MINNESOTA LEADING
IN .TON-LFTTER WORK

What is. said by H G: Zavoral,
livestock specialist at University
Farm, to have been the heaviest
litter of Hampshire pigs in the
United States was raised by Ear
Lambert of Lincoln county, MINI.
Thirteen white belted pigs COM
posing the litter weighed 1887
pounds at the end of 1870 days.
Another outstanding achieve
ment of the 1925 ton-litter con-
test I'm Minnesota goes to the
credit of Clarence Kraft of Farm
ington, whose litter of Duroc
Jerseys weighed out the heaviest
of any litter of that breed ever
produced in the United States.
The combined weight Of the six
months old litter was ,4,121
pounds.
To Grace Luchsinger, club girl
of Lake Elmo, belongs the dis,
tinction of raising the heaviest
average Chester White litter.
There were 10 pigs and the aver
age weight was BAT pounds at
the end of $50 days,
Mr.. Zavoral is already making
plans for the 1926 ton-litter con-
test. Eighty-one filters in the
1925 contest in Minnesota
weighed a ton OF, more each.
Production and marketing of a
maximum weight in a minimum
time is the primary object of ton
litter work. Of nine two-ton
filters reported in this country
in 1925, Minnesota had two.
