PIG RECORD ' BEING MADE BY GLAZENER Pure Stock and Correct Feeding Are Essen tial to Profit SUPPLEMENTARY FEED IS URGED IN PROJECT Ten pigs, ei.ght weeks old, at a feed cost of $7.60, is the record of Edgar Glazener, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Glazener of the Connestee section. Young Glaze ner is entering his second year In the pig business, having made a neat sum last year from the same protect, when he realized a profit of $18.83. Edgar’s sow is pure blood spot ted Poland China, crossed wilh i Duvoc sire, and the adage that “blood will tell” is clearly shown in the pigs. Correct feeding and housing have been a large factor in the project, the young fanner following closely instructions of his agriculture teacher, Prof. J. A. Glazener, of the Brevard high school. He is a full-fledged mem ber of the Future Farmers of America, and takes active part in all activities of the organization. Another project that young Mr. Glazener has is corn, and he ex pects to sell his harvest by the pig route, thus getting more for his ;rop than could possibly be real- zed by straight marketing. But ;orn alone will not be used as feed for the litter that he expect.s to fatten for the early fall mar- Half acre of clover will bo used as pasture, and along with the feed raised on the farm he vill use a supplementary feed. Ho s partial to Purina pig and hog chows as his supplementary feed and asserts emphatically that there is profit to be realized from feeding this chow, even though the average hog raiser is inclined to think that “store bought” feeds unnecessary and expensive.
