This program is designed to strengthen the producers' bar- gainiug position and has been necessitated by the lerge percent- age of the hogs which were being delivered direct to packing plants. These direct deliveries were large- ly in response to extra payments made to truckers by packers to entourage delivery of hogs to their particular plants. In preparation for the direc- tion program, the Hog Produces have licensed truckers who handle hogs, their, Co-operative selling agency has been planning the establishment of new assem- bly yards to which hogs will be brought and from which they will be directed to the points where they are in greatest de - Best OIL FURNACE Yet! • McCLARY WINTER AIR CONDITIONER Cleans . . .

Yards will be established at Windsor, London, Stratford, Barrie and Peterl3orough, in ad- dition to the facilities established last year at Kitchener and the. Public- Stockyards at Toronto. Under the new direction pro- gram, hogs picked Up at the farm by a trucker will be taken to the nearest assembly yard. There, the trucker will be told to deliver -them to the plant to which they have been. Sold—or possibly the animals may be un- loaded. Facilities for proper feed- ing and watering of hogs are available at these yards, as well as facilities for washing and dis- infeeting the trucks. Scales are also provided to enable the weighing of the live hogs. From these records, the marketing agency can check on the dressing percentages of hogs and gather very valuable data which can be used to the benefit of the producer, Commenting on the direction program, Mr. Mernnis said the continued large percentage of hogs delivered direct to packing plants had made it impossible for the xnarketing agency to bargain effectively. "How can you bar- gain when your buyer already has the product killed and prbcessed in his plant?" he asks. The new plan will overcome this problem since the hogs will go to the plant only after agreement has been reached on price. The direction program will also eliminate the special payments to truckers by the packers. These payments had been made by the packers to ensure their receiving the share of hogs they needed to meet their requirements. How- ever, this will be unnecessary now, since the only way the packer can be sure of sufficient hogs will be to bid competitively for them from the Ontario Hog Producers Co-operative — which has the responsibility of selling all 'Ontario hogs going for slaughter. Elimination of these% payments to truckers should enable pay- ment of higher prices to the producer. Reports have placed them as high as $3.0.0 per hog in some cases. This meant the packer paid that amount over and above the market, price, but the producer received little if any of that sum. Mr. McInnis adds that the Hog Producers have no intention of squeezingthe truckers. They provide a neces- sary service and should receive fair payment. However, he feels the trucker is hired by the farmer, and payment for his ser- vice should only come from the farmer, who in turn should re- ceive the full price paid for the hogs by the packer or butcher who buys them. New Barley Is Popular Winter Barley becoming more popular each year in Cent- ral and South -Western Ontario where, in the_ South-West pbrtion of the province in particular, yields are, often higher than for spring barleys, according to W. W. Snow, Extension Specialist of the Western Ontario Agricultural School at Ridgetoirn. Mr. Snow reports that South- Wektern Ontario is the area best suited for winter barley produc- tion, but that some areas of Cent- ral Ontario can produce good crops particularly if a very winter -hardy variety Is used. Although winter barley Is not as winter -hardy as wheat, espec- ially where the soil Is heavy or not too *ell drained, there is a distinct difference In the ability of varieties to withstand_ winter - killing. Hudson is a new high yielding variety of winter barley recently licensed for sale in Canada. It is winter -hardy and may often be grown successfully under condi- tions that would eliminate much of the stand of varieties such as Wong. Hudson stands well and has .advantages in this respect over Tennessee which has here- tofore been regarded as the standard for winter -hardiness. Winter barley has other ad- vantages as well. It matures earlier than other common small grains and is often ready for com- bining or threshing two weeks before winter wheat. This, qf course, spreads the harvest sea- son and helps reduce the pressure Of work at a busy time.

A stole containing 51 pelts weighs only a pound and a half. The chinchillas themselves are light. Fully matured, they (weigh approximately 24 ounces, They're clean, odorless, hardy and vege- tarian.

He keeps his herd in the basement of the house. "Most people think the chinchil- la as a type of ' rabbit." Mr. Tin- ney says, "hut the two animals are not related in any rway." The chinchilla, is .a native of South America and was imported to the United States from an Indian tribe in Bolivia. That was in 1920. Prom then on, the •chinchil- la industry has 'developed and spread throughout the United States and 'Canada. Mr. Tinney, who 'raised mink before the war, is convinced the bhinehilla is !much easier to raise and will be much more valuable. The chinchilla is tame—it can be developed as a pet—white the mink is a wild and dangerous species. The Silver Jewel Raneh fea- tures registered qualitystock and many are sold as"chreeders.
