Des Moines AP Gov George A Wilson told Friday that he asked all state institutions to use lard instead of vegetable oil shortening where practical. Data from the state board of education shows the University of Iowa used 120 486 pounds of shortening in three years 84 596 pounds vegetable oil products and 35 890 pounds lard. Prices for vegetable oil ranged 9 8 to 12 81 cents per pound while lard ranged 10 16 to 13 96 cents. Nutritionist Belle Lowe noted lard goes about one fifth farther than vegetable shortening. The board signified willingness to cooperate to boost lard use in tax supported institutions. The Iowa Swine Producers Association led by Rep. E J Morrissey asked the governor to promote lard usage.
