J FOUH MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. Fabraary St, 1133 A Nichols1 Worth of- Comment On This and That IY HARMAN W. NICHOLS Unite' Press Feetw Writer Washintgon U.tO The lady pig now can lift her moot and call herself a queen. . She no long er has to worry about rolling over to the hog wallow to feed her family. You all will now please call the sow a lady! - The 'scien tists have fixed Harmon Nichols it up so that Oo on rooting for whatever, and not have to fret about another thing except the next litter. ' All of this was demonstrated at Prophetstown, El., in the heart of the hog country. It was the first showing of synthetic sow's milk. Stuff that contains terramycin, the same thing doctors give humans for the virus that has been kicking around. Increases Growth The sow's milk is called "terra lac" and is produced by a Brook lyn chemical firm. It has been used successfully to increase the growth and livability of young pigs. The show was put on at the 360 acre farm of Mrs. Evelyn Weber. Mrs. Weber got the idea of pepping up her pigs from her 17-year-old son, Rollin,. He read . about it in a scientific article on the synthetic milk. . . " " She decided to try the stuff and sent off for some. Mrs. Weber told me" over the country telephone line that she plans to produce 95 to 100 litters of pigs this year. That, she added. will mean between 700 and 800 good sized hogs this year for the market. "In the past," Mrs. Weber said, "I have been unable to send more than 500 to market. Maybe now I'll start to make some money." Mrs. Weber Is enthusiastic about her pig venture. 'Til make a go of it, too," she said. "And I won't lose any planting time, or .cultivating time, or harvesting time. Some body said this must be an awful lot of work. It isn't. ' Looking after 200 baby pigs at a time is no more trouble than 300 baby chicks. And there is more money in hogs than chickens. The only help I have is my son and one hired hand." Scandal of Neighborhood Mrs. Weber, who weighs all of 108 pounds, less than a junior hog, told me she was the "scan dal of the neighborhood" when she- started In the small pig bus iness. . "I put out a sign which said, no visitors,'" she said. "I didn't want anybody coming in and giving my pigs a lot of germs. I put windows around the hog pens, in case anybody got in, so they couldn't get near the ani mals." . . " Air Force Jet Plane Refuels at Airport ; An Air Force F-88 jet fighter stopped briefly at the Medford airport here yesterday about 2 p. m. for refuelling. ' Capt. Douglas Coleman, com manding officer of the Air Force refuelling detachment here, said the speedy craft was being ferried from Moses Lake Air Force base in Washington to Hamilton field in California. Resolute People Needed, Pastor Says at Banquet The need for more people with resolution was stressed by the Rev. Vernon Wilcox, pastor of the Church of the Nazarene, in a talk Tuesday night at the fa ther and son banquet of First Methodist church. "Today nobody much wants to do the hard job," he said. The church is a "mighty ar my" if it would "shoulder its guns," the minister said. It could do much if it Wanted to tackle it, he declared, but "it is 1,000 miles behind the front lines." Mr. Wilcox also pointed out the importance of perspective and humility. It is important to see what is valuable over the long run, he maintained, for "the long run is the run we're on." Good Business "It pays to serve God it is good business," the minister con cluded. About 120 fathers and sons attended the banquet, which was served by circles of the Women's Society of Christian Service. Mr. Wilcox also played piano selections. The Methodist men's quartet sang. Members were Dr G. A. Dierdorff, Herbert Daniels, W. T. Frost and Al Filatreau. Dr. J. S. Heatherington was master of ceremonies.
