HOG GROWING PROMOTED
BY TON LITTER CLUB
An effective way to promote the co
operative carlot shipments of hogs in
North Carolina is to organize ton lit
ter clubs over the State, in which an
eJfort is made to produce 2,000 pounds
of pork or live animals from one lit
ter of pigs in 180 days.
“This can be done all right,” says
V. W. Lewis, livestock marketing
specialist for the State Division of
Markets. “In some states fine premi
ums are offered for producing this
amount of pork from one litter. In
several instances as much as 3,000
pounds of pork has been made from
one litter. This effort creates much
rivalry among good hog growers and
the result is that more pork is pro
duced and more is available for ship
ping.
“J. T. Lazar, county agent for the
State College extension division in
Columbus county, reports one farm
er in his county who had a litter of
ten pigs that produced 195 1-2 pounds
of pork per pig in 180 days. This
grower showed these hogs at the coun

eight nice pigs only a week old at the
time.”
Mr. Liewis states that this farmer
failed to keep a record of the cost of
production and in fact was not trying
very hard to push his pigs. He be
gan growing pure bred pigs by buying
a Poland China sow through Mr. Lew
is in co-operation with a local bank
and the county agent. The bank
agreed to furnish money for buying
a carload of pure bred hogs after see
ing the results of a feeding demon
stration in the county. Now the work
is growing into the formation of ton
litter clubs which are recommended
both by W. W. Shay and Mr. Lewis.
Those who wish to begin this work
should take up the nwitter with Mr.
Lewis.
