Terry Dill ?ml Ills IMg.
Now comes another South Carolina
boy, Terry Dill of Greenville coun?
ty, to teach a profitable lesson to his
elder agriculturists, by raising a pig
weighing 308 pounds at an expense of
3.8 cents per pound. Terry Dill and
his pig have won honors equal to
those attained by Jerry Moore a few
years ago. by his record of 228 1-2
bushels of corn from one acre of land,
winning, among other distinctions, a
niche in American Magazine's Hall
of Fame?"Interesting People." In?
deed, so far as regards Terry's
achievement, the South Carolina Com?
missioner of Agriculture tells me:
"This boy, to my mind has done even
more in the way of building for the
future than did Jerry Moore, for he
has demonstrated to the grown farm?
er that hog meat can be raised at
home for less than four cents per
pound, something I have been trying
to drill into their brains for the last
six or seven years."
Terry Is sixteen years old; when we
contemplate the dally quotations for
pork chops, ham, bacon, lard and
sausage, we may justly acclaim him
as a bucolic David slaying our fear?
some national Goliath?The High
Price of Living
Terry Dill's achievement was pos?
sible because of the splendid com?
munity spirt abounding in Greenville
county, where everybody became In?
terested in Idea of a Boys' Pig Club.
The leading daily paper in the county
offered a prise of $60 to the winner,
and a leading mercantile house paid
$60 for the winning pig. The Green?
ville Board of Trade was the umpire
in the proceedings, prlntng the rules
and list of prises for distribution
throughout the county. It became a
popular method of advertising for
merchants to join in offering special
prises?clothes, shoes, pocketknives,
safety razors, corn planters, and
many other^-eeniniodltles?for par?
ticular exceifoeo: in pig-raising, so
that nsasey every boy of the twenty
contestants with Terry had something
to hope for, if falling the capital
prise. The percentages for determin?
ing the winner embraced four points:
gain in weight, 60; cost of feeding, 30;
general condition of the pig, 10; and
neatness and completeness of the rec?
ord. 10. Any kind of pig might be
entered, not over sixty days old. and
the contest extended from April until
October. Every month a report was
filed with the Secretary of the Board
of Trade, stating gain in weight,
amount and kind of food given and
its cost. Grass pasturage was stand?
ardised at twenty-five cents a month,
cultivated pasturage at seventy-five
cents a month, corn at one dollar a
bushel, buttermilk at five cents a gal?
lon, end the values of wheat, meal,
rye, etc., were differentiated at a rate
uniform for all contestants. An agent
of the United States Fs**m Demonstra?
tion Service, and a professor of the
State agricultural college acted as
judges and advisers Finally the pig
was weighed by three disinterested
people, and under affidavit the figures
for the twsnty-one pig i were filed with
the Greenville Board of Trade.
The contest was very close. Terry's
was not the heaviest pig, and his av?
erage gain in weight was 14.56 pounds
a week, for the full term, against
17.86 pounds for the boy raisng the
heaviest. On this point Terry scored
44 points. But the heaviest pig cost
6.6 cents a pound, while Terry's with
a cost of 3.8 won the perfect scoro of
30 points. Another boy was too kind
altogether and spert 9.2 cents a
pound. Terry scored the perfect 10
points for the "general condition" of
his pig, so it would bo unfair to omit
the fact that, so far as he was con?
cerned, the pig was perfect in every?
thing. The neatness and complete?
ness of Terry's reports were only one
point short of the perfect ten. He won
with score of 93 points. The papers
hroughout the South proclaimed the
thought of the Greenville pig club as
an inspiration, and Terry Dill's victory
as the solution of the "problem of
home-grown hog and hominy."
Terry Dill's personal relations with
BE pig should not ;>ass unrecorded.
Recently a Harvard professor has de?
clared that every pig would be a gen?
tleman If he had a chance; but before
this erudite oraclo had proclaimed
this truth, Torry had proved it. H'j
gave his pig the chanc e, and he prov?
ed a marvel of personal cleanliness.
Terry built the pen, himself, south?
west of a large barn, sheltered from
the north v inds and in a position
where It could catch all the sunlight.
Evory day Terry carefully "manicur?
ed" him with a currycomb and a horse
brush, until, as Terry expresses It,
"ho was as fat and slick as a but?
ter-ball." He also made him a new
bed e;ich day. A few days before the
period of the contest was to end, Ter?
ry's pig caught cold and became
hoarse. In consternation Terry devis?
ed a remedy of keroseno and grease,
and sjsjsjfched out his throat, forcibly
holding hiin meantime. Purin? the
last month tho pig registered u gain
of ninety-one pounds! lie was so fat,
Terry records, that his eyes were clos?
ed, and he had to be pushed in the
direction It was desired he should g'?.
Terry Dill in a favorite correspond
ent of mine. He Is vitally interested
In the career of a farmer, and he
writes so alluringly of it that his ex?
ample rises to the dignity of a tempta?
tion. It seems as if his achievement
should be emulated in vicinities where
the abandoned farm crop is most
abundant, and where there arc no
county boards of trade to conceive the
idea of putting a little "pep" into
the life of the farmer boy. In certain
Eastern districts, for example, a coun?
ty pig club, with these variegated
stimuli, might once more make "hog
killin' time" the joyous precursor to
Thanksgving that it used to be a gen?
eration ago.?Stanley Johnson in the
American Magazine.
Pocalla News Notes.
A crowd of young folks enjoyed a
moonlight picnic Friday night with
music and dancing and wended their
way home about 11 o'clock. The
party was chaperoned by Mrs. Wolf.
Edgar Loyns went out to Pocalla
and tried to break David Cuttino's
record catching a seven pounder.
While he did nicely, he could not
break the previous record, but Co'l.
Price did. He caught an eight pound?
er.
On account of the extreme dry
weather not being able to get a stand
of tobacco, Mr. M. H. Beck has put
all of his tobacco land in cotton.
Cotton that was planted early is up
to a good stand and growing nicely.
But that planted late is having a hard
time to get up to a stand.
Where the farmers arc keeping the
ground well stirred around corn it is
looking well, but when the farmer
is setting down waiting for rain his
corn is suffering very much, so you
see it pays to keep the plow going.
Farmers have begun selling spring
chickens and buying cheap meat.
The dry weather has about ruined
the gardens in this section.
