Top Hog States Cut Cholera, But Net Gain Small The top five hos-produdflg States cut the number of hog cholera outbreaks in half last year, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Min nesota, and Missouri which together market over 60 per cent of the nation’s hogs reported only 295 confirmed outbreaks of hog cholera for the fiscal year ending June 30, compared with 564 report ed during the previous fiscal year. Three other States also showed a considerable drop in the number of confirmed out-, breaks. Alabama, Florida, and Ohio reported only 68 con firmed hog cholera outbreaks last year, compared with 166 the year before. However, sizable increases in some other States brought the total number of confirmed outbreaks for the entire coun try to only slightly below that of a year ago 1,108 versus THERE’S A PURINA CHOW FOR NEARLY EVERYTHING THAT WALKS OR FLIES!
