The hogs used hi the two tests were not thiished well 

 enough for the market at the elosc of the test, so they 

 were put in with other hogs on peanut pasture and 

 finished for the market. They were later shipped to 

 the Birmingham Packing Company at Birmingham, 

 Alabama. 



Financial Statement. 



The hogs used in the test in 1917 were valued at 15 

 cents per pound when the test was finished, as that 

 was the price on peanut hogs at that time. The local 

 price for peanuts was 6 cents per pound, peanut hay, 

 -1^15.00 per ton. Local prices for labor are used in the 

 financial statement. The same values are used in mak- 

 ing the 1918 financial statement.
