Hogs Are Ideal Supplement To Income, County Agents Declare j WARRENTON—Hog production. , j for years a secondary farming on- j terprise on Warren County farms, j now can add substantially to the i income or any Warrenton farmer, I So says the Negro Farm Agents, j who point out. that hog farming ! is an ideal enterprise for one want- j ing to produce livestock on a large j scale with a minimum of capital ! outlay. And hog farming with favorable j marked.ig conditions, can be as ! profitable as any farming venture , according to the agents. , The man entering hog produc | lion, can take his choice of one of i two types of specialized production j or he can manage a general, rather | than specialized, hog producing | operation By constructing a cement •feeding pen” or pig parlor” for an approximate coat of SSOO and investing $l5O in feeit ! er equipment, a farmer can equip himself for specialited | slaughter production, turning out a rate of 400 top weight • <2W» pounds! hogs per year, - | By having the pigs on the open f | market, at a weight, so 50 pounds a j anrl at an average of $13.50 per r I pig and selling them when they g j reach too Weight a farmer can sell | a group of 100 hogs every three months. Under normal condition, the farmer can expect, a return above cash expense* of $2,004.75 per year. If he can operate efficiently e nough in put one- pound of weight on his hogs for each three and a half pounds of teed, he can add $690 to his profits If. however, he uses four and a half pounds of i feco to <?»ch pound of weight, his : profits v ill dwindle bv S6OO. Here's a sample cost list for = j -500 hog tier year specialised feed : ir.g program; j By grovesng 400 hogs to a weight ■ of 200 pounds each and soiling > thorn at. an average price of $1.87 per pound the farmer would bring 1 ire gross return of $18,600. j' His expenses would include 412 I pigs fallowing for three per cent mortality) purchased at $53.50 each j for a total outlay of $4,738. For feed he would buy 3.807 bushels of : corn 3'. $1.25 per bushel for a total j cost of *1.757.50; and 30.450 pounds 11 of supplement at *55 per pound |> for a tote 1 cost of $1 574.75. ; Some 800 pounds of minerals <limestone steamed bonemcai and salt) at .*? per pound for a total j coast «>f $36 would be required as : would 41? shots of cholera vaccine ! si 7,j certs each ftotal $300) and other veterinary expenses totaling : siaa Cx-h oxoenscs including all : times, would then total $11,580, i leaving the farmer a return of $2.- . j 004.75. | FEEDER J»!f. PRODUCTION I The man who specializes in "ton” ; slaughter hog production creates an opportunity for other farmers ;to supply him with young 60 j pound feeder pigs. By growing and soiling 4'o sixty | round feeder pigs each year for 30 sows, s farmer under normal i condition.* can expect a return a i hove operational expenses of 32 - ; 545. ! U the farmer can a '©rape eitht i and a half nigs per litter he can ! : boost fins figure by S6OO But if ■ , production falls below the eight piy : ner lif.icr mark, ho must substract j from the anticipated profit. { TOBACCO; SEED; TO SMOKE j j Prom tiny seed to billowing j smoke rings is the story of tobacco, j in your cigarete, your cigar, or | your pipe. The story begins when ; the farmer selects his seed the ! kind lie figures the buying com ! parties will want, if he's that good 1 ! a gusser—and ends when he has ; | marketed his last golden leaf be- ' j fore the close of the auction mar- I j ket between Thanksgiving and i ; Christmas'. The scad, approximately a level i i tcaspoonfu.il to the 100 square i ! yards of bod surface, must be j I sown January, February or early ; j March, depending upon the theory j of ihe individual farmer. Orginally i he sowed the seed in a grubbed- ; up new ground where he would i j not be hotnfered with disease and ; weeds; but nowadays he sows the I seed in an open field, often years in the same spot, but he must gas : 1 his bed to hold down the weeds j ' and diseases if be can. Canvas is stretched over (he ; bed <o protect the young plants from the cold and the farmer sits hack and wait* for the growing plants to get as big as a dime and then bigger, hop ing to bo the first in his com munity to have plants ready to transplant. If his fumigants have been effective, he may have no weeds in hi* beds, j otherwise there is that hark breaking task before trans planting time comes. The transplanting is done in j April or May by men rid ing on horse or tractor-drawn | transplanters which cover the roots ; ' of the plants. firm the soil, and j place t* needed amount of water j ! to the root of each plant. But this j | is a rather recent procedure. It j | hasn’t always been thus Not too | many years back the plants were dropped 6n the prepared ridge by hand, then setters came along with wooden pegs and made holes in the ground, inserted the plants and then firmed the soil. Others came along, often the women and the children and watered the plants. Replanting must be done, some | times time and time again, for I with acreage allotments, no hill of ! the weed can be spared. In the ! earlier days, plants were set as ! Ihree .feet apart, but not now | they must be around 20 to 24 inches I to make up for reduced acreage. ! No more is the farmer satisfied | of the leal to the acre, out he i strives for a ton or more, whether ; he reaches that goal or not many ! of them do. Harvest time come* and the ' whole family, women and children, j and often the neighbors are press- I od into service to harvest the crop, j for it will not wait. The most mod- i err» method now is !c use harvest- ! ers where applicable. But that method is new. When tobacco first ranre io the ar<», Toppers put the tobacco in burlap aureus and men 'toted' *t to the barns, where, beiievf it or not it was not strung as today with twine, but was stuck on sticks with sharn ended wires to impale the stems of the leaves.
