RAZORBACK SEED
VS. RAZORBACK HOGS

few years ago the Louisiana Ex-
pertinent Station added a razorback
pig to litter of purc-bred pigs. When
hog killing time came in the fall the
pure bred averaged 300 pounds each
and the razorback weighed 40 pounds.
Each year for four years a razorback
pig was put with litter of pure bred
pigs. II was fed from the same trough
grazed in the same pasture and hand
led just as the pure breds were hand
led. Each year the pure breds weigh
ed from 250 to 800 pounds, when mar
keted. The razorbacks never reached
greater weight than SO pounds de-
spite the best Of feeding and handling.
In Arkansas we have almost elimin-
ated the razorback hog, but we still
suffer from razorback seed. Razor
back seed will not produce big yields
Farmers who will take the trouble to
investigate the value Of pure bred seed
VIII plant nothing else The use of
pure bred seed means the saving of
time, money and labor.
