Need New Style Hogs
On Higher Lard Price
Until Ohio farmers adopt a dif
ferent style of hog, the price they
receive for hogs will be influenced to
a considerable extent by the amount
the packer can get for lard, and
lard prices in the early part of
have not been encouraging to
producers.

Ohio
A committee of people from
State University and representatives
of Ohio farmers made an investiga
tion of the outlook for lard in the
months immediately ahead. The
committee says 22 per cent of Ohio’s
farm income is derived from hog
sales, lard exports have dropped
more than 50 per cent, the 1939 pig
crop was the largest in 17 years, and
the amount of vegetable oils used as
cooking fats since 1935 has equaled
the amount of lard used for the
same purpose.
Columbus grocery stores were ad
vertising lard at three pounds for 20
cents and two lard substitutes at
three pounds for 48 cents on the
same day. The army post at Colum
bus bought lard for 7.25 cents a
pound and lard substitutes for 8.77
cents a pound during the same
month in 1940.
A survey among city consumers
showed that about one-half use both
lard and substitutes, one-fourth use
only lard, and one-fourth use sub
stitutes only. Two-thirds of the
rural homemakers use lard only, one
fourth use both lard and substitutes,
and about 6 per cent use only sub
stitutes.
It is reported that manufacturers
spent $2,250,000 in advertising vege
table shortenings in general mag
azines and over the radio in 1938.
The products have been offered to
buyers in attractive packages in con
venient sizes. Meat packers insist
on selling lard in large containers
from which the retailer dips the
amount wanted by the buyer.
Home economics specialists say
that lard has a higher shortening
power than hydrogenated fats used
as substitutes. Lard has a flavor
and substitutes are flavorless, and
the soft fat of lard is more easily
digested than hard fats. Lard sub
stitutes are affected by too high
cooking temperatures.

It appears from the study made
by the Ohio committee that hog
raisers and meat packers now’ are
flattering themselves w’hen they call
vegetable uils substitutes for lard.
Consumers have reached the point
where they are willing to pay con
siderably more for the substitute
than for the original product.
It also appears that to counteract
this trend, there should be an im
provement in processing, packing,
and packaging lard. Half of the
domestic market for shortening and
cooking fat has been taken by
manufacturers willing to advertise
their product and package it to meet
consumer demands. It is to be ex
pected they will take a larger share
of this market unless they have
more competition from pork produc
ers and the packing industry.

ODAY, as from the very foundation of our nation, Liberty is the American ideal, come down

It is this great doctrine of Liberty which distinguishes Americans from any who have not
had our long tradition of political and human freedom. And were it preached by tongue most elo

of human thralldom to a dictatorship, shall ever remain alien under the Stars and Stripes.
Never shall Americans exchange Liberty and Democracy for the slavery of authoritarian ideology.

Along with the new styles
vegetables have come new ideas
marketing. A thin coating of wax
used on rutabagas, cucumbers, pep
pers, and egg plants to make them
look better when they reach the
market. Another sound idea is
packaging less perishable vegetables,
such as potatoes and onions, in con
sumer-size containers, which may be
conveniently stored at home. Some
fancy vegetables are wrapped in
transparent paper.
Before the home-grown vegetable
season begins, housewives may buy
fozen foods which are packed and
frozen where grown, and shipped in
refrigerated cars. They are ready
for cooking, and come to the con
sumer’s table garden-fresh with no
loss of food values.
While refrigeration was lengthen
ing the fresh vegetable season, nu
tritionists were finding out about the
food values of greens. They found
greens to be important for their
calcium and iron, the greener the
leaves, the better the source of iron.
In some vegetables, as cabbage, cal
cium also is related to the depth of
green color.
Vegetables are rich in vitamins.
All green vegetables, and carrots,
sweet potatoes, yellow squash, yel
low corn, and yellow turnips provide
vitamin A. These along with to
matoes, furnish vitamin C, and most
vegetables contain some vitamin Bl,
or G.
While the per captia consumption
of all vegetables has increased in
the last few years, the greatest gain
has been made by the more succulent
vegetables such as lettuce, aspar
agus, celery, tomatoes, onions, broc
coli, and carrots.
Warfare against the Japanese
beetle in eastern states continues by
means of spreading a disease fatal
to the larvae of the insect and by
introducing insects that prey on the
beetle.
No experiments made in the Com
Belt indicate any advantage to corn
yields by plowing more than seven
inches deep. Each inch depth of
soil plowed means moving 150 tons
of soil per acre so unduly deep
plowing is a real waste of power.
In planning for better use of farm
lands in 16 counties in southeastern
and in western Ohio, 1,518 local
people devoted all or part of 4,378
days at meetings to study farm
practices in use and to make recom
mendations for changes.

In one test, a storm with high
winds occurred while a block of
trees was carrying fruit sprayed 15
days earlier. Check trees in the
block receiving no spray dropped
55.1 per cent of their fruit in the
15 days before the storm and 64.7
per cent of the remainder during the
storm. Sprayed trees lost an aver
age of 9.4 per cent of their fruit in
the 15 days and 33.3 of the remain
der during the storm.
The spray material may be mixed
with water alone or a small amount
of oil may be added. The effects of
the spray become most apparent five
or six days after spraying and may
continue for two weeks or longer.
The most benefit in holding the fruit
on the trees is obtained when the
fruit is sprayed about the normal
picking time.

ly as good results can be obtained
by hand if an attempt is made to do
a good job of spreading.
Straw and old hay can be used as
substitutes for manure if they are
spread as thinly as possible at a rate
of not more than two tons to the
acre. In this case, these substitutes
are less effective than manure but
are much better than no mulch.
The mulch has at least two w’ays
of aiding the new’ seeding. Extra
plant food in a quickly available
form is provided in the surface soil
where the plants can get it, and the
ground cover helps to keep the soil
moist enough so the plants can make
a steady grow’th.
The mulch can be applied effec
tively w’here seedings are made in
spring grains or where the seed is
sown alone. Manure can be applied
in these cases just before or after
the grass seed is sown.
