Larger Litters
Os Pigs Needed
To Boost Profit
This fact was brought out
this week in a report by R. O.
Williams, livestock special
ist of the University of Geor
gia Agricultural Extension
Service.
Pointing out how impor
tant it is to raise extra pigs
per litter, Williams used a
four brood sow unit as an
example. An average of six
pigs per litter from such a
unit can produce over 11,000
pounds of pork per year, fig
uring two litters per sow an
nually which is essential for
maximum profits. “At 18
cents per pound,” Williams
stated, “this gives a gross in
come of $1,900 or $485 per
sow.”
If 11 pigs per litter are rais
ed, which isn’t uncommon for
a good swine producer, a
yield of over 20,000 pounds of
pork and a gross income of
$3,700 can be expected. The
income per sow advances to
$935.
Williams cited tests at the
Coastal Plain Experiment
Station at Tifton which show
that only 25 acres of land,
carefully planned and plant
ed, is required to sucessfully
operate a four brood sow
unit of production. The live
stock specialist said an aver
age of 25 bushels of oats per
acre and 40 bushels of corn
per acre of feed produced on
on the 25 acres. Otherwise,
more land will be required
for a four-brood sow unit.
Are pigs from large litters
as good as those from small
ones? Williams says “Yes.” A
litter of 11 pigs at the Coast
al Plains Experiment Station
weighed as much per pig at
weaning as did pigs out of
smaller litters. They grew as
rapidly, averaging 225 pound
a head at six months of age
when marktted.
Williams pointed out'that
a detailed plan for the year
round management of a four
brood sow unit is available at
the county agent’s office.
Meeting Your Fence

ment and setting of fence
posts is one of the most ex
pensive operations of farm
ing. It presents a large ann
ual cost which must be borne
by the farming operation;
however, this cost may be re
duced considerably through
the use of durable fence
posts.
The Georgia Experiment
station maintains test in
stallations on which records
are kept relative to the long
evity of many different kind
of fence posts. In these test
installations fence post of
non-durable wood such as sap
pine, sweet gum, and yellow
poplar lasted a relatively
short time. After the second
year of service 66 percent of
the posts of non-durable ma
terial failed, and after the
third year of service 84 per
cent failed. This means that
after three years of service a
fence constructed with non
durable fence posts would be
of no value, and must be men
ded or replaced at a consider
able cost if it is to do the job
originally intended-
During the same period,
posts of durable wood and
posts of non-durable wood
made durable by the addition
of a wood preservative gave
excellent service and remain
ed sound. Other tests indicate
that these posts should con
tinue to last for ten to fif
teen years.
Posts of durable wood are
becoming increasingly diffi
cult to obtain with a corres
ponding decrease in quality
and increase in price. The
answer to our fence post
needs probably lies in the use
of preservatively treated
posts of non-durable wood.
These are being produced in
Goergia plants at the pres
ent time and may be pur
chased from hardware sup
ply stores, or from the plants
directly.
Another source of fence
posts ■ for. the Tandowner who
possesses some woodland and
a little ingenuity is the use
of small sized, unmarketable
trees. By making use of
farm labor to cut fence
posts considerable money
may be saved. -Some land
owners cut posts and then
trade them at the treating
plant while others have them
preservatively treated at a
community treating plant for
a small cost. This is an eco
nomical method of meeting
fence post needs.
Other landowners go one
step further in order to real
ize an even greater saving
and preservatively treat
their posts on the farm. This
procedure requires only sim
ple equipment most of which
is available on the farm.
The complete procedure
for treating with oil soluble
preservatives' is given in de-
