 There is possibly no greater handi- cap that the Big Bone Poland China lhog has to overcome than the charge that she is non- prolific. But, it is a Igreat misnomer, and it is very grati- flying, however, that it is only mere charge and not fact
 It is only cry from the dark ages of Poland China history when the in breeding which produced the medium chunky, quick-fattening hot bloods falmost brought disaster to the Polnad IChina Breed Yes, my friends those days have passed and with them the short blocky SOW.
 And by hard struggle of the mast CT minds they have now in the place of the short blocky SOW, the long, high |backed, deep bodied broody matron that farrows large filters and able to take good care of them. It is a very common thing now days to hear of large filters of pigs. I read in one of my farm papers this week where MT. Joseph Deleye, of Emmett, Kansas, has a Big Bone Poland China SOW that brought him 76 pigs in five filters. In l one of these filters she had 20 pigs. l Who said the Big Bone Poland China sows were not prolific?
 Wo r,,uct croato 1oool ;ptoroct i, o,,,, hogs. There may be one or two men in the United States who can success fully conduct the pure bred hog busi- ness without local support, who do not find it necessary to create local inter est, that is about all there are, how ever, who can declare themselves in- 'dependent of their own community.
 Almost every mothers son in the hog business will find it to his inter- est to interest his locality in his herd.
 Now is the time to join the associa- tion and get in the pure bred hog bus mess and stay with it and you will come out winner.
 Now to get ourselves before the buying public we must organize and get busy unitedly, comparatively and if our association when permanently organized, is properly officerized by men who have modern ideas of organi- make Little River county one of the leading counties in the state, but, we must have president who has pep and executive ability, and above all We must have a secretary-treasurer who is hustling man who takes a great interest in the Poland China hog business.
 Talk about factories in Little Riv- CT county, where can you find better factory than a registered Poland Chi ma hog?
 If someone would bring little piece of machinery here and demonstrate to you that you can shovel the waste products on your farm into it and it would turn out large juicy, steak, ham and eggs, breakfast bacon, etc., you would buy it if within reach of your pocket book, or you would be sure to take share in the enterprise. | Now this registered Poland China hog will do even more than that, you won't have to shovel those waste pro- ducts, they will hunt them and do their own shoveling. They will grind out other factories that in time will turn out others, yet you would say without pablo of doing even less would revolu- 1 tionize the world. Will some one punch that persistent cotton farmer and tell him what he is doing for his |boys and girls?
 l Your persistence in growing cotton | will place a mortgage on every piece of property you own including your wife and children. Registered Poland Chinas will lift the mortgage. Cotton will deprive your children of the edu- cation that rightfully belongs to them, Iimpoverish their lives, their souls and their pocket-books, and wipe out their
 natural and constitutional rights of the free pursuits of happiness. 1 A properly cared for herd of Big
 Bone Poland Chinas will work for you
 "A hours a day, 365 days in the year,
 they will turn the waste products of
 the farm into money, and with our
 great opportunities of the long sea
 sons. We can soon make the hog busi-
 ness a winner.
 If the members of the Little River
 County Big Bone Poland China Asso- citation will get together enough regis tered hogs to supply the demand for breeding hogs, we can bring buyers here from every state in the Union, al so Old Mexico.
 The breeding of better and bigger Poland China hogs will make rapid strides during the next ten years, and
