Hogs Solution !
of Farm Finance,
. York Man Says
Col. V. A. . Thompson De-
duet Infallible Brood Sowi
Will Furnish Money for
Tuts and Interest.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan,5.-Th Infal
libly broo4 tow ! the remedy that
will replace the farmer's lonei. the
quickest, with the lst Investment
and the slightest risk, Col. W. A.
Thompson I York said in an ad
dress before the Nebraska Swine
Breeders' association .here today.
Many thrifty land owners wilt tes
tify that during the -period of de
pression, hogi lurniihed the money
to pay taxes and interest, he said.
"Today the farmer finds his bank
balance depleted and credit hard to
Obtain, saw COIonei inuwyauii.
"We are anxious to find a remedy
that will replace our losses. The in
fallible brood sow is the remedy.
Hogs continued to show a profit tn
depressed times uirtil the mortgage
finally was lifted and more acres
were added to the holdings. The
worth of the brood sow as a per
manent shock absorber to carry us
over the bumps of adversity is more
in evidence today than ever before.
"Recently I sold a herd of 130
nhoats, weighing on the average of
100 pounds, all well bred. They sold
a feeders for $9 per head a total
of $1,170 and a sum equal o the
worth of 4,000 bushels of corn.; As
the first 100 pounds of pork is cheap
ly produced, they paid for about
3,000 bushels of corn they, did not
consume." ' . .. ,
Corncribs are filled to the' over
flowing point, while a reduction in
livestock numbers is observed. Col
onel Thompson stated. He said
f1ir an mrrrnrndiKrtion of torn
and an underproduction of live?
stock. ' i- r
"Men believed they were doing
the profitable thing when they cur
tailed their livestock productions
during? the peak of. grain . prices,
while today they are ' confronted
with a' problem the result df a de-1
sire to make quick profits with no
thought of - the future," Colonel
Thompson declared. "Brood sows
and their gilts are converting many
corn crops into profits. ,, : Farmers
who possess no hogs are coming to
your farms this winter. to absorb
your surplus. .'
"L have a friend who recently
traded six oure-bred eilts to a neigh
bor for 1,000 Bushels of corn. . My
friend delivered the gilts in one wag
on load and the neighbor paid for.
them with 18 wagon loads of corn,
One brood sow raised the six gilts,
while it took 25 acre of high-priced
land and a good amount of tlmt
and expense to produce 1,000 bu.h.
els ol corn."

War Corporation
Useless, Asserts
Implement Man
Finance Body Duplicate Work
of Reserve Bank Estab
lishsient Political Move,
Speaker Says.
Establishment of the'War Finance
corporation was a political move by
the republican party, according to
T. N. W'itten. Trenton, Mo.,' who
addressed the thirteenth annual con
vention of the Mid-West Implement
Dealers' association at the Hotel
Rome' yesterday.
"There was no need of the Wit
Finance corporation," Mr. Witten
said." The Federal Reserve bank
already was established and author
ized to do the work taken tip Dy tne
finance corporation.
"The sreat trouble with the Fed
eral Reserve board Is its mismanage
ment in many departments. There
are too many 'big' men on the board
Out of 30,000 banks in the Unite!
States. 10,000 have had no aid from
the Federal Reserve banks because
the little fellows had no influence, or
representatives.
Unfair to West. .
"At the time when the Federal Re
serve bank was at its highest effi
ciency 53 per cent of the funds were
loaned out in New York. 'That's not
fair to the western bankers. Under
proper management the Federal Re
serve, bank could have $3 for every
$1 now out on loans. .
Mr. Witten declared the Roman
of old knew more about scientific
agriculture than do the farmers of
today.
