Ohio Improved Chester.- 



This is a distinct breed that 

 resulted as an offshoot 

 from the Chester 

 Whites. It was origi- 

 nated by Mr. L. B. 

 Silvers, who developed 

 his herd by crossing 

 and selection until he 

 considered it superior 

 to the original Chester 

 White. He referred to 

 them as the Interna- 

 tional Ohio Improved 

 Chesters, and in 1891 

 an association was 

 formed to look after 

 the registration of the 

 animals. This associa- 

 tion is now known as 

 the O. I. C. Swine 

 Breeders' Association, 

 J. C. Hiles, Secretary, Cleveland, Ohio.

 Chester Whites in so far as it concerns a southern swine 

 industry. It will probably never enjoy the popularity that 

 has been accorded the Duroc-Jersey and Berkshire breeds.
