In 1915 Hendricks County, Indiana, has hosted U S Department of Agriculture experts for a year and a half to combat hog cholera. Officials say the program cut losses and boosted hog herds, with farmers feeling more secure and ready to expand pig production.
The Indiana County Agent reports 27,000 hogs vaccinated in Johnson county last year with about 4,000 head vaccinated by farmers. Serum cost exceeded 15,500 dollars for roughly 915,000 cubic centimeters. Vaccination reduced hog cholera over six weeks, especially in infected herds, while well herds saw near universal serum success. Leaders note county agents educate farmers and push preventive measures and scientific farming. A Morgan agitation for a county farm agent is mentioned with Purdue and other institutions cited.
