grower, has just completed a new
house for his sow and brood, and in
which he was assisted by E. E. Leach,
the accommodating manager of the
D. Ray Frans lumber yard.
Frank Warden is at this time con
structing for himself a new wagon
box. But a short time since he had
manufactured a truck body, and
made an excellent one and his friends
are expecting that the second effort
will more than equal the first. There
is no way of knowing just how' a bit
of work should be done thau doing
it one self.
Messrs. D. Ray Frns and IlaHas
Banning, accompanied by Mrs. Frans
and their son, Jimmie, were over to
Lincoln on last Saturday where Mr.

E. E. Leach was making a feeding
floor at his home east of Union and
seeking to get the very best of the
location, placed it beside the barn
and as some of the concrete was
poured, the weather settled into a

Wagon Hit by Car.
As one of the wogans which was
being used for the gathering of corn,
on the Charles Garrison farm and
when the wagon was well loaded and
was going from the field to the house,
a car coming along on the highway,
more in a hurry.than exercising care,
slammed into the corn wagon, caus
ing a great mixup, breaking the wag
on and scattering corn over the high
way for some distance. It would seem
that people could take time to drive
their cars with some degree of san
ity, rather than endanger their own
lives and property and that of others
in their hurry to get somewhere when
they have nothing to do when they
get there.
Traveling on No. 75 Now.

ing up traffic from going through on

student of Union, making her home
on a farm south of town, has been
in delicate health on account of re
peated attacks of appendicitis, was
compelled last week to go to the hos
pital at Nebraska City, where she
underwent an operation for relief.
The case was a very aggrevated one
and had ran some time, the appendix
having burst some ten or twelve
hours before the operation which
made the operation one of extiome
seriousness. Following the operation
the young woman was very sick, and
during the following few days was
very critical. However, the first of
this week her condition was reported
as being improved.

Mrs. John Opp Home.
Mrs. John Opp who has been very
ill for some time at the hospital in
Omaha, was so much improved that
she was allowed to return home the
middle of last week. Mrs. J. J. Pol
lard had been visiting with friends
in Omaha, and when Mr. Pollard
went to bring her home, Mr. Opp
also accompanied him and brought
Mrs. Opp home as well. She is show
ing continued improvement since her
return home.
Played Pinochle.
Clayton A. Rosencrans and son,
William, during the time when Mrs.
Rosencrans was attending the Amer
ican Legion Auxiliary meeting at In
dianapolis, Ind.. slipped down to Ne
hawka for a visit with the parents-in-law,
John G. Wunderlich and wife,
and as a manner of passing the rainy
day last Sunday sought with Henry
Gieuber and J. G. Wunderlich, to
play a game or two of pinochle. The
games went all right but it seemed
as though the two players here did
not care to allow the Plattsmouth
boy to have any of the games come
his way. Then maybe it was all luck,
anyway for one can never tell in
cards.

Charles I. Adams and superin
tendent E. C. Steinbert, with some
ten of the members of the Boy Scouts
were over to Lincoln on last Satur
day 'where they were guests of the

on his auto. When Mr. Saxton reach

health and felt no warning of the
illness when he left home Friday.

SURPRISED ON WED
DING ANNIVERSARY
The hog grower should try to
regulate his hog production in rela
tion to the present and future supply
and demand of pork, supply of other
competing meats, supply of feeds, and
the relation to other farm enter
prises, A. G. George of the agricul
tural college says.
While feed is an important item
in determining the extent to which
livestock feeding will be followed.
substitution of Nebraska's excessive
wheat crop will relieve other feed
shortages and very little feed will
have to be shipped into Nebraska
The. corn-hoe ratio, which is ex
pressed by the number of bushels of
corn that 100 pounds of live hog will
buv. is nuite generally used as a
guide to determine the profit in feed
ing hogs. When this ratio stands at
1 to 11 or over, that is, when 100
pounds of live hog will buy 11 or
more bushels of corn, then hog feed
ing is considered profitable. In Aug
ust the ratio compiled by the United
States department of agriculture
stood at 1 to 12.3, compared to a re
cent ratio based on Omaha prices
which stood at 1 to 10. The farm
ratio is usually wider than the ter
minal market ratio because it costs
less to ship hogs to market than to
ship the corn required to fatten the
hogs.
Competing Meats a Factor.
The sunrly of competing meats is
larger this year than last with the
exception of poultry and poultry
products. There are larger numbers
of beef cattle, but indications point
to considerable decrease in feeding
operation in the corn belt. The sup
ply of sheep is larger this year than
last and mutton and lamb cuts will
probably compete with pork on re
tail market more than they have in
recent years.
The number of hogs on farms in
the United States is larger than a
year ago. ine important European
hog producing countries also have
larger numbers than a year ago. The
June pig survey showed an increase
for the United States, and also in
Nebraska. Indications are that the
1931 fall pig crop is larger than 1930
fall pig crop. Definite figures will be
available in early December when
the pig survey is released.
The consumer demand for pork
was very low during 1930 and has
continued low in 1931. The domestic
demand is at its lowest level in the
last nine years. This decline in de
mand is due to general business de
pression, competition of other meats
and failure of retail prices to fall
with the live hog price. Pork exports I
have heen lower this vpar than in From
any of the preceding thirty years.
The export demand is likely to con
tinue low due to the large numbers
of hogs on European hog producing
farms.
Hog production and prices move
together in cycles but in reverse or
der. That is when production is high,
prices are low and when production
is low, prices are high. Indications
point to the fact that we are on the
upward trend in production. The
