ABILENE RlPOITIll-MEWi Corn Worih More as Hog Feed Experiment Station Figures Show That the recent low price of hogs has had a -depressing effect on the industry Is undeniable, yet figures compiled by the Texas Agricultural Experiment station reveal growers can realize an above-market price for feed by feeding hogs. This will encourage growers of this area who took so many forward steps in building up the industry last year. In a report compiled Hale, chief of the swine hus- WOOTEN FOOD it Wonderful TRY IT!

College Agricultural Experiment station, it was shown that when hogs were selling for per near that' now) that producers would be receiving 74 cents per bushel for corn. STOCK IMPROVED About this time' a year ago, top hogs were bringing 10 cents per pound and there was. an unparalleled demand for high quality breeding stock. Vocational agriculture students, 4-H club boys, and bankers in a dozen; counties of this area were drawing deep from the supply of breeding animals of recognized breeders. As a result, there are more high- grade hogs on farms "of the "area than in years.

Then along came cheap prices and agriculturist.began to worry about losing the "seed stock" as usually is-the prices go down. swine experiments show that on the average, one can produce 100 pounds of pork for about 340 pounds of corn, milo.or kafir; 25 pounds of cottonseed; 25 JIMINX, HOW QUICK THAT TIA COOLS A FELLOW OFF!

With the present prices, this much tankage and cottonseed mtal will cost $1.05. The overhead, including taxes; insurance, veterinary services and equipment will amount to about $1.25 for the 100 pounds of pork produced. This gives a total of $2.30 that the farmer must addition to pounds of grain in producing each 100 pounds of pork. On the basis hogs are selling for $6.80 per the farmer get $4.50 for the 340 pounds of grain' fed; which' amounts to 74- 'per bushel corn. QUALITY ESSENTIAL Farmers that have the proper facilities and who have a practical working hog production can get these results, according to Hale.

Undoubtedly, one of the first requirements for successfully feeding hogs is to have- good free from disease and with: a frame and the inherent qualities; to make good gains- The Texas experiments show that hogs wiU make faster gains in weather where the temperature Is around 55 to 80 degrees, wiU In sunimer of around 85 degrees. are making good gains when they at the rate of -1J5- pounds per day. while winter-fed pigs will gain closer to 1.75 pounds per day. In order for. one to; get the most efficient gains, be necessary to have equipment that.

hogs as comfortable as possible to winter and in summer, Hale points out Plenty of good shade, and quarters free from dust are necessary for summer feeding and in winter tie sleeping 'and feeding' quarters for the pigs must be dry and free from aU cold draughts. These cautions are 'in order for the pigs to make the most efficient use of their grain. HINDERED BY PARASITES The pigs can not: utilize grain to best advantage when they are.
