on southeastern farms, eliminating
the necessity for shipping to far dis
tant markets with transportation
costs oftentimes exceeding the selling
price of the shipment.
There is no case on record where q
farmer shipped hogs to market and
to have a considerable sum left after
paying the freight. c
The brood sow is the most proli-
tic of farm animals. She will enrich
any farmer who will give her
chance.
A good dairy cow will produce all
OF the milk, cream, butter, and cheese
consumed by the farmers family and
if she is an exceptionally good cow
she will produce considerable sur
plus to sell for cash.
One good cow or about five good
brood sows will produce sufficient
manure fertilizers in year to pro-
perly fertilize the average acre of
land.
1t isn't necessary to buy fertility
for the farm that carries it's full
quota of dairy cows and hogs.
Some points for the Banker to con-
slider, are:
The development of any section of
the Southeast with hog sand dairy
cattle means more steady volume of
bank deposits because the farmer who
has hogs and dairy cattle on his farm
has something to sell everyday of the.
year instead of only at certain sea-
sons as is the case with the truck
farmer, fruit grower, and cotton
planter.
In fruit, truck and cotton growing
sections of the Southeast the bankers
are often called upon to carry the
farmers from the time they put in.
their crops until after harvest. During
this same period merchants in the
town are also obliged to carry the
farmers on their books, selling them
chants are accordingly obliged to look
to the bankers to carry them also and
this makes a considerable burden up-
on the bankers. If the fruit, truck
and cotton growers Of the Southeast
had few brood sows an da few
dairy cows along with flock of poul-
try they would never be obliged to
ask their merchants to give them
credit during the crop growing season
and their loan at the bank would be
considerably reduced also, thus per-
mitting tho bank to adopt a more
liberal policy in loaning money for
building and other improvements, in
yesting more heavily, in local public
Improvement bonds, etc., and elimin-
ate their bills payable accounts.
No swine grower in the Southeast
ever shipped a load Of hogs to mar
knt and failed to receive enough for
them to pay the freight plus a very
satisfactory cash surplus. This state
ment should appeal very strongly to
in - Ill r
OF hog raising on every farm in your
territory. 5.J
Southeastern bankers should rem
ember that there is no case on record
where the large hog markets of the
country have ever been glutted.
The boil weevil does no harm to
livestock and poultry.
Shipments of hogs to marke do not
freeze in winter nor do they perish
from heat in summer.
Hog markets are available to the
farmer six days out q week. They
pay cash and they are located at con-
yenient points throughout the South
est, making long shipments with cor
responding high transportation
charges unnecessary, such as is the
case with fruit and vegetables.
Hogs multiply faster than any
other farm animal and therefore en-
rich the farmer within a reasonably
short time.
In the hog raising industry produc-
ton, demand and markets are stabil-
lied, which means that the intelligent
farmer can always count on profit
from his hogs, which will enable him
to pay his notes at the bank, meet his
bills with the town merchant and gen
orally carry cash balance with his
banker
There is no case on record where
Southeastern dairy farmers have
brought milk to town and poured it
out on the ground because there was
no demand for it, as has been the
case with watermelons, cabbage, and
other citrus fruits.
Bankers should knew that South
eastern soils for the most part are
light and that the fertilizers produced
by livestock is the best kind to build
them up to where they will give good
yields.
The dairy COW will feed the family
and fertilize the farm. She is called
"the foster mother of the world" and
no more beftting title could be be-
slowed upon her. Without milk chill
dren languish, adults decline, the
vitality of the human race runs low.
