While the self-feeder requires attention. it need oni be a daily one to make sure th feed is available and that no block has occurred in the feed hoppe . But self-feeding should not lead to carelessness and to neglect of the pigs. It is important to watch the development of the pigs, pos- sibly more so than with hand feeding, and prepare a feed mix- ture suitable to their growth and condition. To do this. the feed mixture will need to be varied from time to time. In developing feed mixtures for self-feeding, possibly the simplest way is to consider first the feed mixtures used for hand feeding. There are commercial pig starters. pig growers. and pig finishers avsilabIe,,or the operator can mix his own mixtures from home- grown grains along with protein and mineral supplements. When self-feeding such mixtures it is advisable to include more of the bulky feeds such as oats. alfalfa meal or bran. With increased bulk in the ration the pig will still sat- isfy his appetite, but will consume less of the fattening feeds includ- ed in the mixture. Self-feeding of market hogs is suitable for winter or summer. for indoors or outdoors, for dry lot or pasture. In any case, fresh water should always be supplied. preferably running. or from some self-watering device, regularly and frequently filled. Complete information on the self-feeding of swine, suitable feed mixtures and a plan with con- struction details of a self-feeder are contained in Circular No. 129 "The Self-Feeder for HOB!" which n be obtained free upon request. rom Information Service.

With the exception of wheat which does not a .conform to the general maturity-yield relation- ship, the earlier maturing varie- ties do not yield as well as the later ones. and the final choice, says A. A. Guitalrd, will depend to a large exlienft .on the "frosti- ness" of the immediate locality where they are to be grown.

The impact of the I ban is re- flected in import statistics which show that of the total UHIPITIEIIIJ of all Russian goods to the United States in the first half of 1950- valued at 520,410.000--h1l'l 00- counted for 511,118,000, of which more than 010,000,000 were un- dressed furs.

Meanwhile signed letters have been sent to Senator Herbert Lehman in which they urge an immediate embargo on shipments of Russian furs. Previously made in Paris and recently both in Paris and New York, Christian Dior furs will henceforth be manufactlsred in New York. The main purpose of this move is to relieve the duty payments on fiurs that are im- ported by American stores from Paris. Manufacturing Dior funs here will also eliminate the need of sending skins from the United states in Paris to be made into garments there. The Paris and New York collections will contin- ue to be designed in Paris by Dior lnd two fur shows will still be held yearly in both cities to each there was available.

With so little of the i940 crop remaining and a three month wait ahead before the 1950 goods come to market, it stands' to reason that merchants will be willing to pay more for mink, especially in the current bull market than they were earlier in the season when lots of merchandise At a gathering of national, re- gional. state and local fur organ- Russiam furs should be handled by the state department and Con- gress railherr than by longshoremen I-7.0)'cott.
