BY r. c. MORAN.

AMERICUS, Feb. 11.-The great
est hog sale in the history Of Georgia
and the South recently was held here
when nine carloads Of meat hogs were
sold in day to a single buyer. Only
No. rs were included in the ship
ment, the net weight of which was
161 sos pounds. George O. Marshall,
county farm demonstration agent, ar
ranged the sale, and checks aggregat-
ing $9,640.75 have just been mailed
participants by him.
The price per pound has not been
stated by Mr.. Marshall, but all who
participated in the sale express salts
faction with their returns. This has
given rise to the report here that buy
ers are paying a premium for Sum-
ter county higs. No wonder. What
other county in Georgia can produce
half a trainload Of hogs all OF them
grading No. l?
Farmers here are raising hogs as a
"money crop" in big way now. Sew
eral years ago they were plodding
along, bringing in few hogs now and
then on "sale day." but the business
now has reached massive proportions.
1t bids fair soon to be one OF the
largest agricultural industries of the
section.

ne carloads Of Dogs sold at one sale
Early and late Marshall has worked
among farmers who wanted to try
cattle and hogs as a money crop, but
wer little afraid. Always he has
held to the maxim that purebred cat
tie. and hogs are the only ones that
can be raised profitably. he hates the
sight of anything mongrel. AS a re-
suit, there are few, except purebred
and grade hogs in this county.
One seller who broughtsin SO head
to the recent sale, has only purebred
Durocs on his whole place, and he
sells these animals regularly as ''meat
hogs" 1t pays, it is said, because
they put on flesh more rapidly and at
less cost than others. Sumter farm
ers raise hogs now as a money crop.
Of course, there are the exclusive
fancy breeders, like C. c.. Hawkins,
who sell their herd increase each
year to Others for foundation herds
after taking numerous prizes at the
different fairs.
, But this article isn't written to tell
about breeders in the Hawkins class.
The purpose is tell of the benefits
already derived by the small farmer
who raises something besides cotton
for cash.
Weekly Sales.
There is. no selling season, for
Sumter county hog raisers. Hardly a
week passes with mo sale" registered
in Americas. Every day Marshall
has telegraphic market quotations on
his desk. Frequently, he has inquiries
from other sections for hogs for
breeding purposes. Always he seems
to have Just what the buyers are look
ing for.
Within. the past three months he
sold three carloads Of hogs to north
Georgia buyers for breeding purposes
and two cars Of feeders" Feeders
are young pigs sold by the breeders to
others to ''feed out" into grown hogs.
This indicates Sumter county farm
ers are producing more hogs than
they have feedstuffs for. It's a
healthy condition. Breeding condi-
tions here are more ideal that they
aer in the colder sections of North
Georgia, and if the industry is to in
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-02-24

The young hogs are already grazing
in the oat and wheat fields about
Americus, and before these grains
are ready for harvest-even before
their yield is actually affected, the
hogs will be turned into pea fields,
and later they will 90 into pastures
OF velvet beans and peanuts. Maybe
they are fed little corn all along,
but generally this grain is kept for
a finishing ration.
Corn puts hard, firm flesh on
hog, and corn fed hog brings a
shade better price than the others.
One farmer here, DR.. j. G.. Berry,
has gone into hog raising on an en-
tireB new plan. His is the most Iii
yesjfied farm in Georgia, perhaps,
with some crop TO be harvested each
month, but hogs furnish the princi-
pal revenue there, where cotton has
been altogether abandoned. The
system Of selling hogs here is wholly
cooperative, A farmer can sell a
single hog, dozen or hundred,
and get the same price as the man
who has carload to offer.
Confidence in Agent
Marshall looks after all this. He
is the "go-between" between the
farmers and the buyers representing
the big packing houses. Everybody
here trusts Marshall implicitly, and
everybody has faith in him. If he
tells farmer to "sell at this sale, "
the farmer comes to the pens with a
lot Of hogs. He knows that the time
to feed his hogs profitably is past,
and he puts them on the market.
When Marshall tells buyers
Were going to have fine lot Of
hogs at our next SALE" there's a lot
of buyers on hand, and the bidding
is lively They all know they can
depend on Marshall. He knows what
is best for the farmer; he tells the
producers when to sell to get the
biggest profit out Of their hogs, and
he tells The packers what the farmers
have to offer.
The system works fine.
Sumter's hogs now afford one Of

SAID Miss Polk, "to read hundreds of

ut is also to be urged upon the

Miss Polk, 'it is mete that the poem

should be combined with rhythm

Icrease substantially throughout the
state South Georgia must furnish
some of the hogs to eat up North
Georgia's abundant corn crop.
"Rhe boil wceyil may eat Up our

we'll produce more than enough hogs
to eat all of our corn" G
The most profitable way to market
corn, according to Marshall, is in
pork, and this grain is being more
and more adopted as a, ration for
hogs here. But the peanut hog" and
the velvet bean hog" are fixtures in
Sumter county and South Georgia.

The system has worked admirably in New
