COUNTY AGENTS
AID HOG RAISER
Remarkable Growth of Business
in Cotton States as Well as
in Other Sections.
LARGE GAIN Seen IN 1918

Conservative Policy in Production
Until High Prices of Feed
Are Overcome.

There are 75587,OO0 hogs in the
United States, according to recent es
Inmates of the bureau of crop esti-
mates of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Of this number
34,776,000 are found in the six corn
belt states of Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska,
Missouri, Indiana and Ohio, while a.
1000 pOrkerS are in the 10 Southern
states and the remainder are distrib-
uted over the other 27 states OF the
Union. Under present conditions the
South ranks second only to the corn
belt as the leading pork producing sec
ton of the country. The remarkable
fact that the growth of the hog bust
ness in the cotton states, as well as in
many other sections of the country
where the development has been rapid
during the last five years, is that the
progress has been the direct result of
the untiring efforts of county agents
to popuariZe pork production.
Last year at least 2,435 counties had
the service Of an agricultural agent
and in every locality where condi-
tons were favorable for hog raising,
these agents devoted their efforts to
increasing the hog population to meet
the increased demand for meat and
fats brought about by the war.
County Agents Work.
An example of the county agents
work to increase pork production is
shown in II counties of southern
Alabama. Not a single carload of
hogs was shipped 80 market from
these counties during 1912-1913. This
was before the county agent got in his
work. During the year ending April
/, 1913, these II counties marketed
1882 carloads of hogs.
County agents in Mississippi have
been getting results in their work to
enlarge the swine industry. In 1914

Decisive Action on Proposal to Have
Special Force-Fear of New

Paris. Feb. 14.-Leon Bourgeois
proposition for an inter-allied military
force to enforce peace was defeated
at meeting of the Society of Nations.
The first subject considered or the
resumption of the sitting of the COM
mission on a society of nations con-
cerned an international military force.
President Wilson was not present at
the session, having to attend the SUI
preme war council. Lord Robert Cecil
acted as chairman during his absence.
The commission, according to an Of
fetal, communication, received the re-
port of the drafting committee, with
the result that several new articles
have been added to the original text,
and phrases changed with q view to
Qualification. More than q quarter or
the draft was approved in this final
form.
The text of the plan for~the society
as first drawn up by the peace con-
ference commission and altered in
some cases at the instance of Presl
dent Wilson was afterWard amended,
it developed, after representations by
Leon Bourgeois, the French authority
on the question, whose ideas are stat
ed to have been received by the al

In enc case the plan was amended
SO as to provide that the nations hav-
ing membership in the league should
pledge themselves to take up arms II
necessary for the maintenance of the
integrity of their respective territories.
In addition to this, it has developed;
the commission discarded the idea OF
virtually making the Society OF Ma

Saves Wheat With Hogs.

In a certain section of Montana,
nearly so acres of choice wheat were
beaten down by a hailstOrm just a
few weeks before harvest. 1t looked
like a total loss, but the county'agent
called a meeting of the farm bureau
and told the members that the wheat
could be saved if hogs could be Sc
cured to clean up the fields. The
county agent was then authorized to
so "hog hunting" and as q result he
secured $500 head which were put to
work salvaging the damaged wheat.
In many localities the limiting fac
tor in hog raising is easy access to
market. County agents are solving
this question by inducing farmers to
market hogs comparatively, thus great
ly reducing the expense to each farm
er. In Utah recently more than 100
farmers supplied Is carloads of hogs
from sections 35 to 90 miles from a
market shipping point The hogs were
brought in wagons and even autOmO-
biles to the shipping point and were
there handled under the supervision
of county agents. Similar work is be-
ing done by county agents or through
farmers organizations in many parts
Of the country.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1919-02-20

this state exported 1924 hogs while
in 1917 it sent 88,73O fat porkers to
the market, an increase Of 1924 per
cent An increase of cora production
was necessary to develop the hog sup
ply and the county agents have been
boosting this source of fattening feed.
In 1909 North Carolina raised 3D.
100000 bushels of corn, while in 1918
it harvested 64,365,O00 bushels, which
enabled the state to fatten 100000
hogs In Georgia approximately 49,
475,OOO bushels more corn were pro-
duced in 1918 than in 1909. Other
Southern states have made similar
records in increasing corn and pork

Agent Is Versatile Helper.

While working to increase pork
production, county agents have shown
how pork could be produced eco
nomically; how, by fighting disease,
particularly cholera, much loss could
be prevented; and how, by proper sell
ing, producers could dispose of their
animals to the best advantage.
County agents in Pennsylvania,
working through farm bureaus, have
conducted numerous demonstrations
in the feeding of hogs, in which they
showed methods worked out by expert
ments for making cheap gains. These
demonstrations taught many hog
raisers how to save at least One-half
of the grain feed bill in raising hogs
by providing green feed throughout
the growing season.

TOURING COUNTRY ID LEARN SENTIMENT 0V ! LEAGUE IF NATIONS

There are number of objects of this trip over the country" said Ho- mer c. Cummings, chairman of the democratic national committee, yester- day at the Hotel Adams, where he is stopping with a party from the na.- tional capital.
 Those are to get together with the party leaders and officials in each state, to bring them into closer touch with the national organization. To advocate throughout the country the principles of the democratic party, the principles and the party that has ac- complished so much for the country
 We are telling of the wonderful achievements of the party and of the administration in dealing with the biggest problems of all time-problems so huge that officials of previous ad- ministrations have 1fo adequate con- ception of them
 We are sounding out the sentiment of the entire country on a number oi questions of national and world wide importance, for instance, the league oi nations.

community service to bring any of their relief work before the public. However, in view of the article pub lished in yesterdays Republican re- garding Lieut.. Monte Williams, these organizations feel that a correct state ment of the case is due, not only to them, but to the public which gives them their financial and moral support. There is the closest cooperation be- tween the service section, Red Cross, the great war veterans and the war camp community service and it is their aim to render every assistance possible to service men and their families.
 Lieutenant Williams has become well known in Phoenix through his work in the fifth Liberty loan campaign and his war service record has been published in our columns. He was desperately wounded in France and came to Phoe- nix for the benefit of his health. Soon after his arrival the above mentioned organizations became interested in his case and arranged for his wife and child to come to Phoenix.
 The effort made by Lieutenant Will Hams during the Liberty loan campaign proved too much for his resistance and he was confined to his bed, during which time a Red Cross nurse called regularly and rendered every assistance possible. Later the attending physician | advised hospital treatment and Lieu tenant Williams was taken to St Jo- seph's, where the Red Cross is respon- sible for his care Likewise, the family 1 is being cared for by the three welfare organizations.
 i Having investigated the case, We be- 1 lieve that it is receiving all necessary attention.
