Hog Disease Won’t Affect Swine Show at State Fair
Des Moines reports the vesicular exanthema epidemic will have little impact on the Iowa State fair swine show. Supt. T. M. Duncan of the swine department, from Columbus Junction, expects about 2,500 hogs exhibited. An all-Iowa show results from a state rule banning out-of-state hog shipments, likely reducing exhibitors by 200 to 300 versus 1951. Duncan says the VE outbreak won’t hurt the event. Secretary Clyde Spry notes the main regulation is the ban on out-of-state hogs, with most midwestern fairs following similar rules.
