Some planters have gone wild on
truck farming. Most of them have
stayed in their old condition and
still plant cotton. -Some few have
gone “hog wild” and they are mak-
money. “Hog wild” men will
never be “on the hog,” as shown by
a clipping from the Bryan Eagle:
“Messrs. Carson and Smith, of Col
lege, who recently shipped a car
load of hogs from their Brazos bot
tom plantation to Fort Worth are in
receipt of a letter from the packers
stating that the hogs were unusually
fine and brought 5 cents more per
hundred than the top of the market
for the best hogs sold the same day
in Kansas City and Chicago. The
letter clearly indicates two things:
First, that this section of the state
cannot be excelled for hog raising;
and second that Texans have a home
market that can be relied upon.”
