How far back policy dates is shown in a most sf at ing way by an article written and p 'in 1889 by Thomas Harris | a prominent Wiltshire bacon curer. | ~ Mr. Harris viewed with alam the 'inroads that: foreign countries-- hati ier appeal for greater: production. of the desirable lean type 'of hog on the Old Country farms. "During the nine months ending September 29th, 1889," wrote Mr. Harris, "we received from Denmark and Germany alone 110,000 tons of bacon, valued at upward of half million pounds, in addition to "which Sweden is now sending large © supplies of bacon suitable for London trade; and I need hardly remind my. "readers of the immense supplies of bacon of a cheaper class which is constantly being poured into this country - from America. The - total annual value of imported hog products from all sources is nearly £10,000,000.
