They've been testing the tempera-
ment of these new hogs. The idea
is that temperamental. nervous
hog doesn't get fat enough to go to
market as quickly as another. If
they can prove this, the nervous
hogs will be excluded from further
breeding and ultimately the super
hog will be an animal which can
look OH life with tranquility and
good appetite.
When the new line has been eS-
tabliShed, and the Beltsville people
know what color, how many and how
good pigs he will sire. they will begin
testing his meat They will pound
it for tenderness, cook it and taste it.
And, in or 10 years, the stream

sort to a couple of eggs, sunny

1hLS hog Is going TO give DaCON
and ham and pork chops. instead OF
lard 1t is going to be non-sun-
burning, nimble on its feet, affec-
tionate and more or less immune
to nervous breakdoWnS. 1t is going
to be the beautiful sort of hog
you dream about of a night, If YOU
dream of hogs.
The evolution of this new nish
in hogs is a good example OF the
kind of work in animal architecture
they do at the Beltsville Agricul-
tural Experiment Station in hearbv
Maryland. You think up some new
kind of animal. give them a few
years to work on it-and they'll
probably deliver it That was the
way with the hog.
Pigs Is Not Pigs.
Pigs. you see. is not Just pigs.
There are fat pigs, which make good
lard but bum bacon: there are
skinny hogs, which aren't good for
much of anything: then there are
big pigs. which make good ham and
bacon and roasts.
When lard lost its value on the
market-being replaced largely by
vegetable oils-the American farmer
found himself with a lot of fat hogs
on hand which weren't much good
1t became apparent that what the
country needed was good bacon
and ham hog
One of the best meat hogs in the
world was the Danish Landrace.
The Danes were pretty cagey,
though. and wouldn't let any of
them out of their country. But in
1894 a Department of Agriculture
man talked the Danes out of "a of
them
The hogs we're brought to Amer
lea and IS of them went to Belts
vile. There the work began. The
Landrace had certain bad features
its back was weak, it was white
and therefore subject to sunburn in
our southern climes, its feet were
weak.
Double Chins Reduced.
So at Beltsville they started
breeding the Landrace to American
hogs chiefly the Poland China and
the Jersey. Since generation after
generation of hogs have been born.
studied from stem to stern. raised
to be little ladies and gentlemen
and established in their careers as
ancestors for the American super
hog.
The ne plus ultra of the breed
has the American hogs strong,
arched back-just laden with pork
chops and roasts; the Landrace's
long streamlined body and thick
legs, heavy with bacon and ham.
The number of double chins had
been carefully reduced to an abso-
lutte minimum. Hog jowls, you un-
derstand, are about the cheapest
meat on the animal and the de-
signers of the new beast decided to
do away with any surplus chins and
put that weight back in the ham
and bacon department.
The new hog has been given
strong legs, so he can get around the
pasture. The Danish hogs don't
have to move around much. He is
designed to grow quickly, reaching
the ideal market weight of around
200 pounds within a few months.
He carries little potential lard.
Designed to Stand Sun.
Instead of being white, like the
Landrance, the superhog will be red,
like the Jersey, or black like the
Poland China. Then he can stand

Mortality Rate

RuhIond Hopes l94l
Will Bring District
Second HeuIthiCenter

Hope that 1941 would see the pro-
vision of a second of the series of
health centers for care of WASH
ington's needy sick was voiced by
Health Officer George C. Rutland
as he reported that new low mortal
ity rates had been achieved in 1910
for three types of illness. Higher
mortality rates were recorded last
year in other instances.
In review of 1910, Dr. Rutland
said yesterday the outstanding
achievement of the Health Depart
ment was the opening of the South
west Health Center District officials
now are seeking provision of funds
and a suitable site for a second of
the series of health centers, to be
located in the lower northeast CEN
trail area.
Infant Mortality Lowered.
Records of the Bureau of Vital
Statistics, DR.. Rutland said. revealed
that infant mortality was reduced
to its lowest point in history here,
with rate of 45.9 infant deaths
per 1000 live births. The rate
was 48 in 1889 In 1886, when ma
ternal and child welfare services
first We're put on a fulltime basis,
the infant mortality rate was 70 per
thousand live births. The rate
dropped Sc per cent over the five
year period.
Maternal mortality also dropped
to its lowest point here with a re-
duction from 48 maternal deaths
per 1000 live births in 1889 to 81
in 1910.
Rates for both infant and ma
ternal mortality are lower than the
national averages, officials said.
Diphtheria Mortality Cut.
Health Department officials also
reported that deaths from diphtheria
had been reduced from rate of
08 per 100000 population in 1889
TO 05 in 1910.
However. Health Department rec
ordS showed increased deaths from
heart and kidney diseases, cerebral
hemorrhage and diabetes, that the
tuberculosis death rate increased
from 87,4 per 100000 population in
1889 to 882 in 1910; that the pneu-
monia death rate increased from
1873 per 100000 population in 1899
to 78 in 1910.
The birth rate was reported to be
the highest in century. For the
past calendar year it was repoEted
at 229 per 1000 population, as
against 215 in 1899 Last year
1913 births were reported.

OCHICAGO, July 11-(R)-The
government crop report, predict
ing bumper crops of grain to be
piled on top of record carryover
supplies, softened the wheat
market today.
Prices slipped as much as u
cent at times but the market was
supported by prospects that de-
spite burdening stocks the gov
eminent guarantee of at least
IS per cent of parity prices
would keep supply and demand
in balance.
Corn prices held about steady
despite the government report
which indicated the crop may be
about 100000, 900 bushels larger
than last year.
An increase in the estimate of
oats production had a bearish
effect on that market and prices
declined about u cent. Rye also
weakened with other grains but
soybeans and lard derived
strength from firmness of cot
tonseed oil. Soybeans were up
more than a cent before react
ing to fractionally below yester-
days close.

a labor dispute.
CLAUSES ELIMINATED
Then, by 159 to 81 and 220 to
$50, it eliminated the remainder
of the labor clauses reported by
its military committee. These
would have authorized the Pres
and mediation facilities to settle
ident to order strike-bound
plants to resume production, to
protect those voluntarily return
ing to work, to deny back pay to
strikers not going back, and
making it unlawful to prevent
by force or violence the return
of any workers to their jobs.
The only time the house voted
on a provision similar to any
part of the Connally proposal
was when it refused to insert a
declaration of policy saying
that strikes or lockouts in de-
Tense industries that impede the
defense program are contrary
to sound public policy" The
senate incorporated a declara-
ton along those lines in its bill.
PROBLEM QUOTED
Some members attributed the
big majorities against all sec
tons of the substitute to the fact
that the strike situation had
quieted down since the senate
passed its bill early in June and
also to pressure on members by
the CLIO.
Representative Smith (D-Va)
said "disgraceful situation"
had occurred in the last three
days, with Clio leaders besieging
house members in an attempt to
defeat the labor provisions.

activity, but Rep. McKeough

remarks reflected on the in
