INDIANA SWINE BREEDERS. 



The twenty-eighth annual meeting of the Indiana Swine Breeders' 

 Association met in their annual session at the State House, Indianapolis. 

 January 5, 19U5. 



The meeting both in numbers and the interest shown was a surprise 

 to the majority of the members. 



All breeders know that the general run of swine business has been 

 dull, owing to the falling off in prices of hogs on the market, the scarcity 

 and high price of corn; but the two hundred members present seemed to 

 have the same interest and enthusiasm as they had when hogs were at 5 

 and 6 cents. This meeting comes after all the other associations have held 

 their sessions and talked over the fine and weak points in their favorites. 

 At this meeting the boys seem to delight in "jollying" each bther about 

 the good and bad points in the breed they championed. 



President F. P. Modlin, of New Castle, Indiana, called the meeting 

 to order at 10:30 a. m. There were about two hundred members present, 

 representing the different breeds of swine throughout the State.
