Mr. Geo. Paulin acted as chairman. The first part was given by Public School pupils in charge of Misses Little and Mitchell. The chorus by the senior room was good, and showed the• ad- vantage of their special musical training, during the past year. From the tiny tots with their nursery rhymes, to the negro comedian band, it was a creditable 'performance. The second part .tool. the form of: a Comedy -Drama, in three acts "A Little Clodhopper," by Walter Ben Hare. The story is built around "Judy" (Lily Waller) the little clod- hopper from the poor house, mis- chievous little romp, who was des- erted by her father years before who has since become rich in Texas where he lives; Miss Julietta Bean (Vera Durst), the ':boarding house- keeper and her helper "Ocey" (Wen- dell Finlay) who later becomes her husband.

Septimus Green (Stuart Higgins), who also loves Judy; •Charmian Carter (Len- ora Higgins) the actress who appears on the scene and marries George in spite of his mother's designs. Judy's father who returns and clears mat- ters for everyone, a happy ending, The cast. deserve great credit for their splendid acting, holding the in- terest of their audience all the way through. The lovely costumes of the young ladies added much, too.

The school orchestra, composed of Misses Gamble and Edgar, George Brown, jack MacLean and Stewart Higgins very capably filled in be- tween acts.

There will be practice on Saturday Ontario Live Stock Branches, Bacon Litter Competition Bacon Litter Competitions were organized by the Dominion anti On- tario Live Stock Branches, for the object of .establishing a standard of excellence for grade brood sows kept by farmers. This competition aims to give good prolific, proper conformation brood sows, prominen- ce as breeders in their respective cen- tres, in the hope that female progeny will be selected as foundation brood sows. In 1930 there were 124 entries in the Bacon Litter Competition and in 1931 there were 268 entries. As well as encouraging the distribution of choiceyoung sows as a result of this competition, the Ontario Live Stock Branch, in co-operation with the Dominion Live Stock Branch, have assisted inplacing of high type young brood sows among commun- ities of farmers in the Province, and such communities are on of the fav- orite centres for the loaning of high type boars, by the two Branches. For the Bacon Litter Competition, the Province is divided into, the necess- ary number of Districts, and in .each, district prizes are given for the lit- ters when they go to market. Such points as Sizes of Litter, Rate of Maturity, Percentage of Selects, etc,, are, used as a basis of scoring. ' Bacon. Sow Policy The Dominion . Live Stock Branch makes a provision for the purchase of sows at the current market price, Sows are selected by Federal Offic- ials and, when shipments of twenty sows or over are made to groups of farmers, the Dominion and Ontario Live Stock Branches share fifty-fifty in payment of freight charges. Boar' Bonus Policy For the purpose of encouraging and assisting farmers in purchasing and maintaining boars for the pro- duction of commercial hogs, the Fed- eral and Provincial Departments of Agriculture offer the following bon- uses on a fifty-fifty basis, to any bona -fide farmer or group of farm- ers purchasing a pure bred register- ed boar: Advanced. Registry XXX Boars $20 Approved XXX Boars $15 Swine Carlot Competition To bring home to the drover and farmer the question of type, quality and finish in our market hogs, the Ontario Live. Stock Branch, in co- operation with the Dominion De- partment, and Fair Associations, stage each year carlot competitions. At the Canadian National Exhibition a special carlot competition was held at which nine carlots of forty hogs each were on display in 1931. At the Royal Winter Fair the drovers unite in bringing in select groups of hogs which are placed in competition as lots, the choicest of these hogs from the Ontario Carlot of forty head which is in competition with the other provinces of Canada. At the 1930 and 1931 Royal Winter Fairs, the Ontario Carlots were win- ners against the keenest competition afternoon for the S. S. Xmas enter- from neighboring Provinces. tab -intent. SWINE POLICIES IN ONTARIO Bacon Hog Club This policy was instituted in 1932 for the purpose of improving the commercial hogs in the Province, through the use of better sires. It aims to place swine improvement work on a' community basis, hence clubs consisting of ten or more mem- bers, with at least twenty-five ap- pmoved sows, may secure the loan of an approved boar. Two hundred and ninety-seven such clubs were in ex- istence on the 31st day of October 1931. Of this number ninety-eight were started during the year 1931, One hundred and sixty-eight were started during the year 1931. One hundred and sixty-eight boars were purchased during the year for use in these new clubs and also for replace- ment in some of the old clubs. These clubs are distributed throughout 84 Counties and three Districts in the Province of Ontario. Beginning Jan. 1932, while the organization of the Clubs is similar, they are being fin- anced on a fifty-fifty basis by the Dominion arid Ontario Live Stock. Branches. Bacon Hog Fairs In order to round out the useful- ness of Bacon Hog Clubs, "Bacon Hog Fairs" are organized each year at various points in the Province, at which fairs breeding and market hogs are entered in the competition. Lectures and demonstrations are giv- en along improved swine industry, and as to the proper type of market frogs. The cost of this is borne To thr equally between the Dominion and To th It Pays to Finish Hogs The low price of pork and pork products very often results in the marketing of many unfinished hogs. This in turn forces the market to ever lower levels and results, in many cases, in losses to the producer whereas the sale of a finished pro- duct would have shown a profit. In times of depression the advantages of marketing only superior quality pro- ducts am even more marked than when prices are high. For example, in 1929 when hogs were selling for L 12 cents per pound or more, the premium on a select hog was $1.00 or an increase in the value of a 200 - pound lhog of 4.17 per cent. In 1932 with a price of 4 cents per pound the increase in value on a select hog is 12.15 per cent. Similarly the percent- age dockage on grades below bacon is increased with a decrease in hog Experimental NURSE LOSES 7 LBS.
