Scrubs Versus Purebreds

Does the purebred animal pay?
This is a question frequently pro-
pounded by farmers: In the opin-
ion Of many the added cost of the
purebred offsets the advantages
gained from it's purchase or main
tenance. This is a fact, however,
which cannot be substantiated in
view of the transformation which
is taking place in many Georgia
herds of swine as a result of the in
PRODUCTION and use of purebred SircS.
There is many a breeder who will
bear testimony to the fact that the
entire nature and character of his
herd has been changed in the course

has learned that the scrub no
longer pays, and that even starting
with foundation stock of the scrub
best character he can in a few
years, through the judicious use OF
progeny of such foundation STOCK
through the process of selection to
the point where they can grow in
general appearance, in outline and
other desirable qualities, to that of
their purebred sires;.

southern farmers through the use
of purebred sires is a definitely es-
tablished fact; Someone questions
has actually happened, not in one
instance but in thousands of IN
stances in the case of Georgia farm
ers, and we may be certain that
happening everywhere else through
out the south.
There was a certain citizen of this
state who did not think the purebred
continued to raise razor-back hogs.
When the price of hogs advanced he
desired to sell some of these ami
mails, SO he. selected eight of them
and shipped them to one of our
well-known packing. plants. They
teived for these animals $3.50. Like
a great many people, he concluded
hat he had been unfairly dealt with.
He completely overlooked the fact,
