EVERY FARMER BUY A HAM Is the Slogan Going Throughout the Country Coal miners are the greatest ham consuming people In our country, but unfortunately the long strike took .place during the ham consuming months. They bought sparingly during the strike and the result is all packers have a surplus of hams. It will help sustain the market on hogs if every farmer will buy a whole ham, the same as they maintained the market on cotton a few years ago In the south when every one who could bought a bale of cotton. THE WHOLESALE PRICE OF HAMS 25 PER CENT LOWER THAN SIX WEEKS AGO A whole Ham is the most economical and appetizing meat you can buy. It will serve more meals per pound than any other piece of meat. There is no waste. Even the hock, when boiled, is an appetizing dish and the bone after all the meat is removed will make a most delicious soup. It will mean much if every farmer will buy a whole ham now. Don't wait until next week. Do it now, and you will help the hog which has benefited you most the past year. GEO.
