"Twenty-two coun- ties show over 84 per cent 'A' and 'B 1' carcasses marketed and six counties over 90 per cent, This is a record of which Ontario farmers may well be proud. It shows that they are most careful in marketing their hogs at ln•oper weights and that funda- mentally the type of hog in Central and Western Ontario is good.
