Swine breeders in Connecticut are still few in numbher but show neither signs of defeat nor a desire to sur- render. The latest reports of the bu- reau of corn estimates show that our breeders are getting slightly better re- sults than the average for the United States. The number of breeding sows in the producers’ hands in this state, April 1, this v as compared to the same date Jast vear was 110 per cent., 1 for the United States was only 108.5 per cent. A 15 per cent. increase is the york production of the entire country is needed and needed badly. Our little band of breeders is holding on te- naciously and making an excellent Lshowing in the effort to reach the goal, but these breeders are limited. A little help from farm who are adapted and have sunitable conditions for grow- ing and fattening small numbers of hogs would mean m at this time. A few hogs might be kept on many “onnecticut farms where none have a place today.
