much faster than the average .Ameri

vanced In numbers faster than the
hogs of the whole country.
“The state College of Agriculture In
n recent bulletin makes the point that
the development of the hog industry
In the state ‘has taken place largely
In South Georgia.’ The boll weevil, the
continued raising of large numbers of
hogs and since colonial times, nnd tho
Introduction of peanuts just after the
War Between the States are tho rea
sons assigned for South Georgia’s ■ ad
vantage at this time, along with North
Georgia’s practice of raising only one
or two good pen-fed hogs at a time.
At any rate, South Georgia Is ahead,
just as It Is ahead In a good many

Browth of rural population, lf a man
