, Cooperative Hog Sell’ng j
Brings Cash To Farmers!
Markets Operating at Twelve
Points in State Are Well Pat
ronized by Hog Growers of
Sections Served.
With twelve markets already
established and two more un
der consideration, cooperative
v hog marketing in eastern North
Carolina is proving a boon to
swine growers, declares H. W.
Taylor, swine specialist for the
State College Extension Service.
Working with county agents,
the growers haul their hogs to
a central loading point on pres
cribed days for shipment to
Northern markets in carload
, lots.
Prices this spring have been
good, Taylor says, and farmers
generally have been pleased
with the cooperative plan. This
N is the first year that hogs have
been shipped on a large scale
cooperatively.
Markets now operating in
New Bern, Tarboro, Four Oaks,
Burgaw, Plymouth, Greenville,
(Washington, Shawboro, Eliza
bethtown', Warsaw, Lnmberton,
Burgaw, and Rowland.
Taylor says that markets in
Scotland Neck and Kinston are
now under consideration. If
sufficient interest is taken, ship
ping points will be established
in these two places. Other
points will also be considered.
Leading the way in the larg
„ esfc shipments is the New Bern
Cooperative Livestock Market,
serving farmers of Craven,
Carteret, Jones, Onslow, and
Pamlico counties.
„ To date, according to M. A.
Morgan, Craven farm agent,
growers have shipped from this
point 7,543 hogs, weighing 1,
547,344 pounds, and selling for
$147,753.46. Shipments are
made each Tuesday, with the
county agents from all five
counties working with their
growers in an advisory capa
city.

Cotton Classing
To Aid Fanners
^ * -
Object to Encourage Growers
In Selecting Improved Var
ieties for Planting
Dr. R. Y. Winters, director of
the Agricultural Experiment
Station at State College, says
the act just passed by Congress
authorizing classing of cotton
and exension of market news
servieg to groups of farmers
organized to improve the qual
ity of cotton should be of tre-j
mendous value to cotton grow
lers in this State.
The act, an amendment to the
so-called grade and staple law,
administered by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, is expect
ed to encourage cotton farmers
tc organize and select- an im-'
proved variety adapted to the
community. There are already j
more than 500 such organized j
communities in the Cotton Belt)
-•
now eligible for the classing
and market news 'service. * Of
this number, 10 communities
are located in North Carolina,
says Director Winters. Farm
ers who would like to get in
formation on the procedure for
organizing a one-variety com
munity shuld get in touch with
their county agents or the Ag
ricultural Experiment Station.
Under the present system of
marketing, “hog-around” prices
are paid growers on the aver
age quality of cotton sold on
the local market. The grower
who sells high-«quality cotton
receives only a small portion of
the premiums that such cotton
would bring on a central mar
ket. This system leaves little
incentive for the production of
better cotton. That manufac
turers- are willing to pay prem
iums for high-grade cotton of
long and more uniform staple
is shown by the fact that co
operating farmers in a Georgia
community in 1 year received
an average extra income of $104
each for extra lint and prem
iums.
Dr. Winters called attention
to the interdependency of the
classing and market news ser
vice. Neither would be effec
tive without the other as a far
mer may know the grade and
staple classification and sell be
loiw the market price, if the
market service is not available.
On the other hand he may know
the market price but not know
the correct grade.
More than 3,500 blood-tested
bacy chicks were purchased in
Jones County this spring as a
result of demonstrations by the
assistant county agent.

"BREAD &BUTTER TO ME
My station is all on its own. My living’s
got to come mostly from just you people
right here. I want your steady trade, so’s
to build a real growing business. And
there’s where it helps me a lot, I can tell
you, to be selling Conoco Germ Processed
ofl. You see it makes customers and keeps
them for me. It's patented—the only oil
that can Oil-Plate your engine. Meaning
that a definite part of this ofi always
fastens direct to every working part...
forms a real Plating of oil, which cant
run down. Other oils will “dry off* every
time you park, but Oil-Plating can’t, so
you’ll never make any hard, grinding
starts. And that ends the worst wear of
all. Or when you’re hitting it up all day,
you won’t find this real Oil-Plating rub
bing right off, like just some plain little
drops of oil. Oil-Plating’s not thinning out
either, nor burning right up. Which gives
you mighty solid reasons why 03-Plating
means more mileage from your engine
and your Conoco Germ Processed oil.
Besides making customers, I get a kick
out of changing you to an oil I can
believe in myself, right to the limit.
