At least, a report has reached us that a number of hog raisers are tvdw using lard type sows to improve the bacon standards of the County. Surely they cannot have heard that even the United States consumer has 'come to recognize Canada's bacon as supreme to that fat, shabby, 'Corn Belt stuff that floods their own markets at a price ruled 'more or less by the conditions of the cornsupply. Huron 'County hog raisers are well advised to listen to the consumer's demand rather than be persuaded by prejudice that has as a basis that short, thick hogs are easier to. raise. Maybe they are but what would happen if they were the only kind raised for our 'markets ? Better think that one over and figure where your profits would be if such condi- tions should arise because it is pre- sumed that hog raising has been a profitable enterprise for the past few years. !Several good hogs raisers have told us that they could make 'good money even if they were ob- liged to sell at around 8c, These men generally have around SO per cent.. select hogs. COUNTY VALUATION. (Goderich Sigrid) The county council met ill special session, \Vednesday afternopn, Mar. 23rd to 'deal with the matter of the new equialized assessment of the county, against which appeals had been entered by mare than half the municipalities, which appeals were awaiting trialbefore the county judge. The afternoon was spent in discussion, several of the members telling how their particular mnnici- palities were affected, until on motion of Reeve Trewartha a committee was appointed to deal with the question. This committee was composed df Reeves Beattie of Seaforth, ' LcKib- bon of Wingham, McQuaid of •Mc- Killop. Inglis of Howick, Hill of Col- borne, Hayes of. Stephen and 3ferner of Bayfield. The dove of peace evidently hover- ed over the deliberations of this com- mittee for when the" council met Thursday morning and received its report it %vas received with general approval and was adopted pnani- nloush', Some of the members said it left their municipalities worse off -than before, but they were prepared to accept the committee's -recon mends -ion in the spirit of conciliation. Reeve `McNabb of Grey, was the only one who put up any serious objection,. but in view of the -prevailing senti- ment he did not vote against the adoption of the report. The com- mittee divided the twenty-six munici- palities of the county in three classes. In the case of the ten urban munici- palities, whose assessments were in most cases considerably increased under the nen• equalization, adopted in January, the comntiitee recom- tnended that the increase be reduced by 50 percent. In the cases of the townships of [Goderich, ''Hawick, Punta, 'Turnberry and Tuckersntith, whose assessments were reduced by the valuators, it was recommended that the valuations retrain as fixed in January; and with reference to the remaining townships the committee's recommendation was that the in- crease over the old assessment be reduced by 30 per cent. With an adjustment in the valua- tion rjf the village of Wroxeter, which ,vas reduced $2,000 because of the de- struction of some 'buildings by fire, the equalized valluations are as given below._ The ,first column of figures in dfcates the old assessment which had been standing since the year 1906;' the second column shows the val`ua tion adopted in January, 1927, son 'the 'basis of the valuators' report, and the third • column is the valuation adopted by the council Thursday, cr 'Mr. and Mrs. David Laidlaw at- tended the funeral of the latter's cous- in, Mr, James Knox in Huliett, on 'Monday, 25th.
