Increased Interest In
Hogs Being Shown
Clemson, Oct. 16.—That there is
renewed interest ki hogs among
farmers is evident in reports from
many county farm agents. A good
corn crop and high prices for hogs
are stimulating this interest.
R. A. Jackson, Williamsburg
county agent, states that hog ship
ments are beginning to increase
with the advent of new corn. “We
are gratified over the results of
cur efforts to have farmers full-
feed hogs in order to profit by the
high fall market”, he says. “It is
gram. During September we ship
ped 425 hogs weighing 69 ;
per pound.”
“The Georgetown Livestock As
sociation started the marketin;
work by handling four cars of dem
stration-fed hogs in September’
says M. M. McCord, Georgetowi
county agent. “With a good corn
crop generally throughout 1
county many farmers who have
never before fed out hogs are
planning to utilize this crop by
feeding hogs which will return a
much better profit than they would
receive from com sales.”
From Jasper county J. P.
Graham, farm agent, reports that
225 hogs sold for 12 farmers
brought $3,175.31. Many of these
hogs were finished and brought the
tops of the market. More hogs are
now on feed in Jasper county than
for many years at the same sea
son, he states.
W. C. McCarley, Kershaw county
agent, says: “We shipped one car
of hogs Sept. 15 and another Oct.
6. Farmers who had top hogs re
ceived 13.10 cents per pound in Bal
timore. R. B. Elliott of Cassatt re
ceived $411.03 for 17 head. People
who are hogging down corn report
that they are pleased with the re
sults.”
in Marlboro county there is an was compared with the “Dus:

of the roads under construction

again began to look like the “Dust

things a little.
During the course of the week
we have had quite a few visitors
at F-ll, both Forest and Army
personnel. Among the visitors were
Mr. Ed Veinon and Mr. R. I. Purvis,
both from the Forest Supervisor’s
office in Columbia. The Army’s
