Anamosa leaders elected to Jones County Swine Producers board
J H Ballou of Olin and Howard Zirkelbach of Center Junction won seats on the Jones County Swine Producers association board, replacing Harvey Manuel and Otto Danneman as their terms expired. The meeting in Anamosa covered the 1957 hog market and feeding advances by Iowa State College extension specialists, with economist Leslie G. Kral noting price depends on supply and meat demand is inelastic. He projected fewer hogs slaughtered next year, a price rise, and discussed advertising and a proposed 6 cent check off for pork promotion.
