CLUB BOY AWARDED
SCHOLARSHIP

G. Carlton GLAND, or Olney,
Montgomery county, winner OF the
State fifteen-hundred-pou litter
contest conducted by the Maryland
Swine Growers Association, has
been awarded the $4,000 scholar
ship prize offered by the Baltimore
Z Ohio Railroad for the best All
Club work done in 1926.
Announcement of the award has
been made by o.. X. Quivey, agricul-
tural, agent for the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, following examination
of a number of records submitted by
All Club Boys and Girls through
out the State. The award may be
used either to cover the expenses
Of trip or to help defray the costs
If a college education.
The winner of the scholarship this
year made an outstanding record in
swine production. Starting out with
twelve purebred Duroc Jersey pigs,
young GLAND succeeded in getting
them to weight Of 2,423 pounds in
$50 days. Carrying them along for
another thirty days., the litter
weighed slightly more than ton and
a half at the end of the 1SO day
period.
According to the records, young
GLAND succeeded in getting his twelve
pigs to weight of 2,423 pounds at
an average cost of .6.6 cents per
pound. The additional 5S5 pounds
gained during the next thirty days
were obtained at slightly more ex-
oense, or at an average cost of 9.8
per pound. The average cost for
he entire $50 day period was 1928
rents per pound.
The use of a self feeder and the
'un of a good pasture were factors
n the success of the achievement.
In addition to the $4,000 scholar
ship awarded by the Baltimore &
Ohio, young GLAND won numerous
prizes at the Rockville and Timon
ium Fairs on his litter and also
received a silver loving cup from
the Maryland Swine Gro W er s.
