MANY HOGS SOLD FOR
LESS Than Value
Feed Crops S.,c,..d Be Utilized For
Fall Pork misunderstanding
Stock !..l::;s Be Kept.

Farmers have been advised to plant
an abundance of feed crops; and the
only successful way to market such
crops is to use them for finishing oil
live stock. If the stock is sold before
the crops are produced, it defeats the
very purpose for which the crops
were planted. Since the prices for
hoge have gone SO high, buyers have
invaded many parts of Louisiana and
are purchasing all the hogs they can
get at prices aDproximating half the
value of butcher hogs on the market.
The prices paid have ranged from s
cents to or cents pound and
many of these hogs have been subse-
quently sold at from IA to Is cents.
A 60-pound pig at 8 cents brings
less than $500. The same pig if kept
on pasturage with just enough grain
to keep it in a thrifty and growing
condition should easily finish-on at
around 200 pounds next winter cr
spring. At the present prices it would
bring s25 to S35-the difference
amounting to an average Of say $2o
represents the farmers feed crops pre-
pared for the market by feeding it to
the growing pig. Now II he sells the
pig before he puts the feed into him
and then cannot sell the crop, it will
be a loss in every way.
1t is therefore thought desirable To
invite the attention of the farmers to
this question and to advise them not
to sell any light, young hogs that
should be kept and finished in the
fall or winter, and also to avoid sell
ing any brood sows that may be need
ed for increasing the number of hogs
on the farm. 1t is not economical to
sell hogs until they have reached a
satisfactory weight for the slaughter.

Off part Of the hog stock. the owner
should keep posted on the markets
and should probably insist on getting
for young hogs not less than two
thirds Of the top prices for finished
hogs, or. in other words. when the top
of the market is Is cents a pound,
hogs on the farm should not bring
less than 10 cents if they are at all
promising for the market in six TO
ten months hence.
1t should certainly be the aim Of
every farmer to keep enough hogs 10
