happier hogs and better pork,
plus increased income (or swine
producers.
Prepared by Jack Kelley, in
charge of livestock for the Exten
sion Service, and H. A. Steward, '
in charge of swine research for
State College, the it-page Illu
strated booklet is the latest in
formation on swine production
from selecting breeding stock and
sow testing to cross breeding,
herd management, pasture,
grains, antibiotics and minerals.
On marketing, the authors
warn farmers that "Even the
slightest bruises lower the grade
of prime cuts and hurt the sale
of finished pork products. The
use of sticks, clubs, sharp in
struments, prod poles and whips
injure hogs" ? and your pocket
book. Kelley and Steward sug
gest that farmers use canvas slip
pers or electric prods to drive
hogs.
North Carolina's swine indus
try, which ranks second in the
entire South and is a $65 million
annual business, furnishes a part
of the food supply for most farm
families and the income from
cash sales is of considerable im
portance.

obtained from Count Agent L.
E. Tuckwiller, or by writing De

The Agricultural Department
has proposed a minimum annual
wheat acreage allotment of 63,
000,000 acres in 1954. There have
been no quota on wheat-growing
since 1941 and, since that time,
the size of the American wheat
crop and the surplus have grown.
Wheat production in excess of 1,
000,000,000 bushels is now indi
cated for 1953. This will increase
the carry-over stocks to around
650,000,000 bushels on July 1,
1954, a record.
