RURAL SCHOOL CHILDREN
MADE HAPPY SATURDAY


Nine boys and girls are the happy
owners of fine Hampshire pigs, pre-
scented them by the Leader Enterprise
Saturday. The pigs were the first re-
turns from similar distribution of
Hampshires last May, when we gave
six boys in the rural schools six fine
pigs to start out in pig club work.
We expected to have twelve pigs
to distribute but three will have to
wait until later in the summer.
Another year will put us in shape
to distribute about twenty-four and
some day we hope to get enough pigs
to distribute one to every country boy
and girl in the county. That's all
we're in the hog business for and we
hope to have the pleasure of giving
them away by the hundreds some
year.
