GOOD PRICES IN
PROSPECT FOR
NEXT HOG SALE
The prospects for the farmers’ co
operative hog sale at Plains next Fri
day are very encouraging, according
to announcement by Geo. O. Marshall,
county agent, and indications are
the farmers will receive good prices
for their stock. Said Mr. Marshall:
“The co-operative hog sales which
have been held at Plains since the
grading pens have been completed
have proved very successful, since
these sales enabled the farmers to
get a higher price for their hogs than
could have been obtained otherwise. It
is unfortunate that these pens and
this system of selling could not have
been started earlier in the season be
fore the bulk of the hogs had been dis
posed of. However, in the last sale
thirty farmers took advantage of this
system of selling.
“The next sale to be held will be
Friday, April 11, at which time a
good price should be had for the hogs
run through this sale. Letters have
already come from the Moultrie Pack
ing Co., and the Tifton Packing Co.,
and a telephone message from Cape
Fear Packing Co., assuring that each
packing house will have a represent
ative at the sale to bid on these hogs.
Four other hog buyers have promised
to be at the sale and the local buyers
will have an opportunity to bid on
these hogs. The county agent is glad
to secure as many bids as possible,
thus assuring the farmer a better price
for his product.”

Rides For Soldiers.
It has been suggested by a promin
ent Americus woman that Americus
people who own cars should take the
soldiers for Sunday afternoon rides.
The enlisted men rarely ever ride,
except on business for the camp and
the people who have given them this
pleasure say that their appreciation
is very genuine. The country is so
lovely at this season of the year that
it should be shared as much as possi
ble with the strangers in our midst.
