40 Head OF SoWs, Gifts and boarS.
On the above date I Will sell 40
head Of bred herd sows and gifts, also
four yearling boars and fall boar
pigs. This offering consists OF the
cream Of big type breeding. Most Of
the offering are bred to Long Halvor
one Of the very biggest Poland China
boars in service. This boar Is half
brother to the dam Of the 25,200
Evolution and he is also a half broth
er to the dam Of Fred Sewers Big
Bob. AS an individual this immense
boar stands in q class by himself.
Lots Of farmers and breeders. like
myself, have been wondering how
long the present prices on pure bred
stock would remain near the present
level. I have kept in touch with the
best posted breeders, auctioneers, and
fieldmen and they one and all say
when you can 80 out and buy sack
Of flour for 81 then you are going
to see cheaper pure bred stock and
not before. The price Of pure bred
stock. like the price Of Iowa land. has
gotten established the same as the
high priced Iowa farm land. and
when It moves It will be ahead and
not back. Some other people are
afraid that II they start a pure bred
herd the business will soon be over
done. Now friends, did you ever stop
to consider Just how many pure bred
breeders Of horses. cattle, hogs and
sheep there are in iowa at present?
Just $4,000, and Iowa is the biggest
hog producins~state in the U. S. This
figures out about .019e. do you think
there Is any danger at present Of an
over-production Of pure bred stock
for some time to conner Last fall
when the bottom dropped out OF the
hog market and farmers had been
told so many different things about
how their fats were Just as essential
in putting down the past great war.
and how all Of Europe would be
clamorlng for their pork Just as soon
as the war Was over, and without
waiting for conditions at home and
abroad to adjust themselves. and the
market looking bum. then tho farmer,
just like anyone else would have
done. simply laid down on the pork
question. believe in the long run 1t
will be the best thing that could have
I, like lots OF Big Type
Breeders as well as Duroc and Chest :,
er White breeders, was forced to
castrate the greatest percent Of our
last years boar crop that We
ever had to do. What VIII tho re-
suits be? Simply this when you
shorten any industry from the start
ing point, and in q case of this kind.
it never increases as II goes on. It is
predicted by competent men that we
will see higher priced pork this sea-
son than we did last year. Do not
forget that good brood SOW will
prove a valuable asset to any farm.
