Cabarrus Swine Did Well at Sandhills Fair, Oct. 31, 1925

Cabarrus Swine Make Good Showing at Fair. . . Local Swine When Taken to Pinehurst Win Number of Prizes—Many People Attend

Persons who attended the Swine Exhibit at Pinehurst in the Sandhill Fair Thursday returned to concord much elated over the showing Cabarrus County entries made in the show, which is considered one of the best in the South.

A number of the farmers had been reluctant to enter their swine in the show and, but for the fact that the officials sent two trucks to Concord to take the pigs there, it is probable that there would have been no entries.

Cabarrus County prizes totaled $176 and owners are planning to make their entries more numerous next year and bring home more of the ribbons.

The showing of this county is considered very remarkable due to the fact that two of the best herds in the United States, the Clemson College Herd and the Sycamore Farm Herd, were on exhibit. Swine on exhibit from Cabarrus were returned to the county today.

The following places were won by Cabarrus exhibitors:

Aged Boar Class, four entries—W.H. Brafford and Son won third on Polly’s Champion which took first place in the Cabarrus Fair.

Junior Yearling Boar, five entries, A.H. Litaker took fifth place on Margin 2nd.

Junior Yearling pigs, eight entries, Dr. J.V. Davis took fifth place on Bell’s Leader. A.H. Litaker took fourth and seventh place and W.H. Brafford took 8th place.
