President Wilson is said to he rely

Grow Less of Cotton
And Raise More Pork

Grow less cotton. raise more pork:
an additional brood SOW for every
three-acre reduction in cotton acreage.
This Is suggested as Il new slogan for
Louisiana farmers by ]. b. Francioni,
agent In swine husbandry. Extension
Division at the State University. Baton
Rouge.
:" Pork is largely pasture PROPOSE
tfon." says Mr.. Francioni. and by pro-
vidins good pasturage pork can he pro-
duced cheaply. n reduction Of the cot
ton acreage will make more land avail
able for such crops as corn. velvet
beans. cowl,eas and sweet potatoes
all excellent, feeds for the production
Of cheap pork.
Pork production must not be allow
ed to lag. The hest authorities say
that present conditions indicate that
the raising Of hogs will he profitable
for the next year or two at least.
Farmers in the great corn belt have
increased their wheat acreage ut the
expense of corn. the result of which
will he. Of course. reduced produc-
ton of corn and consequent high
prices. This will mean good prices for
hogs, as the price Of pork follows very
closely the price of corn Then. too.
in anticipation If the reduced corn
production. farmers in the corn belt
have been selling their hogs to IL
greater extent than usual which will
mean fewer hogs next winter. All of
which makes the outlook bright for
good pork prices next winter and for
some time thereafter
