From the January, 19U issue
of Popular Mechanics comes the
following hopeful prediction:
"Our city of the future will be
without smoke, (test Or gases
from manufacturing plants, and
the air will therefore be pure.
The streets will be as clean as
our drawing -rooms today.
Smoke will be thoroughly con.
sumed, and the gases liber.

all building operations will be
effectUally shut in, to prevent
the escape of dust, and horses
will entirely disappear from the
streets. Out of all these things
will eome not,only commercial
economy, but bodily health and
spiritual joy." Well, thehorses
have disappeared from the
streets. .

the number of such herds up
to only four.
First herd to naeet "Elite"

year the Yorkshire herds of
William T. New of Stroud and
the Certified (SPF) herd of

also qualified for "Elite" sta..

successful in obtaining this ob.
jective.
The "Elite" policy, introde
uced in 1966, is designed to
encourage swine breeders to
develop and maintain herds that
meet high standards in respect
to performance, type and health.
All sows in an enrolled herd
must be entered on ROP test
and any that do not melte the
necessary score must be dis.
carded. Enrolled herds receive
periodic health inspections. A
program of satisfactory par.
asite and disease control must
be tarried out.
