Big Hog Money
For Small Farmers
Georgetown, May 10,?That hog
raisin* an a means of increasing the
farm income is profitable for the
small farmer as well tts the larger
size farms has been evidenced by the
results secured by T, K.' Mercer this
year, thinks M. M. McCord, county
fartti agent. Operating a one-muld, 1
farm* Mr. Mercer states that he has' <
sold from the corn and soybeans from
his farm during the fell and spring
season to date $?1<M>6 of pork. He
produced hifr pigs on the farm ' and
finished them off to the stage of
marketing, and in that way converted
the com and soybean grazing
from his one-mule farm into a
near sum of cash through his hogs.
'There are many small farmers,"
says Mr, McCJord, "who feel that hog
raising is for the two and four-horse
farmer, but they can gain a valuable
lesson from this instance which
can bo applied to any farm. While
livestock at the exclusion of all else
is not to be recommended except in
a few instance*, it is evident that
when more hogs are kept and sold
from more of our farms, better times
will have already begun for that individual
through increased income."
