Dept, of Agriculture for May and June .indicate, that Ontario farmers are marketing their hogs at the proper weights - weights that qual ify them for the $1 Ont. subsidy for each “B.l” grade, that in the principal hog raising coun ties from 80 to 90% per cent of the hogs marketed by applicants for the subsidy, graded "A” or ‘'B.l'*, Almost 42% of these hogs graded "A” which means that their owners were paid the $1 premium for selects in addition to the Ontario subsidy. L. E. O’Neill, Director of the Live Stock Branch, in releasing Hog Sub sidy figures, praised Ont hog produc ers for their care in marketing at pro per weights, 200 to 210 pounds at .the farm. Peterboro County with 180 ap plicants for subsidy had the highest percentage of grade "A” hogs, 54.3 in the eleven counties listed. Perth was Second with 44.1. Grey county topped all others with 1,274 for 6,636 hogs. These graded 41,1% "A” and 45.5% "B.l”. Discussing the work of the Hog Subsidy Division, Mr. O’Neill said that the most common fault in connection with the applications was that the far mers failed to sign them. Some 10% of all ’applications received were not signed, he said. Others sent in grad ing certificates without applications and still others, applications without grading certificates. Some farmers make application for the subsidy and attach grading certificates which do not show them to be the farmer-pro ducer. This is probably the fault of the shipper or trucker. Mr. O’Neill again-pointed out that grading certifi cates previous to May 5th were not valid as the subsidy did not come in to effect until that date. Following is a summary of applica tions for hog subsidy from May 5th to June 30th, 1941, for Huron: num ber of applications, 1050; total hogs, 6527; no. of "A”, 2866; % of “A” 43.9; No. of B.l, 2919; % of B.l, 44.7; Ont.
