'■ : ; (> ;■ % g m a ;;'x I % ; %■■■■ Young People Took a Great Interest in Carroll County's Red Cross Pig Club. FAMOUS AS RED CROSS PIG CLUB Cotton County in State of Missis sippi Converted Into General Farming Section. IS HARD FOR COUNTY AGENT Hogs and Other Live Stock Now Mak ing Money for Farmers—During Short Period of Two Years Agriculture Revolutionized. Carroll county's (Mississippi) now famous Red Cross Pig club sent to the St. Louis market the other day 24 cars of hogs aggregating 1,690 head. Ten per cent of the net proceeds from the sale were contributed to the Red Cross. The best load of hogs In the consign ment consisted of 71 head, averaging 250 pounds, and sold for $19 a hundred weight. Other hogs, ranging from shotes weighing 63 pounds to well fattened porkers, averaging 279 pounds, sold for $15 to $18.75 a hundred weight. This novel Mississippi method of contributing to the Red Cross attracted a great deal of attention at the Na tional stock yards. Motion pictures of the various phuses of the marketing, both in Carroll county and at the sale in St. Louis, were taken by representa tives of the United States department of agriculture. But the Red Cross Pig club is only an incident in .a rather remarkable ex perience of this southern county dur ing the last two years. During that short period its agriculture has been entirely revolutionized. The transfor mation dates from the arrival of a county agent In 1916. Once Ail-Cotton. Carroll county, Mississippi, used to be an all-cotton county ; It did not grow enough corn, hay or meat to sup ply its own needs. Fanners gener ally were in debt and the conditions were as distressing as those in any Other section where cotton is king, and where, since the advent of the boil weevil, the inability to produce cotton economically has made cotton farming hazardous. In the fall of 1916 O. F. Turner was appointed county agent by the Missis sippi Agricultural college and the Unit ed States department of agriculture. It isn't an easy job to convert a cot ton country Into a general farming section, but the situation in Carroll county demanded an Immediate an swer. When the county agent talked diversification, farmers and business men told him that there was no mar ket for anything except cotton. This Is a stock answer throughout the South ; Turner had to disprove It. He answered it with stock. In December, 1916, he put on his first demonstration in the co-operative shipment of hogs, a carload picked up from the farmers of the county. He knew that if he demon strated that there was money in other things besides cotton. It would be easy to put the county on a safe basis with general food and feed crops and live stock as well as a reasonable acreage In cotton. The first demonstration was a success. Prior to 1916 not a single carload shipment of hogs, cattle, corn, hay or other farm products, except cotton, had been made from Carroll county. The county agent pushed the production of hogs and the growing of crops on which to raise the hogs, and then he pushed cattle, corn, hay and peanuts. From September, 1917, to the first day of October, 1918, Car roll county shipped 67 cars of hogs, 118 cars of cattle, 155 cars of corn, 50 cars of hay, 20 cars of peas, 25 cars of Irish potatoes, 2 cure of peanuts, 2 care of sweet pota toes BDd 1 car of sorghum seed, a total of 472 carloads of live stock and farm products other than cotton. The ship ments culminated in the trainload of hogs from what Is knov^i as the Car roll County Red Cross Pig club. Pig Club Propaganda. Late In the winter of 1917 the coun ty agent took up with business men cars of molasses. and with farmers In his county the problem of helping the Red Cross and at the same time helping hog produc tion. This was talked in every school house and In every rural church in the county. Practically every merchant, every hanker ;'In fact, most of the busi ness men, raised pigs for this ship ment. Of course, the vast majority were raised by farmers. Nearly 500 negroes belonged to this club. The shipment attracted a great deal of at tention not only In Mississippi, but in the St. Louis market. The bureau of markets of the United States depart-, ment of agriculture assisted in calling the attention of the buyers to these hogs. This interesting shipment is, there fore, but the culmination of a piece of constructive work accomplished by the close co-operation of the farmers of Carroll county with a good county agent. It has made the farmers ot Carroll county Independent ; they have "lived at home;" they have paid oft as many mortgages as in seven years previous ; they have made 50 per cent fewer chattel mortgages. Eighty-five per cent used to farm on credit; now only 15 per cent need this help. It has added to the food supply of the nation in time of need; it has revolutionized the farming of a county; It has made the lot of the average farmer of Car roll county infinitely more tolerable and has brought him a degree of economic safety impossible under a one-crop cystem.
