Production and Marketing' of
Hogs in Sumter County
Sumter county farmers now re- |
gard cotton and hogs as the best [
money crop. The hog crop in Sumter !
county as a cash, crop is now five j
years old, and the statement is made |
on no less authority than that of j
George 0. Marshall, our county
agent, who is always alive in finding
eady markets for the farm products
of Sumter county farmers, if first
the produce is graded by the rules
laid down by Mr. Marshal, who is
here to aid his farmer friends in ev
ery way that he can. Mr. Marshall
says that three years prior to this
adventure Sumter county employed
a County Agent. His chief work
seemed to be directed along the line
of live stock production. A number
of adult farmers were induced to
purchase pure bred hogs and with
these he arranged to get pure bred
pigs for club boys. It appears that
all the pigs farrowed were used for
club work as culls could be round as
often as good mduividuals. Thje
breeders sold these pigs to«the boys
under a contract that out of the first
litter of pigs farrowed by these gilts,
the club boy should deliver two to
the breeder as the purchase price for
the pig. These pigs returned were
let out in the same manner.
This piece of work by the first
I County Agents was the greatest stim
; ulus to hog production with a better
I quality than any other single move
■ ment. »From this first brood brought
j in, farmers from all parts of the
: county secured their foundation
| stock and bred up their herds until
j now practically every hog in the
. county is pure bred or a cross of
. pure breds.
When production increased to a
point of consideration in the agri
cultural development, then the ques
tion of profitable handling or hog
[ management arose.
Farmers have increased their fenc
' ing in order that crops for grazing
and hogging off can be produced
and utilized to the best advantage.
The general system is that rape, mil
j let, and Lespedeza and often some
other supplement green crops are
planted for grazing in spring and
summer for the sows and spring pigs.
No pigs other than spring pigs are
carried oyer during the summer, but
are butchered for the local market
or sold as feeders, of fed for summer
sale to packers.
These summer grazing crops sup
plemented with, such feeds as corn,
tankage, skim milk and waste pro
ducts from the farm, carry these pigs
in a growing condition until early
fall, at which time small catch crops,
usually early corn, Spanish peanuts
and field peas, or sweet potatoes
takes them to the time when the
large fields are ready for them.
These fields are usually planted '
to corn with velvet beans in the row i
and North Carolina peanutd between j
the rows. In such instances, Soy ;
beans takes the place of either the ■
peanut or th? bean. The pigs eat i
peanuts first as it is a preferred diet
night en route from the Methodist
conference at Macon to their home
in Douglas.

Drink Water If
Kidneys Hurt
Take a tablespoonful of Salts if
Back pains or Bladder
bothers.
Too much meat may produce urie
acid, says a well-known authority, who
warns us to be constantly on" guard
against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like lumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back, or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder
is irritable, obliging you to seek relief
during the night; when you have severe
headaches, nervous ami dizzy spells,
sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheuma
tism in bad weather, get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts, take a tablespootaful in a glass of
water be,fore breakfast each morning,
and in a few days your kidneys" may
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to help neutralize the
acids in urine so it is no longer a
source of irritation, thus often ending
urinary and bladder disorders.
.Tad Salts is inexpensive and can not
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink, and nobodv can make
a mistake by taking a little occasionally
to help to keep the kidneys clean and
active. Drink plenty of wafer at all
times.

especially in the fall, but by early
' spring when the peanuts are ex-
I hausted the beans have then soften-
I ed and are very acceptable to Mr.
Hog. By springtime the majority of
! these hogs are ready for the market
! and may be sold or fed for later
selling. However all these are dis
posed of during the spring, and the
pigs of the previous fall farrows
which have also gone through the
j fields are disposed of during the sum-
I mer in one of the ways before men
| tioned. The old charcoal mixture is
' kept before all of the hogs at all
times. The herds are watched closely
and if cholera appears a double
treatment against cholera is given.
| Few farmers make a practice of
treating all hogs when small as an
insurance against cholera. We have
practically no trouble from other dis
eases.
-p -appearsa
In 1919 the supply of hogs was
great enogh for local buying pens
to be established and traveling buy
ers were in the county throughout
the winter season. Through this
method of selling the farmer was re
ceiving two to three cents a pound
under the market. Then the idea of
building grading pens and selling
hogs co-operatively was presented to
the County Commissioners of Sumter
county by the County Agent dnd the
pens were erected at the expense of
the county. The first co-operative
auction salg was called in the town
of Plains, Ga. The farmers who had
hogs for sale came on the designated
morning but very few brought hogs,
being suspicious of such proceedure.
When assumed of a good price by
the County Agent they returned to
