Bdvidere Youth
Qualifies For Top
Duroc Prize Money
Clarence Chappell, Jr.,
Has 12 of His Litters
Eligible In Contest
Clarence Chappell, Jr., of Belvidere
has climbed toward new fame in the
purebred Duroc world when 12 of his
litters qualified in the national Duroc
Ton Litter contest. One litter was
Ist 'heaviest in the contest, weighing
3,715 pounds. His 12 litters averaged
2,443 pounds.
The 3,715-pound litter was sired by
Wavemaster’s Pride. This boar rank
ed 6th as a ton litter sire, having 4
litters that averaged 2,827 pounds at
180 days of age, while Model Blend,
Chappell’s 7th place ton litter sire had
4 litters which averaged 2,190 pounds
at 180 days of age.
Farmers sell hogs by the pound so
purebred Duroc breeder Chappell is
breeding hogs that produce pounds
fast and efficiently. That’s why he
entered the national contest with h's
spring litters.
The United Duroc Record Associa
tion at Peoria, 111., is offering $3,000
in prize money this year for win
ners in the contest. Anyone raising
purebred Du rocs was eligible to enter
the contest last spring. Chappell’s
litters that qualified are now eligible
for some of this prize money.
The contest is sponsored each year
by the United Duroc Record Associa
tion to promote the kind of hog that
makes the breed famous, the hog that
gains faster on less feed. Several
hundred official ton litters qualify in
the breed each year. Last year a lit
ter in Kansas weighed more than 2
tons at 180 days of age. Petracek and
Kraft of Jennings, Kan., raised that
litter. More important than a high
weight though, Secretary B. R. Evans
said, is a large number of litters that
beat the ton mark -at 180 days.
LARGEST CHRISTMAS TREE
North Carolina displayers the
“world’s largest living Christmas tree”
each Yuletide at the coastal city of
Wilmington. The tree, a 75-foot-high
water oak, is decorated with Spanish
moss, and some 4,000 colored lights

in making and carrying out a sound
farm and home plan for the follow

, toward an economic set-up, debt-free
and independent or with credit from
I private sources.
Loans are made for production pur
poses—to buy livestock, equipment,
fertilizer, lime, seed, insecticides, or

to buy family-type farms or to en
large or develop inadequate farms; for
’ farm housing—to construct, remodel
i or repair houses or other farm build
! ings. Since the agency does not com
