HOGS GET GOOD RETURNS FOR SUMTER COUNTY CORN. “Half of Sumter County would be ievoted profitably to growing corn at a dollar a bushel,” says 7. M.’ Eleazer, demonstration agent for that county. He declares that most Sumter County farmers who have sold corn in the form of hogs have netted a dollar or better a bushel for it even tnis year. Four Sumter County farmers who kept detailed records on hog raising last winter found that ^reduction costs ranged from 1.37 to 6.09 cents l a pound and that ^hey got from 7.16 to 7.23 cents a pound for hogs •jSold last March. The returns thus : received for corn ranged from 94.6 cents to $1.28 a bushel. “BETTER FARM OUTLOOK” SEEN BY BIG MAGAZINE.
