The Junction City Union says
that what Kansas needs is more
hogs. Our farmers are selling too
much thirty-cent corn and forty
cent wheat and not enough five-cent
hogs. A bushel of corn will put 10
pounds of flesh on hog. That
means fifty cents worth of pork, if
the farmer has got the hog to start
with. Forty cents worth of wheat
will make sixty cents worth of pork.
These are not fictitious figures. In
deed, they put the estimate too low
as the experience of every careful
and competent hog raiser testifies.
