1t seems 10 us that the farmers of
Highland county are quite slow in
recognizing the Importance OF the
recent hog sale which took place on
the RidgewaY farm. Just to think,
the worlds record beat and that by
Highland county farmer with High
land county farmer as purchaser, and
he in the face of opposition from
buyers from Indiana, Illinois and other
places noted for industry in the pro-
duction of high bred and high priced
stock. Wake up farmers Boom your
county; write it up; let 1t be known
both far and wide that we lead in the
sale and purchase of fine hogs at
living prices Bring on another hog.
What do hear? Who will start this
one at $4,000
