Best, Prop. 79w FLESRERTON I Adult Salmon Are Food For Own Fry There was less snow than usual along the water line of British Col- umbia streams last winter and as a consequence baby salmon hatche<l in those streams last spring grew more slowly than normally. But what in the world has snow to io with salmon growth ? Just this, as explained in a report to the Dominion Department of Fish- eries by one of its British Columbia inspectors. Sockeye like other Paci fie salmon, but unlike their Atlantic cousins, die after their first spawn ing. Little salmon feed in part uf| n the carcasses of adult fish which are left in the shallows after spawning is over. Ordinarily many of the bodies are covered by snow during the winter, frozen, making the re- mains available as a food supply for the small salmon with the coming of spring. Last winter there was little snow, and the remains of the adult salmon thus fell prey to birds and various animals. The result, with the com- ing of spring, was a curtailed food supply for the young sockeye. The life of a baby salmon has its perils too. Such was the case in this instance, with schools of hungry trout lurking at the river mouths to prey on tht- emerging fish. Sport fishermen in some instances gave the baby salmon a better chance of sur- vival when they took substantial catches of trout by angling, and ar- rival of hordes of yearling salmon commencing their migration from the lakes also distracted the atten- tion of the preying trout from the salmon fry. Examination of the rivers in the district gave rise to the opinion that hatch and escapement of fry were satisfactory. Sockeye are the most valuable of the five species of Pacific salmon, and are a major factor in the great British Columbia salmon fishing in- dustry which in 1939 had a marketed value return of nearly ?13,000,000.

The lai-d type of hog has been practically eliminat- ed from Canadian markets. However, officials point out that further improvement in the weights and carcass quality of market hogs is necessary now, in order to meet the quality requirements under the bacon contract and to maintain Can- ada's position on Unted Kingdom markets. Greatly increased produc- tion over the past few years has provided the volume of exports re- quired to supply war-time needs, but greater attention to quality and weights is essential in order to main- tion for high quality production pointing o'lt where improvement can be made, the Marketing Service is I interpreting market demand to the producer so that the swine industry may be safeguarded through the war years and have a favorable reputa- ttion for high quality production under peace time competition. At the present time, nearly 65 per cent of graded carcasses is being exported. During the period of the bacon agreement this will require a total of three and a half million hogs for export to the United Kingdom. To maintain the standards of quality Wiltshire sides, and cuts exported dumg the period of agreement, offic- ials state tMat it will be necessary to have at least 45 per cent of all car- casses A grade in quality and weight. In 1940 only 27 per cent was A grade. About 56 per cent was of B grade, and of these it is estimated that a third would have been eligible for A grade if the weights had been right; that is, if the carcasses had been within the weight ranges of 140 to 170 lb. If such B grade hogs were marketed at correct weights, officials believe the numher of A grade car- casses would be increased to 45 per cent, or in other words, to make poss- ible export of a reasonable per cent of A grade bacon of the most desir- able weights. As far as the producer is concerned the solution of the problem lies in greater attention to the weight of hogs when marketing. The demand is for hogs weighing 190 to 210 lbs. alive. Hogs of these weights, pro- viding they are of sufficient quality, are in line to yield A grade carcasses. Lighter or heavier hogs are likely to yield carcasses under or over the weight range of 140 to 170 lbs. If they do, the producer loses the prem- ium on A grade and possibly has to take a discount as well. Many farmers admit that they are falling down on the problem of wei,jht. In the past they relied on their own judgment to estimate the weighs of their hogs at market time. Now, they agree that they have to weigh their hogs from time to time during the finishing period to be abso- lutely certain that they are above 190 lb. and below 210 lb. when shipped. Plenty of Boots For Army British tanners o' i>ole leather have achieved one of the country's finest industrial records for 1940. They have sucoessfolly carried through a colossal expansion of output in order to supply the Services with 20,000,000 pairs of boots during the year and in addition they have amply met the demand from civilians at home and overseas. The increase in output is estimated at 50 per cent. Hides have been shipped to Britain fiom 60 overseas ports to meet it, a big proportion oi them from the normous cattle re- sources of the Empire, put at 40 per cent of the world's total livestock. South America has provided an- other vast war-time reservoir. Arg- entina, with its 60,000,000 cattle on the hoof, has sent consi^rnment after consignment of hides of high quality, thanks to the increasing care of Arg- entine cattle and to the scientific methods which have been inroduced into flaying processes. Uruguay, Colombia and Brazil have all of them sent welcome cargoes across the At- lantic too. Working tanners have speeded up production by intensifying their mechanical and scientific methods and the British Sole Leather Tan- ners' Association has planned pro- duction in a practical way to prevent flriolent price fluctuations. The re- sulting output has not only allowed Britain to have 400,000 pairs of Ser- vice boots a week, but in the midst of 'he war, British tanners are now exporting sole leather made to suit the climates of many markets overseas. MENACE OF BEVERAGE ROOMS (Elora. Express) We note that Queen's Park officials are said to be much worried over the increasing toll of human life and limb through motor accidents on our streets and highways. The Attorney- General has called a conference ol conatabulary, police sod others ta consider means of prevention, includ- ing an educational program. Is thi» enough when every man at such a conference, including government of- ficials, knows full well that one of th« greatest menaces to public safety is the beverage room and its products? Only the other day we witnessed six men â€" all visibly inebriated to such an extent thait they could not stand straight, get into two motor cars out- side a beverage room, and drive off at the most crowded hour of the eve- ning. One would think, too, that the number of fatal accidents among the • soldiery on our highways might give the government furiously to think. But the revenue from liquor is need- ed, so on the one hand there is the "educational" slogan "Liquor and gasoline don't mix"; on the other the beverage rooms in hotel or club house waiting all along the line of travel to do the mixing thoroughly. None so blind as those who won't see. But the officials might try spectaclesâ€" or seeing other speptacles â€" outside any beverage room. It might assist them to come to the conclusion that beverage rooms ought to be closed as a war measure and closed as soon as possible.
