that by other iowa state university officials interested in the department to explain to him actually what is going on here to see the students breaking from the crowd possibly moving to a better advantage point to get a look at mr. crews job do you see the security of people walking along beside the cars hurrying the lead car telling them to move along cap as we look down the street looking west it's about as a solid mass of humanity as we have seen for a long long time it is and they are what you might say interested in this visiting delegate from another country it shows that our educational institutions are interested in exchange of information exchange of people learning more about how the people live now as we look north heading south as a car passes come by the television studios we will get a glimpse of the official caravan as it moves along the elite car moving toward us moving toward our television camera security cars on each side as we mentioned the practice football field off to your left where as he passes by an enclosure would be the Iowa State football team practicing for a Friday night game kepler's about as many cars belonging to the security people as other cars carrying the official delegate and that is what you will find in Russia investing with the agricultural attaché in Moscow last year we found that whenever any of the people from the embassy left at Moscow they were usually two or three black limousines ahead of them and two or three black limousines behind them as they moved around the country it would be interesting to know the estimate of the crowd as we've said earlier it looks as if visha was upon us and we know that they can't be gap but the crowd resembles of vision I was the University this will be something that the young people will remember for a long time and I think that it will have a tendency to broaden their reading dick and when it comes to international affairs and particularly when it comes to the Russian us relationships perhaps we could turn this as a visa because at that time of the year the university opens its doors goes on display today we have more or less opened our doors camp and visiting dignitary has taken a look in the few minutes or I should say the couple of hours that he will have here at Iowa University and the few minutes that he's had on campus you can't begin to to get a visual picture of it but I do hope that this visit will inaugurate the opportunity to bring more young people from Russia and other people who actually do the work in Russia to this country to see how we do live how we work how we play in this country not just the top echelon which has been the bulk of the people that have come to this country but the everyday working people to come here and share experiences with us perhaps you would wonder what the buses are they're carrying the press they continue on the tour the universe the campuses looking south on the campus off to the right you see the enclosure of the practice football field cars and ambulance falling behind the buses as a precautionary measure should they be needed as we look to the south our shop gone but you could see a portion of Helzer home one of the new mins dormitories on the campus the cars making a left turn we'll head east will wind down around the lake on the University campus Lake Laverne will head past the Memorial Union where Mr Khrushchev should get a good glimpse of student life and that under the making a left turn we'll head east will wind down around the the flake on the University campus Lake Laverne will head past the Memorial Union where Mr Khrushchev should get a good glimpse of student life and that and the caravan of the official party chairman Khrushchev and the other Russian visitors to iowa state university has just appeared our cameras are picking them up as they approach the swine nutrition farm and in just a moment the first car will turn into the lane and chairman Khrushchev madam Chris trova and the other members of the party will arrive for a very thoroughly organized visit to this very interesting and very important part of iowa state university with me here is professor von spear of the swine nutrition section of the animal husbandry department who will tell us as Mr Khrushchev visits the various buildings and the various swine pins and the exhibits here what it is that the Chairman will see the official car is just arrived you can see on your screen chairman Khrushchev is being greeted by officials of iowa state university also the picture is Henry Cabot Lodge the ambassador to the United Nations and the usual cluster of press photographers motion picture photographers around mr. Khrushchev it is planned and hoped that a little later our mobile television microphones will be used to let you listen to some of the explanation of this swine nutrition program as it is given to the chairman Khrushchev by dr. Damon caprica caitrin the manager of this swine nutrition farm the farm itself is approximately 90 acres and the swine population at any one time is around 2,000 the usual formalities of greeting mr. Khrushchev at each of his stops now going on and in just a few moments he will begin this walking tour of the program the tour is a very short one and walking it takes about seven minutes but the usual delays before the walking tour begins are now be setting us and we shall follow the progress of the official party if and when it begins dr. Speier we were speaking a few moments ago about the total investment in this swine nutrition and perhaps you can begin by telling us what what the actual purpose of it is swine nutrition what what's the meaning of the phrase well of course Jack our real goal in all of our research work here is to build or develop better methods of feedings wine particularly Iowa's find don't buy better methods what what what result is to be achieved are we are do we do it to do it more economically financially or two to make better pork or what is it well here again we have a about a three-fold purpose that is first produce a marketable product that they are that the housewife will accept in other words we want a real meaty pork chop we want a meaty type bacon and ham and so forth on down the line here then would be we're in stood in an efficient producing hog that is a rapid gaining pig one that will gain on the least amount of feed possible and there is one outstanding fact that we've been presented around here since we've arrived this is the the idea of early wing is that true that's right Iowa State University jack has pretty much pioneered in this field of swine production and mr. Khrushchev will see pigs that have been weaned at the age of two weeks is that right is this this and remember please that you're speaking to a real city boy who knows nothing about it and to a great many city folks who would like to know just how unusual this is Jack the normal weaning age up until the last few years has been somewhere in the neighborhood of eight to nine weeks of age now we started along about 1953 in developing diets which would allow us to wing pigs routinely at one week of age at the present time were routinely weaning all of our pigs at two weeks of age you
