Local Duroc Man In Testing Program In keeping with the modern trend to measure the pork pro duction ability of his herd, Leon ard C. Stoehr, purebred Duroc breeder of Plattsmouth, has en tered 6 litters in his breed's of ficial sow-testing program, ac cording to word from B. R. Ev ans, Secretary of the United Duroc Record Association, Peoria, Illinois. Known as "Production Regis try," this official testing pro gram is now being followed by all major hog breeds and i.s based on weights of litters at 5G days. Testing pigs at this age is significant because extensive trials have proven that heavier 56-day weights mean heavier 180-day weights.
