WHAT ABOUT OUR BACON.
TRADE? •
A few, weeks ago a news item was
published in the daily prose ,stating
that Armour & Co. were .elosilig their
Hamii'tbn plant -because of the fallinw
off in the hog production and the lack
of export demand. At the saline. time,
a drop in the ,prtce of hogs at the
Union Steck Yards, Toronto, oc-
curred, which might have readily led
gamy farmers to believe that there
was some truth in the statement con-
cerning the export demand.
However, in so far as we can find
out, there is no basis, for such a -state-
ment. While it is' possible that there
is a temporary lull in the export ba-
con trade, due to the continued con-
cert trade, due to th_econtinued con-
trol' of bacon by the British food
Ministry, yet. it is only one of those
temporary reactions with which ev-
ery business hds to contend. There
is' no reason whatever to suppose
that the bacon trade as a whole is
slackening in the least,
The recent decline in hog prices
may be ascribed simply to the contin-
ued breaks in feed values. It is
quite possible that hog prices will go.
lower yet; that will depend largely
upon how feed sells. If the prices of
oats, barley,- corn and mill stuffs
continue to drop, it is but natural
that live stock quotations should fol-
low suit.
Hog raisers should not misconstrue
these price 'declines. Everyone is
agreed that prices, are getting back
to normal, and the live stock man
must be prepared to accept .lower
prices with the others. However,
there is no doubt but that live stock
prices will be longer in reaching nor-
mal than grain. This fact has been
frequently stated and there is no rea-
son to doubt it. This year has wit-
nessed bumper crops of coarse grates.
and there has been harvested in. the
States a' big crop of corn. During
the, past week grain prices have been
tumbling rapidly. And all this means
comparatively cheap feed.
With live stock prices reeeding
less rapidly it is apparent that the
best way to market_ the coarse. grains

It is impossible for hog pieces to
drop very rapidly, •ih ceruparison to
erain..hecause there are not "stiilicient
,tug's in the country to warrant a
big decline. Ip the past year there
has been a heavy liquidation of brood
sows, not only in Canada, out in the
United States. As a result, it will
require soiiie months for hog runs on
our markets to approach anywhere
near normal, and then only after con-
siderable breeding has taken place.
As farmers are aware, the price of
hogs, during the past year, has been
held below what feed prices warrant-
ed, by artificial means. At the close
of the war the British Peed Minis-
try 'found itself burdened with nnil-
lions of pounds of American fat pork,
for which it had previously contr'act-
ed, It was then up against the prob-
lem of selling this amount of pork,
which was far from palatable to the
average Englishman. Tradesmen pre-
ferred to purchase Canadian bacon,
but were forced to accept four boxes
of fat pork with every box of Canad-
ian bacon, which, .though of higher
quality, had to be retailed at the
sane price as the American pork. The
fact that Canadian bacon was used
as a bait to get rid of the fat pork
clearly shows the preference of the
Engish publicfor the Wiltshire 'side.
These rigid conditions have recently
relaxed slightly and the Food Minis-
try is finding it increasingly difficult
to force the American article down
the throats of the English public, be-
cause, in addition to the importation
of. the Canadian article, Danish bacon
is beginning to come on the English
market in increasing quantities.
This is where the Canadian farmer
must display his confidence. Until
bacon is decontrolled satisfactory con-
ditions cannot prevail, In the mean-
time, the Canadian hog. raiser must
"stand the gaff" to a certain extent
at least. Denmark is making tre-
mendous efforts to again get control
of ,the British bacon market' and are
accepting big losses for the time be-
ing in order to attain that end. Can-
adian farmers must pppose these ef-
forts by raising sufficient hogs to
hold the trade gained through the
war, and it is only right for them
to expect that, if they do their pare
by raising hogs, the English dealers
will give them the preference, since
Canadian farmers stood behind the
English nubile during the war, while
Denmark shipped her hogs to Ger-
many.
Here; then is the situation,. It le
not new, but has been in :force since
the big drop in hogs last fall. Can-
adian packershavebeen losing money
for the time being in order to hold
the bacon trade, knowing that even-
tually it would be profitable. It has
not been philanthropic motives that
have led them to swallow these losses.
Instead, realizing that prices follow
cycles, they have been looking to the
future, when they will be able to re -
deem their losses,
Canadian n Earl
Hers, however, aural
do their share to hold that trade. The
hog industry has experienced a dull
year, but with the gradual fall in
the price of feeds, the brightness of
the outlook increases. There is every
reason for confidence it the industry
if the farmers aro prepared to raise
the Bogs and be ready to step in and
hold the trade they secured during
the war; bub which has' temporarily
slacknocl because of British contkdl.
What is needed now is that those
'nen who sold otC their breeding stock,
get back into business, because there
is no doubt whatever that the main
who feeds the grain is going to make
more profit than he who hams his
grain to market—it spite of the con-
tinued, nearsighted control by the

Magazine: An elderly Scotch woman

some articles in a department shop,
and came up in court the next
morning for trial, The Police Court
Matron, the late Mrs. Whiddon was
looking after her, and the woman
was in great distress, asking her
what to clo, alt's. Whiddon said she
might get a lawyer if she could pay
for one. The woman told her that
her .husband had $200 in the bank
which they had saved up, and asked
her to see her husband about getting
a lawyer. Mrs. Whiddon found the
husband waiting for the court to
open, and she advised him to secure
a lawyer for his• wife. "I canna dee
that," he replied, "I canna afford it."
"Your wife told ane you hall over
$200 in the bank." "Ou aye, I ken
that, but that was saved up for an

HURON COUNTY BULL CENSUS REVEALS VE1tY PEW GRADES
•
The following table gives the results of a .Huron bull census taken
during the summer of 1919 by Agricultural Representative S. B. Stothers.
It will be noticed that some townships report almost clear of grades, but
the figures should not be taken in these cases as absolutely reliable.
Forms were sent out to all bull owners in the County ;.y.ldv, Stothers,Ai1
were filled in or thrown away. The owners of grades were backward in
furnishing information, consequently the numbers of those animals in the
county were actually greater than reported. However, the table may be
used as a guide:
