Better Pigs and Chickens for the People, 1966 US poster: Sheet SP-1381 is a Vietnamese and highland-language farm-extension

Better Pigs and Chickens for the People

Sheet SP-1381 is a Vietnamese and highland-language farm-extension poster from Darlac. It reports a four-day livestock course at Hoa Binh village led by an expert called Bai, says Yorkshire pigs 'will increase profits for farmers' and New Hampshire hens 'will produce more meat and eggs', and notes that farmers may sometimes have to pay for medicine. The sheet has no overt persuasion technique beyond showing ordinary farmers learning and the advertised benefit; it is closest to a plain-folks development sheet.

[Rhade-language headline, not transcribed: BI MĐĬ KLEI RÔNG HLÔ MNỠNG]

Ty Mục Súc Darlac đã mở một lớp huấn luyện về ngành chăn nuôi để hướng dẫn phương pháp chăn nuôi và phòng ngừa bệnh tật cho gia súc. Ty cũng gởi chuyên viên đến tận nơi để chỉ dẫn cho những nông dân muốn hiểu biết về chăn nuôi hoặc đang có gia súc bị bệnh. Chuyên viên hoặc cán bộ Mục Súc không được quyền nhận tiền, nhưng đôi khi nông dân phải xuất tiền mua vài loại thuốc tại các hiệu thuốc Âu Mỹ khi những loại thuốc này không có sẵn tại ty Mục Súc.

IMPROVING LIVESTOCK RAISING FOR THE COMPATRIOTS
[Rhade-language headline, not transcribed]

The Darlac Animal Husbandry Service has opened a training course on livestock raising to teach methods of raising animals and preventing animal diseases. The Service also sends experts out to the spot to advise farmers who want to learn about animal raising or whose animals are sick. The experts or Animal Husbandry cadres are not permitted to accept money, but farmers sometimes have to pay for some medicines at European and American pharmacies when these medicines are not available at the Animal Husbandry Service.
