Branding of Bacon Proves Sizzling Topic at Meeting Ontario Agriculture Minister, T. L Kennedy and Gordon Taggart, head of the 'Canadian Meat Board, clashed at last week meeting of the Ontario Hog Producers' Association in Toron- to on the question of 'bacon branding. Bacon shipped to the United King- dom fromOntario should bear a pro- vincial stamp, Col. Kennedy main- tained, so that the provinces product will be popularized in Europe. He said approximately 50 per cent of Canadian bacon sent to Great Britain: is produced in Ontario Mr. Taggart later objected to this procedure when he addressed menu beta of the swine breeders' group. He argued that the brand should give credit to Canada and not favor any one province, .He pointed out {that, bacon is exported under federal ausp- ices .and, .therefore, full credit should. go to the Dominion as a whole. , "We must popularize Canada," he said, `rather than any one province."
