Selling Thin Pigs Loses Farmer
Money


Before marketing underweight
pigs, farmers should carefully con-
slider the possible profit from feed
ing them IS to 40 days longer,
says e. r. Ferrin, swine authority
Of the animal husbandry division.
University Farm.
MANY thin, thrifty pigs Of $50
to 1855 pounds are being marketed
at an unnecessary loss" Mr.. Fer
rim observes. Corn is very high
in price in comparison with the
market values Of fat hogs, but
the thin pigs will more than pay
market prices for feed II fattened.
The reason Is found in the abnor-
NAL spread between prices Of good
slaughter hogs and light under
finished stock. The present farm
value Of 150- to 165-pound thin
hogs is approximately $2.75 per
hundred. Hogs Of the same con-
formation and quality carrying
good market finish at weights Of
220 to 235 pounds are worth $5.25
per hundred on the farm. Seven
ty-five pounds added weight will
increase the price per hundred
$3.50. A hog weighing 225 pounds
at $5.25 Is worth $11.81, while the
150-pound hog at $2.75 has q value
Of Sab. If 1t puts the hog in mar
ket condition, the rs, pounds added
weight Is worth $7.68.
1.-THE cost of the grain is much
less than $7.68 with corn at 80
cents per bushel and tankage at
$45 per ton. It will take about 300
pounds Of corn and tankage to put
rs pounds weight on a thrifty pig.
At the feed prices mentioned, the
grain costs $3.50, leaving O margin
Of more than So above feed costs.
No one can afford TO feed high
priced corn without protein sup
pement and it viii not be possible
to get such margin If the ration
Is unbalanced. 1
"a thrifty fattening hog makes
a gain Of about Q pounds a day.
50 that it will take 35 to 40 days
to finish 150-pound pigs for mar
ket, If they are good feeders. In
that time, fat hog prices may
change, but the majority Of mar
ket men believe hog prices will go
up in the next so days. If that
happens, the margin gained from
fatening will be larger, Mr.. Ferrin
points out.

TEAMS SCLASH.
At DUFFY
STADIUM
Rv SID KATZNELL

After considerable controversy,
the Maryland A. C. and the Pal
ace A. C.. have decided to play
their much publicized football
game for the District Semi.pro
Championship Sunday at 2:30 p.
m. at Duffy Stadium, Seat Pleas
ant.
According to the sandlot ad-
VocateS and enthusiasts this
game should offer some of the
thrills which made the Apache
Mohawk feud famous in the by
gone days.
This game was made possible
when the Two Hundred and Six
tieth Artillery players dropped
out of the National City Semi
pro League to devote more time
to, their basketball activities.
Maryland would have been forced
to engage the Coast Artillery
team had it remained in the
league.
Palace youthful stalwarts won
the first encounter between these
teams after terrific battle, 13
to 6.
Maryland A. C. Favored
However, the Maryland A. C..
Is favored to defeat the South
west aggregation Sunday because
of its addition of such players
as Willis Benner, Snail De Labre
and Joe Alenty.
Benner formerly played the
backfield for Maryland Univer-
sity, while Joe Alenty starred
in Georgetown University's back
field several years ago. De
Labre played with the Apaches
when that team was one Of the
foremost semi-pro elevens in the
District.
Palace and Maryland was sup
posed to meet two weeks ago,
but the Southwest team elected
to play Clancy A. c. in Norfolk.
For this act Palace was barred
from further competitor in the
National City circuit. Whether
the contest Sunday will be a
league game no one seems to
know.
Depends on Scanlon
Palace A. c. is depending on
Mike Scanlon, its triple-threat
playing manager, who was con-
sidered one of the finest backs in
scholastic circles while attending
st. Johns High School three years
ago.
