tain feeding value in sight, good corn
high in price, and other grains cor
responding, the problem of finishing
this years pig crop for market is a
difficult one.
The principal experiments that
will be reported this year by Profs.
E. F. Ferrin and M. A. McCarty,
the men in charge are:
1. The value of wheat by-products
as substitutes for part of the corn for
feeding growing pigs and fattening
pigs.
2. The value of rye in combina-
lions with other feeds as substitute
for corn in swine feeding.
8. The Importance and value of
several protein supplements to corn
and mill feed in feeding young pigs
at weaving time.
a. The comparative value of but
termilk and commercial buttermilk
products in feeding growing pigs.
5. The comparative advantages
and problems in raising fall narrowed
as compared to raising spring far
rowed pigs
Addresses will be given by several
speakers who are qualified from ex-
perience to talk on matters pertain
ing to swine production. The pro-
, gram will begin in the livestock pa
vilion at University Farm at 10: 100 A.

Minnesota Swine Wins at Peoria
Show-Three Minnesota firms made
entries in the National Swine Show
at Peoria, ILL.,, and each returned
home with the bacon. Armistice Boy,
from the Poland China herd of w.
J. Graham & Sons of Waverly, was
senior yearling, senior champion, and
grand champion boar of his breed.
Kritzeck brothers of Howard Lake
had the first and second junior Pc
land China boar, and A. E. Engel-
bretson of Mortified won first on a
senior yearling Yorkshire boar and
the senior and grand championship.
H. G. Zavoral, livestock specialist
with the University of Minnesota, was
general superintendent of the Nation
al Show.
Pile Fabric Is Best for Winter
Coats-Wo who are purchasing
either the material for a winter coat
or the ready-to-wear garment should
be informed as to the comparative
values of the two types of fabrics
which are available pile fabric
and the mapped fabric "For several
years the pile fabric, originally
known as Bolivia cloth, but in recent
years appearing under numberless
trade names, was the generally used
material" says Marion Wheeler, of
the home economics division, Univer
sity Farm. Son account of the struc-
ture of the fabric-which has a
surface covered with upright ends of
extra yarns that have been thrown
up into loops and cut as in velvet, it
affords splendid wearing quality.
Fashion, however, has decreed
that the pile fabric, is no longer
smart and for two years has been
trying to eliminate it. In spite of
this edict the people who are demand
ing good wearing quality are still
asking for pile fabrics, and some man.
ufacturers are recognizing this de-
mand and are producing the material,
which may be found among yard
goods or in the ready-to-wear gar
ment.
"The. mapped fabric has downy
or fuzzy appearance that is prot.uced
in the finish of the cloth rather than
in the weaving process, as is the case
with the pile fabric. When the ma
terial comes from the loom it has no
nap, but after going through the nap
ping machines where it comes in con-
tact with rollers covered with fine
steel needle-like teeth the ends of
the fibers are raised to the surface
and fuzzy appearance is given to
the cloth. This nap may be left
raised as in blanket material, or. it
may be brushed and pressed to give
the cloth smoother and glossier
look. Whatever may be the final
finish given to the nap, the fact re-
mains that the process of mapping
tends to weaken the yarns in the
cloth. Moreover a poorer quality OF
wool may be used in the yarns and
easily disguised.
"The pile fabric is generally more
expensive than the mapped fabric,
but the greater length of service for
the garment more than compensates
for the initial cost.

Editors Look. Into. Forest Condi.
tions-A group of newspaper men
from the Twin Cities and other parts
of Minnesota on October 10 and II
visited the University Forest Exper-
iment Station at Cloquet to see how
the station had worked out the preb.
lens of reforestation and forest man
agement for the growing of timber
crops throughout Minnesota cutovel
and burned over forest areas.
After their visit ito the forest sta.
ton, the newspaper men were the
guests of the business men of Clio.
ouet. The Clouquet men took them
through the saw mills, paper mills
box factories, wall board, clothespin,
toothpick and other establishments,
to show how wood-using industries
furnished market for a great vari-
ETY. of forest products, and how such
industries created business center
providing a market also for food
products from the farms of the re-
gion.
The newspaper men, through thei,
study of the situation, became ac-
quainted with the problem confront
ing Minnesota in the forest situation.
That problem involves the keeping OF
the forest areas productive in order
