In a great struggle between outstanding college football stars of the coun try. West trounced East, 16 to 6 to day to win the annual intersectional charity game before a crowd of more than 27,000 persons. It was a stunning upset as the eastern squad, boasting some of the finest players developed on the sun- nse or tne itockies in years, was a heavy favoiite to come thru victory. Outplaying their opponents in the first two periods, the westerners seized three opportunities to score a pair of touchdowns and a safety.

Tlioy the trip in the car of Mr' J Nebraska hams and bacon are in j demand on the Pacific coast, de ; clares W. Howard Forsyth, assistant : statistician for the state and federal division of agricultural economics here. In 1926 California bought more live hogs from Nebraska than from all other states combined, and one out of every seven pigs raised in the Cornhusker state that year went west to be slaughtered, just double the amount shipped in 1922, he says. "Our nearest competitor, Colorado, sold just one-fifth as many hogs to the western state. These 4,711 car3 totaled 423.990 head, more hogs than there were on the farms in Washington and Oregon and almost as many as there were on all the farms in the state of California that year," Mr. Forsyth said. Other western markets, Tacoma, Portland, Seattle. Denver, Ogden, Salt Lake City and Casper, tcok a lesser number of Nebraska hogs, but brought the number shipped west out of the state to something more than 7,000.000 head, he continue. "While California has been buy ing more and more Nebraska hogs, the other western markets have de clined a little in importance as our customers, but the westward move ment has grown steadily," he says. How the 1927 shipments will com pare with 1926 is not. yet known but there will probably be no great increase, Mr. Forsyth believes. Re cords for the first nine months of the year at the Los Angeles stock yards would indicate a 9.5 per cent increase over 1926, but other information teiuls to discourage thjs reported prospect. "Probably no other hog market ing state is so fortunately situated with regard to markets as Nebraska," he concludes. "Omaha, the second largest livestock market in the world, in the eastern end of the state, to gether with Sioux City, and St. Joseph In easy shipping distance, of- j fer a local market that cannot be excelled.
