PLAINS BOY WINS
FARMING OUTFIT
STONEWALL SHIRLEY GETS A
FORDSON TRACTOR AND I'M
PIGMENTS WORTH $1,000.

Stonewall Shirley, of Plains, Ga,
18-year-old pig club boy, was winner
at the state fair in Macon of the
Fordson tractor and complete set of
farming implements, valued at ST.
200. He was one of the happiest ex-
hibitors on the fair grounds. He en-
tered pure-bred Duroc-Jersey sow
and four pigs.
The winner is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. W. Shirley, of Plains. He has
been a member of the boys pig club
for four years, and when he learned
that a Fordson was being offered as
prize last March he entered the
contest.
He is one of the most successful
hog growers in this section, and in
addition to entering the sow and four
pigs had several other entries. He
exhibited his sow and pigs at the
Americas fair, where he sold the pigs
for 500 each. He declined to sell
the sow.
Given Sow by Neighbor.
Four years ago W. E. Brown,
farmer and neighbor of the Shirley
family, gave him Duroc-Jersey sow,
provided he joined the pig club. That
sow was the great-grandmother of
the four pigs and grandmother of
the sow which won the tractor.
In addition to winning the tractor
this Young breeder also won the
Junior championship in the Duroc-
Jersey class in the open ring against
all breeders.
