the georgetown henu weawovy evening jemuuy 15th 1941 ram of to ta local farmtr our farm further improvement in weight and quality bacon hogs needed with over 8q per cent of all hog carcasses graded in canada eligible tar a and b grades mwtoung officials of the dominion deaattihenjcf agri culture state that baoon type has been well established the lard type of bog has been practically eumlnated from canadian markets however officials point out that fur ther improvement in the weights and carcass quality of market hogs is ne cessary now in order to meet the quality requirements under the bacon contract and to maintain canada s position on united kingdom markets greatly increased production over the past few years has provided the vol ume- of exports required to supply war time needs but greater attention to quality and weights is essential in or der to maintain the standards of ex ports m pointing out where improve ment can be made the marketing ser vice is interpreting market demand to oae producer so that the swine indus try may be safeguarded through the war years and have a favourable re putation 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 bogs for export to the united kingdom to maintain the standards of quality wiltshire sides and cuts exported during the period of agree ment officials state that it will be necessary to have at least 4 per cent of all carcasses 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 estim ated that a third would have been eligible for a grade if the weights had been right that is if the carcasses had been wrhln the weight ranges or 140 to 170 lb if such b grade hogs were marketed at correct weights officials believe jjie number of a grade carcasses would be in creased to 45 per cent or in other words enough to make possible ex port of a reasonable per cent of a grade bacon of the mjost djeslratote 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 lb alive hogs of these weights providing 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 lb if they do the producer loses the premium on a grade and possibly has to take a discount as well many farmers admit that they are f alilr g down on the problem of weight in the past thej relied on their own judgment to estimate the weights of their hogs at market time now they agree that they have to weigh their hogs from ttme to time during the finishing period to be ab solutely certain that they are above 180 lb and below 210 lb when ship ped to fill war orders

dominion department of agriculture and chair man dairy products board it will be necessary in order to meet the british orders for cheese evaporated milk and take care of the domestic requirements for butter and other dairy products to increase milk production in canada by about 650000 000 lb the increased cheese production must naturally come from ontario and quebec where more than 90 per cent of all canadian cheese is made the greater part of the in crease in butter production should be in the three prairie provinces where for several years butter has been pro duced in sufficient quantities as to allow a considerable proportion to be available for export to the eastern provinces and british columbia to obtain the essential increase in mldc production in 1941 it win be necessary either to add to the number of milk cows which at june 1 1940 was 3894 000 throughout the dominion or to advance the production of milk by at least 45 per cent over 1939 dr e 8 archibald director dominion

and exten slon division dominion department of agriculture useful farm guides account book map the use of farm accounts and re cords has always been associated with good farm management but today un der war conditions with fixed selling prices for some farm products and rising production expenses farm ac counts and records should prove par ticularly useful farm accounts form a permanent record of the business transactions involved in the yearly operation of the farm such a record is of great as sisance in making plans for the fu ture and if the facts dlclosed from a study of these business records are not forgotten or overlooked many errors of judgment may be avoided in the future states h d mitchell field husbandry division dominion experimental farm service it is now particularly advisable that production be maintained at as uni form rate as possible throughout the year and this mfcy call for changes in winter feeding and management or live stock therefore feed records should be kept as this may be the means of effecting economies in the purchase of feeds and the use of substitute feeds as their prices fluc tuate a map of the farm used in conjunc lion with a crop record makes a very useful guide in planning future crop production this map should show the crops grown in the different fields each year as well as the yields and other related data such as rates and dates of seeding aiso rates of manur ing or fertilizing such a record would show the effects of the appli cation of fertilizer or lime on the dif ferent fields ard would lead to- more definite program of soil management the changes that have already oc curred and those that are likely to follow the war make 5t imperative that the most skilful farm manage ment be used in the future fanners cannot start

agricultural represen tatives shows that in the province as a whole there is apparently sufficient supplies of good quality seed of all standard varieties to meet the de mand except tor a possible shortage in some of the small seeds this is always of course provided those re quiring ssed secure supplies early while the grain is still available and before being fed to live stock or otherwise disposed of officials point out that with a shor tage of trained labour the production of large yields on limited acreages by good cultivation judicious application of fertilizers and the use or strong vigorous plump seed or suitable varie ties becomes paramount in the pro duction or maximum crops with the minimum of labour in 1941 ontario has the swd every- agri cultural representative has a
