How should a surplus ýîbe handled? 3. Should food con- Isumptian be limited by rationing after emergency? In respect ta the first question 'the farmers were unanimous, but specified certain qualifications such as, prices toa low; labar scarce, poor machinery, and one ~very pronounced that the farm- ers have reached their limait now. 1 Concerning number twa; about 50 J.

He must know values right across the board; values of every- riing that cames under his ham- mer, from a what-not in house- aild furniture ta what-have-you Ln implements, livestock, real state, everything that is bought and soid. And not the least is the faculty ai knowing human values, the art ai inviting bids that yield the last dollar ai value. A successiui auctioneer must have, especially in rural districts, a good iarm background. Al these characteristics are possessed >y Jack Reid, who became a li- censed auctianeer back in 1943, when he handled his first auctian for William Hallowell,, Clarke, Sept. 27 ai that year. Since then he has canducted over 100 suc- cessfui sales embracing ail the above spheres, his latest, the dis- persal ai pedigreed Sharthorns for Mrs. Bessie Walkey, Port Hope. Jack Reid is a son ai Bert Reid, ex-reeve, ex-warden, ai United Counties and grandson ai the late WV. H. Reid, former M.P.P., Dur- ham County. His inherited tal- ents include fiuency, persuasive- niess, good humor, ail attributes ai a successful auctioneer. He farms two miles north ai Newtonville, actively as a dairy farmer but has covered every township in the county in auction sales. He is a young man ai 30 with the buiid and vigor of an athiete. His knowledge ai pedigrees was brought out at the Walkey sale where he was assisted by S. Chas. Allun, secretary ai the Dur- ham Shorthorn Club. With a crowd largely local, the 24 head auctioned brought an average ai $140, ail ages. The herd sire brought $170. Local buyers in- cluded, W. Parrinder, Sauina, whc bought twa cows at $167.50 and $192.50; A. McKay, Clarke, a cow at $200; W.. Hale, Clarke, a coxw at $107.50, and T. Johnston, New- castle, a bull at $170. These are considered importani prices'for a general, overaîl, dis- persal sale. This repart was giv- en The Statesman by Mr. Allir who judged the resuits ta be ver exceptionai. Always a booster fai Durham County talent, Th( Statesman gives the above par. ticulars in recognition ai a youn, auctioneer who is going place: and getting resuits. ONTARIO HOGS IN LEAD FOI QUALITY AND FOR VOLUMI The annuai review for 1945 c the swine industry, preýpared an( distrîbuted by the Ontario Live stock Branch, contains some ar resting information regarding th, production ai hogs in Ontario du ring last year. It shows tha whîle hog production oxyer the Do minian as a whole deMined 33. percent, Ontario's productiai showed a decrease ai only 14. per cent, while in Saskatchewa: there was a drap ai 51.3 per cen and in Alberta, 34.7 per cent. Thi indicates that Ontario has dor exceptionally well in holding he end up in production of hogs fo the British market. In quality ai hogs, Ontar leads ail provinces ai the Domir ion wîth 39.8 per cent in Grade and 44.4 per cent in Grade Bl, total ai 84.2 per cent in the tvN grades considered satisfactary f( the bacon export trade. The a) 1erage for the Dominion was 32 per cent Grade A and 43.4 pi the export gradep. Alberta. had 27.2 per cent Grade A and Sas- katchewan 28.7 per cent, sa that from the .standpoint of quality, Ontario agai4i makes %he greatest contribution to the hags suitable for export. An encouraging feature is found in the fact that while in 1944, ten counties of Ontario had over 40 per cent select hogs, 20 counties attained that mark in 1945. These counties were headed by Haldi- mand, consistently the leader, with Welland second with 45.9 per cent and Bruce third with 45.1 per cent. The other counties grad- ing over 40 per cent A's were Stormont, Brant, Dufferin, Grey, Halton, Huron, Lincoln, Ontario, Peel, Perth, Peterborough, Sim- coe, Victoria, Waterloo, Welling- ton, Wentworth and York. From the standpoint of volume, Perth County came first with 138,- 360 hogs marketed through in- spected plants. The other lead- ing counties were Huron, 129,- 525; Wellington, 120,806; Simcoe, 110,085; Bruce, 106,072; Grey, 104,762. Ail counties showed some reduction from the 1944 figures, although in the case of Peterborough the decrease was only 2.6 per cent, in Prescott 2.7 per cent and in Perth 2.8 per cent.
