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.

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,

The findings of the 1959 study
were used to update programs to
meet the needs and interests of
homemakers of the 1960's. Find-

that Women's Institute member-

Despite declining farm popula-
tion, membership of Ontario's
1,373 Women's Institutes in 1968
totals 32,597 an increase of 637

an increase of 20 percent over

Announce dates
for district fairs
A release from the office of
the Hon. Wm, A. 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.

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.
