FARROWED PIGS
SHOW INCREASE
(FrOm the Montana State COIIege)


IA ONTANA farmers have approx
IV mately eight per cent fewer
fall farrOwed pigs on hand this
winter than a year ago, according to
the report Of the December pig sur
vey just issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture. For the
nation as a whole there was a two
and four-tenths per cent increase in
fall narrowing this season over the
previous fall. The number Of pigs
saved per litter is about the same as
a year ago making the total number
or pigs saved from fall narrowing ap-
proximately three per cent greater
than in the fall of 1925.
A comparison Of number Of sOWs bred or
to be bred for spring narrowing Indicates
an increase Of about Is per cent for the
nation as a whole and almost nine and a
half per cent for Montana. The greatest
gain is shown in the south. There inter
est In swine had been on the wane for sew
eral years, due probably to the increased
interest In cotton. Following the price
slump in cotton last fall, farmers again
turned more Of their attention to other
farm possibilities. A "a per cent increase in
spring narrowing is expected in the south
central states. The state Of Texas is ex.
pecting a 5 per cent increase. The south
Atlantic states report a probable q pei
cent increase.
The corn belt reports an increase Of ap
proXimately five per cent in fall farrOwinl
over a year ago and is expecting an in
crease Of about nine per cent in sprins
narrowing. The IL far western states far
rOwed about the same number Of pigs il
the fall as the year before and report pros
poets Of a D per cent increase in sprins
narrowing. Oregon and Idaho show tn
greatest probable increase IN spring pigs
each showing an advance Of approximate
80 per cent over last year. Montana show
the lowest probable gain OF any Of tn
western states in spring narrowing.
Economists point out that recent re
ports indicate a tendency on the part 0
farmers to Over-estimate intended sprin
farrOwings. If this tendency continue
this spring the estimated Is per cent in
crease in spring narrowing for the natiO
as a whole may be considerably reduce
aud the hog supply situation may renal
about the same as in the past year.

Y YOICING it's hearty approval Of
" the work that is being done by
the Montana State college and
the Experiment Station and Exten-

reau in annual convention at BOze-
man recently pledged itself in full
support of the projects now in hand.
School finances, gasoline prices in
Montana, and other topics were
touched upon in the following resell
utions which were unanimously
passed:
eth Montana Farm Bureau in annual
convention is pleased with the improved
condition OF agriculture in the state, with
the continuing Industrial prosperity of
the nation and with the prospects that the
coming year will be equally satisfactory.
We extend to farmers Of the south and GER
tain sections Of the middle west and north
west our deep regret that the uncOntrOll-
able forces Of nature have again cOnSpired
to their great disadvantage, emphasizing
once more that this nation needs an effect
i've means for preventing violent nuctua-
ions in prices for farm products.
Recognizing the Importance Of our pub
lie school system, the need for competent
instruction and supervision, we ask that
more stringent educational requirements be
placed upon candidates for the position Of
county superintendent Of schools.

ton because Of the constitutional limita

need for a constitutional convention t

may have the necessary authority in decid

"SiDce there is great inequality in tal
levies for the support of common schools
we ask adequate state support for elemen
tary schools, lowering Of district respon
sibilitE, and a better distribution systen

so urge adequate support for the Univer

the proposal to appoint a special state com

Fnrmnrs OnnNse Annexation

Greenup Of Daniels county is said to pro-
pose annexing from Valley county are
strongly opposed to the move, according
to reports received recently at Opheim. It
is claimed that Daniels county is seeking
the Opheim territory because it is a rich
agricultural area and now has railroad
property that would bolster the cOunty's
valuation. Farmers living in the extreme
northeastern corner Of Valley county are
quoted as saying they prefer to stay in Vail
ley county because it is older and richer.
They express the BELIEF that taxes would be
