That the school students of the
county are doing their bit in increas-
ing the pork production Of the nation
through Pig Clubs is shown by the
fact that about 600 pigs will be raised
and fattened for the market from the
Valley clubs this year.
In the past the Pig Club members
have proved themselves to be better
producers Of pork than the farmers
themselves. In last years feeding
contest there were AZ members, each
feeding two pigs an average Of 102
days. The average selling price at
the end of the contest was 1887 cents
per pound. The average total cost
of pig up to selling time was $13.62,
ard the average sale price was S27.02,
leaving an average net profit per
pig Of $13.40, or $26.80 for both pigs.
The average daily gain per day was
l.467 pounds at an average cost Of
.0633 cents per pound.
These results show that the con-
