Show HOGS IN UTAH The majority of farmers in Utah do not appreciate fully the importance import-ance of the hog industry in our livestock live-stock markets. Few people realize that during 1921 the people of the United States ate as many pounds of fresh and cured pork, not including includ-ing lard, as they did of all other meats. The farmer cannot go wrong in breeding Jiogs of the rights types providing that he studies the market mar-ket and works economically. All hogs are not equal in adding to the profits, only those types that are in demand will be found profitable. profit-able. The type of hog to be used depends on the preferences and conditions con-ditions of the breeders. The breeder to be successful must cater to the market standards. On the coast, fish has been in competition com-petition with pork. Fish has become be-come costly and scarce because of the wage for workmen, lab ir in th ! coast, industries is high. The peoph? of the Pacific coast are now consuming con-suming lean pork for economy's sake. Fuel is the big item on the western west-ern coast. People, to be efficient in labor cannot live out of a paper bag. They must be well fed. In order to cook the diet with economy they have turned to lean, cured, or fresh pork. Utah can have all of this trade if she works to that end. The increase of staple industries on the coast will always give a greater demand for meat as they must include in the diet what is necessary to make efficient workmen. work-men. Utah has the chance to grow the feed and produce the pork that is consumed on the coast. S. S. Daugh-erty Daugh-erty in Utah Farmer. |
