content: Original title reads, "Feeding English Large White sows. The farm is in two sections four miles apart but considered as one unit. The manager expects to sell 36,000 pigs in 1959. All but 50 pigs a month are shipped by rail to and butchered in Lagos. The farm was started in 1943 by Kalil Maroun to furnish pork for U.S. troops stationed in Kano. In the pictures, sows expected to farrow are shown being fed in a special yard where they are kept for about two months during the gestation period." [Elisofon field notes, August 1959-December 1959]
