South Carolina and Iowa, South Caro-
lima is q more productive state. We
produce Gotten. Iowa produces hogs.
And South Carolina is one of the
poorest States in the Union, while
Iowa is the richest. They wear our
cotton but we eat their meat. They
have got to wear our cotton but we
can eat our own meat and raise it
cheaper than they do.
But to raise hogs economically you
have to get the right seed stuff. You
are obliged to get improved stock to
compete. You can't feed bantoms and
expect them to weigh like the Ten
nessee Rocks. You can't feed a pine
rooter and expect it to weigh as a
purebrrcd. Some say the smaller the
hog; the sweeter. the meat. Adams
early sugar corn is sweater than our
regular field corn but we don't get
much of it. But this is not true with
the hogs. There are several breeds
any of which will furnish meat sweet
enough for Clarendon. The hog that
weighs is the hog that pays. You are
paying taxes each year to help Glenn
son College put pure bred live stock
on every farm. Why not help raise
this hog SO this tax will stop. AS
soon as every farmer carries pedi-
gree 1or every sow the work will be
accomplished. Share in the profit,
Buy your son pure bred sow and
you are beginning to make a farm
er out of him. A man then will be a
help to his country and producer.
lie will teach you to live at home and
nome VIII be more attractive to him.
lie won't be trying to leave to work
IN some auto shop, but will take more
interest in home and will come nearer
raising that old mortgage with the old
red sow than with cotton. Give him
a bale or two Of that cotton to put in
hogs then you will be getting your
price. Give him SOW for Christmas
present, he will furnish the ham for
next Christmas. Share crop hogs
with him, think with him, and make
progressive farmer out of him. If
you have succeeded with cotton owe
nothing, and the wecvil is not going
to bother you, why get him to follow
you. But if you have not follow him.
The coming South Carolina farmer is
going to get rich on raising what YOU
have always bought-meat.
We began the hog business here at
Manning for we saw that this was
the coming market for pure bred
stock. We arc going to put on our
second sow sale December 28th at 1
o'clock. We would like to have every
farmer in the county at our ring side.
We do not expect our sows TO bring
inflated values but sell wherever one
will carry 100 per cent profit on her
back to your home. We want Claren-
don farmers to take hold of this sale
and keep every sow at home. You
need them more than the other parts
OF the country. We are selling 40
head, about Is tried sows and 20 fall
yearlngs some weighing around 500
pounds at year old and few spring
sows. Make arrangements to be
with us, and we will try to make the
day profitable one to you. Eventual
ly, every progressive farmer in Clar
endon County will own one or more
pure bred SOW. Don't follow the pro-
ccssion, attend our December 28th
sale, and fall in the front ranks This
is our line of business and we want
to sell these sows, still aside from
that, take our judgment on a pure
bred SOW and the profit, if you care
tor her, IS sure to cover.
Yours for an independent Claren-
don-and hogs will do it.
