I EXTENSION SCENE I North Carotfao ? AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE JOHN G. RICHARDSON lUbcM CMiaty Exteufcn Ckafrtna Since 1%9 we have held two hog shows annually in Kobeson County. The grand daddy of those shows is the spring show which is usually held in March. The spring show is a market hog show whereby individuals compete in numerous classes, and awards are presented based on the decisions of a professi onal judge. The spring show is also accompanied with lots of hoopla such as civic club tudging contests and some other educational activities such as youth judging com petition and showmanship dCUVIIICS. The other show that was added in 1969 is the hog carcass show that is cus tomarily held on opening night of the county fair. This show has only a small number of hogs involved but is dra matically more valuable in terms of the educational in formation obtained from fol low-up activities that are associated with the show. While we hold an on-hoof competition, there is only one class involved which includes all animals. Then, trophies are presented to the top ten placing animals with an ex planation being provided to the audience by a professional judge as to why he placed the animals in the order which he hiid chosen. However, the major activities associated with the fall hog carcass show are the activities that are involved in slaughtering the animals and subsequently measuring the carcasses for statistical information which ???BMBnMBS W is ultimate-It provided back to all swine producers in Rob eson County. The information which is obtained from each carcass includes back fat measure ments in three locations, the carcass length, and the loin eye is measured to determine the square inches of the lean section of the loin. Addition ally. the overall lean cut percent is determined, and 1 carcass placings are deter hMnaa I This year Mack Johnson of Route 2. Lumberton. had the grand champion carcass wheh which had a lean cut percent ot 62.05. This lean cut percent includes hams, loins, and shoulders. William Dial had the second place hog which came in at 59.57 percent. Other placings included Will iam C. Sampson in third at 58.43 percent; Tina Dial, fourth. 57.44 percent; Carol Dial, fifth. 56.79 percent: Anthonv Lockiear, sixth. 53. 68 percent; Jeffery Maynor, sevepth, 52.74 percent) Lucy Maynor. eighth. 52.20 per r#?nt- Martha Mavnnr ninth 52.12 percent; and Maurice Locklear. tenth, at 51.82 percent lean cuts. Practically all of the car casses were relatively long with the champion coming in at 3X8 inches and Lucy Maynor's porker having the longest carcass at 33.5 inches. I was especially impressed with the loin eye measure ments this year, especially since we consistently had small loin eyes in the first few years following the inception of the carcass show. This year, however, saw practically every loin eye at over 5 square inches and the largest loin eye at 7.6 square inches. For those who may be trying to interpret these figures. I believe that most housewives would be very happy to buy pork chops with a five square inch loin eye and those individuals purchasing pork chops with a 7.6 square inch lean eye would be nothing less than ecstatic with their selection. I congratulate each of the individuals named- for their outstanding performance in the carcass show this yeafr. and in the event that anyone would like further clarification or additional information re garding individual carcasses, a call to the Extension Office at 738-8111 is advised. fAn Indian Manifesto 1 BRUCE BARTON'S I THE SECT OF ..
