Pig Chain Formed In Martin County By 4H Club
The Vassell 4H Club received a 200 pound pig bought from Moye Duroc Farm for 65 dollars as the first gift. The plan is to pass two good gifts to other boys chosen by the supervisory committee. George T. Hyman will supervise the pure bred pig chain with support from J. H. Best, James Chance, and Mack Cherry. R. M. Edwards aids as county agent. The effort aims to spark livestock production interest among young Negro boys. Peanut production has risen sixfold over 35 years while cotton acreage declined in the 1940s.
