SILAS B. AKIN DIED HERE
SATURDAY, JUNE 13, BURIED
IN MOODY! ON SUNDAY
The many friends of Mr. Silas 1
B. Akin were shocked and deep-
ly grieved to learn of his unex-
pected passing at an early hour
last Saturday, Junel3th. He ap-
parently died in his sleep at the
home of his niece, Mrs. Brazil,
in McGregor, where he had been
making his home for the past
several weeks. He had not been
in the best of health for the past
year or more, and had recently
recovered from surgery in a
Temple hospital. His condition
however, seemed to be improved
and his friends were hopeful for
early full recovery."
Mr. Akin for many years had
been connected with the Santa
Fe Railroad, and had served as
agent at Crawford, Moody and
at McGregor, having retired
from active service about five,
years ago. He was a member of
the Methodist Church in McGre-
gor, and was well known in
Masonic circles as an accom-
plished Mason in the ritualistic
work of all the Masonic bodies
and had served in every official
capacity in the McGregor bodies
at different times. He was also
a member of the Scottish Rite

Some months^ back everyone
felt that there would be some-
what of a price break in spring
hog prices before it started to
- A, climb again by late
summer. But, this
didn’t pan opt.
Those prices have
1 held all along.
r The reason for it
was the number of
Gg sows and gilts that
were actually with-
held from breeding. Right now it
looks like this summer’s slaugh-
ter will be at least fifteen percent
BELOW a year ago.
So, with an outlook like that,
it’s sure going to pay you to push
those feeder pigs and hogs to
market weight as fast as you
can. So you can get them to that
late summer or early fall market
while these prices are favorable.
And when I say “push” them up
there fast, I’m talking about
that big push they get with
SUNGLO 14% Complete Hog
Pellets, or SUNGLO 36% Hog
Supplement Pellets if you grow
your own grain.
Here are feeds you can really
be sure of. They’re tailor-made
for feeding here in the South-
west, to insure those hogs get-
‘■"'Vflgy
; A
Everything they NEED is in
these SUNGLO Hog Feeds, and
in just the RIGHT BALANCE!
When you feed SUNGLO 14%
Complete Hog Pel-
lets, even the grain
is added, so there’s
no guesswork any-
where along the
line. On the SUN-
GLO 36% Hog
Supplement Pel-
lets, you can feed it along with
your own grain, free choice, and
almost see that weight go on
overnight.
By the way, the most critical
period in the life of a pig is dur-
ing the gestation period and I
don’t think I can over emphasize
the importance of feeding those
sows and gilts on SUNGLO Pig
Starter, starting as soon as they
are bred. If they’re already bred,
its still a mighty good thing to
pick up with this feeding right
away. It’s the best insurance I
know of bigger litters and for
strong, healthier pigs ready to
start making fast gains from
birth. But why not, next time you
get the chance, drop by our place
here and let ns show you just
what a really big difference there
*is in this whole complete line of
wonderful SUNGLO feeds.
\
ting everything they need in a
ration. Like some of those small
but mighty important trace min-
erals and vitamins lacking in
erops grown on these mined-out
and cropped-out soils we have
around hero.
