Anticipate charter soon , crop report Huron county for hog processing plant For this reason I was glad to. see that the .meeting decided to continue to have the election of • zone directors at the annual meetings held in Toronto. Had. this been changed as suggested by the Farm Products Market- ing Board to. electing the zone director at a zone meeting we could only expect smaller at. tendances at annual meetings, When annual meetings are poorly attended it isn't too long before the. organization. is con- trolled by too few people, In the matter of a re-distribu- tion 'of zone area's I am. not sure that the delegates showed as mudh wisdom. On the surface this redistribu- tion of zone representation seems unimportant and had it been a choice in -Ithe original constitu- tion I think I could 'have chosen the suggestion of the :Farm Prod- ucts 'Marketing 'Board: At the present time I am fearful of. the results of the 'acceptance given to this change in electing zone diredors. :Mr, George. McKague, chair- man, of the Farm. Products Marketing Board, stated 'that this change would distribute pro- ducer representation more even- ly over 'the province and. was a practice followed in great many other groups. This is true and is something that could very well be colloid- ered at some future 'time but it is hardly sufficient reason for making 'this a major issue at 'the present. What this redistribution will do may be nothing. What it 'could do would be to change 'the whole personnel of the Hog Producer Marketing Board.

One way to improve carcass quality in a long-range program I is to buy a top-quality boar. If. , you are buying a boar this fall, you might keep the. following in mind. Pick a boar that, will improve some of the sows' physical weak- nesses, Pick a boar from breeding stock with a good Advanced Registry Policy test. Give preference to boars with a disease-free history, These guides are something you might keep in mind the next time you look around for a boar. You'll improve your chances of picking a good one, says Garnet Norrish, OAC swine researcher, What physical weakness should you. `lookfor? Garnet' suggests paying special attention to "weak bones in the feet and legs, poor type pigs, small, weak pigs at birth, light weaning weights, slow growth, and , sows that are poor milkers." Now let's take a sow herd with a few weaknesses and shop around for a boar. Good test on Advanced Registry. What does that mean? It's a pig testing policy whereby 4 pigs from a litter are fed together to market weight and then slaughtered. Growth, carcass data and feed efficiency information are then made available to' you. If . you sell or buy pigs, this information will have some effect on the final price. The best boars to buy are the ones that have had litter mates do exceptionally well on test; litter mates that did well on .feed efficiency, maturation. rate and carcass score. Anything above 85% is considered a good score. "First ask the owner to show you the A.B., report of the pig's litter mates or of the sow," sug- gests Norrish. Look for average carcass score, •age at slaughter, and amount of feed required." Prices? It varies, of course, with A.P. score and disease freedom. "Don't expect to get much for anything under $75," says Norrish, Another point to keep in mind is age: buy a boar when it is 5-7 months and over 200 pounds. Lighter pigs, such as weaners or 3-months olds, may not de- velop well. Finally, don't depend on one boar to do a complete job up- grading your herd. Swine re- searcher. Norris suggests: keep using good testing boars, "In one case, high testing boars were used continuously. The first generation pigs graded 66% A; the second generation 69% A; and the third generation graded 81% A. In another case, low scoring boars were used in succession and the percentage of Grade A hogs fell off 'rapidly." If all the cars in the country were end to end, 90 per cent of the drivers would pull out to pass the car ahead. * At 2 a.m. a voice was heard at; the door: "Wiley, darling, your husband is home." "Have you been drinking?" "Absolutely not." "Let me hear you say, 'Per- fect pigskin passes provide prec- ious points promptly'." "I'll sleep on the step." The transfer of a popular radio' show to 'television is not always easy, but in the case of Don Messer and His islanders the move has increased their popularity. Messer and his easy-going sidekicks appeared on the CBC- TV network last summer and since then. Don Messer's Jubilee has been acclaimed as one of the favorite folk music shows on Canadian television. The islanders, with vocalists Mang Osburne and C h a r lie Chamberlain, specialize in "down east music" and ivlesser cringes when people refer to his eel, ings as "hillbilly stuff." - - Born in Tweedside, N.B., in. 1909, Messer took to playing the fiddle at an early age and was playing at barn. dances by the time he was seven.
