More money m circulation as a re sult of the Defense Program has cre ated a brighter situation for swine raisers Likewise, the lease-lend act guarantees pork supplies to Britain. "These factors have brought about a favorable ratio between bog prices and feed prices," Vestal said "With hogs selling at II) cents a pound and better, farmers and 4 H club mem bers may well afford to feed any pigs they have, even if they have to buy some corn as well as protein and mineral A11 average of ten trials conduct ed by the. North Carolina Experi ment Station showed that 10-cent hogs will return $1.57 a bushel for corn consumed, basis cottonseed meal at $ 1 75 per 100 pounds, and. fish meal at $3.50 per 100 pounds. farmers and farm boys wishing to conduct feeding demonstrations are advised by Vestal to use the follow ?ng procedure: Wt igh the pigs at the beginning of "if period ' Use a self feeder Blueprints may be obtained from any county agent Use shelled corn or ground barley 111 one compartment, and cottonseed meal and fish meal (or tankage! in the other.
