The Poland China breeders of
Blount county met at the court house
Friday morning, loaded three cars
and made a trip to see how each
others hogs were getting along.
Ten of the breeders made the trip,
A few of the men were so busy that
they felt that they could not leave
off work to go. Mr.. VIM. A. Schoen-
field, Assistant Dirtctor of the Divi-
sion of Extension and Mr.. Chas.
Doughty, District Agent and County
Agent Abernathy made the trip also
to see the new pig crop. Practically
all of the sows have done well this
time. The pigs are doing fine. and
the breeders are feeding to make real
hogs of the youngsters. Of course,
every breeder felt proud of his litters
and he should, but the good thing
about it, was that each man seemed
to be almost as proud of the fact tt q
the other fellows good hogs as we'll
as he. That is the spirit that is going
to put Blount county on top.
Calves Bring Smiles
Tuesday, Mr.. Chambers, Club
Specialist from Washington, D. c.,
and Mr.. Harrington, Club Specialist
from the Division of Extension, and
Mr.. Madison, Representative for the
American Poland China Journal,
made trip with the County Agent to
visit some of the Calf Club calves and
to see a few of the good Poland
China rigs around Maryville. They
stretched their smiles into real grins
when they saw the black calves
wading grass and clover almost knee
deep. They think we have some
chance to get some prizes if we stick
to our jobs and get our calves of full
feed and keep them on good pastures
until show time.
