Broughton, of the Departmental staff, should avoid rushing unfinish- ed birds to.- market, • particularly at this season. • Too many birds of un- finished quality reaching the 'market are likely to cause a break in prices. On the other hand, if these birds are held over, and given proper finish,. better prices will be realized by the producer.,. It is anticipated than firm prices will follow the holiday season for quality poultry. ab Weekly Crop Report ., Peel County reports that owing to the low pork and beef prices, farm- ers are ,killing their own meat sup= plies, in fact dressed hogs are being sold by fanner to householders both in Toronto and Brampton, runners are also burning More of their own wood than ever before. and woodlots are being cleaned up and all mature trees taken out.

During October, 40 per cent. of the hogs marketed through Wentworth Packing' Plants graded Select Bacon and 54 per cent, bacon. amt[:=1. Pointers on Hog Feeding The following points are recom- mended as valuable in hog feeding: Grind all grain. Fine grinding is recommended especially for young pigs. Soak meal mixture between meals; do not use too much water but feed as a relatively thick slop. While there are many different methods of feeding bogs, the use of a good tight trough is safe and re- duces wastage. Fresh clean water should be pro- vided between meals. Pigs should be fed three times daily for at least one to two weeks after weaning; two feeds . daily w 11 then be sufficient. • Growing pigs are very fond of and can make excellent use of green' feed. For winter feedings pigs relish a littIe fibrous matter to chew and they heed it regularly. • Give the second cut of ''clover or alfalfa or any well -cured' grass or cereal crop that has been cut "green. The desirable effects of feeding a little mangels dailyare too well known . to need further comment. The important thing ts; to sea that all pigs, except the very.. young, get some form _ of vegetable matter re- gularly. . Make your feeding count with a balanced ration. Whore milk in some form' is not available, feed tankage as a protein supplement: O.A.C. Rhodes Scholar For the first time in the history of the institution, a Rhodes Scholar- ship has come to a student of Ontar- io Agricultural College. The win- ner is William J. Garnett; B.S.A., a graduate of the glass of 1932. Re- garded as the first prize among all honors bestowed on students, a Rhodes -Scholarship is of the annual value of .409 pounds and calls for residence at Oxford University' for two years. Among the qualities con- sidered in the award are character. scholarship, athletic ability and leadership among fellow •students. William Garnett was born in Eng- land in 1909 and came to Canada with his parents in 1926. He•studied at O.A.C., attending sessions in the winters and engaging in farm occu- pations in the summers. He was proihinent in College athletics, lit- erary ,work, debating and dramatics. He was editor of the C.A.C. Review for two years and in 1929 won the Governor -General's Silver Medal for general proficiency. He is now fol- lowing post -graduate work and is in- vestigating with vegetable crops in the greenhouses. He is classed as one of the outstanding men to gra- duate•from the College. A N6. INTER. Br]tish A PP le Market Ontario faraireirs made a remarkable Andre ' w Fulton overseas fruit e- :Grain r Show a. w t Chicago. ca .o. T h .total. resentati re g o apples ' in the British markets, are n 172and the total number of prizes record at,,the International .Hay and. presentative,. ports that prices of umber of entries from, Ontario was likely to continue at their present level until the New Year. These prices range from 21 to 25 shillings for No. 1 quality red apples. He predicts that if increased prices are to be obtained this, season :at ail, it will be for shipments arriving: dur- ing January, February and March. This is due, to the heavy supplies of both 'barrels and boxes that have been arriving at all United Kingdom ports and that the provincial-enar- kejts are filled up with apples, as very few • have moved into consump- tion. There is also a lack of demand on the Continent resulting in heavy supplies corning to the United King- dom. Boxed apples are arriving in exceptionally }large quantities, ;.es, pecially. from British Columbia, and auetion prices are • loW. ;The pur, chasing power in. Great. Britain has been considerably reduced as com- pared , with last year and what was considered a small ,quantity of ap, ples two, or three years ago, is now a large quantity. The result is that shippers are not likely to receive fancy prices for apples from now on, unless the rate of exchange shows some improvement. There should be a good demand for cook- ing apples after the New Year. Mr. Fulton stresses the need of care in marking correct sizes on barrels and the desirability of a uniform and at- tractive "face" to sell the pack. Quality Brings Price "In spite of the usual heavy De- cember marketings, at the Union Stock Yards, choice cattle are still bringing a favorable price margin," commented Garnet H. Duncan, live stock investigator, Ontario Market- ing Board. "This should serve as a reminder to producers that quality is a very definite factor in any orderly scheme of marketing. Forced liquidation for tax payment, is one reason for the market being flooded with, stock of both choice and indifferent quality, at certain periods of the year°. If this is se, I would say that a remedy might be effected by means of co- operation between the producer and his local municipal authorities." .. ........ rnsremam raWOVM ' ' ' '.

A resolution was adopted asking the Government to pass legislation for the cutting bale to the Deaconess Horne in To- and unsprayed orchards within 500 yards of a commercial orchard, with the object of combating .the maggot. It was pointed out that with the preference provided in the British fruit market for Canadian fruit it was up to the growers to look of ter that market. ANOTklkalt..
