This Is probably the first car of finished hogs ever shipped by Individual growers from this section. Hbsse gentleman do not make hog raising thair specialty, but conduct It as a aide line In their general system of progressive farming.

These bogs were raised largely upon clover and gleaningB of catch crops of cow peas and bo J a beans grown with the corn. Mr. Latham ' and Mr. Jc&nson are In the forefront o?any more that spells progressive agi iculture and their success un! questionably will open the way to j the growing and shipping of many cars of hogs from this section of the county In the rntare.
