOTHER:
Although know you intended tt
be kind think you should have told
me of Leslie's accident the momen,
it occurred. AS it was you let me GO
on for long time feeling quite hurt
because she had not written me. Now
l am filled with remorse that could
have thought for moment that my
darling sister would have neglected
me when l was so far away. D.
However, I think had l received ia
cablegram, / should have taken the
next boat home 1t sickens me ev-
cry time think of the good times
/ have been having while all the time
she has been so ill.
/ want you to tell Leslie that
knew nothing about her accident and
that if she wants me or if she thinks
that can do her the least bit Of
good l will come home Immediately.
Poor girl! believe l would die
had been expecting such a wonder
full event in my life as baby and
then had to bear the disappointment
of losing it before it had ever been
laid in my arms.
Karl was awfully sweet in telling
me all about it. We are still talking
about you all. He said that you let
him 60 in and look at Leslie for
moment while she was asleep, so
that he could even tell me just how
she looked. He told me she was
Gust like Madonna who had been
deprived of her only child by Death"
He told me that Jack was thinking
of adopting a child. l think this
would be lovely thing. Let me
know as soon as you decide which
way it is going to be and if Won do.

CORN AND HOGS

With more and more farm attention being paid to livestock
it is significant that hogs and corn were the two most important
products displayed at Montanas two biggest fairs, the Billings
and Helena expOsitiOns. Time was, and not so long ago, when an
automobile was given for the best bushel of wheat and attention
was given to all sorts of crops. But now it is getting back to
corn and hogs.
hog show. 1t was a show that would have done credit to many
an eastern fair. Big, growthy pigs, well grown for their age and
possessing all the select blood lines of eastern winners faced the
judges. At Helena it was the same thing though the show was
somewhat smaller. There were good hogs, lots of them.
At both of these fairs the balance of the livestock show was
about as usual. There were fat, sleek beef cattle; dairy matrons
with all the fine points of the milk producers; fat sheep and sheep
so wrlnkled it was hard to find their heads; a few-very few
horses and there were hogs. Hogs everywhere, in the horse barns,
IN tents, IN crowded pens of the regular barns. At both fairs it
was the same, the big gains in the livestock division were in the
hog stalls.
In the exposition building corn was king. The many entries
IN the once popular wheat classes have dropped away. True many
still show wheat, wonderful wheat with quality even better than
in the old days-for we have some real wheat breeders in this
state-but the quantity was not there. On the other hand there
were hundreds of corn entries. Almost every county in the state
showed corn. There was red corn, white corn, yellow corn, the
spotted gehu, every kind and type of early maturing corn.
Hogs and corn. The outstanding features of Montana's two
largest fairs. Wheat a back number. Men buying boars and
looking into the merits of purebred breeding stock. Men studying
types OF corn ears and methods of seed selection.
1t all means that Montana is going to raise hogs and the feed
to grow them. We cannot grow corn in the Gallatin but our barley
is every bit as good. The educational value of the two fairs. the
point that each drove home was the same. Hogs and corn. Hogs
and corn.

McADOO ADMITS 1T

Mr.. McAdoo, one time director general of railroads under
government operation, insists that propagandists have overstated
the amount of deficit that government operation of the railroads
cost. He says that the deficit does not exceed $714,OO 900.
Congress has already paid out more than that and is not yet done
with its bill of expense. Competent judges predict that the de-
fct will be twice Mr.. McAdoo's estimate before railroad claims
will be fully satisfied.
However we have Mr.. AcAdoos admission that the deficit
was three-quarters of a billion. How will Mr.. McAdoo explain
why there was any deficit at all?
He might tell us why it was that wages on the railroads were
boosted way beyond the wage scale in other industries and
freight rates during the democratic administration cut down. It
must be remembered that wages went up during government
operation and continued to create enormous deficits many months
before freight rates went up.
Demagaogs today are making political capital out of the fact
that the freight rates went up soon after return of the railroads
to private control and the present railroad law is blamed by them
for the rise in freight rates. They conceal from the public the
fact that freight rates should have been increased during govern
ment control when wages were boosted. Had this been done there
might not have been such a huge deficit for taxpayers to pay.
1t was not done so let Mr.. McAdoo tell us why freight rates
did not go up on the same day that wages went up.
Republicans are mean enough to say that it was politics.
McAdoo put wages up and kept freight rates down in order to
get votes from railroad unions and farmers alike. Brookhart says
he will put freight rates down without cutting wages on the
railroads. McAdoo admits that his plan cost the government
$714,O0O,OO0 in deficit so he leaves us wondering what Brook
harris plan will cost.

LIVESTOCK AND THE FARMER

The fact that the country has absorbed the great increase
in the livestock supplies without a corresponding reduction in
prices is occasion for greater confidence in the immediate future
of the farming industry. Statistics show that the receipts of
hogs at five leading western markets for the year to date are
nearly 100000 greater than for the same period a year ago.
Gains in both cattle and sheep were more than 100000. In spite
of this tremendous gain the market has strengthened and live
stock farmers are beginning to make some profits, if not to recOup
the losses of previous years.
The Armour livestock bureau, is an analysis of the trade for
the first six months of the year, shows that during the six months
period the total consumption of beef and veal amounted to 2,494s-
100000 pounds against 2375,O00,00O during the same period in
1922. The consumption of mutton and lamb during the first half
of 1923 was 229, 100000 pounds against 2O9,OO0yO00 pounds the
previous year. For the 1928 half year period the domestic con-
sumption of pork was 3J330,OOO,OO0 pounds against $685. OOO,O 900
in 1922, a gain of 25 per cent. For the same length of time
exports increased 46 per cent. The domestic per capita consump-
ton increased from 24.2 pounds to 9O2 pounds or six pounds per.
capita.
The figures indicate that the livestock industry has a better
future before it. Unless production increases very materially
there should be a good market for all classes of livestock with cor
responding hardening of the prices in the next year or two, es-
pecialy if the foreign market opens up as it appears to be doing,
judging from the increased exports. In spite of the European
troubles the export demand is likely to increase, and as conditions
improve on the continent the consumption of American food stuffs
will increase. This should be a very favorable factor for the
American farmer.
On the other hand imports of European manufactured articles
increase and are likely to continue to increase, making more COM
petition for our home industries. 1t may be increasingly difficult
to compete with the low prices Of European labor. The increased
consumption of meats at home is due to some extent to the excel
lent condition of the manufacturing industry generally, making
it possible for the wage Garner to buy freely from his high earn
ings. If, however, industry lags and unemployment ensues the
inequality between the returns for labor on the farm and that of
other industries may be equalized. Industry itself will survive
only when it makes a profit, for lacking that it languishes and
dies. That would come only when low priced foreign labor pro-
duced goods below the profitable price here. In that case, how
ever, the farmer would be in the better position, since his fore
ign customer would absorb the decline in the home consumption
On the whole the livestock industry, as an index to the condition
of farming generally, points to a better condition in the future

the high school Monday and Tuesday,
October % and %.
On the afternoon of the first day,
a number of birds will be killed and
picked. They will be cooled w
night and the following morning in.
structions will be given on proper
methods of packing for shipment.
Suitable containers for shipment of
birds will be used.
We found last year that many of
our turkeys were shipped in poorly
constructed containees or in boxes
often weighing more than the con-
tents. If the demand were sufficient
we could get new poultry barrels
shipped in by the carload from Spok-
at a very reasonable price.
Growers of turkeys are urged to call
up the county agent, informing him
of the approximate number of
turkeys and when new barrels are
when they plan on marketing their
turkeys and yhen new barrels are
desired for their shipment.
Likewise, if you would like to at
tend the demonstration, call the
County Agent Immediately so that
enough turkeys will be on hand fol
every nj to practice on. This will
be the only demonstration this year
in this and adjoining counties.
The county agent would like to
hear from breeders who have a few
turkeys they would like to have killed
picked and packed. Theses will be
used in the demonstration.

Floyd Romney was the most con-
sistant ground gamer for Montana
and played phenomenal ball all
through the game. Knight, veteran
tackle, played the best game of his
long career and Rivers distinguished
himself at end, despite his unfortu,
nate tumble. Benton made several
sensational runs and Harma played a
stellar game. The chief weakness of
the local team was that the line SIM
ply. would not hold, giving the backs
little chance to organize effective
interference.
A big crowd of OFT Romney's Salt
Lake friends went to Provo to boost
for the BObcat team.
On Saturday the Bobcats will play
the strong Idaho Tech team in POca-
teIla on their way home. They are
spending this week in Salt Lake and
expect TO reach Pocatello Friday. The
team is expected home on Sunday.
Despite the unfortunate result Of
the game at Utah the Bobcat rOoters
are not discouraged, for Brigham
Young is said to have one of the
strongest teams in the Rocky Noun
tain conference. The local team is
expected to show far better form in
the coming games of the season and
the faults displayed in the Utah game
were chiefly those which character
lie early season play.
