Farmers Should Increase 1947 Fall Pig Crop
Iowa State College swine specialist L Quaife urges farmers to raise the 1947 fall pig crop due to a smaller expected spring pig crop and to rebalance production toward 60 percent pigs farrowed January through June and 40 percent July through December. He suggests using fall gilts or rebred sows and coordinating with buyers if needed. In Sheldon, the Archer family gifted their 12 room home to the Congregational Church for a pipe organ fund.
