Carleton, for example, reported "splendid weather.'' Frontenac re- ported "80 per cent of the threshing is completed," while in Leeds "milk production is falling somewhat due to drying of pastures." Prince Ed- ward reported "rain is badly need- ed," In Northumberland, more than 90 per cent of spring grain crops had been harvested. Enough Feed For Stock? Agricultural officials were hops-- ful that enough grain was to be har- vested in Western and Southe'a Ontario to supply feed for stock, b'tt were not belting on it. They definitely feared that the sections would not be able to produce seed grain for next spring. Potatoes throughout these entire districts were being attacked by blight, and, it were estimated, scores of - fields, would be a total loss, The survey reveals that huu• dreds of acres of fall wheat which normally ahoutd have been harvest- ed in July, were still in the stook.

Carcass Grading Hogs to Become Official Sept- 30 Hon. James G. Gardiner, Dominion Minister of Agriculture has announc- ed that on and after September .10. 1940, carcass grading of hogs will be the official method of grading throughout Canada. The present hog grading regulations which pro- vided for the live grading of hogs since 1922, will be rescinded as from the date mentioned and live grading of !hogs will not thereafter be con- tinued. Hon. Mr, Gardiner explained that this action has been taken to insure more hogs of suitable quality tor ex- port to the United Kingdom. The progressive and anticipated increase in hog marketings followed by in- creased exports of bacon to the United Kingdom make it necessary for a much higher percentage to be suitable for export. During the past two to three years 40 to 45 per cent of the hogs slaughtered at in- spected plants have been exported to the United Kingdom, but at the present production level from 63 to 70 per cent of the hogs will be avail- able for export and, therefore, should meet export standard! .Carcass grading of hogs has been in effect on a voluntary basis for about six years. The number of hogs so graded under this voluntary system has progessively increas- ed until it now stands at 62,5 per cent of all hogs graded to date this year. Record Protion ' Hogs In Canada In the report on the June survey of the stock dealing with the ncm- ber of hogs on Canadian farms, the 1940 spring pig crop and the num- ber of sows to farrow dh the fall of 1940 it is stated that hog production in Oandaa in 1940 will be the great- est, recorded. The 1940 spring pig crop was 39 per tent, greater than that of 1989 and farmers also . re. ported 'an Increase of 27 pi. cent in the number Of sows expected to far. row in the fall of 1940. The in- crease in the sp. mg pig crop result- ed in a gain of 37 per cent in the number of hogs on Canadian farms at June lst, 1940. The total num- ber of hogs on farms at that data is estimated at 5,882,000, the high- est on record. The increase in 1940 is a con- tinuance of the upward trend in the number of hogs which commenc- ed in the spring of 1939. Two years of relatively favorable prices for hogs and an abundance of low pric- ed feed have stimulated hog raising. .As a result of the increase in the big crop, marketing's will reach new highs during the remainder of 1940 and the early months of 1941. An in- crease of over 40 per oent. is ex - pecten. FIRST MARMALADE IN DAYS OF !HENRY VIII. We use oranges to make marma- lade, but the first marmalade was made of quinces, and the word is derived from the Latin name of the quince "malomeldum". Marmalade is first heard of in the reign of Henry VIII. In a letter of this king to Lady Lisle, he "most heartily thanked her good ladyship for her ntarmarlo." lions another letter of Lady Lisle we learn that the king wrote, asking for a fresh supply of the delicacy. Pepys enjoyed marmalade, and writes in his fam- ous Diary: 'Alter a good dinner, left my wife and Mrs, Hunt making a marmalett of quince." The Usless Critic When you hear a man sneering at the local newspaper, because it is hot as big as the metropolitan city daily, you can safely bet that he does not spend any of his Money in assisting it make it bigger, and that generally the paper has dont more for him than he has for it, The man who Cannot see the benefit arcs ing from the local paper Is about as much value to a town as a Jelin- rltlentb talc lint.—Exchange, LICENSED FARM EXPORTS Among the Canadian agricultural products prohibited do •war time from expont from the Dominion, ex- cept under license, are calves stomachs, for malotig rennet used for making cheese, fertilizers, fibre flax, fibre flax seed, cheese, leather, hide's, skins and wool.
