Sanitation Program
Aiding Hog Growers
Excellent results obtained through
a swine sanitation program are be
ing reported b^ farmers in all parts
of Eastern North Carolina, says H
I W Taylor swine specialist of the
State College extension servcie
As one example, Taylor pointed to
the case of H. P. Swain, a Tyrrell
county grower of Columbia. Route
1. Mr ?wain has a litter of pigs
. that were born March 15 and wean
i ed May 16 At the time of weaning,
. the pigs weighed 455 pounds, an av
erage weight of 57 pounds each
- Befoe??the t*tw?iarrowed, Mr.
Swain washed her thoroughly with
1 soap and water, oiled her, and
placed her on a one-fourth acre plot
i of green oats. When the pigs were
15 days old. a self-feeder was plac
ed in the oat patch In the three com
partnu nts of the feeding device were
corn, a mineral mixture, and fish
meal, so that th? pigs could eat their
choice of any of the three f<*ds at
any time.
The yoUng animals learned to eat
even befoie they were weaned, and
did not protest a great deal when
the sow was taken from them. The
pigs are how making rapid daily
gains
During the period February 18 to
April 25. Mi Swain also carried out
a feeding demoiistra11011 with 25
older hogs At the- beginning of the
' period, the animals weighed an avcr
age of 109 pounds each During the
time up to April 25. they gained
daily an average of 1 3-4 pounds
each, and when they were sold on
"that date they averaged 195 pounds
each.
In this demonstration, Mr. Swain
kept corn, a mineral mixture, and a!
protein supplement of equal parts of
fish meal and cottonseed meal in|
separate compartments of the feed
by feeding coi'h valued luially at
68 cents a bushel to the hogs and
then selling tin- corn in the form of
pork, this Tyrrell farmer figures
he receivers 92 ( '-nts a bushel for his
grain.

1 chopping produces larger yields and
5 controls "rust" damage in cotton,
i This treatment is especially recom
mended in the peanut section of the
State where the disease causes con
j siderable damage. From 50 to 1001
pounds of 50 per cent muriate of
