ON THE MEADOW FARM
Hog Raising and Growing of Feed
Crops Receiving Attention

On the Meadow farm south OF
town, which is in charge of ID. j,
Meadows, a plan is being carried
out that seems practicable and
should prove profitable.
The planting of crops for ship,
ping is made of secondary inn
portance, attention being giver
chiefly to growing feed stuffs for
hogs.
A herd of fine hogs is already
running in the pasture and then
number will be increased as rap.
idly as seems wise. The raising
of hogs is to be made a matter OF
first Importance on this farm.
Sweet potatoes, melons, dasheens,
chufas and other crops that are
good for hogs, are now being pro
duced. The acreage in these will
be increased as the herd of hogs
grows.
The dasheens growing ON this
farm are the first to be seen here
in quantity and they are doing
fine. This may lead to others be-
ing planted and it's becoming one
of the important crops of this To-
cality.
Another thing that is contem-
plated by Mr.. Meadow and Mr..
Meadows is the setting of a con-
siderable acreage in peach trees.
Their idea is to use trees budded
on plum stock, which is consider
ed best, setting a small acreage
now and similar acreages at in
tervals of few years, replacing
the first with new trees after the
old become nonprOductive, and
thus keeping the orchard up to a
profitable condition and making
it a permanent adjunct to the
farm.
The plan is one that will no
doubt enlist the attention of 9TH
ers and lead to more attention be-
ing given to hog raising and
fruit growing.

The Herald would like to have
each week from the pastors OF
the several churches of the city
announcements and short items
of interest about their work, pub
LEGATION of which will serve the
double purpose of giving the
news to our readers and will help
the good work. Such items should
be written out and handed In
early in the week, say by Monday
noon. We will gladly give space
to them, but The Herald cannot
take in any more territory. 1t is
strictly a local village newspa-
per, secular newspaper, and it
cannot spare space for religious
matters of statewide or national
interest. Such matters belong to
the sphere of the religious press,
not to that of the country week
lies.
