Huron County Leads
In Hog Production
Farmers Receive largest Bonus
in the Province on Graded
Carcasses
More hog carcasses have been
graded in Ontario than in any other
province for the first eight months
of 1941, L. E. O'Neill, director of the
Live Stock Branch, Toronto, an-
nounces, according to records com-
piled at Ottawa. Alberta is second.
Huron County shipped 26,046 hogs,
the highest figure in Ontario. The
amount of the subsidy was 517,124,60,
also the highest in Ontario.
Perth, Grey, Bruce and Wellington
counties each shipped over twenty
thousand hogs.
"Over two-thirds of all the hogs
marketed in Ontario since May 5th
have been approved for subsidy,"
said Mr, O'Neill. "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. Grad-
ing records justify the policy of the
Live Stock Branch in sponsoring
Bacon Hog Clubs in South-western
and Eastern Ontario;

percentage of quality hogs with a
percentage of 91,98 in "A" and "131"
