addressing the gathering of 390 pro-

sion', as the hog scheme was about
to be put into effect and stressed the,
responsibility this will 'entail. "You
are part of a big industry known ov-
er theefentire world," said the speak-
er. It .has grown to be- a 1fT6- mil
lion dollar export business, and is
vital to our national economy: Pres-
ent Bonuses are consumer bonuses,
not producer, said Mr, McGinnis, and
future help to our industry must be
on a quality basis. You are entitled
to fuil-cost of production, plus a rea-
sonable. profit fdr your product. •
The secretary's report showed a 65
`million dollar industry in Ontario, and
last year -we in this 'province produc-
ed 39 per cent of all hogs marketed
illi the Dominion. Mr. Tummon On=
tario Secretary, stated that :67 per
cent of alt /3'-1. hogs were placed hi
that grade by improper feeding, 'and
it was r not the fault of the hog. Fifty
_.per cent were too fat and 17 percent
were 'etfheir too •'heavy 'or light in
