It represents the in dividual quota of $270 each alum nea is asked to get or give in the million dollar campaign now un der way. 1 xplanation of the sym bol was made in a bulletin mailed to the alumnae this week. The Wesleyan plan of assigning an individual quota to each alumnae is similar to that successfully used by the University of Georgia in its campaign several years ago. The Wesleyan quota is smaller than that accepted by the Georgia alumni and since pledges are payable over a five year period it is expected that every Wesleyan alumna will find it practicable to assume her share in the movement. The Georgia quota wa’s $315.00. FARMEfIS SHDULO STUDY PRDDUCTIOH Over And Under-Production Responsible For Fluctuations In Hog Market Experts Find WASHINGTON, February 27. —Hog raising in the United States is dominated by a tendency to fall into a circle of successive over and underproduction, normally running two years from one extreme to the other. This is brought about large ly by the fact that the amount of breeding at a given time is mainly determined the profits made from hogs during the preceding year, which depend on the ratio between the price of corn and the price of hogs. So say economists of the Depart ment of Agriculture who have in vestigated fluctuations in hog pro duction from 1871 to 1915. It was pointed out that if these up:; and downs are to be eliminated, hog breeding must be based on a sounder view of probable future conditions than be obtained merely from the memory of past profits. The period, 1871 to 1915, was chosen for study because the aim was to find out whit relations exi. t between hog production and prices and the corn situation in normal times, it was stated Since the- World War disturbed normal con ditions, the war period was left out of the reckoning. The close connection between corn and hog production is due to the fact that about 85 per cent of the corn crop is consumed by live stock. and about 40 per cent of the corn crop is consumed by hogs, it was pointed out. It was found that hog breeding reaches its maxiumum from half a year to a year after hog •prices touch their peak in relation to corn i prices and begin to decline. This belated action by the breeders pro duce? a surplus of hogs a year or more later, by which time the hog corn ratio is usually at or near its low point. On the other hand, it was said that breeding does not reach its low point until some time after the hog-corn ratio has be gun to rise again. Thus, it was shown there is consequently a swing to under-production. Apparently, the price which packers pay for hogs during a giv en season does not depend wholly upon the actual supply offered, but is influenced to a greater extent by current and prospective condi tions in the country as a, whole, as indicated by the amount of breed ing that has been done and 'by re cent and current tendencies in the corn prices. The investogators stated that farmers would be well advised to study these conditions, instead of rushing into hog production when prices are righ and going out of the business when prices ate low.

Saunders, president of the ’First National Bank, well known throughout the state and one of the leading citizens of this section, died at his home Tuesday as the result of an automobile accident on the night of February 7. Dr. Saunders was returning home from Newton, Ga., when rounding a curve he met a car driven by Mrs. C. R. Davis, of near Arlington. The lights from the latter car blinded him, causing a collision. His car turned over several times while only the front wheel of the other car was damaged and the occup - ants were unhurt. Dr. Saunders sustained injuries that at first were not considered very serious but complications set in about 10 days ago and since that time his condition was critical. Monday he took a change for the worse and death came. Free! Free! R. T. F. M. C. S. ' • RYLANDER “£ JS MONDAY-TUESDAY, MARCH 3-4 D. W.
