FAT AS A PIG As spring makes its appearance, and the grass turns green, you’ll be amaz­ ed to find that more and more people ! decide to turn to a salad diet in hopes that they will be able to cut down on some of the excess weight that has accumulated during the winter months when they are more or less confined to indoor activities. And so, those cheerful people who always put on the weight, will start to starve away the pounds in an effort to fit a ma­ tron’s figure into a misses size dress. While this annual campaign to cut down on weight goes on in the homes, the farmers of Ontario are also start­ ing to show concern over another overweight problem. They are starting to show increased concern over the fact that the grades of their market hogs are depreciating instead of im­ proving. Farmers have lost much of their incentive to produce the lean, Grade A type bacon hog that used to be thp fad, and seem to be satisfied to raise a hog that will go out to market = on as little feed as possible, and- as = soon as they can get him on the truck. ■ Perhaps the reduced bonus for A Grad­ es has something todo with it, for the farmers say there isn’t enough ad­ ditional revenue from one of these bacon type hogs to warrant the extra trouble and care of producing him. The fact remains, however, the gen­ eral public, that is the general con­ suming public, do not like fat pork. They will'turn down a slice of fat bacon for a lean one every time. They don’t like fat pork chops or fat sau­ sage, and there is a dropping interest in lard for baking and cooking. In other words, fat pork is unpopular, and the packers are at a loss to know what to do with the trimmings from the fat carcasses that come in to them. I was reading the other day, that most of the work commonly -call­ ed “processing of hogs”, consists of trimming off excess fat, and attempt­ ing to make presentable cuts out of those unattractive, over-weight car­ casses that roll in. Canadians have held the respect of consumers and producers the world over for many years, for their ability to produce good bacon, but our quality is slipping, and unless something is done about it, much of that respect is going to be lost. We will have it tough sledding to regain the world’s export markets, if our »quality continues to drop, for the Danish bacon- already grades better than ours, is closer to importing countries. The roots of the problem are right back on the farm, where the hogs are pro­ duced and only a program of good breeding, good feeding, and careful management will improve the type of hog that we market. To the people who say, “It doesn’t pay to produce a good hog”, I say this: "It won’t pay to produce a poor hog either, if there is no demand for fat pork”, conducted by Mr, West were enjoyed by all. During the senior girls' work period, the juniors worked at scrap­ books and the boys at woodwork, „ This was followed by the worship service. The theme was "Jesus Wel­ comes everybody to His church.” With John Newans as pianist, "God Sees the Little Sparrow Fall,” was sung. The Scripture lesson was read by Mrs. West, Barry Mulvey and Cecil Horton, telling of Jesus’ disciples going out to spread the Gospel in many lands. All joined in a litany remembering Miss Margaret Trueman, a missionary in Japan, Janice Merkley and Nanry Elliott took up the offering, Dorothy McNee *gave the offering prayer. Twenty-three answered the rpll call. The»minutes were read and approved. Ruth Fitch volunteered to.play for the next meeting. ’ The closing hymn "Jesus Keep Near the Cross" was sung and repeated the closing prayer. Weekly Card Party The regular weekly card party was held in the hall last Monday night, I with twenty tables in play.
