Pigs now in the possession of the club boys throughout the county number about 260 pure bred pigs, about 45 of these will be disposed of by the club. Some 83 boys have been given pigs to raise since the club started in 1917, and 37 boys received pigs last fall with the understanding that they were to return two choice gifts to the association this fall.
