UNION COUNTY STANDS HIGH
AMONG PRODUCING SECTIONS

II is not out Of place at this time
TO look at swine growing. Some
thing has caused the farmer Of I'm
ion county TO investigate the hog
business. This may have come about
because of the efforts Of the county
agricultural agent. We are aware
that many people think the money
paid for such an agent is thrown
away, but prejudice may be turned
into approval when results come
about, showing the wisdom of pro-
viding the farmer with assistance in
his efforts to produce good stock
as we'll as profitable crops. If you
will stand on the streets of Clayton
you will see many truck loads Of fat
hogs coming in, and the several buy
ers are not slow to pix them up.
At present they are paying $3.50 to
$1,000 per cwt. If you will take the
pains to Investigate you win note
that they are all high-bred hogs
not an "elm peeler" among them,
and right here is where the county
agent shows best. He has helped
the farmer 10 get thoroughbred
hogs; and his effort did not stop
at the hog They reach out to cat
tie and chickens and other fowls.
No farm should be without fowls
they do not detract from attention
to the other stock, and are perhaps
the most profitable for the invest
ment made. II is not necessary that
the average farmer raise chickens.
But il may be a good thing to show
him the profit in swine. The hog
is not so generally raised and many
do not realize the profit of feeding
their grain TO them on the farm and
bringing the finished product TO
market. Right here we would urge
some experienced man to open a
packing plant in Clayton. 1t looks
like shortsightedness to ship Out
stock to Denver, Fort Worth and
Kansas City, and ship back the cur
ed meat, giving the railroads two
chances 10 rob the consumer.
1t may be of interest to some
readers of Union county TO learn
that Clayton is the best hog market
in New Mexico. Conditions change
Six years ago, when our present
railroad agent, Mr.. Farber, came e
Clayton, the Colorado & Southern
railroad billed out less than two car
loads Of hogs per year. Now Clay
