lie questions are well known to the
voters of the district. for 1 have been
constantly in touch with the people 10

Raise More Hogs.

There is great shortage of hogs.
This shortage is bound to continue for
sometime. Whether the war ends
within the next year or not. there is
most urgent necessity for an increase
in the production of hogs and hog
products, and prices will continue
high.
The United States Food Admins
tration has assured the producers that
hogs will not sell below minimum
of $3.50 basis of top hogs on the Chi
cago market
The South nee DIS thousands of bred
gifts. There is an abundance of we'll
feeding materialall over the Southland
that cannot be proftably marketed
except through feeding it to hogs.
We have an abnormally large corn
crop and much of it must be fed to
hogs.
Both patriotism and profit call the
farmer to do his duty. Let every far
mer add at least one brood SOW to his
drove. Breed and feed as efficiently
and intensively as possible. KeeE
your hogs free from lice and worms
which will insure health.
Be patriotic, and at the same time
make money. We must raise and fat
ten more hogs,
