A Purina Company meeting
at Dutch Town and Country Inn
Tuesday on swine production
featured a highly publicized
film on the swine industry.
Shown from five projectors
with a synchronized picture on
a single 30 foot screen, the film
showed the history of the swine
industry fiom the early settleis
m this country in the 1600's to
modern day swine production
According to Dr Richard
(Dick) Hollandbeck, Purina
product sales manager for
swine m the eastern region, the
film showed “some of the rea
sons you have for being proud
of raising hogs.”
Warren Elfrank, Purina area
director of operations for Penn
sylvania, said, “We think hogs
represent a tremendous oppor
tunity for this part of Penn
sylvania ” He noted that the
cost of transporting hogs from
the midwest where most of
them are grown to the East
costs about one dollar per hun
dred pounds.
The film emphasized that
hogs have played a basic role j
in the development of the na- j
tion Pork was a mainstay in
the diet of the early colonists
at a time when procuring food
was a major problem in the
new land.
As the settlers moved west
ward, they took their hogs with
them as a basic part of their
livelihood.
In 1871, the great Chicago
fire, one of the worst fires in
history, led to banning farm
animals from the cities and
gave farmers exclusive respon
sibility for animal production.
During the depression of the
1930’5, according to the film,
hogs gained a reputation as
“mortgage lifters ” Being one
of the few reliable sources of
income for farmers during the
depression, hogs saved many
farmers from bankruptcy dur
ing the time when many farm
ers lost everything.
The film emphasized that
hogs have “saved agriculture
during virtually every crisis.”
The film explained that the
type of hogs needed and grown
has changed drastically over
the years.
Almost from the beginning
of U.S. history, lard was a valu
able product and production of
fat hogs was emphasized. This
culminated with World War 11,
when the lard from hogs was a
valuable product in the war ef
fort
But after World War II con
sumers didn’t want fat so the
swine industry began a major
effort to change the type of
hogs.
Finally in 1964-65, a severe type hog in quantity. The con
price drop in the swine market sumer began to like pork again,
resulted in a sell-off of most nf according to the film.
