Farmers RallyTo Swine Purchases Feed Crops and Visioned Pro fits Accelerate Purchases of Western Pigs The purchase of 18,000 pounds of pig flesh through the office of the Duplin county farm agent during the week-end swelled the total of Western pig purchases by Duplin farm ers to 77,000 pounds, or ap proximately 1,400 pigs. Already purchased and de-[ livered ate six carloads of pigs, j or 59,000 pounds. Of this am-j ount I. J. Sandlin, Beulaville, | purchased 50,000 pounds.

Be fore leaving Nebraska Taylor made arrangements to place ad ditional orders at correspond ing figures. While the Bureau of the Cen- ! sus, Department of Commerce, credits Duplin with being the leading hog-raising county in North Carolina, 34,901 hogs be ing reported in the latest re port this summer, the question arises as to why Duplin farm ers are purchasing Western 'pigs. According to available information the answer is found in the fact that Duplin farmers are realizing that di versification is necessary, along with the fact that pigs can be raised cheaply on bountiful feed crops grown throughout this section- Fattening hogs wittering *-good receipts „ this fall and winter, it is contended, and heretofore unrealized pro fits can be afforded.
