Winslow fills the place left vacant

An angle to the swine situation
which has been little considered is
the question of the West entering
the breeding field.
Much has been said and written
along the lines of building up COM
mercial hog production in the West
the need for greater effort in this
direction being evidenced by the
western consuming centers reaching
eastward such long distances for
supplies.
Experience has taught that "cycles''
.Of prices on breeding (purebred)
hogs travel in inverse ratio with the
prices of commercial hogs. That is.
the prices paid to the breeder, as q
general thing, have shown strength
for anywhere from one to three years
following a period of lowering com
mercial hog prices. This is looking
somewhat ahead and, perhaps, is only
an incident in encouraging the West
to produce it's own breeding hogs
which are now practically all import
ed from the East with accompanying
losses incident to long distance ship
ping. Also, an important considera

ton is the losses experienced in the
importation of feeder pigs to the
West as against raising them locally.
However, it is a fact that COM
mercial hog prices have struck their
peak and if prices may be anticipated
t. recede, then wouldn't it be the
foresighted policy for the West to
get into the production of breeding
hogs so that when breeding hog
prices take their upward swing or at
least remain steady during the de-
cline in commercial hog prices, the
production would be here?
Aside form this, of course, the
same principle applies to the impOr-
tatiOn of breeding hogs as to COM
mercial hogs. The shipping differ
entail is always in favor of the
western producer so long as the
western demand exceeds the western
supply. The western producer who
can raise breeding stock and build up
his herd at the same time, selling off
the commercial hogs incident to the
production of breeding hogs to the
advantage offered by present prices
would seem to be in a very strong
position.

find SEED SPUDS
NOT ALWAYS True
TO VARIETY name

AS a result of several years tests
by the United States department of
agriculture of the seed potato offer
ings of a considerable number of
firms, it has been found that the in
correct naming of potato varieties is
far too frequent to be entirely acct
dental.
Out of the SO lots of named vari-
cites purchased from 45 seedsmen in
1925, 26 were found to be incorrectly
named. The most fragrant example
Of misnaming, or the substitution Of
one variety for another, was that of
a firm from whom three named vari-
cites were ordered. When the three
lots were received it was found that
the Spaulding Rose or Rose No. 4
had been substituted for all three
varieties. In other words, the seeds
man had filled the order out of a
seed bin containing a variety not
called for in the order. In other cases
seedsmen furnished incorrectly named
varieties, but in no case did the diff
ferent lots furnished by them con-
sist of the same variety.
Although a considerable number of
varieties were ordered in 1925 only
&c lots e actually received. Of
this number only 5 proved to be of
the variety specified in the order,
Whether the smaller number Of or
ders filled was due to a desire on

ness in the near future, the Survey
continues. Although recent reports
tend to show that the present level
of activity is scarcely as high as that
which prevailed at this time last
year, they also indicate that a grad
ual but distince recovery is under
way, and hence that the declines of
recent months need not be regarded
as marking the advent Of a long
period of curtailment.
Activities Slightly Below Year Ago
A level Of general trade not far
below that of the early weeks of last
year is indicated by the amount of
commercial check payments, as meas
ured by debts to individual accounts
by member banks of the Federal Re-
serve system in lao cities, not includ-
ing New York. Although the actual
total for the year to date is about
1 per cent larger than that for he
corresponding period in 1926, this in
crease is hardly sufficient to reflect
even the normal growth Of business
during the year. On the other hand,
the lower level Of commodity prices
that now prevails would seem to
show a somewhat larger gain in the
physical volume of trade.
A similar trend is indicated by ,
comparison Of railway freight car

coal, which have been unusually large

FARMING GETTING

Doing Well

The agricultural season is getting
under way early this year, according
to the March 1 report Of the bureau
of agricultural economics, United
States department Of agriculture, on
&he farming situation.
Spring work and crop growth in
the South are reported as progress
ing rapidly. Many fruit trees were
in full bloom by the middle of Feb
ruary in the Gulf states and even
farther north.
The dairy outlook in the Eastern
states is considered good for the
year. Field work has been begun
in the more southern areas of the
Corn belt, although the land gener-
ally throughout the belt is unfit to
work as yet.
Winter wheat growth and condition
are reported as fairly good. Live
stock have wintered well. Hog rails
ers are optimistic. There is talk Of
increased hog breeding this year, de-
pending, however, on corn prospects.
Oats are being sown in the south
ern portions of the wheat belt, with
earlier sOwings already up. Wheat
cooks good in the eastern part of the
belt; but not so good in the West.
Late SHOWS helped grain in western
Kansas. The spring wheat territory
Is none too optimistic following a

The report says that "the South
probably will grow considerably more
corr and other feed crops this year,
so that if acreages are sustained
elsewhere a good growing season
might bring another year of chear
food stuffs. Nevertheless, the farm

Beyond any question of doubt the appropria-

bill that was signed by the Governor and made a

Nor is there any question that the measure

makers and the signing. by the Governor, changes
were. made in that measure
This fact is important. The changes them
selves may or may not be.
AS matter of fact it is quite probable that
executive officers could be forced to promise to carry
out the will of the legislators and the Governor
might be prevailed upon to take out of the fund

Real thoughts

Speaking of psychology, DR.. Carney
Lands, who teaches 1t at Wesleyan
University, has discovered that
people talk mostly about themselves.
Why shouldn't they when you
come to think about 1t. Whom does
one know so we'll as himself, or with
whom is he in a position to talk so
freely and frankly? u.s.
But whatever you may think Of
DR.. Landis' conclusion, his method
Of arriving at it was unique.
He stood on street corners, with
notebook in hand, and took down
what he heard. He listened to people
talk while they were unaware of it..
1t is an excellent method to use in
finding out what people think.
If you ask direct questions, people
are apt to answer as they think
you would like to have them. to
strike pose and try to please.
The surest way to get an accurate
reflection of these thoughts, in
terests and attitudes is to catch them
off their guard.
