SMITH PRESCRIPTION DRUGGIST Candy Cigars CORN FED HOGS BRING BETTER PRICE BEAUTIFUL BIDWELL HEIGHTS THE 26TH OF HAY Essig Market H. O. ESSIG, Prop. Raleigh, N. C, May .6. The fail tire to understand that hogs fresh from the soybean arid peanut fields will sell for better prices when they i have been ted further with corn and fish meal is costing farmers of North Carolina many thousands of dollars per year. W. W. Shay, swinP extension spec ialist at State1 College, cites the case of T. W. Griffin of Woodville in Bertie county who had 54 hogs fresh from soybean and peanut fields on February fifth. The hogs weighed 9,295 pounds'-and he was oifered. eight cents per pound for them,. This would have brought him $74160. Mr. Griffin took up the matter with coun ty agent B. E, Grant wjho wired Mr. Shay for advice. Mr. Shay wired back to add sixty pounds to the hogs by feeding corn and fish meal. He then explained by letter that oilv hogs were selling at that time for $7.50 to $9.00 per hund red pounds and that while the price trend was upwards, the hogs weigh ing 172 pounds each were too heavy to be made hartl. If 60 pounds were added better prices ftould be received. Mr. Griffin followed this advice. He added 3,493 pounds to the otal weight, an average of 65.7 pounds each, at a feed cost of $14.12 per hundred pounds gain and sold the animals f. o. b. Woodville on March 21. This was just 44 days later and he received a. price of $12 per hund red making a profit over feed cost of $297.76. .'" Mr. Griffin stated that corn was selling locally for $1.06 per bushel He sold 279.5 bushels of corn and corn rrreal for $2.68 per bushel. "Other farmers following our re commendations as to feeding hogs are finding that it pays to sell their corn in this way," says Mr. Shay.
