S4~~'OFSO DepArtment of Agri industries. Uri E. J. WATSO] A Weekly Bulk "My cow was sold." The aim and purpose of the State Bureau of Marketing is to sol pi'o. ducts of the farm direct to 'the con. sumer or final purchaser and to got for the individual who wants products of the farm exactly what he wants * from the.man or the woman who has Just that to sell. The statement at the head of this column is copied from a postcard sent to the bureau by a farmer residing on the coast, who an nounced through the Bureau that he had a cow of certain breed and do scription to sell at a certain price. His postcard is but one of scores that come all the time and it merely illus trates the effectiveness of the selling end. This week many new names have appeared in the list of patrons of the Bureau, indicating that even greater extension of the effective work that has already 'been set in full swing. Among the wants this week is one o4 particular interest to many who have turned to live stock. It is from a Virginia meat company which cures native hams and bacons from hogs raised in the South. The writer says: 'I understand that there are a good many hogs raised in your section and I would like to get in touch with some of the hog raisers. If you know any of them would be glad if you would give me their names." In this connec tion also the Bureau has been advised by one of the best ham packing plants at Richmond that in view of the in crease of hog production in the Caro linas that concern is doubling its plant. The company writes: "We are very glad indeed that the farmers are giving more attention to the rais Ing of live stock; in fact so much in terest has been displayed along this line that we feel encouraged to in crease our facilities here and are now engaged in enlarging our plant so that we will be in position to take cattle, aheep, and hogs throughout the year. This new. planthowever, will not be ready until about, the first of October and -as we have discbntinued killing hogs until that date we will pot be able'to handle any live stock .before that time. You can state, however, to the farmers that if they will improve their herds and raise hogs and cattle equal to the Western animals they will have no difficulty in marketing them at prices equal to the Western quotations." The first of these concerns referred to above is in the markets now and those having hogs to offer in suffIcient quantities for shipment upon commun 1enting with the Bureau will be 'furn ishied the necessary information.
