AGRICULTURAL COLUMN,
Conducted by
S. v. BURKS, Demonstration Agent.

The farmers of Rankin County
are combining their efforts and
forces to help each other in CO.

other lines. Wednesday a carload
of hogs belonging to eight repre-
sentative farmers and expert hog
growers was shipped from Bran
don. T. M. Patterson, Uncle
Sans market specialist. stated
that the majority of these hogs
were as good as he ever saw
leave Mississippi. The shippers
of this car, Henery Busick, jim
McRae, Dick McRae, P. McRae,
C. w. Cox, Tom Berry, Tom Bak-
er and w. S. Crook, have laid
the corner stone to a system of
marketing that will bring the
whole value of an article to
the producer when. sold.
At an early date there will be
published in this column an arti-
Gle on hog raising in Rankin
County.

those who have land which they

short time. 1t is a physical i'm
possibility for me to terrace
