Modern Methods Are Aiding the Hog
Industry in the Salt River Valley
Recent Big Strides Made in The
Development Of Hog Industry Are
Shown at St. John S Mission Ranch

"One of the best feeds for growing
pigs" says Mr. Whitaker, is skim
milk. When balanced with a grair
ration of three pounds to one pounG
of skim milk it is an ideal feed. Skim
milk is also most economical. When
grain is worth l cent a pound, skim
milk will be worth 80 cents a
hundred. Care should be taken.
however. that the milk be clean and
from good cows. The best market
for skim milk is found in feeding it
to hogs
The mission ranch expects to sell
approximately rs per cent of it's hog
production for pork AS every bit Of
the stock is registered or eligible for
registration, the ranch will also help
TO supply the growing demand in the
Salt River valley for good breeding
stock. 1t is expected to bring into
the valley soon 10 or Is Of the best
brood sows obtainable so that boars
may be sold which are not related to
the Goodyear stock. The ranch ex-
poets soon to have 100 to zoo brood
sows.

Most Of the stock of the mission

is prolific, hardy and stands the heat

At the mission ranch the young
pigs Will be turned out of the farrow-
ing barn at from to 6 weeks and
will be weaned at 10 10 weeks. In
this way it is planned to raise two
litters every year.
Feeders will be run on grain pas
ture after the harvest and the grain
will be stored for feeding in the pens.
1t is the object of the management
TO make the industry self sustaining
There is no reason why this dis
trict should not become one OF the
greatest hog producing centers in the
country, according to Ray Whitaker.
who declares that the climate here is
ideal for the purpose, especially dur
ing the spring, autumn and winter
months. Another big advantage is
the fact that the growers can raise
their own feed, practically the year
around and raise it more cheaply
than it can be done elsewhere
In pursuance of the management's
plan of promoting the hog industry
in the Salt River valley. Ray Whit
taker is an ardent booster for the
boys pig clubs and would like 10 see
a statewide contest of these clubs run
on the lines on which the contests
have been staged in this valley.

Present Season Gives Promise Of
Fair Profit and with Production
Far Greater Than for Many Years

burlap saturated with any available
heavy oil thot will not evaporate too
readily. Patent hog oilers. according
to Mr.. Heard, are very convenient
though not particularly better than
the more simply constructed home
made devices.
The menace of hog cholera Nh.
Heard states. lis always more threat
ening in irrigated districts than else
where, therefore no hogs should be
allowed to have access to irrigatins
bitches nor should they be permitted
to drink irrigating water because
they may thereby spread cholera tc
an entire community and if clean
they may receive infection themselves
from other hogs which may have in
fected the water.
Isolate Sick Ones
Any hogs which get sick should be
isolated and carefully watched. I'm
less the grower is sure he can dia-
gnose the case himself, a qualified
veterinarian should be secured. If
cholera is found on a place, every hog
should be vaccinated with what is
known as the simultaneous treatment
which produces the disease in mild
form in healthy hogs and renders
them permanently immune.
IF hog cholera is in the neighbor-
hood and infection is likely, the single
treatment of vaccinating may be suf-
ficient. This produces but very little
reaction and immunizes the hogs for
a very few weeks. Any suspected
cholera should be Immediately re-
ported to the state veterinarian. the
county farm bureau or to the county

were obtained( a yield which is far
above the average.
In order to show the value of hegari
for hogs, a demonstrat ton on 20 head
under the supervision of representa-
tives from the University of Arizona
college of agriculture was conducted.
The animals weighed on an average
of 112 pounds each when they We're
bought as feeders and consisted of
10 pure bred Duroc Jersey and 10 Po
land Chinas, evenly divided as to sex.
1t required $50 pounds of ground
hegari to make 100 pounds Of pork.
The animals gained a little more than
a pound and a half a day. The cost
of production, figuring hegari at 500
a ton. barley at $50 and cottonseed
meal at $50. (these prices are now
much lower) was S1170 a hundred
pounds of pork. The hogs were sold
at that time for SIG a hundred, the
same price at which they were bought
as feeders.
AS a result of this feeding expert
meut. hog raisers may figure in ad-
vance the cost of producing pork,
basing their calculations on the cur
rent prices of feed. II has been
proven conclusively that the feeders
may be fattened at the rate of one
pound to a pound and a half per day
while being bought from 80 to 200
pounds in weight 1t has also been
demonstrated that four and one-half
pounds Of feed produces one pound
of pork.

1t has been demonstrated here in
hog raising that in this line of work,
Just as in others, it is essential that
every care and attention be given the
scientific and economic aspects Of
the industry. In past years insuffi-
cient attention has been paid TO the
securing of the very best types OF
breeding and TO a certain extent
feeding methods have been lax.
During the past year, farmers gen.
orally have been made to realize the
Importance of selecting only the best
breeds and great care is now being
taken in proper feeding and the OBJ
servance of sanitary rules.
Only Purebred Stock
when one considers the rapidity
with which hogs multiply" according
to II. C. Heard. Maricopa county farm
agent. there is no reason why farm
ers should raise other than purebred
stock. Whether this stock should be
registered depends on the nature Of
the business. but it at least should
carry pure blood lines.
Since the years Of breeding for
economical feeding have certainly not
been in vain Mr.. Heard says, ''the
most promising system of hog pro-
duction in the Salt River valley calls
for two litters a year. in the late
summer and spring. Whether the
youxg stock should be sold as feeders
or finished depends on circumstance,
but in neither event should they be
allowed TO become stunted."
This presupposes that pigs, as
soon as they care for it, should have
all OF a balanced grain ration they
want. provided in creeps where the
little pigs may have access but the
mature stock cannot get in.
Once a pig is stunted il is very
expensive m~tter to get him started
TO. CROWN again and he is never
Ffloiiy dsfactory thereafter. The

Of protein which may best come from

in form OF very leafy hay or meal.

lar%ly determines its desirability.

The great strides which have been
made in the development of the hog
raising industry in the Salt River
valley and the general tendency to-
ward the adoption of modern and
progressive methods are depicted at
the st. Johns mission ranch, north
of Alhambra, which is this year going
into this business on a large scale.
The hog department of the ranch is
in charge of Ray Whitaker, former
manager of the Goodyear herd.
The mission ranch now has about
200 hogs, mostly Durocs from the
Goodyear ranch, but work is now 60
ing forward in preparation for a
much larger herd. The first develop
ment program Of the ranch will be
completed in six months and from
that time on further improvements
and new buildings will be added as
the herd increases. Within the
space of six months the mission
ranch will be one of the largest, most
modern and complete in the valley.
I'VE believe that the Salt River
valley will increase it's hog produc-
tion steadily" declares Mr.. Whit
taker, "and together with the dairy
industry the hog raising industry is
The manager of the mission ranch
is an enthusiastic booster for the
hog industry in this district and is
intellectually supporting the move
ment to bring this business to large
proportions. The mission ranch,
operating along the most up-to- date
lines, is, in fact, one of the most
important leaders of the movement
and is putting into practice only
modern and scientific methods of hog
culture.
The manager Of the ranch's hog
department, Ray Whitaker, is one of
the best posted hog men in the val
ley. having worked for years at the
industry as we'll as taken a course at
the Oregon agricultural college. He
is thoroughly posted on the latest de-
velopments in the industry and is
putting into practice the proven re-
suits of years of study by authori-
ties all over the country.
The mission ranch is equipped with
thoroughly modern facilities for hog
raising The pens are large and
clean, with sanitary drinking foun-
tains, concrete wailows and open
shades. When the drinking fountains
are completed they win be covered
with a light shed and the wallows
will be constantly refreshed by run
ming water with drain pipes to care
for the overflow.
Portable sheds have been built to
provide shade for the hogs on pas
ture. a farrowing barn, equipped
with "a pens, is also TO be built, and
the sows win be kept there from
four to six weeks before being turned
onto pasture. Every modern device
is being installed for the contentment
of the pigs so that they viii be kept
in the best of health.
The mission ranch is being run on
plan which makes it practically
self sustaining. The hogs are raised
in conjunction with the operation OF
herd of dairy cattle, so that the
skim milk is utilized as food for the
pigs. The other feed is raised on the
ranch's own fields, 320 acres in ex-
tent. Hogs are fed alfalfa, milo
maize, bran and skim milk, prin-
cipally.

BINDING Or HEADING
VS.. COMBINING GRAIN

or necessity grain must stand 10
days or two weeks longer to combine
than to bind or head. 1t is this two
weeks period that holds the hazard
to the farmer from two angles. First.
from storm; second from loss OF time
on summer crops of milo maize and
higiera Grain left for combining
must be thoroughly ripened. and in
this stage the straw is cured out and
brittle.
Should a rain come during this pc
riod, the straw softens and buckles,
and particularly so when there is
wind with the rain as is usually the
C a @ with summer storms. The
softened straw buckles and the weight
Of the grain heads. together with the
wind, lays the crop flat where il con-
not be gathered The farmer who
combines Iooses the ten days or two
weeks period during which he could
have his summer crop growing and
avoid frost hazard that ruins SO much
grain in the early fall
Then there is the foul seeds and
grass that the screen system on the
combine will not handle, for the rea =
son that the screens are too short
and this foul stuff goes into the sack
with the grain and often makes it
necessary to screen the grain to keep
it from heating and also runs the
docllage up.

Individual floats and decorated au. tomobiles will feature the Fourth of July parade and pageant, in addition to the historical section of the pa geant. Prizes will be awarded the best historical floats and the best dec orated individual floats and autOmo- piles
 Several local organizations have al- ready announced their intention of preparing and entering floats in the pageant, each depicting some outstand ing event in American history. It was originally planned that all floats should deal with historical events from 1776 to the present. An excep- tion was made for one organization, but this organization declined to take part in the pageant.
