Rome — Government circles indi

from any effort of Adolf Hitler to

Chamberlain Rejects Hiter Plan
London — The British Government

his choice of war to the bitter end or
real, lasting peace fortified by effect

conditions, Prime Minister Chamber-

“The issue is plain. Either the Ger

makes a request for one within a
reasonable length of time after the
hogs are marketed. Such requests
should give complete information re

be addressed to the official swine
grader at the point where the hogs
were graded, or the nearest office of
the Live Stock1 and Live Stock Pro

Hallowe’en — the night of goblins,
ghosts and thrills. You can have the
gayest of parties at little cost and

aid of decorated crepe paper, cut-outs,
and the owls, witches, bats and spook's

decorations, of course; but if you are

you will welcome the party set-ups

Inquiries are frequently received
from farmers requesting information
as to the grading of hogs tthey have
marketed. The Department of Agri
culture does not, as a geneiral prac
tice, mail hog reports or loertificates
direct to farmers.
It is true that a large nttmber of
official reports have been forwarded
direct to farmers, ;but .this is only an
auxiliary service, necessarily limited
in scope, and subject to (discontinu
ance at any time. Provision has been
made for the farmer to receive a
grading report on his hogs promptly
through the regular trade channels,
and if it is not forthcoming the far
mer should look to his truck'er, ship
per or" agent for it. It may be taken
for granted that there is no delay on
the grader’s part in making grading
information immediately available to
buyer and seller.
The following is an extract from
the pamphlet “The Carcass Grading
of Hogs - Information for Farmers”
dealing with this subject:
“Carcass Grading Certificates
The grader issues an official car
cass grading certificate covering each
farmer’s lot of hogs identified for Tail
grading. This may be in either one
of the following forms:
1. A statement supplied to? ,the
shipper, showing*the grading on each
farmer’s lot of hogs in the shipment.
In this case the farmer should make
a point of seeing this statement or
requiring a record of his own grad
ing from the shipper along with the
settlement for his hogs. This system

This
vidtial carcass grading reports to far
mers as time permits but this service
is necessarily limited, and such re
ports are often delayed several days,
2. An individual carcass grading
certificate for each farmer’s lot of
hogs made out by the grader and
made available to the farmer through
the shipper, Commission firm or pack

the hogs are sold on the basis of
dressed weight.
