Bill for Town to
Borrow Money
Representative Clayton 'Moore,
introduced a bill in the House of
Representatives on Wednettday to
authorize the town of W'illiamifton
to borrow money. We understand
lKiit this money is to be used to
pay up bjinds or notes that are ma
turing fatter than the revenue from
taxes is able to take care of them.
It is our sincere desire to cooper
ate with the town fathers in all
their efforts to advance the inter
ests of the town, and for this pur
pose, as also for the benefit of the
taxpayers, we think a published
statement of the expenditures and
the financial standing »f the town
should be made.
For (he good of the city fathers,
as »e said before, because when
taxes are as high as they are in a
time of financial depression, such
as we are all experiencing, some
are likely to criticize unduly, and
a statement would explain the sit
uation. make the taxpayers, as well
as those in authority, more sat
isfied.
A town statement has not been
made for several years, and there
fore, for the above reasons, we are
asking our cily officials to give us

'hem to a finish, using 220 bushels of
com, 2f> bushels of wheat, and I,oo* I
IKiunds of fish meal. Part of the corn
vas ground, the wheat ground, and
I mixed the corn ineal, wheat meal,
mid Ash meal together, feeding it in
n slop mixture.
"The pigs averaged about eight
months old when killed and weighe-'
i. total of 6,611 pounds. Selling the
l»>rk at 15 1-2 cents per pound
brought me $1,009.20; the lard and
l>vers were worth about $45,20, mak
ing a total of $1,055.40. The total
cost of feed given after taking the
pigs from the corn and soybeans ws
$349.50, which left a profit of $705.90
I figured the corn and soybeans to be
worth sl7 per acre, or nine acres to
be worth $153. This, when deducts!
from *5705.90, left me a net profit of
(U2.90 on the work and allowed me
to sell my corn and soybeans through
the hogs at a good price."
Mr. Pou states that this grower
enthusiastic about his venture into the
hog-feeding game and that the suc
