said NJ. c. MOBILES that We want
Mr. Butts to hold Off saying how

the country. These people have the
biggest idea OF any people in the

Butts visits around the Panhandle
for week or so he viii double the
estimated capacity Of his plant to
so 10 100 cattle per day and all the
hogs he could get in 500 miles.
There Is no question but that the
output OF even such a house as even
the Swift, Fort Worth plant could
be used in this territory was talk

butcher shops here tho other day and
he said he used three Carcasscs OF

some idea OF what II takes to supply

that's been counted worthless ever
since I've been in the country, just
because worthless people have been
on 1t. Well that fellow started out

about $50 fat hogs and he's got now

paid a lot of his debts and he's inn

now. And | never saw hogs do so
well at any place as they have there.
Next year when you get your pack
