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.
