Ray A. Kiser says that the endless chain pig club in
Mecklenburg County is proving to be a great boon to the people also. This club
has been underway over there now for three years, and the boys have grown out
nice hogs. Purebred gilts have been passed on to other club members, and local
farmers have been supplied with pork animals for a family meat supply.
The people of the county are having nicer and better meat on
their tables because of the better hogs in their pens. These hogs were improved
through the work of the endless chain pig club. The Mecklenburg 4-H club
members met with those from Cabarrus County the other evening, out at the St.
John’s Lutheran Church near Concord. There, prizes were awarded for the good
work done in growing and exhibiting their pigs this past season.
