Mr. J.C. Barbour, who lives on Benson Route One in Elevation township, was here yesterday and called to see us. He informed us he had killed this season 2,727 pounds of meat from 14 hogs. He says that with plenty of corn, peas and potatoes he can make plenty of meat even getting good results from feeding scrub hogs.
Mr. Barbour says that from $59.90 in 1020 his taxes increased last year to $77.41 of which $42.48 went for schools.
