War Department plans Rock Island arsenal expansion
The Secretary of War proposes a supplemental appropriation of 250 000 to expand Rock Island Arsenal for feld artillery production for the year ending June 30 1913. The bill 600 000 for small arms would be reduced by 100 000 shifting work to Springfield. This would cut Rock Island staff by about 200 and risk higher costs if work stops.

Hogs Prove Profitable In Wyoming Ranching
It is shown hogs can be profitably raised in Wyoming where irrigation supports alfalfa. Governor Carey has long raised hogs on his Careyhurat ranch at profit. Pigs thrive on alfalfa with minimal grain for market readiness. Ex governor Brooks sold five hogs in Casper for 152 dollars. A Greybull consignment to South Omaha drew strong interest, proving northern Wyoming can produce advantageous hogs. The shipment, fair breeding, compared well with Nebraska and Iowa corn-fed stock though some bolster was noted.
