Back in 1918 to 1920" said Mr..
Peacock, ''the price of hogs was so
gratifying that you almost felt like
putting the old SOW in the parlor.
Hogs and other livestock carried
you through that period of depres-
sion and the future OF the hog bust
ness is bright-it is coming back
and the situation now is as good, if
not better than at any time during
the last twelve months.
IF Georgia farmers will stay with
hogs year after year, you can ac-
complish here what has been accom-
plished in Iowa and other middle
western states"
Mr.. Wentworth devoted some time
to a careful analysis of farming con-
ditions in this state and hammered
home the idea that balanced pro
gram is the only one that will sue
coed in the long run, He came here
from Texas, and he compared con-
ditiOnS in the two states, asserting
that the large volume Of production
of cotton in that state, coupled with
the fact that a great area is unaf-
fected by the boil weevil, would give
it a predominant bulge in the field
Of cotton production.
Texas Production Falls OFF
so great has been the increase
in the cotton growing industry
there" said Mr.. Wentworth, that
some ranches are turning over their
land for farming. That should offer
the necessary stimulant to you
growers to stick with the hog grow
ing business. along with other live
stock, because of the decreased pro-
duction out there, and because of
the fact that their cotton produc-
ton will overshadow yours"
Mr.. Vaughn preached the gospel
OF hard work and Investigation as
the essential need of the farming in
dustry. He declared that the land.
was worn out by the one-crop sys-
tenn and that a majority OF the stock
raised in this state was not pure
bred and would not conform to the
specifications of packers. He talked
straight from the shoulder and he
discussed intimate phases of the
live stock industry.
