EXETES I • • A new federal grading system for togs, to be implemented by J4elnarY 10 1969, was announced lea week by Agriculture Minister J, Greene. The Minieterte ,announcement fellowed government approval in principle of proposals for re- visions in hog grading presented to the Canada pepartment ,of Ag- riculture by the Canadian Swine Council and the Meat Packers Council of Canada, "Target date for implementa- tion is the firet of next year," Mr. Greene said. "But it could come sooner," The new system places speeial emphasis on the percent of lean pork. It will more adequately re- ward the producer of high quality hogs and give him more and bet- ter leformation to use in a breed- leg program. The consumer will also bene- fit from the change. It will en- courage the production of a great- er proportion of high qualitylean pork, The main change from the pres- ent system involves taking two specific backfat measurements on each carcass one at the shoulder and one at the loin. The depth of fat is combined with the evo Rome Weather conditions up to the present have not been favourable for the growth of corn or white beans. There has been too much moisture in the last few weeks in both cases, and not enough hot sunny days. These conditions have offset the early planting dates of this year. If we continue to get the heat of this week, these crops will proceed favour- ably and in most cases pullout of any s e t backs due to weather and/or herbicide damage. Haying has been hampered con- siderably due to the wet weather, but the majority of the farmers have taken in 50% of the crop. A few hot dry days will increase this figure substantially. Haylage production is increasing in the County this year. Spring grains in most cases look quite favourable with most barley and mixed grain crops out in head. The 1968 pea pack at the Ex- eter plant of Canadian Canners got underway Monday morning. Manager Jack Urquhart reports the yield is above average and the pea quality is rated as ex- cellent. Urquhart expects the pack will continue until the middle of Aug- ust. Centralia Farmers Supply Ltd. Groin • Feed • Cement Building Supplies Cool 228-6638 weight of the hog and from this an index is developed, The index Will, be used, by buyers in deter- mining the price of any category of hog in relationship to the base price of the average hog, For .example, all of the car- casses between 125 and 180 pounds warm dressed weight will fall into one of 13 categories or indices, the lowest being 88 and the highest 112, At the present time the quoted price is for Grade "A" hogs, tinder the new syStern the bid price will be'for hogs with an index of 100, This means that if the price of hogs is $30,00 a hundred, all hogs with an index of 100 receive this price. Hogs with an index of 112 would re- ceive $33.60 per hundred while hogs with an index of 88 would receive only $26.40 per hundred. There is a provisionfor cover- ing the small number of carcass- es that carry minor defects such as a lack of meatiness in the barn and belly or an unusually heavy shoulder. For such carcasses there will be a downward adjust- ment of the index into which they fall based on backfat and weight alone. The obvious advantage of this system is that the value of each carcass is more specifically identified than under the exist- ing system. Carcasses now fall into large groups: for example, about 42% fall within the Grade "A" category and all Grade "A" 's fetch the same price per hundred regardless of the differ- ence in the cut-out of lean trim- med cuts. There are several factors in- volved in implementing the new grading program. Ad ditio nal graders must be recruited and trained. And there is the print- ing of scale tickets and of a newly designed combination qual- ity premium warrant and settle- ment form. "The development of the new hog grading system is an excel- lent example of the benefits to be derived from full participation in the shaping of government policy by all interested parties," Mr. Greene said. The new system is the result of action taken by the Canadian Swine Council andehe Meat Pack- ers Council following a series of conferences and discussions. The Canada Department of Ag- riculture played a major role by conducting the research neces- sary to provide the data on which a new approach to hog grading could be based. "The two councils that spon- sored the proposal for the re- vision are truly representative of the Canadian hog and pork industry," Mr. Greene said. "The Swine Council is a national organization, representing both purebred and commercial pro- ducers. It has members from every province. "The Meat Packers Council of Canada is a national association of meat packers and processors." "This co-operative approach in the area of hog grading re- visions is very encouraging and could well set the pattern for further action by the livestock industry in related fields," the Minister said. The swine industry is import- ant in Canada's agricultural pic- ture. Marketings of hogs in 1967 totalled 8,200,000 head with farm cash receipts from hogs totalling $408,200,000 — over 9% of total farm cash receipts, The cash value in 1967 of ex- ports of hogs, pork, and pork products amounted to about $35,- 000,000, Freeze only high quality fruits and vegetables.

If a new family occupies the farm the new homemaker will be inter- viewed. However, every effort will be made to get in touch with the former homemaker as well. The findings of the 1959 study were used to update programs to meet the needs and interests of homemakers of the 1960's. Find- ings were used so successfully that Women's Institute member- ship has increased. Despite declining farm popula- tion, membership of Ontario's 1,373 Women's Institutes in 1968 totals 32,597 an increase of 637 over 1967. The educational pro- gram of the Home Economics Branch reached more than 50,000 rural women and girls in 1967, an increase of 20 percent over the previous year. SEVIN insecticide is on your side.

Stewart, On- tario's minister of Agriculture and Food lists the dates of Fall Fairs throughout Ontario spon- sored by Ontario Agricultural Societies. The Exeter Fall Fair will be held as usual in the third week of September, Wednesday and Thursday, the 18th and 19th. The first fair in the district will be in Mitchell on August 30 and 31. In the week and a half following the Exeter show, six district fairs will be staged. The second and biggest day of Seaforth's exhibition will be Fri- day, September 20, with Zurich beginning on Saturday and con- tinuing on Monday, September 23. In quick succession come Hay- field and St. Marys onSeptember 25, Kirkton on the 27th and Ilder- ton the following day. homes to ask questions on fam- ily attitudes toward social, econ- omic and land use changes in the rural community. Hopefully, the homemakers interviewed will be the same ones visited in a similar survey conducted in 1959. The Longitudinal Study of On- tario Farm Families, announced this week by the Home Econom- ics Branch of the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture and Food, will be a co-operative one. Other participants are the Spe- cial Committee on Farm Income of the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, and the Department of Geography and Planning of the University of Waterloo. This, year's study is a follow up of the 1959 Special Study of Ontario Farm Homes and Home- makers. In 1959, home economists in- terviewed 352 farm homemakers, in their own homes. Half of these farm women were Women's. In- stitute members. Half were their nearest non-Women's Institute neighbors. The farm homes were situated in each and every county and district of the province. Home economists this year will That's a'j ;t takes .. ;,:si ?•,e tT.p over the f;e:d bet re mbire edible beans.
