Car Lead Ore Brings
Two Miners Sum of $4,000

PLATTEVTLLE.-H and Harker,
a small partnership mining concern
operating with a small force of men,
sold car of lead ore last week that
brought them over $4,000.
Hird and Harker are old time min
ers, and mainly wage earners, and
have had this mine going on two
years and have made frequent sales
getting high prices.
There is still a very good showing
of lead ore in their mine. This mine
is located between Hazel Green and
Benton, near the main road

SUCCESSFUL
EMPLOYERS

All of us can be successful employers; if not of
men, at least of those of our dollars saved from our
earnings.
Just as some of us cannot successfully direct
the activities of number of employees so a large
number do not successfully direct the activities of
their funds.
How many of us have listened to the siren songs
of pecan orchards gushing oil wells, orange groves
and the like? And how many of them have returned
us anything but experience? It's strange thing,
but true; most Of the wealth owned by our neigh
bors was accumulated right at home and not built
on fabulous returns on far away Developments
Nothing could possibly be more of home in
dustry than the Interstate Power Company with it's
huge investments right in your home territory
You can see its property all around you and the uses
of electricity, gas, or it's other services by your
neighbors and yourself furnish it's income.
You should share in this income; you help to
produce it. you share in it through the purchase
of the 81 Dividend Cumulative Preferred Stock of
the Company. Full information will gladly be given
you on request without the slightest obligation on
your part

TIE MOULTING WISCONSIN PIG
en- STICKS TOICROP PROMISES
EST IN FALLILARGE RETURNS
Hog Producers Have Many
Reasons to Expect Con-
tinued High Prices.

The 1925 pig crop on the Wiscon-
sin and other leading pork producing
state farms promises to be one of the
most profitable in ten years, accord
ing to the Blue Valley Creamery In
stitute, which states that hog produc-
ers of this state have many reasons
to expect that hog prices will contin-
lie on a high level during the next
IL to Is months.
Raise Hogs on Cheap Corn
In proof of these statements the In
stitute offers the following explana-
ton: On the average, hogs consume
about 40 per cent of the corn crop,
the average hog being built chiefly
out of about fifteen to twenty bushels
of corn. The close relation between
corn and hog production is therefore
obvious. Hogs are considered profit
able when the farm price of hogs per
hundred pounds is sufficient to pay
for about IL bushels of corn. When
corn is cheap and hogs high priced
the production of hogs is stimulated,
but excessive receipts on the market
strongly tend to lower hog prices. Fat
tening the increased number uses up
the supply of corn and raises it's price.
With hogs going down and corn go
ing up it finally becomes more profit
able to sell corn as corn rather than
in the form of pork. Then, gradually,
fewer hogs are produced and hog
prices rise, while the larger amount
of corn sold depresses the price of
that grain until it becomes profitable
to go in for more hogs again.
Pig Crop Less Than 1924
For some years now there has been
a falling off of the pig crop from pre-
ceding years. In the summer of 1928
the corn-hog ratio outlined above be-
came so unfavorable that growers
changed their plans for the fall pig
crop, with the result that the fall pig
crop showed drop of 3.8 per cent
from 1922. The 1924 spring crop was
II per cent less than that of 1923 and
the 1924 fall crop 23.4 per cent less
than the crop of the fall of 1928 The
1925 spring crop showed a reduction
of 1916 per cent under 1924. This drop
in hog production over two or three
years is being reflected in present mar
ket quotations which are the highest
they have been in some years. Espe-
cially gratifying are present condi-
tions to the growers who maintained
or increased their herds during the
low price period of 1923 and 1924, for
these are now reaping their reward
