Geor-i j-j - gia farmers, it appears, have awakened to the possibilities of pork raising. They have learned, from ? the federal agents, how to combat g - the cholera disease and it no longer rp 9 has any terrors for them. They -.have learned how to fatten hogs ati ^ i the least expense with peanuts, j q r chufas and other crops. They have f co-operative marketing associations. 1 and local packing and cold storage plants. | e South Carolina farmers have been . backward in this respect, as a rule, i. There has been some awakening as a to the possibilities of hog raising. S t hut for the most part pork has been s raised for local consumption, t 'But we think it will not be long r uniii tsoutn i;aroiina rarmem will be: g| s shipping pork products outside the a i. state. With the success that so ^ o many farmers have attained locally. ! the Industry Is bound to grow.
