however, are proportionately high. No
particular breed, or mixed breed is nee.
essary. Nor is it necessary for an en-
tire car to be all Of one grade in order
to make shipments to these big markets.
Car lots are necessary, however, and It
takes from 100 to $50 hogs to fill car. y
This il taken from recent statement
Of J. F. Mckay, marketing specialist of
the Mississippi A. & NJ. College, who
points out that cooperative marketing
Of hogs has already proved successful
among the farmers of Mississippi. Mr.
Mckay is making the following propo
sition to farmers who have hogs to sell:
"Where a community Of farmers have
a. many as q car Of hogs that can be
kept growing and will agree to feed for
shipment for some stated time late in
summer or fall, we will furnish details
on preparation, assembling, and ship
ping, and will aid in starting the first
sbinmests. We will also meet with
farmers in such communities, and assist
them in getting together the farmers as
far as our time viii permit and where
local Leadership can be had.
"We can not expect these prices to
last, but the markets promise to be good
for some time to come as hog products
are high and in demand
