Remarkable Growth Of Business
in Cotton States as Well as
in Other Sections.
LARGE GAIN seen IN 1918
Department Of Agriculture Advises
Conservative Policy In Production
Until High Prices Of Feed
Are Overcome.

There are 1851, 900 hogs in the
United States. according to recent es-
tlmates of the bureau Of crop esti-
mates Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. OF this number
"a, 10000 are found In the SIX corn
belt states Of Iowa. Illinois. Nebraska,
Missouri. Indiana and Ohio, while "a
$4,000 porkers are In the Is Southern
states and the remainder are distrib-
uted over the other q states Of the
Union. Under present conditions the
South ranks second only to the corn
belt as the leading pork producing Sec
tion Of the country. The remarkable
fact that the growth Of the hog bust.
ness In the cotton states. as well us In
many other sections of the country
where the development has been rapid
during the last five years. Is that the
progress has been the direct result Of
the untirIng efforts Of county agents
to popularizo pork production.
Last year at least 2.435 counties had
the service OF an agricultural agent
and In every locality where condl-
tions were favorable for hog raising.
these agents devoted their efforts TO
Increasing the hog population to meet
the increased demand for meat and
fats brought about by the war.
County Agents. Work.
An example OF the county agents
work to increase pork production In
shown In II counties Of southern
Alabama. Not single carload Of
hogs was shipped to market from
these counties during l0l2-l0l3. This
was before the county agent got In his
work. During the year ending April
], 1913. these II counties marketed
1889 carloads Of hogs.
County agents In Mississippi have
been getting results In their work to
enlarge the swine industry. In 1914

Of Vienna bread and coffee. At noon
they each had q large dixie Of thick

one Of the ofiicers' barracks there was
a cook who had been chef In the larg.

All the prisoners were well clothed.
Once a week, socks, underwear, soap,

them. and every week the barracks

| this state exported 1924 hogs while
In 1917 1t sent SS,73O fat porkers to
the market. an increase Of 1,224 per
cent. An increase Of corn production
was necessary to develop the hog sup
ply and the county agents have been
boosting this source 0fsfattening feed.
In 1909 North Carolina raised 3.-
0OO. 600 bushels Of corn, while In 1918
1t harvested G4,385. 600 bushels, which
enabled the state to fatten 1888, 900
hogs. In Georgia approximately 29.-
475.OO0 bushels more corn were pro-
duced In 1918 than In 1909. Other
Southern states have made similar
records In increasing corn and pork
yields.
Agent 10 Versatile Helper.
While working to Increase pork
production, county agents have shown
how pork could be produced eco
nomicnlly; how. by fighting disease,
particularly cholera. much loss could
be prevented; and how. by proper SELL
ing. producers could dispose OF their
animals to the best advantage.
County agents in Pennsylvania,
working through farm bureaus. have
conducted numerous demonstrations
In the feeding Of hogs, in which they
showed methods worked out by expert
ments for making cheap gains. These
demonstrations taught many hog
ralsers how to save Mt least one-half
Of the grain feed bill In raising hogs
by providing green feed throughout
the growing season.
Saves Wheat With Hogs.
In q certain section Of Montana.
nearly 30 acres OF choice wheat were
beaten down by a hailstorm Just q
few weeks before harvest. It looked
like total loss, but the countysagent
called meeting of the farm bureau
and told the members that the wheat
could be saved II hogs could be Sc
cured to clean up the fields. The
county agent was then authorized to
20 "hog hunting and as result he
secured $500 head which were put to
work salvaging the damaged wheat.
In many localities the limiting fac
tor In hog raising Is easy access to
market. County agents are solving
this question by inducing farmers to
market hogs comparatively. thus great
ly reducing the expense to each farm
er In Utah recently more than 100
farmers supplied IS carloads of hogs
from sections rs to % miles from q
mnrket shipping point. The hogs were
brought In wagons and even automo-
biics to the shipping point and were
there handled under the supervision
OF county agents. Similar work In be-
Ing done by county agents or through
farmers organisations In many parts
Of the country.
