The total weight was 1236 pounds an average or close to 176 pounds to the pig. and they sold at 11 cents on foot The most important item in this re cord of farm production was the fact that these pigs had been allowed to hunt their living from the stubble, and at no time were they inside feed pen. More Sherman county farms can be made to do as well. Moro Observer. Today H. F. Tash, W. G. McCarty. Fred Ashbaugh, C. E. Jones, and O. Kelthley returned to Heppner.
