OF a bulletin just issued by tha
Missouri State Board Of Agricul-

B. Ellis writes as follows*
missouri is one of the. leading
states Of the Union in the pro-
dustion of hogs. According to
the report of the State Labor
Commissioner, there were ship.
ped from the state during the.
year 1908 S,s78,SeS head. 1t is
estimated that there were con-
sumed on the farms and locally,
during the year, 1000, 900, max
ing total OF more than 5000, ,000s
head produced in one year. Es-
timated upon the basis of values.
during the past few weeks. these,
hogs are worth, in the markets
approximately 70 millions of. dol.
lars. In addition to this amount.
there were on the farms probably
100000 head of hogs used for.
breeding purposes, valued at d.
conservative estimate, 9,millions,
OF dollars, making a total valua-
ton for the hogs produced in one.
year, including those on hand
for breeding purposes, $40, 600,

ports, are given, together with
tables showing the results of hog.

Among the potent factors in the
evolution of every pioneer state
have always been found these stur-

conditions and the necessaril,
slow development of new states
make it impossible to overcome
hard conditions within a few gen.
