Hemingway) The new methif1 of selling hogs has been in operation for two weeks at, time of writing. •a"'x.":a7414 s me conflicting views,;and_.t;:tam _r pre Wee- iticrC`ase"wlie%Aa come about is quite acceptable but there seems to be conflicting opinions as to how touch credit should go to the. new method of sale. The number of hogs going to market hardly justifies the change in price. k'erhaps we would de well to wait a little before: forming opinions. One thing that seems to be causing general dissatisfaction is the wide variation in prices from day to day and even on the same day. The result seems to be requests for the pooling of the pace so that over a given period the price weutd be the same to all producers. As has been stated many times by the Hog Producers' Marketing Board, it can be done. ' However, in the past, the powers that con- trol the regulations under the Act have told us that new regul- ations would have to be passed and perhaps a vote of producers wguld be necessary to make pooling legal. Now the Hog Producers' Mar- keting Board have received some indication from the Farm Products Marketing .Board that pooling of price could take place without an particular difficulty. Definite clification will have to come from Government be- fore any action can be taken. The second consideration is the period over which the pool- ing would take place. If on the basis of one week, there would be no appreciable increase in costs of operation. Most farmers would be several days late in re - ceiving their cheques. If the period were by the quarter in- terim, payments would be neces- "`i y,.; anal .cnectrun .. cglsxs ,wou d. nereaa '. •so ethin `• -like 470,000, or 'alma e , � st u Flo ble „pre - : n¢ gip, qtr :4S � illt:X'.�.+at.4,A ir'-'-.h.y, s• The third prat e3n to be con- sidered. is the area • of pooling: If it is. for the whole southern Ontario area there is do -problem but there is a difference in qual- ity between a Grade A corn fed hog carcass and a Grade' A car= sass from a hog fed om an oat - barley ration. This could cause dissatisfaction, since Grade A hogs from areas of a high corn ration have - been selling 20, ,to 50c below other ,,areas. If boundaries for areas' are to be set up, the difficulties are great.

Although eastern Canada was discovered soon after Columbus reached America in 1492, more than 250 years passed before the first European ship was sighted off .the coast of British Coltitnbia. First to sail near the rocky headlands were Russian explorers searching for the sea otter. It was not long, however, before Spain, Britain and France were attempting to carve them- selves empires in the Pacific. Rivalry between Britain sand Spain was fierce for a few years. The wolverine is aur ember of. the weasel family much dis- liked by trappers. The Book of Knowledge names him as an in- veterate thief who will steal the bait from traps, other animals already trapped and even the trap itself.
