of red Duroc h ^ _ ^
proud of them for
good money. He
Comanche county,
so many of Hale county's best
citizens hail from, and where
people don't think anything will
do to fatten hogs on except Indi-
an corn. Mr. Hatchett knows
better now. He fattens his hogs
on milo maize and says it beats
corn as it does not heat and burn
out the hog as regular corn does.
Then it is more easily and cheap-
ly raised.—Plainview News.
Pink Hatchett lived in Erath
many years before moving to
Comanche, and has many friends
here who will join the Empire in
hoping the Durocs will thrive
and bring him large revenue.
