THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, lttt THS FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN PAGE F1VS Co-Op Swine Sales Yield $1,076,441 Cooperative hog shippers in North Carolina who guaranteed their pork to be hard received an estimated $30,000 more last year . than they would have got if they had not given buyers this protec tion. Buyers who run a risk of get ting soft and oily pork, due to the hogs feeding heavily on peanuts or soybeans, cannot offer the farmer as much for his animals, said H. W. Taylor, of State college. Most of the hogs measured up to the guarantee, he continued, and deductions for the few soft and oily porkers found amounted to only 7iO of one per cent of the gross receipts. During the year, he said, 47,640 hogs were shipped f. o. b. in co operative shipments numbering 680 carloads. The total weight was 9, 309,842 pounds, and the receipts were $932,458.94. An additional 81 carloads con taining 5,690 hogs were shipped ch operatively on consignment. They totaled 1,203,319 pounds and brought $113,982.07. The cooperative shipments, spon sored by county farm agents, are made to help the farmers secure better prices on the big markets and to enable them to get lower transportation rates. During the past year shipments were sent from New Bern, Tar boro, Burgaw, Cofield, Elizabeth town, Fayetteville, Lumberton, Four Oaks, Greenville, Plymouth, Rowland, Shawboro, Warsaw, and Washington. . In counties surrounding these sales points, the farmers have or ganized mutual or cooperative, marketing associations with boards of directors composed entirely of those growers who sell on the market. Shows How AAA Aids In Conserving Soil (Editor's note: This is the sixth in a series of articles in which two farmers discuss the agricul tural .conservation program.) John Brown: "There are several ways in which the program will help you take better care of your land." Bill Smith : "I'm glad of that." Brown: "First, they offer you payments for carrying out soil building practices. That will help you do things you felt yo,u just couldn't afford to do before." Smith: "I ain't had any money for nothing for years. I know .how it is." Brown: "And as I said before, the program helps to stabilize prices at a fair level. That helps in several ways. "When prices go too high, we are tempted to plant all the cash crops we can so we will make money while the makin' is good. 01 Wednesday, January 19, 1:00 P.

Sale Conducted By Hom6 Realty &-AuctionQ)mpsuiy- FRANKLIN, N. C L ....' But this type of overcropping soon wears. out the soil. "And when we plant every avail able acre to cash crops, we are likely to produce too much. Then we have overproduction and prices fall again. Many growers are forc ed to lose their farms." Smith : "1 came .near losing mine several times. It's tough, ain't it?" Brown: "And when prices are real low, we feel that we've got to plant cash crops on every pos sible acre in order to eke out a living. This, too, means overpro duction and wearing out the land, unless something is done about it. "But when prices are kept at a fair level, we find it is easier to limit our . acreage of cash crops. This leaves more land for soil building crops. And when we are making a decent living, we can af ford to do things that will con serve the land for the future."
