Huron Farmers Asked
To Raise More J -Jogs'
Larger Supplies of Bacon 'Need-
ed in 1943 to Meet Require-
fnents
In order to meet the bacon and
pork requirements for 1943 for all
purposes including the armed forces,
Ships' stores, overseas contracts and
domestic consumption, 8,000,000
bogs yielding 1,018,302,000 lbs. pork
will be required: It is estimated that
the total slaughterings of hogs In in-
spected plants in Canada during
1942 will amount to 6,251,000 head,
On this basis, Canadian farmers are
being asked to increase hog market-
ings by 1,749,000 head or 28 per
cent.
During 1942 Ontario farmers wil
market 2,137 500 hogs or 34 pe
cent. of the total hogs marketed h
Canada, At the Dominion-Provincia
Conference recently held in Ottawa
'Ontario assumed the responsibility o
increasing hog production in thi
Province by 20 per cent. as our share
of the additional one and three -qua
ter million hogs required to meet al
requirements in 1943.
The increase required in Ontario
amounts to approximately one extra
sorb per farm where pigs are now be-
ing
kept.
Huron county has an enviable re-
cord in bog production. 41 per cent.
of the hogs grade A and 52 per cent,
grade Bi. In other words, 93 per
cent of the hog's are in the top two
grades and are therefore suitable for
export overseas. In addition to qual-
ity, the quantity has been stepped up
by approximately 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. 1 to Oct. 31) over
102,000 hogs went to market.
y
Mayor John 1, Cltrff, who receiv-
ed an acclamation on Monday.
s
these figures should be added the
pigs killed for home use or sold, to
patrons of refrigerated locker ser-
vices throughout the county or sold
to local butcher shops.
The objective for 1943 has been
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 pur-
chased at reasonable prices.
2. By the use of inexpensive labor-
saving devices in hog feeding, the
progeny from an extra sow can be
raised with very little additipnal
manual labor.
3. Mortality in young pigs normal-
ly runs from '30 to 35 per cent. and
can be, yedueed materially by a little
greater care of the sow before and
after farrowing. Lack of exercise in
the sow can be responsible for many
weak litter's. If one more pig per lit-
ter is raised, our production • from.
this source alone would increase
12'e per cent.
4. Greater care in preparing ra-
tions can materially add to the pro-
fits of hog raising. Pigs fed on grain
alone will take at least 6 lbs. grain
per pound of gain. Pig's fed on a
mixture 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.
TO HOLD PARTY IN TORONTO
The Huron county Junior Associa-
tion isplanning to hold a bridge and

pecially invited to arrange to attend
this party.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
To You .. .
And we say it this year with a smile born of confidence
in the future, for not since the year 1937 has there
been so bright an outlook as at the present.' We have
absorbed a lot of punishment, beenin constant state of
uncertainty and anxiety and probably will be for a
short time yet. But the prospect is now clear before
us, and is becoming constantly and steadily better and -
brighter. So, if necessary we can still "take it" with a
smile for we have perfect confidence that in the not
'distant future the war will end, victory will be with us,
and a better day will dawn with a bright future for all.
So with a sure hope and perfect confidence in the
future we wish you most •heartily, a

I were returned to their respective of-
fices by acclamation, When the
nomination was closed Mr. James
Scott was chosen to be chairman and
in a very able manner addressed the
audience on current events pertain-
ing to municipal matters and invited
the council to the platform, The
Reeve and Councillors very ably ex-
plained to the ratepayers that were
present the past year's business and
expressed their appreciation of being
returned to office. Mr. Kay who has
had the honor of being Warden of
the county of Perth for the year
1942 gave a very clear and interest-
ing address on the county work dur-
ing the past year and also dealt very
thoroughly with the township affairs
explaining that at the end of 1938
when the present council took office,
Hibbert township debt was $9,250,
with a surplus of $4,755, and at the
end of 1942 Hibbert ,debt was lower-
ed over $6,000 and they have purch-
ased a new power maintainer 'arid
snow plow at a cost of $9,524 and
have built a shed to house this ma-
chine at a cost of $804 which is all
paid for and the financial statement
shows a surplus balance of $5,085.01
plus the government road subsidy of
approximately $3,000 which is not
considered on the financial state-
ment. It was also explained that to
accomplish this the taxes had not
been raised and that due to world
conditions the taxationwould der•
thinly increase and that Hibbert with
its surplus and the maintainer paid
for certainly puts the taxpayer in a
much better standing than if the
municipality was in debt, The meet-
ing closed with the national anthem.
