Huron County Must Cut
Road Wo: ft $80,000
Goderiet.,, -- nbe Llepartanent of
Highways for Ontario has made
drastic reduction, from $180,000 to
$100,000, as She amount en whigh It
will pay' in read subsidy to the
County of 0-lonon in 1342, County
Clerk N. W. Miller has just received
word to this effect. The letter etaes
that subsidy will be paid only on
maintenance worb,
Although there has as yet been u0
of cial reaction to this drastic ear
taitanent is the county's current
road program, it is admittedly very
disappointing, The road camvnieston
cleats not meet until Friday of this
week, when it Is expected some
action will be taken to enter a
protest.
Reductions in some townships are
even moredrastic than in the . ease
of the 'county. Goderich Township
has beeat reduced from $6,000 to
$3,000.,' Stanley from $8,000 to $3,400;
Tieokerssnith from' $9,000 to $3,600,
and Hay Township from $8000 to
$3,200.
So mu'dh damage was done to
county aced township roads in the
rainstorm of Monday, March 16, $hat
it is feared the money available
will not be sufficient. Many culverts
were w^s'hed out and in some muni-
eipalihies• It will require $2,0.00 ` to
repair this damage alone, leaving
vh•tually nothing for ordinary main-
tenance.
Want 20% increase
In Hog Production
Te meet the preseilt demands for
bacon and pork products for Britain
and also domestic requirements, a
total of• 71 million hogs will hare
to be produced in Canada this year.
This means, the Agricultural Sup-
plies Board states, that every Can.
adian hog producer is required to
produce for market this year six
hogs' for every five he raised in
1941, To attain this objective it will
be neoess'ary, the Board states:
To save as miany as possible of the
pigs farrowed;
Toincrease by 20 per cent the
number of sows 'bred this spring;
To breed sows to farrow twice
yearly; '
Tc m11"ket each hog at 200 to 210
nous 1q live weight.
Farmers throughout Canada have
in recent years dove a splendi'i job
in stepping up hog production to
meet the needs of Britain for bacon
into nvnk and to supply domesth;
requirements...: In 1933 total hog
.1nnchte•ir,gs in Canada were 8;
137.000. In that year 169.5 million
,n1m41,,, l•, were, exported. In 1941 hon
elaughterings were 6,274,000 and ex-
norta were -460,3 million pounds. In
1943 It ds'expected sleughte'ings will.
be 7,500,000 and exports. over 600
million pounds,
Farmers can obtain ' information
on the best way to increase hog p're
duction from any Dominion Expor.
