UTAH RANCHERS EMBARK
IN HOG-RAISING BUSINESS
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 3.—Duo to
the efforts of the federal food admin
istration in Utah, according to J H.
Mandertield, manager of the Salt
union stockyards, hog production in
Utah has Increased from 40 to 50
per cent during the lust twelve
months Many sections of the slate
which heretofore have paid little at
tention to the hog raising industry
have found it to he a profitable busi
ness. Mr. Mandertield says Many sec
tions. far from railroad lines, have
marketed many carloads.
"A year ago the hog run was fairly
heavy." Mr. Mandertield said in a re
cent statement. "Hut SO per cent of
the run. as far as the Salt Lake stock
yards are concerned, was front Idaho,
while this fall, up to date, the bulk
of the hogs came from Utah farms.
The records show hogs coming from
fifty to one hundred miles from rail
road points. These are hauled to the
railroads in trucks and shipped to the
yards.
"While the open market in Salt
Lake is only a year and a half old, the
educational feature has been one of
the most Important items. Good, fat
hogs are now finding a ready market,
and indications are that the demand
will continue.”
