PRIZES this YEAR FOR
common BREED HOES

Officials OF the Delaware Fair AS
ISOLATION have decided to offer un-
usually attractive premiums at this
years fair, September TO 7 for pure
bred hogs of the common breeds
This action is taken because OF the
great demand for pork for our own
and the nations Allies. On a farm,
properly managed. pork can be pro-
duced without the use OF much grain
which is so badly needed for other
forms Of foods. hence it is expected.
that with additional premiums as an
incentive. farmers in this state will
make extra efforts 10 increase their
pork production.
Plans for the food training camp
in connection with this years fair
are progressing rapidly and indica-
cations are that it will prove a big
success.
