Many Pig Clubs Started in Dauphin County Through the efforts of the Dauphin I County Farm Bureau, eight pig clubs have already been organized in this section of the county. Among the leading clubs are the ones in the Lykens Valley, near Millersburg, and Cenewago township, at Deodate. To day John Motter. a farmer from near Millersburg, will go with County Agent Niesley to purchase eight or nine pure-bred pigs to place In their club of over twenty members. Most of the communities in which pig clubs are started do not have pure-bred livestock, and through the co-operation of the farmers' boys and girls it has been possible to get started a large number of pure-bred pigs throughout the country. This will not only mean increased pork and fat, two things that the Government is badly in need of, but also will en courage the production of better live stock in Dauphin county.
