organized at Dayton in 1878, although the first volume of the 

 "Ohio Poland-China Record" was published in 1877 by Carl 

 Friegau and M. J. Lawrence. Twenty-six volumes of this record 

 have been published as a full set. The American Poland-China 

 Record Company was organized in January, 1878, at Cedar Rapids, 

 Iowa, pubHshing the first volume of- its herdbook in 1879, since 

 which it has published seventy volumes. The Central Poland-China 

 Association was organized in February, 1880, at Indianapolis, 

 publishing its first vol- 

 ume the same year. The 

 Northwestern Poland- 

 China Swine Associa- 

 tion was organized at 

 Washington, Kansas, 

 1 88 1. The Standard 

 Poland-China Record 

 Association was or- 

 ganized in 1887 at 

 Maryville, Missouri, 

 publishing the first vol- 

 ume of its swine record 

 that year, and has pub- 

 lished forty volumes 

 up to the year 1919. 

 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 19 10 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 19 19, had 

 published forty-one volumes.
