Which Is Best Purebred or Crossbred Hog Breeding Strategy
MOULTON. John Johnson of Lawrence County shifted from crossbreds to purebreds over two and a half years. He cites rising purebred demand, thriftier growth, and a market for breeding stock while keeping options open for slaughter hogs. His 80 acre farm features a central farrowing house with six pens, farrowing jackets, and an insulated shed. Johnson argues saving pigs per litter matters whether producing purebreds or crossbreds.

Soil Conservation Notes on Button Clover Stand near Danville
A reader notes a thriving volunteer button clover stand on Phill Orr’s farm near Danville expected to reseed winter crops. The stand originated from seed produced in spring 1954 and was planted last July to bolster soil cover behind cotton. The field adjoins the Hartselle Danville highway near the Hopewell Baptist Church sign. Other items include local sales notices for a 1952 Dodge truck, Ford parts, a 28 inch bicycle, 40 acres with two houses, quilting and crochet offerings from area residents.
