be the best way also. An instance
of such happy combination of
''easy way-best way conditions
which should appeal to all hog
raisers is the method adopted by
the u. S. Dept. of Ag. in feeding
and handling sows and filters dur
ing the sucking period. 49,.
Sows and filters are now self
fed in preference to being hand
fed at the government farm as a
result of conclusions formed from
a three-year study of the two me-
thods. The general plan of the
test was to place the same kinds
of feeds in separate compartments
of a self-feeder for sows and lit
tiers being settled as were given
to the hand fed group. The hand
fed sows and filters were fed all
they would readily clean up twice
daily while the settled sows and
filters had free access to the self
feeders at all times.
The results of the three-year
test indicate that: Self-feeding
sows and litters during the suck
ling period saves both labor and
feed: the settled lot was more
thrifty than the handled lot; a
total of AL pounds of feed was
required for 100 pounds of gain
in the settled lots, while the hand
fed lots required 603 pounds; the
pigs from the settled lots made
greater daily gains from farrow-
ing to weaving and also during
the various tests in which they
were subsequently, used.
1t was noted also that no over
crowding of sows and pigs occur
red at the self-feeders even where
there was a large number Of sows
with filters in one lot. There is
also less danger of overeating
when feed is available at all times
as is the case with self-feeding.

FEEDERS DAY AT PROSSER
The annual feeders day program
will be held at the Irrigation
Branch Experiment Station at
Prosser. Thursday, March Is. This
is a day when livestock men of the
county can gather a lot of first
hand information on results of
feeding experiments and we feel
that livestock farmers of the coun-
ty should make real attempt to
visit the station on this day.
Program is as follows: Inspec-
ton of the cattle, lamb and pig
feeding, experiments to begin at
10 o'clock. Those who arrive ear
lier will be given this extra oppor-
tunity to study these lots. A sand
witch and coffee lunch will be serv-
ed at the station by the lProsser
Community club promptly at 1I:3O
and a short program discussion
on results of feeding experiments

MODERN FLAPPfR IS SEVERELY CONDEMNED
Medical Expert Declares Her Life Habits Serious
 ly Threaten Health

Battle Creek. Mich. Jan. | R- Modern dress, the insane desire'' for . boyish appearance and "too much night life." were held today by Dr. s. Adolphus knopf of New York as causes for the alarming increase in the morbidity and mor- tality of tuberculosis among young women."
 Speaking before the third Race Betterment conference. Dr. Knopf, major in the medical officers re serve corps of the army. indicted the modern napper for what she did. what she wore. what she ate and what she drank.
 "The filmy modern dress of thin material, sleeveless waist and short skirt. low shoes and silk stockings worn in the coldest weather" con- stitute the first cause of disease among young women. in Dr. knopf's opinion. Second, he placed 'the in- sane desire for a boyish appearance causing intentional undernourish- ment. fear that in spite of a good appetite Q good meal will produce overweight and ignorance of the fact that 10 to II pounds over weight between the ages of IS and 26 are far less dangerous than the same number of pounds under weight"
 Referring to his indictment ot ''too much night life." Dr. Knopl explained 1t generally resulted in 'insuficlent sleep and generally too many cigarettes and too much bad liquor"
 He recommended periodic exami- nations to discover incipient tuber- culosis and improvement in the housing conditions where young women live and work.
 Dr. Anthony Carlson. chairman of the department of physiology. Uni versity of Chicago. discussed the subject of what kind of race is de- sired.
 Have We decided that We want a race on the model of an Einstein. a Mussolini. Napoleon or a Jack Dempsey" he asked.
 Dr. Carlson found little in the present human strain, taking it in the large. to warrant perpetuation. He deplored the artificial prepara ton of food. the increasing use Of medicines drugs and poison, which. he said. will affect the germ plasm and the future of the race.

 Glowing Future Ahead
 Lindbergh pictured air navigation as on the threshold of glowing future and urged congress to legis- late in its interest. He recommended widespread airways, mot only with a view to the condition that exists but also with view toward the de- veloprnent that we are bound to have both in navigation and in de- velopment of aircraft"
 II do not think that our aircraft today are nearly as efficient as they will be q few years from now" he said.
 Weather No Obstacle
 "I believe also that we will be able to fly and land in practically every kind of weather conditions when radio instruments, radio bea- cons and other means of combating weather conditions have been fully developed. We will eventually be able to combat fog. At the present time we can fly through it indefinite ly, with the aid of radio beacons. We can not land bindly. We will have to develop some method. either by radio or some other means, by which we can obtain our exact ele- vation and position over the field"
 Uniform laws and regulations for fliers and flying are very important, Lindbergh told the committee.
 At present the practice seems to be for the student who has just learned to fly. and who is without sufficient experience to engage in
