ALL LIGHT AND ROUGH HOGS
SHOULD BE KEPT AT HOME,
SAYS COUNTY AGENT. |
- County \Agent A. E. Gibson an
nounces that another co-operative hog
sale will be held in Dawson on Thurs
day morning, December 10th, and re
quests all who intend to put hogs in
this sale to have them on the ground
by 10 o’clock in order that they may
be weighed and graded in time to
ship on the train leaving Dawson at
10:30 that morning.
It is expected that a difference of
one cent a pound will have to be made
between the different grades on ac
count of the packing industry demand
ing such grading. In this event should
number ones sell for 11 cents twos
would bring 10 cents, threes and
roughs 9 cents, fours 8 cents. Stags
will be docked 70 pounds and piggy
sows 20 pounds.
It is hoped by those conducting the
sale that farmers will keep their light
and rough hogs at home, for the dif
ference the packers are making -in
grades appears to be unfair and not
conducive to promoting the hog in
dustry.
Mr. Gibson states that he was able
to sell at the last sale with only a
half cent difference between grades,
but several buyers have expressed
their intention of refusing to bid on
hogs unless the full one-cent differ
ence is allowed. One large buyer re
fused to Qld on the hogs at the last
sale becauSe this one-cent difference
was not made, and it is almost certain

twos, 135 to 165 pounds; threes, 110
to 135 pounds; fours, 90 to 110 pounds;

Mr. C. D. Marshall, the county's

week inspecting the various makes of
trucks and tractors for road work. The
commissioners are finding it expedient
to use road machines in connectoin

No county in the state has better
