fruits and other products which cannot be used as well as the pr products ducts of Utah and Idaho for lh feeding of hogs and so that op opportunity op- op ity for the toe making of millions millions mil mu- lions of dollars a year in wages is left up to the farmers of ot the states of the western country countr Mr Hauser Hauser Hau llau- ser said Utah has the advantages of or most I of the western states inasmuch as asit asit asit it is closer to the market df the I Pacific coast an and anc 1 can place it its hogs s on the market with much less I freight and fe feeding ding charges so that I Ithe the profit would be considerably more Utah also has sufficient feed consisting of corn wheat barley baric and other products which make male excellent feed for hogs If the farmers of Utah would produce about hogs annually annual annual- ly they could ship them all aU to the Pacific coast market and ana realize approximately Instead of ot raising and shipping hogs to this market I understand that Utah at present does not even supply enough hogs for its own needs when Itco it co could ld a and c sh should uld be one of or the thefts greatest hog producing states in the U OPPORTUNITY IS HERE I The advantages to this state in this industry are unlimited There is a possibility if Ie the situation situation situation situa situa- tion is handled in the right way for forthe forthe forthe the hog business to become one of ot the greatest industries in in- inthe the state I he ho said There is not a farm that exists II that c can n bring an income as large as without the production of livestock livestock live live- stock as l it t can with Hogs and cattle are necessary They can be betaken betaken betaken taken care of without a gr great at deal of trouble and can feed on grass and other stuff that would go to waste he continued By going over over the bank hank records records rec roe of the farming district you youcan youcan ou can tell teU in a few moments the farmers farmers farm farm- ers era who have been raising livestock livestock live live- stock along with their crops and j i those who have not The storekeeper store storekeeper I keeper in most places can tell you OU I in a moment also as lie ne I Knows nO that the man mali with some hogs and anda a few dair dairy cattle comes in with the cash for his supplies while the farmers who raise only fa farm m cr crops ps owe the store SIX MONTH FARMERS The trouble with most of the farmers today is that they want to tobe tobe tobe be six month farmers they do not want hogs and livestock that will wm I keep kep ep them busy during all the year They seem to want to work onlIn only in the good weather It was brought out in the factfinding factfinding fact factfinding finding commission meeting that diversified crops would be the only salvation for th the farms under the reclamation projects It is my opinIon opinion opinion ion that intensified and diversifies diversified I farming is needed J If a a. man has an eighty-acre eighty tract and is not malting making money he should farm only forty acres or that I which ch he could take care of ot prop- prop I I UJ J If If the farmer did not care to go go into the hog business to any an great extent he could keep from six to ten around the tho place during the tho year yean J If ho had fairly good luck these sows would produce sixty to seventy young pigs which would make about a carload shipment af after atter at- at ter tet they had grown and should bring in about 1000 1000 to 1200 when sold Even if if the farmers did not go into the hog business on n any larger scale and each farmer kept I only a fe v sows sowa on the farm there j I would be bo hundreds of ot th thousands us o of 1 dollars if not millions coming into I the state each year ear STRESSES POINT I There is no getting away from fromI it this state should be ho raising more I hogs and must do so i if It expects to advance as the oth other r states do You have ever everything that is H needed for the industry and the opportunity ty has presented itself so so it is up to the farm farmers rs to get busy of the hog industry I In- In in speaking there that
