Those Who have tested feeds in making park tell us that twelve bushels of corn are required to produce 100 pounds'of pork under average conditions. Very often here in the south, thnn amount of corn sells for more than the 100 pounds of pork. Today if yon are fortunate enough to have twelve bushels of com it can be converted instantly into twelve dollars, while one hundred pounds of pork will bring only ten at the best. This condition of affairs has started a long game of Hfde and Seek. Much ex perimenting with the various southern grown plants such as peanuts, soy beans, (THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE—FAIR AND INDUSTRIAL EDITION rye, cats, antfrape, has revealed the wel comed facts that these articles of diet are not only relished by the porker, but may be served him in such a manner in com bination with porn as to cause the two dollar difference to come to the man who boards the hpg. Pork can |»e and is made every day that costs much less than the twelve bushels of corn do. To show how accommodating he renlly can be, our swine friend has accepted the corn substitutes without argument and to see him tackle a bunch of peanuts arouses a suspicion that he would not be hard to convert into a corn prohibi tionist, if he could keep peanuts handy all the time. Peanuts, however, do not produce the grade of pork that our puck ers demand, so we must continue to look upon corn as an indispensAle part of our hog ration. This agreeable fellow even prefers to go out into the field and gather his ,own meals. Thereby he saves much ex jpense and' labor for his keeper. Bo it (becomes necessary to fence in our acres, I subdivide themi In smaller lolls, son' therein our alfalfa, rape, rye, oats and plant our peanuts and soy beaus. For the hot dry summer months when most of the above mentioned crops die or cease to grow, Sudan grass may be depended upou to keep growing and furnishing large amounts of feed. In our permanent pastures nothing surpasses Bermuda grass for grazing hogs. There are num erous other crops that may be grown prof itably uuder certain conditions or in spe cial places. If the land will permit graz ing, the most profitable way to dispose of our corn is to let the hog go out into the field, gather, husk and grind his own feed. If this is done and legumes are planted in the corn he will balance his own ration causing his owner only thi* laborious task of opening the gate for bim to enter. Another feature leading away from the corn alone ration is iu the passing of the strictly lard typeQiog. The advent of the lard substitutes com ing from the many vegetable oils has pro nounced the doom of the old time pork er who was practically all fat.' We find today a hastening towards a type of hog that will produce abundantly a quality of meat that is composed largely of lean. The demand is for large lean pork chftps. and larger, leaner hams. In stress ing size, we do not mean to attain this by keeping the hog until he attains this size by old age, but obtaining it by pro ducing the type weight. Expensive hog barns are not needed in our climate The equipment necessary for our hogs is a good fence around the' hog lots, a shed to keep off the hot sun and the winter rains and a provision for fresh water is all that is necessary. But* woe be it to the mart who does not take these simple steps of preparation. If you intend to keep a hog in a small pen, carry him feed that is obtained either out of the crib' or bought from the feed store, you had better continue to do without pork, or if the dollar Can be borrowed, sending it to lowa for salt pork. While feeding makes a hog, and a lack of it keeps him -a pig, many other ietms enter into successful pork produc tion. A strong determination to succeed must be held by the would be hog man. He must mix his hog feed with good old •fashioned Horse Sense, or in this case hog souse. A certain amount of experi ence is accessary, and if'our farmers are not nt it they had better get a few hogs and begin their twentieth century educa tion. A breed of hogs that lias demon strated its adaptability to our conditions and that will produce large litters twice each year must be selected. Each farmer has his owu problem to solve. He must fit hogs into his individ ual conditions, regulating the number to be raised and their feeding program ac cordingly. It appears certain, however, that practically all of us farmers must, if we at meat, raise it for ourselves. When he has suiqilied his own meat, some of our farmers will have done, all that can do profitably, others will be able to make money by producing llqgs for the market. As hog raising increas es our market facilities for pork will have to be enlarged and new outlets found. This prophecy is based upon per sonal experience and obtffrvufTdn of those jrho have been contending with the boll weevil for several years. In old boll weevil territory the hog has been fouud to be one of the best money crops. For the man who is willing to study the problem earnestly, work hard and use his head it appears that the raisiug of hogs and their feed is one of his best guesses. v Yorks & Wadsworth Co.

In fact, Concord is the mercantile center for all of Cabar rus and several adjoining counties. One great influence which the increas ing number of automobiles has exercised has been the demand for improved roads, and Concord is becoming the center for a network of hard-surfaced highways leading in all directions, while Cabarrus stands in a high place in North Caro lina counties in mileage of good roads.
