Huron breeder has top indexed boar Arnold Cook of Belgrave, who repeatedly has had top indexing boars at the Ontario Tet Station, again had the top indexing Yorkshire among the 76boars in the February group. This Test Station graduate from the Cook herd had a high performance index of 142 combining low backfat thickness of 14 mm (.55 in.) , rapid average gain on test of 1.0 kilogram (2.2 lbs) per day and exceptionally good feed conversion of only 2,2 lbs feed per pound.gain. A littermate with an index of 129 was second high in- dexing Yorkshire. A pair of Landrace boars from the herd of Donald Lowry, Almonte, with performance indices of 152 and 148 were the top two indexing boars in the entire group. Other top in- dexing boars in the group was another Landrace from Elmar Farms, Woodville, with an index of 126, a Duroc from Dan Lester, Forest, and a Yorkshire from the herd of Blyth Meek, Erin, both with a performance index of 121,-, Commencing with this February group, all per- formance information is reported in metric units. The performance index used 'at the Test Station evaluates the overall per- formance of each boar and combines . the important economic traits of backfat thickness, average daily gain and feed con -version into one As thousands -of Southern Ontario residents continue to dig out after recent paralyzing storms, dangerous accumulations • of snow threaten cottage and boathou.se roofs, Natural Resources Minister Frank S. Miller said last week, ° ' He advised cottage owners to check their • roofs because WO heavy a load of snow has cause structural damage or Compl to collapse to some buildings.-Scottage roofs in ' Huronia District have collapsed- due ,to heavy ac- cumulations of snow, and it is feared an overdue thaw will pack the snow and cause further damage. The situation was par- ticularly serious in Parry Sound District and along the Lake Erie shore where.cot- -tage and boathouse roofs were weighted down by packed snow. As a result, three cottages at Long Point have collapsed. Owners in the Southeastern Region of the province should have their cottage roofs checked, Ministry staff warned. The Ontario Provincial Police detachment at Owen Sound reported snow loads on cottage roofs were heavier than usual in Grey and Bruce Counties. Mild weather could cause serious damage to buildings there, police said. In addition, provincial police at Goderich have issued several warnings to cottagerts during their patrols, particularly at Amberley , Beach, south of Point Clark. Muskoka District reported nearly 1.02 .metres of snow, while Minden, Bancroft and Pembroke have had between 61 cm. and 91, cm., above composite index with the group average always 100. Thirty of the top boars in the February group including the top indexing ones men- tiioned above will be sold at the Tpst Station on February 24th at 1:30 p.m.; Only those boars. which index above average and are approved by a committee 'for physical soundness are offered for sale in these monthly Station Tested boar sales. As all boars at the Test Station are fed and handled under uniform conditions, buyers can be sure that superior performance is due to true genetic superiority for low backfat, fast gains and good feed conversion which will be passed on to the pigs they sire. average in each case. One Huntsville resident said he cleared snow, from hi's' roof twice'this winter. Reports received from Ministry of Natural Resources . district and" regional offices indicated that , snow depths throughout the province are not uniform. In Northern Ontario, heavy snowfalls have occurred along the shores of Lake Superior and Snow depths on cottage and boathouse roofs were aboutthe same as. on the ground. But, paradexicallx, part of the north had no problems because of little snow. ' Kirkland Lake District reported lighter than usual snow loads with little melting since the first snowfall. But there was a considerable amount of snow on cottages in the Gogama area, especially those with ' a shallow roof pitch. Cottage problems were fewer this year in Cochrane and surrounding areas. Kapuskasing and Thunder Bay Districts have had a lack Of snow all winter and, so far, there have been no problems. Chapleau arid surrounding areas have had above average depths of snow and the Ministry suggested that cottages with flat roofs should be checked or cleared of snow.
