Description:
‘I can’t let pass what you say about the pig problem! Don’t you see that our problem was to recreate the Yorkshire pig & show we had control of the vital processes, i.e. to start with two other wholly different types & get rid of the black colour from one & the long snout from the other & make a pig that could be mistaken for Yorkshire, without an atom of Yorkshire in him. If that can be done then most things are possible.
K.P.’
