Growing Hogs Over Long-Time
Period Proves Most Profitable
“I believe that if a farmer is to
make money from producing hogs
he must make a business of it and
stay with it over a period
years.” says W. E. Huie. for 30
year a Clayton county swine pro
ducer.
Mr. Huie. in talking to L. E.
Farmer. Georgia Agricultural Ex
tension Service marketing special
ist, said he has arrived at the
conclusion that a hog producer
must adopt a long range swine
raising program to be able to keep
ahead of the fluctuating markets
and prices. He added that he has
made money some years and lo«t
money others, but he still has firm
faith in the hog industry in Geor
gia.
Mr. Huie attributes his good
.Nii ck to me practice he has of fol
lowing breeding and production
principles which allow him to itn
prove his herd. He also stressed
the importance of producing as
much feed at home as possible.
‘‘In my opinion." he said, “at
t,mes like this, when prices are
low. now is the tirrw for hog
growers to cull out and sell their
undesirable breeding stock and re
piece it with good stock. Person
Jy. this is the plan l follow on
my farm."

The writer by nature is disposed
to look on the bright side of things
but a survey of the present world
siluation reveals so much gloom and
darkness that the bright side is
heavily overshadowed.
In the various wars now in pro
gress. a tOial land area of 27,907,000
square miles or nearly One-half of
the total land area of the earth, al
ready is involved, and the total pop
ulation involved reaches the stag
gering total of 1.468-900.000 or more
than one-half of the total popula
tion of the earth.
In the last World War, it required j
four years for England and France
to subdue Germany, and they had
the help of Russia. Italy Japan and
the United Slates and numerous
small nations Today France and
England are fighting a greatly ex
panded and in many respects more
powerful Germany, with Russia a
partial ally of Germany, with Japan
openly hostile to F'rance and Eng
land, with Italy on the fence and
with the United States neutral.
Pondering these facts, it is diffi
cult to discover anv outlook for an
early termination of hostilitties in
Europe Nearly every indication
points to long protracted war. On
this point, David Lawrence's Unit
ed States News has the following to
saa in the last issue:
“Preponderance of informed
Washington opinion is that this will
be a long, probably a very long
war; that it will gradually spread
and deepen. Why, then, the I’resi
dent's peace interest? Why such
diplomatic activity? Because war
abroad is complicating American
ProMems. Because pressures arc
growing for the United States to
^ et int0 the armament race, to dis
'ocat-e peace time industry and ad
i ust to a war industry basis. Be

WASHINGTON
SNAPSHOTS
Nothing has been printed about
it, but more than one person in
the Capital is becoming curious
as to the source of opposition to
the Dies Committee.
Frequently, in recent weeks,
newspapers have carried stories
of this organization and that
adopting resolutions urging a dis
con tj nuance 0 f the Committee's
j nvesti g at } on 0 f Un-American ac
tivities
This continuing opposition is
unexpected in view of the House,
by a vote of 345 to 21, voting to
f extend the life of the Committee
for another year. Also, voting it
an additional $75.00 for expenses,
The 345 men voting in favor of
the Committee represent all walks
of American life. The group in
cluded Congressmen from the
farm areas, the small towns and
cities, as well as the metropolitan
centers.
Thus.' the question has arisen in
some minds; Who and Why are
certain organizations so opposed
t0 the committee.
No true American citizen wants
the representative democracy of
the United States transformed into
a Communistic dictatorship. To
argue that is foolish,
That granted, then finding the
answer to the Dies opposition
becomes more difficult.
One argument is that the Dies
exposures have been unfair and
have injured the reputation of or
ganizations which are purely
American.

But then it would seem that if
there were any question as to the
I Americanism of any organized
j group, that the members of that
g^oup would welcome an oppor
t un jty to clear up any question of
Un-Americanism which might in
some way have become associated
with the organization.
It is a good question to ponder,
and it opens up many channels of
thought.
Congressional life at times has
its lighter side. The joke at the
Capitol is now on members of the

trying to keep appropriations to
a minimum to avoid Increasing

Democratic party is successful in
November, it will be because of the
influence of the President, either as

neutral and out of the war, what do
