HOGS ARE MOST PROFITABLE
Pork Can Be Raised at Less Cost Than
Cotton-AnlmaIs viii Gather
Their Own Feed.

Hogs nre worth about ten cents
pound on the market-nlmost as much
ns cotton. You can raise twice as
many pounds of hogs per acre as you
cun OF cotton and at less cost. Take
the hog end of the proposition.
Plant peas, peanuts, clover, grasses,
chufns, sweet potatoes, sorghum and
the like for hogs. They will gather

NOT MUCH CHANCE FOR RAIN
Florida State Agent Advises Farmers
to Conserve Moisture by Guilt.
waiting the Crops.

c. X. McQuarrle, state agent for the
University Of Florida extension divi-
sion, advises farmers to save all the
rain that they can within the next few
months. Mr., McQuarrie thinks that
there Is not much chance for plenty OF
rain until the rainy season. At any
rate, ns long as the present drought
continues moisture conservatlo'. should
be prncticed.
Land should be cultivated after
every rain. This will break the crust
and prevent moisture from escaping.
II Is not enough to cultivate near the
plant rows and leave the mddles un-
broken. Moisture will soon find chan
nels through the unbroken surfuce.
The capillary force works horizontally
as well as vertically and can trans.
port water In any direction.
