This sow was grand champion at the South Carolina State Fair in 1919. , There was an excellent showing of hegs at this fair and when one con siders thatthis animal won the grand championship over her ownbreed and all other breeds, it indicates high" quality indeed? Among the breeders competing was Mahan &.Neff of Ohio. They had won the grand champion sow premium in seven states before reaching South Carolina, and here thfty lost to the "Duchess." Mr. Turlington said he had seen oi ly one other sow better than his South Carolina champion Another sow on the farm also won the senior championship at the 1919 South Caro lina State Fair. The sire now being used is Aviator K5rig No, 134421, This boar was grand, champion of the 1919 North Carolina State Fair, at which-time hewat only two years old. This hog stands well the hie' bone tvoe. has a good coat of hair and is a good this way.
