MORE PROOF .... [!pays tofeed PURINA
W. W. Link (right) discusses the hog situation with "Buddy"
Duncpn, his Purina Dealer, at the Link Growing unit.
Kentucky Purina feeder raises hogs profitably...
on
W. W. Link raises hogs from birth to market on concrete
on his 204-acre farm. near Henderson, Kentucky• A profes-
sional farm manager as well as operator of his own farm,
Mr. Link's hog operation is divided into three units...
a farrowing house, growing pens, and Pig Parlor. .....
"I've been raising hogs off and on for a long time," said
Link, "but never did they do as well until I built my Purina
Pig Parlor. I consider growing pens essential in raising hogs
on concrete, birth to market. It bridges the gap between far-
rowing house and Pig Parlor, adds flexibility to the multi-
pie farrowing schedule."
Produces pork for $9.80 per ewt.
Link's recent records indicate it took 3.05
lbs. of tbed to produce a pound of pork.
Feed cost was $9.80 l~r hundredweight,
figuring corn at $1.40 per bushel.
Whether you have a large or small hog
operation, there's a Purina Feeding Pro-
gram to fit your needs at the Store with

]Spirit.Advm:ate To Publish '
I Edition on 0 " Shenandoah Down
I I
Because of the magnitude of Jefferson .County s
newest and most modern business operalion---the Shen-
andoah Downs race track--which is to be formally dedi-
cated and put into operation May 1, work was started
last week on a special souvenir section of the Spirit of
Jefferson- Advocate to be delivered along with a regu-
lar issue of the newspaper prior to the opening of the
new $:1,000,000 race course.
This special edition will tell in picture and words the
story of the planning, construction and future opera.-
tional plans of the track.
This is the largest and most comprehensive business
construction project to take place in Jefferson county in
years. And because possibly only a limited few know
and realize the tremendous amount of planning, work
and money which has gone into a project which will
attract thous, ands of people into the county each year,
this newspaper feels that special recognition should be
given to completion and opening.
A host of special guests are expected to be on hand
for the track's opening including West Virginia's Gover-
nor, Cecil H. Underwood, and other high state officials.
All busine es and others who have had a part in the
track's planning and cconstruction, or who will have a
part in it's operations, are being invited to participate
in this special edition through either congratulatory
and commercial advertisements. Since considerable time
is required to plan and print this special edition, all
advertising must be in this office by not later than
April 18. Additional information on this special edi-
tion may be obtained by writing or calling this news-
paper in Charles Town at 222.
