Dale County farmers raise peanuts on which they fatten their hogs. The farmers plant the peanuts and the hogs gather them. The hogs are fat. Most of them are No. 1.

"In plain language Dale County farmers bring fat hogs to market by the thousand. They take home fat checks by the tens of thousands.

"This market service given to Dale County farmers through their county agent and the publicity given this farm news, shows in an enterprising fashion how Dale County folks keep up with the progress.

"Through their farm leaders who first secured the latest market prices they were able to get a price which was very high for their hogs, in fact Dale County topped the hog market this week.
