FINAL SETTLEMENT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick. In The Court Of Probate. Notice is hereby given that Wy att. E Chamberlain, executor anc* Mrs. Sudie Sims, executrix of the estate of Louis N. Chamberlain, deceased, have this day made ap plication unto me for a final ac counting and discharge as such ex Wickard called on farmers to increase 1943 hog production 15 per cent over the record 1942 crop. This goal, if realized, would result in a pig crop, sp’ring and fall farrowings combined, of 121,- 000,000 head in 1943. “Farmers ifi South Carolina may xpand their heg production by sows and gilts next March and \pril,” Mr. DuRant suggests. “A part of this increase may also be obtained by carrying hogs to heavier weights before market- ng. “Farmers should also increase their grain crops, both winter grains and corn, to feed these hogs. Green forage crops such as oats or barley for winter grazing and soybeans or Pearl millet for summer grazing will save feed and help to make these grains go further in growing out good hogs.” FINAL SETTLEMENT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick.
