PLAN A ROTATION
OF CROPS FOR HOGS

The best possible means of increas-
ing the meat supply would be to in
crease the number of hogs on every
fam. For the average small farmer
hogs and poultry offer the most. effec-
tive means of increasing the meat out
put at any time in the near future.
In planning for increased hog pro
duction, it should not be forgotten
that in order to do this profitably
there must be ample food supply to
keep them in good condition. It has
been found by frequent demonstra-
tons that the cheapest way to produce
pork is by furnishing rotation OF
good pasture crops.

that women were playing since the
war would hasten the consideration
