wilson.-With a crowd of visitors
estimated at between 700 and 1000
souls, with complete exhibit of dairy
products, meat and show cattle, the
sixth annual meeting of the North
Carolina Live Stock, Dairy and Poul-
trv Associations opened with an adj
dress of welcome from Mr.. r. w.
Freeman, district agent of the Agri-
cultural Extension Service. The
weather was very cold, with snow
lying around in all protected places,
but despite this fact Mr.. Dan T. Gray
chief of the Animal Industry Division,
goes on record as feeling unusually
good about the success of this meeting
because of the large first days attend
ance.
The first was swine day, featured by
addresses by Mr.. w. w. Shay, of Cru
so: Mr. F. P. Latham, Of Belhaven:
Mr.. A. M. -Swinnerton, Pinehurst, and
a sale of So pure-bred hogs. At the
beginning of the meeting Mr.. R. W.
Scott, Of Haw River, member OF the
State Board of Agriculture, responded
to Mr.. Freeman's address of welcome,
after which he took charge Of the
meeting. The whole morning was de-
voted to the addresses, in which the
predominant note was the use of swine
as a means Of quick, efficient pork
production to decrease the present
shortage of meat existing over the en-
tire world: Mr. Shay's address, "a
Hog as a Factor in Feeding the
World" was practically on this one
subject.
sHoIderness Elected.
Before the sale of pure-bred swine in
the afternoon, the Swine Breeders AS
ISOLATION elected at their business ses-
sion Mr.. G. A. Holderness, of Edge
combe county, president; Mr.. w. w.
Shay, of Haywood county, vice-presi-
dent, and Mr.. Dan T. Gray, Of the Elk
pertinent Station, secretary-treasurer.
Fifty-two pure-bred hogs were dispoS-
ed of adj the sale at prices far above
the average. Twenty-six of these came
from the famous Berkshire herd OF the
Pinehurst farms and rs were donated
to the association by different mem
bers for it's support, and their sale
Melted a total of $3.50, which will go to
the support of the Swine Breeders AS
ISOLATION.
Approximately twenty head Of pure
bred beef cattle consigned by the state
breeders were on hand for the sale
; Wednesday, January 2, and in addition
to this forty head of Aberdeen-Angus,
twenty head of Herefords and twenty
fine Shorthorns were also sold. The
exhibits are already in place In the
Watson and Center Brick Warehouses
. and are proving to be one of the most
, interesting phases Of the meeting. Inc
/ exhibit of cheese from thG mountains
of Western North Carolina Is OF un'
usual attraction and IS one OF the
most complete exhibits of it's kind that
!. has been made south Of the Mason
and Dixon line.

1t These were of as much interest t
d the town people as to the VISITING
farmers.
Before adjourning the business ses
sion in the afternoon, the members o
the Swine Breeders Association adop'
ut ed a resolution calling for an appoint
ID ment of a committee from its mem
at + bership to take up with the packer
rs the matter OF what, constitutes a Sol
I'd bodied or q hard bodied hog on tn
N market so that the farmer may knoN
~ what to expect in this matter. TN
or was due to the fact that buyers dl
ps criminate against hogs which com
ng from sections producing soft bodle
or hogs, regardless of the fact that man
We farmers are now hardening the boole
of their hogs before selling.
