More hogs miss the A grade because of just a little too much fat, than for any other single reason, This is pointed out once again by the latest semi-annual hog carcass survey conducted by the Canada De- partment of Agriculture, which shows that nearly 93°/o of all B hogs could have been A's if they had been sent to market with less finish. A year ago, the comparable figure was90%. Grade B hogs in Eastern Can- ada were faulted 94.8% for be- ing overfinished, while 89% of Western 13 hogs were criticiz- ed for this reason. There was still a significant number of hogs that missed the A grade because of improper weight. About 20 of all B hogs were either a few pounds over or under the required dress- ed weight range of 135-170 lbs, This compares to 23% a year ago. Student: " Hey, what's the idea of wearing my raincoat?" Roommate; "You wouldn't want me to get your suit wet, would you?" size; it will be made of twenty guage cold rolled steel, and will be double faced (the sign will be painted on both sides). The cost of the sign to qualify- ing farmers will be $1.00 with the Junior Farmers' Association of Ontario subsidizing the re- mainder of the cost. There will be four holes in each sign -- two at the top for mounting and two at the bottom for at- taching a name plate (if the farmer wishes this, and at his expense). In order to qualify, a farm must be resided on, and it must be in active operation; farms must be registered in the same family name for 100 or more years as of January 1st, 1967; farms in the name of a widow will qualify; an incorporated farm will be eligible. It is estimated that over 300 farms may qualify for century farm sign recognition in Fluron County. Accept Tender On Motor Grader West Wawanosh Township Council met in special session on March 1, for the purpose of opening and considering tenders for a new motor grader. Three tenders were received. The tender of Dominion Road Machinery Company Ltd. of Goderich, for a 160 horse- power motor grader, at the price of $16, 360, 000 (which does not include sales tax), was accepted. Kenneth Wilmot, engineer with the Department of High- ways at Stratford, was in at- tendance. Mr. Wilmot and the road superintendent went out during the afternoon to inspect several culverts and sections of road in the township which will need re-construction in the near future. On their return Mr. Wil- mot gave to council his recom- mendations. He stated that the Depart- ment does not want a number of small road construction jobs done, and the proper procedure is to construct no less than one block at a time. He also re- commended that the replace- ment of culverts and re-con- struction of roads be done at the same time. He suggested with- holding construction on certain of the roads around St. Helens until the culverts can be re- placed. Mr. Wilmot said in closing that since the county is reconstructing the Dungannon- Luc know road this year, the township should not let the op- portunity slip by of using the fill that L,an be obtained from the county at that time, to place it at the bottom of Glenn's 11111 on the Orb Alex McBurney Acts as Clerk of East Wawanosh The council of the Township of East Wawanosh met in regu- lar session, March 1st, at Bel- grave with all the members present.
