FDR's New Deal. They are paying farmers to not raise hogs.
Of course you first you are raising a certain number, before they pay you to not raise them.
This cold December day with a raw south wind is the day the Government man comes to the farm to count the hogs.
The farmer, and his son have all the hogs in the old hoghouse.
They start pushing the hogs out the small south door while the government man hold the clipboard, and counts them.
Of course the farmer knew how many hogs he had, the count goes to that number, and the hoghouse is still full.
The hogs are booting it around the shed, and getting back in to avoid the cold wind. OK, the more the better, right?
At some time they had to empty the building out, so the farmer nudges his son, and the younger slips through the pigs, and slides an board over the hole, and the at last finish counting.
