By July 1, 1915, the agricultural colleges of the following states had joined with the department . in furthering this move- :ment: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana and Nebraska. During the fall of 1915 it wag taken up in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, California and Oregon. The work will be ex- tended to other states. as fast as funds permit. During 1915 there were over 10,000 club members in the states named, of whom 5,827 were in Louisi- ana, Alabama and Georgia, where the work has been in progress two years or longer. Some trouble has been experienced in getting the members to keep com- plete records throughout the year. In- ducements have been offered to mem- bers sending in complete reports, such as a year’s subscription to one of the good swine papers, a free ticket to the state fair or seed sufficient to plant a pasture and a small area in some for- age crops for the pig. But while these have helped (0 svule exteri the per 14 Ibs for $1.00 i Ibs for 1.00 Bbs 1.00 7doz 1.00 1.00 Bacon ] . . . 17¢ Ib Pork Roast . : 17¢ - 18¢ 1b Corn Beef . . 2 1bs for 25¢ The : ’ %% Troppman €enter BATTLES HARDWARE MOVIES DURING “BIRTH OF THE NATION” WEEK AND JUST AS GCOOD, BUT— A WISE SELECTION Edith—“I think Jack is just horrid.

The report in 1914 of the members in Alabama showed the average number of pigs per member in the spring was 1.35 and the average weight was thirty- four pounds. In the fall the average number of pigs per member was 1.92 and the average weight was 126 pounds.

Of all the pigs Y . raised by the pig club boys in the vari- ous states in 1914 the ave cost for each 100 pounds gain in e weight varied between $4.25 and $5.20. Dur- ing that time the price of hogs ranged from $7 to $9 per 100 pounds. showing a good profit from the standpoint of the market hog alone. In Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia the average valuation of all members’ pigs in the spring was $9.01, $5.50 and $11.26 per head. respectively, while the average valuation in December was $: i, $17.14 and $43.60. The low val- n of the hogs in Alabama was due to the facts that about SO per cent of them were meat hogs and that there were twenty-one litters of pigs includ- ed in the December valuation, which lowered the average. The valuation in December of the original pigs which started in the spring, along with their increase, was $27.28 per head. The high prices in Georgia were due to the fact "~ READ ON Everyhody's Favorite! The Range Your Wife Wanis Does your wife like a range with plenty of gleaming nickel and all elaborate design?
