Sumter Sells Hogs For Over $100,000 Sumter, Jan. 16.—“We made two F. O. B. hog sales in December, moving eight carloads which car ried 685 hogs and brought $11,327.- 47 at Sumter, raising our total re turns from hogs to more than a hundred thousand dollars”, says J. M. Eleazer, county farm agent. Eleazer’s recounting of the his tory of commercial hog production in Sumter county and his state ment of prospects for the future carry real encouragement for other communities. He says: “Our aim when demonstration feeding started in 1928 was to try to get this project to grow into a million-pound and a hundred- thousand-dollar business in possi bly 10 years. This was the eighth year, and that goal has been ex ceeded for the first time—we have shipped 66 carloads and 16 truck- loads containing 6,016 hogs that weighed 1,149,104 pounds and net ted $105,845.57. “The prospect is for heavy sales on through 1937. We try to keep our farmers informed about the outlook. For a few years the out look had been poor, and we so ad vised our folks, and shipments shrunk. “For about a year now we have known that this fall and all of 1937 looked good from a hog stand point, and we have repeatedly stressed this to our hog growers. Close to 800 western feeder pigs were brought in to supplement our supply. These together with aug mented breedings for 1937 hogs will enable our folks to get some good money out of hogs in 1937.”
