MEAT ON MISSOURI FARMS

Replies made to the Missouri State
Board of Agriculture as to the amount
of meat consumed by the average farm
family show that 884 pounds of pork
are consumed annually. With SIS per-
sons as an average family, this is ap-
proximately 1873 pounds per person
hog to a man. In order to encour,
age a larger number of farmers to
make a sufficient supply of meat for
their own use, and possibly to have
some to sell, the Board of Agriculture
established the Missouri Farmers
Ham and Bacon Show. The fifth an
nual show, recently held, was most
successful. All sections of the State
were represented in the entries, and
the meat was of evry superior quail
ity. A representative of the United
States Department of Agriculture has
Just asked for detailed information
as to, how the Missouri show is con-
ducted Similar inquiries have come
from other States. Evidently, the
plan of the farmer Giving at home" is
proving popular.

cry effort to have the growth Of the

opment of this part Of the State,
