Hog cholera, a virus disease
that affects only hogs, costs
the United States about $5O
million a year. It kills more
pigs past weaning age than
any other single disease. Eradi
cation of hog cholera has been
sought for many years by
swine and meat - producting
groups and State agricultural
and livestock health authori
ties
The cooperative eradication
program calls foi increasing
hog cholera vaccination im
proving the system for re
porting disease, outbreaks, co
oking garbage fed to swine,
quarantining and disposing of
infected and exposed swine
herds, disinfecting premises
and vehicles, and regulating
movements of swine to pre
vent spread of disease. An in
formation and education pro
gram is being developed to
increase public understanding
and insure the effective cooper
ation needed to eradicate hog
cholera.

Click raised only a few of
his pullets this year, but plans
to raise more of them next
year The pullets now in the
cages will be ke,r. for aoout 11
months of lay. Next yeai, he
will grow more of the pullets
on his own farm, or possibly
contract with another grower
to take care of the feeding
and management of the chicks.
When we remarked about
the high capital investment
in such a venture, Click said,
‘‘Well I haven’t lost any' sioep
yet maybe I will before it
there are more important
is all over but I think
things than worrying about
the dollar.”
It wasn’t a boast. It was a
statement of confidence that
the right decision had been
made and confidence in a fine
family which is cooperating to
make the venture successful.
