s¥L*3% * * * * ¥ Noble County Colt Club By Robert Harper The Noble County Colt Club was organized in 1932, We then had only six members, and at the end of that Year two dropped the work, so the responsibility of getting new members fell to the remaining four. This year we have six new members, an increase of 150%. We are trying to make this club one of the largesti of it’s kind in the 'state, and with the co-ope’ration of several we c:on. The colt that 1I had entered last year, in the Gold Medal Colt Club died about two weeks after the ow, S 0 I had to get another. The colt I am feeding now is a Chestnut sorrell filly colt. She was born the 3rd of May anq entered into the club at two months of age. She and her mother were turned ongt on pasture at night and get about 25--poun 's of corn and oats each day. : ‘When the colt wasg about ihree months olq I began training he: for show. ' She has been broken to lead since she was about three weeks old. I have this colt entered in the Gold Medal Colt club and hope to get a medal of some king from her next year. She has gained good thu: far and I believe that if she keeps on doing as she has been, I will be able to show her in the Gold Medal Class next year, The future of the Noble County Colt Club is very bright, in that quite a number of farmers are again lLeginning to raise some colts, anq that we already have several possib lities in view for the coming year. I have been a club member for seven years and I find that this year has been the most beneficial to me. Nearly every boy and girl in the county could be a club member if given the right cooperating from their parents. So, I as a club leader of the Colt club wish that I could ask every farmer who has a boy or girl eligible to be a member of the 4-H Clubs, anq has either a suckling or yearling cclt on his place, to let the boy or girl enter it in the club. <Club work might help them in finding out what their life work is to be or prepare them for ~umething better.

How I Managed My Pig ... ... By Sarajane Mahnesmith « I started this year in the pig club with one pig. I fed the pig ground oats and barley, ear corn, skim milk and pasture. . The lot contained about one quarter acre of allfalfa and blue grass. There were no trees in the lot so I built a frame ten by four feet and put carpet over the top. My pig wasn’t very hard to tame as I petted him while eating. I gave him ga bath about once every two eks, The first couple he didn'’t like but as it got hotter he liked them. : We had a lot of fun at our pig club meetings.. We had a pig club tour July 13 and then went to Skinner Lake for a potluck dinner. I am sure every one enjoyed the 4-H club picnic at Ligonier very much. I have been in club work for four years. I have enjoyed my club work very much this year and urge every boy and girl to join some king of a club ag they learn a lot in any of them.

Warhs Hog Buyers

Secretary Wallace stated that in several sections of the country local hog buyers small processors and cthersr purchasing five hogs for slaughter are reported to be deducting the whole or a part of the amount of thep rocessing tax from the regular market price quoted to the seller of, the hogs. : ' In reply to questions from correspondents who report the practice, Secretary Wallace said: “Country buyers and others who, is settling with the farmer make a deduction for the processirg tax on the bill of sale are penalizing the farmer and are tending to frustrate the declared policy of the agricultural adjustment act. There is absolutely no excuse for such a practice and farmers should r«fuse to seil to any buyer who makes oI proposes to make any such deductions.

“The open market price for live hogs is customarily established by the majority of persons who slaughter hogs and who will pay ‘h: iax to the government. They pav the full quoteq price for the live hog and in addition pay theg overurient the processing tax ouf of the proceéds from hog products. : “Processors therefore, who geliberately deduct the tax from bids based on the regular market quotations really. escape paying any tax at all. The sum they pay the government is offset by the deduction they make in the price they pay the sellers.’
