In 1896 the South- 

 western Poland-China 

 Record Association 



was organized at Ripley, Tennessee. Two very small herdbooks 

 have been published, including approximately two thousand regis- 

 trations. In 1910 this association merged with the American. 

 Several hundred thousand Poland-China hogs have been regis- 

 tered, the American, Standard, Central, and Ohio associations 

 each doing a large business. Some years ago an effort was 

 made to amalgamate all the different Poland-China associations 

 into one. This resulted in the consolidation in 1905 of the 

 Ohio and Central Poland-China associations under the name of 

 the " National Poland-China Record," which, up to 1919, had 

 published forty-one volumes.
