The pig club work can easily be combined with the

 pigs to raise in connection with the corn or grain crop, 

 keeping, of course, separate records of each interest and 

 charging against the hog all grain or other feed, from the 

 club acre. Careful records of observation, receipts and 

 expenditures should be kept in connection with the pig 

 club work and the project should cover at least twelve 

 months of work. 



The basis of award in this particular project should be 

 as follows : 



1. The exhibit of the hog and relation to its purpose judged 



by score-card 25 



2. Average gain per day or month 25 



3. Net profit and cost of production 25
