on ."rhe Test OF Democracy / want to
thank you for the liberal space so gem
erously devoted to giving publicity to the
lecture and your valuable and appre-
ciated work in helping to get out the
large audience which greeted DR.. Sping-
arm. Every one present. whether he
agreed with ali DR.. spingarn said. or not.
was impressed with his earnestness, his
sincerity and his courage in denouneing
giaring injustices. and his eloquent and
impassioned plea for fair play.
Being jealous OF Omaha's reputation
regret exceedingly that 30 few Of our
thoughtful and liberal-minded white clti-
zens were present. We had hoped to
have them there in large numbers; for
wherever Or. springarn has spoken
large per cent OF his audience has been
composed OF the best white citizens. upon
whose help and cooperation we must
rely In creating a more Just sentiment
and a better inter-raciaf understanding,
and the committee felt that Omaha would
not fan behind other cities In this regard
Full publicity was given by the press to
DR.. SpIngarn's visit and for this, on be-
half Of the committee, desire to thank
you. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS.

How Pig Clubs Originated =.

Mr.. Editor:
Since there is a movement on
foot TO revive the corn, pig, to-
mato and poultry clubs in this
county, and the board of supervi-
sors have donated $l75 for this
purpose, little fact in history
relative to the Pig Club would be
apropos, timely and, possibly, al
inspiration 20 those engaged III
this laudable effort.
In 1909 the first Pig Club in
the United States was organized
in this (Oktibbeha) county.
1t came about in this way: In
the early fall of 1909 Prof. Hugh
Critz came to me and stated that
although he had not decided Oh
any plan, but be thought that a
pig club would be attractive and
a great help to the school boys.
Since there was already a flourish.
ing CORE club in this county with
all enrollment of 200, | thought
that a pig club would be fitting
companion to the corn club; that
hog and hominy" would be a
fine motto for the youth Of the
county. We at once evolved a
plan and had the rules and regu.
lations published and proceeded
to enroll members and solicit
prizes.
The next fall, 1910, we had the
first EXHIBIT at the county fair.
and there meyer had been such a
display Of hogs, all registered, in
East Mississippi times. (Starkville, Miss.) 19??-1926, 1915-02-12

this county.
| We had no tronble in securing
names for the next contest.
had found, however, that it was an
aIduous task to 2nd prizes. tried
to enlist the aid and interest OF
the Department of Animal Hus-
bandry, Washington, but failed.
However, will state III passing,
that after | had made good''
with the movement and pig clubs
were being established all over
this and other states, the govern
ment arrogated to itself the honor
OF originating the movement, took
it under its protecting care and
regularly publish aud mail to the
members of these clubs valuable
bulletins on hog raising, and gov.
ernment demonstrators grow elo'
quent when discussing The subject.
1t was already permissible for
the supervisors to donate $50 AS
prizes for corn clubs, and when
the Legislature met i'll 1910 | pres
vailed on our efficient representa-.
tive, j. IL. Wellborn, to intro>
duce a bill authorizing the super,
visors to make donation for
encouraging pig clubs. The bill
under which the supervisors make
donations to pig clubs, tomato
clubs, ETC., is the result of this re,
quest to Mr.. Wellborn.
In the fall oil 1910 the Pig Club
boys had another exhibition of
hogs which far surpassed the
former one, and it was given up
by those who had attended fairs in
the middle west, that our display
was equal TO anything of the kind
they had seen in those hog grow.

In the meantime ] had been re.
=ceipiHg requests, from all sections,
for information as to our plans of
organizi lg and running this club,
and tie movement has continued
to grow and spread until it rivals,
in popularity and usefulness tie
older corn club movement.
| write this because other places
are claiming the honor of origi-
mating this important and success

OF hogs and .arousing an interest
among the boys in stock raising,
and believe in giving honor to
whom honor is due. Although
tina life of Oktibbeha's pig club
was only two full years, yet there
were more thoroughbred hogs im-
ported INTO this county during that
period than in any ten years pre.
