RESULTS OF THE 1928 PIG SURVEY

According to the recent pig survey, Wisconsin has about 18 per cent fewer brood sows this spring than last spring. The average number of pigs per litter is 6.3, which is exactly the same as a year ago. The report also indicates that about 14 per cent fewer sows will be bred for fall furrowing in Wisconsin this year than last year.

A decrease of about 7 per cent in the spring pig crop of 1928 from that of 1927 for the United States as a whole and also for the Corn Belt States is shown by the survey. This decrease is equivalent to about 4,000,000 head of pigs for the United States of which over 3,000,000 represent the decrease for the Corn belt States. A decrease in the fall pig crop of this year from that of last year is also indicated.

This hearse is the last word in hearses and also is the only perfect three-way loading hearse made.
