Just that to sell. The statement at
the head Of this column Is copied from
a postcard sent to the bureau by a
farmer residing on the coast, who an.
nounced through the Bureau that he
had COW Of certain breed and de-
scription to sell at certain price.
His postcard Is but one of scores that
come all the time and it merely illus.
trates the effectiveness Of the selling

This week many new names have
appeared In the list of patrons of the
Bureau, indicating that even greater
extension Of the effective work that
has already been set in full swing.
Among the wants this week is one Of
particular interest to many who have
turned to live stock. 1t Is from
Virginia meat company which cures
native hams and bacons from hogs
raised In the South. The writer says:
I understand that there are q good
many hogs raised in your section and
would like to get in touch with some
Of the hog raisers. II you know any
OF them would be glad II you would
give me their names" In this connec-
ton also the Bureau has been advised
by one Of the best ham packing plants
at Richmond that in view Of the in.
crease Of hog production in the Caro-
linas that concern Is doubling its
plant. The company writes: "We
are very glad indeed that the farmers
are giving more attention to the rails
ing of live stock; in fact SO much in
terest has been displayed along this
line that we feel encouraged to in
crease our facilities here and are now
engaged in enlarging our plant SO that
we will be In position to take cattle,
sheep. and hogs throughout the year.
This new planty however. will not be
ready until about the first of October
and as we have discontinued killing
hogs until that date we will not be
able to handle any live stock before
that time. You can state, however, to
the farmers that If they will improve
their herds and raise hogs and cattle
equal to the Western animals they
will have no difficulty in marketing
them at prices equal to the Western
quotations"
The first Of these concerns referred
to above is In the markets now and
