HOG RAISING IN THE SOUTH
Many Southern Farmers Growing
More Animals and of Larger Type
Noticeable in Georgia.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
An important result of hog-cholera
control work which has resulted in a
steady decline of the disease, has
been the stimulus given the develop
ment of swine raising in the South.
With other activities of the depart
ment in this line, the assurance given
to Southern farmers that hogs can be
produced without fear of losses from
cholera has encouraged growing not
only larger numbers of animals but
also better types. This has been no.
ticeable particularly in Georgia. A
few years ago that state purchased
about 100000 pounds of pork more
than it produced annually. But eff
forts for the control of hog cholera
have gradually extended over the en-
tire state, with resulting confidence in
hog raising. BY 1918 Georgia was
producing pork enough to make ship
ments to outside points besides sup
plying a large number Of hogs to local
slaughtering establishments. Similar
progress has been made in Mississip-
pi, Alabama and Florida.

Meats in Stexage"

Every working day of the year
100000 pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs-and
only 10 per cent of this is exported.
These facts must be kept in mind
when considering the u. S. Bureau of
Markets report that on June 1919,
there were 1,348,OO0,O0O pounds of
meats in cold storage IF the meat in
storage was placed on the market it
would only be &c days supply.
This meat is not artifcially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meats in storage consist Of
65 per cent (approximate) hams, bacon, ETC.,
in process of curing 1t takes 80 to go
days in pickle or salt to complete the
process.
10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year.
6 per cent is lard. This is only four-6fths
of pound per capita, and much of it will
have to go to supply European needs.
1o per cent is frozen beef and lamb part of
which is owned by the Government and
intended chiefly for overseas ship
rnent. IF this all diverted to domes-
tic trade channels, it would be only
112 lbs. per capita-a days supply.

From this it will be seen that meats
In storage" represent merely un-
finished goods in process of curing and
the working supply necessary to assure
the consumer a steady flow of finished
product.
