Pigs make pork from left-overs and
what might be wasted, when they are
handled properly. Learn TO make
pork for next winter through proper
feeding, etc.
A part OF the plan for Iron county
food production is to have enough
pigs grown in Iron county so that
every family may have at least one for
| family use next winter. Details OF
the plan for securing these pigs will
be made known later But in general,
they will be contracted for and deliy-
cred TO purchasers at cost, collections
to be made through your local organ
izations and banks.
Only limited number will be given
to any person or family. The num-
ber depends upon facilities for feeding
and handling. Every family keeping
COW can raise a pig. Members OF
boys and girls clubs can secure pigs
| by application to their local leaders
or the county agent. Pig clubs can
be formed in any school district by
complying with the regulations and
| instructions from the county agents
office. Instructions and suggestions
on handling pigs will be furnished TO
every one securing pigs in order that
they may get all help possible in pro-
ducing the maximum amount OF pork
by October /, 1918.
Blanks for making applications for
pigs may be had at the county agents
office. These must be in his hands not
later than March 30, 1918, so that
contracts for pigs can be closed and
car load shipments made up.
We want every man. woman and
child who has opportunity to Keep

or neighbor, TO place their order
