The Associated Duroc-Jersey breed
ers of the five counties in Richmond
district are not unmindful OF the
attraction lent to any gathering by the
service of a good dinner. They pro
pose to furnish one of these good
dinners at their meeting in the Rich
mond high school auditorium on sat
urday, January u. According to the
announcement this dinner will be
served "for nominal sum and will
include roast pig.
Now roast pig is a most tempting
morsel, being flavory, juicy and tender
An old man, with just a few wooden
teeth, can get away with lot OF H.
or mayhap without any teeth what
soever. Roasted and Drowned and
seasoned to suit, the pig makes a
succulent dish, fit for the President
and U. S. A., or that of the wisest
andd best farmer in Indiana. Roast
pig. indeed. stands in a class by itself.
The dinner is but small part OF
the enjoyable program of the day
Music, addresses and moving pictures
are included. beginning with music by
Blossoms orchestra at 10 O'Clock and
the OptulHS W CIoIt Co AiC'
bridge, of Mays, Ind, at 1915. Who
is the star of the moving picture cast
do you ask? The films were taken at
the National Swine Show; you can
guess the rest.
All breeders will be welcomed and
all pig club members are especially
| invited, regardless of the breed Of hog
| they are most interested in. Prof
| E. L. Austin. of Purdue, assistant state
club leader, will address the assem-
| blage in the afternoon. c. c. Terrell

ing program.
/ Mr.. Armour's Views
! Whatever the Armour house may
| say regarding the live stock or meat
| trade is always of interest to farmers
| as we'll as to consumers and traders
| in general. The following review
given out last Saturday sounds ar
encouraging note to live stock growers
Marked improvement characterized
meat trade this week. Of especia
| interest was the renewal of buying fol
! foreign account. English trade is IL
the market for quantities of meat a!
well as lard, reviving a phase of the
market dormant for many weeks. Bee
| trade is on a very satisfactory basis
Trade in the cured product is on {
good basis, and while not so large. i

quite within seasonal proportions

E. Record Breaking Corn Receipts
The receipts of corn at Chicago il
1921 were more than double those O.
1920, and also 50,000.000 bushels il
excess of the former high mark. The
total was 1S4 100000 bushels. Receipt!
of wheat and oats fell below th'
average, at 1885, 900 for wheat ant
S2,723,000 bushels of oats. If the re
ceipts of corn at other primary mar
kets increased in 1921 on parity will
the increase at Chicago, this will pal
TALLY explain why so much corn ha
been sold below the cost of production

Farmers cooperative Shipping asso
citation, of Baxter, Iowa, found it dii
ficult to keep all their members il
line last year caused the holding O
