Farmers are diversifying but are irving trouble finding crops which :an be produced at any considerable let profit with any degree of cer tainty. There have been two large bumbling blocks in the way of the iverage South Carolina farmer un ter the one-crop cotton system first, 1/large 'fertilizer bill, regaruiess of irop production; second, having to iel! on a market not controlled in ihy large measure by supply and de nand. . The hog crop is not endangered >y these stumbling blocks, and aside rom these facts it has several oth ir points much in its favor, says S. ^".?ims, Extension Swine Specialist, vho .calls attention to the following iaejts. The crops grown for pork feed ire in the main legume crops which ?aturally build up the soil, If these :rops are pastured, over three 'ourths of the plant food, containned n the crop is returned to the oil. t can be readily seen therefore that >y a continuous system of livestock nan?gement, the soil can be enrich ie!; and at the same time, the far ner will have a sure source of prof il-without spending large sums for Commercial fertilizers. ..In regard to the matter of mar :eting, there are few crops which ire so nearly dependent on supply md demand for their selling pri?e is. are hogs. Slightly high. .' prices isually prevail in April and Septem ter, since in these months fewer ? logs are coming on the market. The najority of the hogs come from the /om Belt and are put oh the market n June and July and December and Mtw^^3^rt;;does.:_not pay to go.1 o>??^^?ir^^.?^ei^/in. order . to. inish pork' for the higher markets, ?ecause the difference is so slight, hough with the favorable climate travailing in our state for a contin lous growing season, we can come tearer catering to high price periods han producers in more rigorous cli nates. Other salient features of this preat crop are small initial invsst nent and rapid increase. Very little' ?quipment is needed besides shade md water. Cheap individual houses ire all that are necessary. The in rease ranges from 500 to 2000 per :ent per year, and the offspring each breeding age before they are i year old. Philippi News. Mr. L. A.
