They averaged- 35 2 -pounds at weaning and 1.58 povindj: ip daily _ gain from weaning tp probing. Dams of fourth-genera tion high-line pigs were 24 pounds lighter breeding .and »Q pounds lighter when farrowing than low-line dams Thus, the nutrients high-line sows provide to their offspring during emb ryonic development and the sucfcling period would - cer tainly be less than those provided by leaner-than-av .erage dams to their offspring In the Yorkshire lines so far, the responses of wean ing weight and postweaning growth rate have been op posite to those in the Duroc lines. This probably due to the fact that the Yorkshires -used in, these studies tended to be' larger and leaner to .start with than the Durocs. A given change in fatness would thus have no immedi ate effect on the weaning weight and postweaning growth rate of Yorkshire pigs, while the same change would immediately become apparent in Durocs There has been no differ ence thus far in either litter ize at birth or at weaning etween the high and low ines, indicating that select- si b( Ji You save money with our Texaco "All-Star" heating oil service I GARBER OIL CO. 105 Fcdrview St. MOUNT JOY, PA.

Both Duroc lines averaged about ten pigs per litter at birth and 7.7 pigs at weaning in the fourth generation. A significant feature of these studies and perhaps of most interest to consum ers is the fact that high and low lines of both breeds are diverging rather steadily in several important car cass characteristics. Fourth - generation low-line Durocs averaged 4.8 percent less fat than high-line Dur ocs, and surpassed high-line Durocs by 4 1 perctnt in yield of lean cuts and by 1 - V square inches of loin eye muscle area On the basis of 200-pound pigs, those select ed for leanness would yield 8 2 pounds more lean meat and 9 6 pounds less fat than high-line pigs. Differences in carcass yields and measurements between high and low line Yorkshires are smaller, but they are pointing m the same direct ion as those in Durocs.

Some three-fourth of the cat tle in the treated herds were entirely grub free with no in dividual animal showing more than three grubs. All cattle checked in three of the seven herds were entirely grub-free. Observation -of the herds involved will continue thru the season to note heel fiy activity on summer range.
