copy of this letter.


/ note fom your letter head that
you are engaged in raising Hamp-
shire hogs which / always consider
ed one of the best type for general
purposes, although l am raising
thoroughbred Tamworths. The lat
ter, in my opinion, is an ideal pig
for the south. / have found that
they will make a living and keep in
fair condition on forage crops
where the lard hog would starve to
death. Of course, it is understood,
that i am not interested in any par
ticular breed, but am interested, as
an American citizen like yourself,
in increasing the hog production. 1t
makes very little difference about
the breed, even razor-backs will do
m the present crisis.
Mr.. f. NJ. Sackett, Federal Food
Administrator for Kentucky, who
owns one of the finest country
places in the state, is not only urg-
ing upon the people of the state to
raise pigs but is giving them an OBJ
ject lesson by raising pigs on his
own place and although very busy
man, Mr.. Sackett is giving all his
time to this work.
Most farmers are of the opinion
that hogs cannot be fattened with
out corn. When a limited amount of
corn is good and l am not arguing
against it, nevertheless pork is being
produced, l think, at a lower price,
by the use of other forage crops.
Wishing you much success and
assuring you that it will give me
pleasure to help you in any way |
can, / am
Yours truly,

RAISE A PIe

much good VIII result.
Louisville, KY, June 4, 1918.
Mr.. Hughes Atkinson,
Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.
Dear Sir:
l have and thank you for your
letter Of the 31st, ult., in regard to
"Raise a Hog" proposition and note
with a great deal of pleasure that
your services are at Uuncle Sans
call in any way to win the war.
In my humble opinion, the hog
question is one of the most import
ant when you consider that IS pei
cent Of our exportable surplus of
meat is hog products. Furthermore,
that hog products can be shipped
without refrigeration and can be
gotten to the front, which is not the
case with fresh beef. A pig can be
raised under II months, whereas it
takes three years to raise a steer.
Again, a pound of pork has more
sustenance than the same quantity
of beef. The question of feeding
hogs within the corporate limits of
cities, towns and villages will have
to be threshed out and the sooner
the better. AT this time the people
should not be too finicky in this res
pect. A pig properly raised is no
more Objectionable than a dog. One
is producer, a direct assistance to
winning the war, while the other is
parasite that serves no useful pur-
pose whatever. We are limiting our
industries to essentials. Why not
apply the same rule to domestic ec-
onomies? In this connection, desire
to say that should there be an or
dinance in effect in Mt. Sterling
prohibiting the raising of pigs with
in the corporate limits of the town
where same would not create a nui-
sance or be Objectionable to neigh
bors, please call my attention to the
matter and / will see if it cannot
be corrected through the proper au-
thorities.
We hope to form active organi-
cations in this and other states. In
the meantime, would like you in
your own way to "get busy" first
enlisting the services of your Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent, if you have
one, whose duty of course, is to
help you and do not think you will
have any trouble on this score, but
should any arise; do not fail to ad-
wise me.
Through the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, arrangement could be
made to have franked postal cards
sent out setting forth the scheme in
detail, on the order of the enclosed
"Raise a pig" proposition. This is
somewhat Of a job and | am putting
it up to you. / feel it is our duty
to do our utmost. All the postmast-
ers in the country being employees
of the government should lend their
assistance and | think they will. The
services of the postmasters through
out your section (don't limit your
self to your own country should
also be enlisted.
You could probably get your local
papers to take notice of the move
ment impressing upon the people
that they will not only be doing Il I
patriotic work in raising hogs but
at the same time realize a hand
some profit by so doing.
l would also suggest that you get
in touch with Mr.. Scott NJ. Evans,
United States Food Administration,
