SELL THE HOGS
BEFORE SLAUGHTERING

with the approach Of cold wether
many farmers will be tempted to sell
dressed pork, which is not advisable,
because the product becomes perish
able and the Trainer is then placed at
the mercy of the buyers" says M. M.
LaCroix, assistant boys club agent,
extension division, Louisiana State
University. In order to sell hogs as
dressed pork, first find a market for
them and fix the price before killing
them. When a local market can not
be found, it win pay the farmer to get
several of his enighbors to combine
with him in filling car and shipping
to stock market"
This plan is recommended, Mr.. La
Croix says, because many individual
farmers have failed to receive full
value for their pork. One striking
instance of this in Louisiana was in
1916 when farmers in some localities
were being paid s cents per pound for
dressed pork while hogs of similar
grade were selling on the stock mar
ket at from 9 to 9 IA cents per pond
live weight. In this case, he says, the
dressed pork should have sold for
about IL cents per pond to equal the
value of overweight prices.
