Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 99, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 March 1910 — HOGS SELL AT $10.25. [ARTICLE]

HOGS SELL AT $10.25.

John Bicknell of Mt. Ayr took in a car load of hogs here Wednesday for which he paid $10.25 per hundred pounds, which is the highest price perhaps ever paid for live hogs in Jasper county. J. W. Norman of Barkley tp., 'brought in a load of 13 head and was given a check for $336.25, which is surely a pretty good bunch of money for a few x head of hogs, and yet there is too much difference over what the producer receives and what the packers charge the retailer and consumer.
