PLAINS HOGS
TOP MARKET
Randall County Breeder Scoops
In One Thousand and One
Do lars

The Randall County News says.
]. T, Holland, living In this city,
returned Monday from Fort Worth
and Dallas, Holland had on the
market at Fort Worth on Tuesday
OF last week a car load OF hogs which
he raised In this country and which
he sold there az the top price OF 6k
cents per pound, There were sew
enty-seyen hogs In the car and they
average eos pounds, all being young,
which at the price brought S1001.
In reply to question from the
News reporter Holland stated that
he had not fed these hogs at all, but
that he had n field which was fenced
hog proof and that he just planted
kaffir corn without brealalng the
land, plowed the stuff twice with a
cultlyator and when he got ready to
feed he turned the hogs in on It,
He figures that this was the easiest
way to feed the animals, especially
when he had so much other farm
stuff to gather
These hogs were all young stock
and. counting out for his attention
to them and for the feed that was
in the field, Holland considers at
least half the sale price was profit.
Holland has been a'resident of the
plains for many years and this is not
his first experience with hogs. He
has great confidence in this country
both as a farming proposition and
as a good stock raising land. Hol-
land, since he moved to this country.
has never failed to raise a crop of
Indian corn that would be a credit
to any northern or eastern state and
has never been out Of corn that he
raised on this place.

Dr.. ]. P. Wood-In view of the
fact that have been enthusiastic
over the possibilities Of this section

at a loss for words to express my
appreciation Of the achievements of
the Panhandle before the spectators
at the Texas State fair. 1t is true
greatness rightly demonstrated.
A. Laird--There is no telling the
worth Of this victory to the PAN
handle, This is not hot air" but the

results are gratifying.
d. p. Seay-I am convinced that
this is the greatest stroke of adver-
Using ever perpetrated in behalf of
the Panhandle, and will be far reach

NJ. G. Nobles-This victory will
be OF great and lasting benefit to
the Panhandle country, 1t Is sub

Ford Brandenburg-The most eff
fective advertising the Panhandle has
ever had. This victory attracts the
attention Of all, and more especially
that Of the other sections of Texas.
Nothing in the line of advertising
has so much worth.
r. B. Newcome-That the Pan

noon, Oct. 30. At intermediate points
the train will stop for passengers to
