-MORE BACON NEEDED IN 1943.
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 hogs.
yielding 1,018,302,000 lbs. pork will
be required. It is estimated that the
-total slaughtering of hogs in inspect-
ed plants in Canada during 19142 will
amount to 6,251,000 head. On this
basis, Canadianfarmers are being
asked to increase hog production by
1,749,000 head of 28%
During 1042 Ontario farmers will
market 2,137,500 hogs or 34% of
the .total hogs marketed in Canada.
At the Don -Prov. conference recent-
ly held at Ottawa, Ontario assumed
the responsibility . of increasing hog.
produej ion in the Province .,by 20% -
as our share of the aditional 1% mil-
lion 'hogs required to 'meet aih iequ
irenents in 1943:. :_
,Hron -County has an enviable ,re-
cord'in hag production. 41 p:c. of the
hogs grade A and 52 p.c. grade B1.
In other words 9.3 p.c. of the hogs
are inthe top two grades and are
therefore, suitable for export overse-
2
as. In addition to quality, the quan-
tity has been stepped up by approxi-
mately 40 p.c. over peace time. In
1941,.over 125,000 hogs were mark-
eted at packing plants and in 1942
for the first ten months of tare year
over 102,000 hogs went to market.
To these figures should be added the
pigs killed for home use or sold to
patrons of refrigerated locker serv-
ices throughout the county or sold to
Local butcher shops. The objective
for 1943 has been set at 150,000 hogs
from Huron. -
A sow bred today can produce a
ton of pork in ten months. We can
increase meat production through
hogs much faster thanthrough cattle
or sheep but even at that, sows must
be bred at once if the pigs are to be
marketed; in -1 '4a.
