Lean Hogs Can
Make Fast Gains

Hogs can produce lean, meat
type carcasSeS - - and still make
fast gains i. - -. under a breeding
and feeding system used by the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton.
We've shown that fast gains do
not necessarily mean fat pork, y
says w. L. Robson of the stations
department of animal science.
"Our method is to select or
breed for a relatively long, trim,
lean hog and feed rationS ade-
quate in protein, minerals and vi
tamins but not unusually high in
fiber"
Robson points out that syste-
matte inbreeding and cross will
give pigs a strong growth impulse
SO that up to usual market weights
they tend to grow more and fat
ten less.
Outstanding among litters re-
Gently produced at the station
were two pigs that weighed 227
and 213 pounds, respectively, at
1877 days of age. The dam was a
Poland-Duroc cross and the sire,
a Yorkshire.
After slaughter the heavier OF
the two pigs dressed out to 492
percent in the primal cuts of loins,
hams, N. Y. style shoulders and
bacon sides. Carcass length was 81
inches and backfat thickness only
l 3/8 inches. The second pic
dressed out almost as we'll Based
on actual slaughter weight, both
pigs were worth nearly S23 a
hundred.
Another litter from the station
was sired by an inbred Poland
China and out of Yorkshire-Du-
roc dam The litter averaged 214
pounds at 152 days. Feed cost per
100 pounds Of gain was S10.82.
Until they averaged 100 pounds
Robson fed this litter from ra
ton containing 60 pounds corn
Is pounds oats, 8 pounds meat
scraps, 10 pounds soybean oil
meal, 5 pounds ground alfalfa
Obs pounds B vitamin concen
trate, Obs pounds BIZ and anti
biotic supplement and IT pounds
minerals.
After the pigs weighed 12C
pounds Robson increased the cor.
and cut down on the amount OF
oats, meat scraps and soybear
oil meal. Other feeds remained
the same.
Quality of the pork from these
meat-type hogs was excellent Rob
ison says. The meat was tasty
low in Objectionable fat, and more
nearly met present consumer de
mandS.

Boys Also Enroll
In Home Classes

Many All club boys as we'll as
girls between the ages of 10 and
20 are enrolling in home furnish
ings projects for the coming sea,
son, according to Anna Biebricher,
extension home furnishings spe-
cialist at Ohio State University.
In the past, a number of boys
have repaired walls and floors and
have chosen furnishings for their
own rooms.
A bulletin, "Attractive Rooms
for the 4-H Club Member" gives
directions for making, choosing,
repairing and caring for furnish
ingS. Interested members can get
this bulletin and more information
from their county extension office
says Miss Biebricher.
Projects should include improve
ments needed by the club member
and the family. Suggested projects
are arranging room furnishings to
make work easier and rooms more
attractive.
Projects might include making,
repairing or choosing new bedding,
table linen, curtains or rugs. Other
projects might be refinishing
wood on old furniture or replacing
chair pad or cushion, repainting
walls or furniture or fixing up
closets with rods and poles.

Beef Prices May
Stabilize Soon

Economists expect no general
improvement in beef cattle mar
kets for the next few years but a
combination of factors will help
to support prices through 1858.
R. S. Dougan, economist in ex-
tension at Ohio State University
says demand for meat probably
will stay high this year. Consumer
incomes probably will stay up and
population is growing.
Economists expect Is percent
more cattle and calves to be
slaughtered this year than in 1852.
If dry weather hits the range area
this summer, slaughter could in
crease even more than Is percent
Dougan adds, There is hope
that beef prices will stabilize =
even in the face of larger slaugh-
ter. Hog producers indicated a Is
percent smaller pig crop this year.
They saved IL percent fewer pigs
last fall. Lamb and mutton pro-
duction probably will be down."

Several folks have inquired
about the need for respraying hay
fields for spittlebug following our
rains. We doubt the need for this
especially if BIC was used. 1t is
a fumigant and will have done its
work. If BHC dust was used the
rain probably helped do better
Job. However, we will keep check
ing and let you know by radio if
you need to respray.

A green worm with a white
stripe-the clover weevil has been
eating holes in clover and alfalfa.
They aren't serious and the spit
tlebug spray should help stop
them.
Tourist and resort area folks
will be interested in this. We have
available for your use six differ
ent plans for cabins, cottages and
motels. In addition We have a
booklet on suggested signs for
your camp or vacation spot. Play
equipment and planning chill

Army employees in the number of
time-and-labor saving suggestions
submitted and adopted by federal
employees.
Sharing in this efficiency awards

a part of the Department of Army
Ordnance Corps.
Although there were more sug-
gestions submitted by Erie en-
ployees in 1851, 218 in all, and 1873
in 1852, more suggestions were
adopted in 1852.
A total of ~ cash awards were

and 13 letters of commendation
sent out as compared to 81 cash
awards presented in 1851.
Benefitters of the suggestion
program are both the employee
and the Department of Army. the
employee receiving cash awards
improved economy and efficiency
and the government benefitting by
of operations.
Erie employees received S154O.-
So in 1852 and 1920 in 1851. The
estimated savings for 1852 were
$26,784.92, and $17,874.46 for 1851.
President Eisenhower has said

Government, from the President to
the file clerk, must be acutely
aware of the Importance of the
job to be done"
The Secretary of the Army,
Robert T. Stevens desires that all
federal employees. E'look for ways
and means to do our work faster,
better, safer, and cheaper" 1t is
therefore requested that on this
payday you give serious thought
to the improvement of your Job
operation or that of your unit and
forward at least one suggestion.
In letter to federal employees
he said:
'T am pleased to note from the
1852 report that our civilian en-
ployees and military personnel
submitted over $4,000 suggestions
for improvement and economy in
the various operations conducted
by the Department of Army.
''The fact that so many of our
people are thinking seriously about
improving the efficiency of our
operations is fact fully signifi-
cant as the saving of nearly
$11,000,000 which will result in
one year from the 10000 ideas
which were acceptable for use.
''In entering upon the very great
responsibility of directing the af-
fairs of the Department of the
Army, am fully aware of the
need for continuous and far-reach-

Police Chief
Urges Car Check

ITS wise to have your car
checked so you can depend on it,"
Jack E. Shelter, Chief of Police,
today made this statement in an
appeal to motorists to keep their
cars in safe operating condition as
one means of preventing traffic
accidents.
Pointing out that many accidents
are the result of poor maintenance
of the car, he offered the follow
ing three good reasons why We
hicle maintenance is all important:
Cd Vehicle Maintenance is eco
romical. It's case of can ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure" The vehicle that is kept in
good running condition costs less
, TO maintain
(2) Vehicle Maintenance is a mat
ter of pride Just as the skilled
craftsman takes special care Of his
tools, always has them in condi-
ton, so proper vehicle mainte-
nance can bring the satisfaction of
driving a well-performing car
(3) Vehicle Maintenance is a mat
ter of personal safety. This is prob
ably the most important factor of
all. 1t is important to drive car
you can depend Onto know your
brakes will respond - that your
light switch will give immediate
results and that your tires are in
good repair It is important to
know before starting on a trip that
the car you drive is ready TO do its
share in helping to prevent traffic
accidents.
"The safe habit of always driving
safe car" he said, "is important
because, when an emergency does
arise, your vehicle must respond
perfectly and Immediately to save
your life, or that of another"

Worning Ewes
Aids Lamb Crop

Drenching ewes when they are
turned out on pasture can boost
the value of lambs $1.50 or more
a hundred says Ralph H. Grim
shaw, extension specialist at Ohio
State University.
Even eve that looks healthy
can carry enough stomach worms
and female nodular worms to con-
taminate a pasture with more than
a million worm eggs day. A fe.
male worm can lay up to 5000
eggs a day.
Lambs that pick up these worm
eggs may get to market 4 to G
weeks late. Lamb prices can drop
$3.50 a hundred in a month.
Loss of by-product value may
total another 81 so hundred.
Grimshaw explains that nodular
worms enter lambs bodies with
grass. The parasite enters intes.
tinal walls and noduleS form as
the worm natures. No known
treatment will kill the pests at this
stage.
Phenothiazine is the best known
drug to use in drenching ewes for
nodular and stomach worms. Two
ounces per eve gives best results
Other controls of internal para
sites of sheep are: plan to have
plenty of grass for lambs to eat
divide pastures so lambs and eve.
can be moved from one to anoth
er, and provide plenty Of loose sal
and trace-mineral salt in some
cases.
