very limited owing to the very few hogs ready for market during the current week mr gunby also stated that in his opinion halton producers could increase their per cent age of a hogs materially bv making greater use of the scales in determining when their hogs wer at the proper weight in short too many potential a hogs arc being spoiled by over finishing in 1952 halton producers mark eted 28 457 hogs at which numb r onjj 36 7 graded a on the rail this is in contrast to 20235 hogs marketed in 1951 with 41 a3 and 19 037 hogs sold to the pro censors in 1950and 42 3- a b thai ofthecost hog
