"-&--A Huron Farmers Requested to Increase Hog Population In 'order to meet the bacon and pork requirements for 1943- for all ,purr poses including the armed forces, ships' stores, overseas contracts and domestic consumption, _8,000,000hogs yielding 1,018,302,000 lbs pork will be required. Itis estimted that the total slaughterings of hogs' in inspected plants in Canada during 1942 will amount to 6,251,000 head. On this ba- sis Canadian farmers are being asked to increase hog marketings' by 1,749,- 000 head or 28 per cent. During 1942 Ontario farmers will market 2,137,500 hogs or 34 per cent of the total hogs marketed in Canada. At the Dominion -Provincial Confer- ence recently held in Ottawa, Ontario assumed the responsibility of increas- ing hog .production in this Province by 20 per cent as our share of the additional 1 ,3-4 :million hogs requ red to meet all requirements in 1943. The increase required in Ontario amounts to approximately one extra sow per farm where pigs are now being kept. Huron County has an enviable re- cord in hog production. 41 per of the hogs grade A and 52 per cent El. In others words, 93 •per cent of the hogs are in the top two grades and are therefore suitable for export overseas. In addition to quality, the quantity has been stepped up by ap- proximately 40 per cent over peace time. In 1941, over 125,000 hogs were marketed at packing plants and in 1942 for the first ten months (Jan ist to Ott. 31st) over 102,000 hogs went to market. To these figures should be added the pigs killed fo.: home use or sold to patrons of re frigerated locker services through out the county or sold to local butch er shops. The objective for 1943 has beet set at 150,000 hogs from Huron. It is believed this increase can be obtained. The following four points are being featured. 1.—There is an abundance of grain on most farms and grain can be pus - chased at reasonable prices. •2. --By the use of inexpensive lab- our-saving devices in hog feeding, the progeny from an extra sow can be raised with very little additional manual labour. 3.—Mortality in young pigs norm- ally runs from 30 per cent to 35 per cent and can be reduced materially by a little greater 'care of the sow before and after farrowing. Lack of exercise in the sow can be re- sponsible for many weak litters. If one more pig per litter is raised, our production from this source alone would increase 12 1-2 per cent. 4.—Greater care in preparing rat- ions can materially add to the pro- fits of hog raising. Pigs fed on grain alone will take at least 6 lbs grain per pound gain. Pigs fed on a mix- ture balanced by the addition of some protein supplement can be fed on 4 lbs of mixture per pound gain. A sow bred today can produce a ton of pork in ten months. We can increase meat production through hogs much faster than through cattle or sheep but even at that, sows must be bred at once if the pigs are to be marketed in 1943. V BAmELD A social gathering was held in the Town Hall on Saturday even- ing to honor members of the armed forces who were 'hone -on leave. During the evening Privates Joe Wild and Keith Gemeinhardt, A. C. Bill Robinson and Stocker Merton Merner, were called to the platform, Miss A. M. Stirling, president of the Red Cross Society read the following address. One of the things that differentiat- es mankind from the brute creation is the sense of duty. Some have been endowed with this sense more than others, but all possess it in spine de- gree. The little boy on his way to school will protect his tiny sister from some imagined danger, for he instin- ctively feels that it is his duty to do so; the mother throws herself in the face of a wildbeast to protect her child—she can do no other; the father plunges into a burning building to re- scue his family—he cannot prevent himself from so doing; the life -guard bids his wife and children good-bye and launches out into the storm to re- scue those whom he has never seen before and who are complete strang- ers to him; the by stander clash- es in front of an automobile to rescue a little child and having done so quickly disappears unknown into the crowd. Such are men, women and children, glorious in their sense of duty, wonderful in their willingness to pay the supreme sacrifice if need be. "And" we read in the New Testa- ment, 'Even so, when you have done all the things that were commanded you, say, we are unprofitable servants we have done only that which it was. our duty to do." Once again the call of duty has come to brave men and ,women in many lands, and they are answering the call. It is the call, in many in- stances, to leave home, to leave the MANTON, ONT.
