Raise a Pig movement urged by government letters in 1918
The government urges farmers to join the Raise a Pig Club with letters from James Thompson urging support. The missive argues hogs are vital for wartime meat, notes hogs ship without refrigeration, and suggests local ordinances, media outreach, and coordination with the U S Department of Agriculture. It highlights Hamp shire and Tamworth breeds and praises pork production efficiency.
