His idea was to hold the hog show In con nection with tho proposed county fair. In tho event a county fair is not held, ho suggested the holding of a hog -show alone. Mr. Spearman's idea is to offer a capital prize of $100 for th?> opo exhibiting tho finest pair of Berkshire hogs and a series of smaller prizes for those winning oth er than tho first honor. Local parties, it was* stated, have already guaranteed the $100 for tho capital prize, and it 1b proposed to use tho S37.60 fund which Mr. Spear man has made up for the other prizes, Tho capital prizo has been guaran teed in order that those desiring to enter the contest may select their stock now and prepare for tho con test It was stated that there has been a wonderful increase in tho number ' of blooded hogs that are being raised in Anderson county now. Mr. Spear man himself has sold blooded stock to some 30 or 40 farmers in his sec tion of tho county who are now reg ular producers of lino hogs. ,lt was also slated that the hog farm of It. M.
