We as fanners are not ,-etting the
world afire with our hog and hominy
program, but we are hammering
away. Since last June we have im
munized more than 5,0Q^ head of
hogs, shipped three cooperative cars
and have more com to feed hogs on
for the spring market than we have
ever had. Fians are under way now
to feed several cars of hogs for April
shipments. Fanners who have a few
hogs they would like' ~to feed, out
should get in touch wjth this office
and line up for the spring carfot ship
ments. It does not pay to keep last
fall farrow of pigs for next winter's
meat Spring farrowed pigs, that is
say in April,- can be made to weigh
more than 20# pounds gross which
should be big enough for any normal
man. The meat is- sweeter and the
lard just as good.
Poultry Word Moves rorwaru
W| are*still plugging along at oik
progrtSh of more and better poultry
on the farms of Pitt County. This
week orders were placed thru this
office for 2000 baby chicks which will
be fed out and shipped with the March
and April cariot shipments of poultry.
Last year more than 30,000 lbs. of
poultry was shipped from Pitt County
and this year we hope to make it
40,000. There are now two modern
poultry , houses goirffc up in Pitt
County..

to contribute five thousand dollars,
others twenty-five hundred dollars,
still more two thousand dollars, and

Out this matter and begin to get the
proposition into definite shape. It I*
