Yours very truly, W. C. McGUIRE, Agent in Feeder Hog Distribution. The man who wrote the above to the State Pig Club Agent is employ employed - ed employed by the government to get the pigs and hogs out of erop-failure sections and wnto parts of the country where feed is plentiful.

He has raised and fed hogs himself and knows the game. He has orders for 200,000 head he cannot fill, and he and ten of his friends would like to get hold of a thousand each one hun hundred - dred hundred pound pigs.

If you raised one hundred hogs last year, you wiu be asked to raise to maturity one hundred and ten head next year.
