CHICAGO (U P.) The Outboard
Boating Club of America says thr
post office will help you check the
gap hi your spark plugs if you
don't happen to have a conven
tional feeler gauge to run between
the electrodes.
The gap should be from 020 to
.025 inches wide, it says. Since sti
ordinary V. S. government postal 1
card is approximately .010 inches ;
thick, boating enthusiasts, or just ,
plain motorists, can get a fairly
accurate reading without much
trouble merely by slipping two
cards through the gap.
And, the organization adds, ' if
you can split a postcard in half for
the extra 005 of an inch, you're
welcome to try."

Hybrid Hogs Show Farmers
How To Produce More Pork

MAKING FARMERS CROSS Landroc crossed sow, ready to cross.
AP Ncwsfeatures
LAFYETTK. Ind. Hybrid hogs
developed at the Purdue University
experimental farms are showing
farmers how to get more pork out
of every porker.
The Purdue farms have produced
one special breed with pigs weigh
ing an average of 212 pounds at
154 days of age. Purebred Durocs
used for comparison weighed 188
pounds at the same age.
Not only do the Purdue hy
brids gain weight faster than
ordinary breeds, but their car
casses have a higher percentage
of prime meat. That means
more money for the farmer and
cheaper pork chops for the con
sumer. The hybrid pigs were developed
by continued inbreeding mating
of relatives -among descendants of
purebred animals Tne resulting in
bred hogs were mated with similar
ly inbred hogs developed from a
different purebred stock.
Kxperimenls at Purdue during
the past eight years have shown
that the inbred pigs themselves are
not suitable for commercial pro
duction they decline in productiv
ity as inbreeding progresses. But
when two different inbred lines are
crossed, the result me porker.-, have
all the vigor and productivity lost
through inbreeding, plus an addi
tional something called "hj laid
vigor".
It's this "hybrid vigor" that
makes the h In ids superior to
purebred hogs.
Purdue research has developed
two inbred lines of hogs which
are rrossed to produre the hy
brids. One of the lines, the
"White King." resulted from In
tensive inlirerdlng among de
scendants -of purebred Chester
Whites. The other line, railed
the "Landroc," was produced
by inbrerding descendants of a
cross between Durocs and the
Danish l.andrare biieoii hog.
Kxpei intents both nl Purdue and
at other experimental stations point
to another use lor inbred lines.
Hot only can two inhrod lines be
crossed to produce a new and bel
ter kind of hou. hut an inbred line
can improve existing purebreds by
selective mating.

LINCOLN, Neb. (U.P.) The
! idea that the eosl of living varies
sharply from city to city doesn't
carry much weight with the busi
ness research bureau at the Uni
' versity of Nebraska,
i Living expenses are 12 per cent
I lower in New Orleans than in
'Washington, but those are the two
extremes, the bureau reported. In
i 34 cities studied, tlte "average dif
ference" amounted 1o less than
three per cent. Dr. Edgar Z.
' Palmer, bureau chief, said. Food
i costs varied about llv per cent.
! "It seems to make little differ
j ence what city we live in." he said,
i "Living costs too much in any, and
there is not much choice."
Population appears to have no
effect on living expenses, Palmer
isaid. Seattle. New York, Milwau

the expense sheet, and Indianapo

according to Robert J. 'Howard,
chairman of the New , York tate

A better underslsading of the
interdependence of agriculture and
urban life is developing every
where, he said, as townspeople
realize that land cannot be main
tained and production continued if
the farmer "goes broke". '
"Conservation is being taught in
schools," he said. "Libraries and

and conservation.
"Townspeople as well as farmers
are attending farm conservation
