I________ ______________ one son, Oliver HOG CARCASS GRADING THROUGHOUT CANADA WEDDINGS The general application of rail or carcass grading of hogs became effec­ tive recently, through regulations pre­ scribed under the Live Stock and Live Stock Products Act. This was not an innovation in the method of market­ ing hogs, since sale and purchase on dressed grade had already been in ef­ fect on a voluntary basis for about five years, and prior to its general ap­ plication, more than sixty per cent of the hogs sold at. yards and plants were being offered for rail grading. This enabled the transition to be made with less inconvenience than would other­ wise have been the case. Any difficul­ ties encountered were largely of a physical nature and solutions are be-| ing found by the trade. Hog runs during the weeks which have elapsed since rail grading be­ came effective have been of record volume for the period, and this, coup­ led with the fact that supplies were not evenly distributed over the market days of the week, caused a certain Bell - Hedley The wedding of Barbara, only dau­ ghter of Mrs. Hedley of Toronto and the late Mr. Hedley, formerly of Ayr to Ml Elmer David Bell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bell of Harriston took place at the manse, Ayr. with the Rev. J. W, Currie officiating. The bride was gowned in wine crepe with black ac­ cessories and wore a corsage of roses. She was attended by her cousin, Miss Adele Eichler, of Toronto, who wore a dress of green crepe with brown ac­ cessories and a corsage of yellow ros­ es. Ml William Bell, brother of the bridegroom, was4best man. A recep-v amount of congestion at peak periods tion was held at the home of Mrs. Jul­ ius Eicher, aunt of the bride, after which <Ml and Mrs, Bell left on a motor trip to Northern Ontario, They will reside in Seaforth. Ml Bell is a well known Brussels lawyer and an officer of the UStlt Wingham Battery, R.C.A, Cook * Purvey A very pretty wedding was held at the United Church parsonage Slue- Oh some markets. The most common criticism of uni­ versal rail grading during the first two weeks of its operation has been that final settlement was not as prompt Us under live grading. There has been some delay in some instanc­ es due to the above mentioned concen­ tration of hog marketings during the early part of the week? making it im­ possible to kill all hogs on the day of arrival# and thus delaying final settle- ment. The solution is obvious, It lies in a more even distribution of market­ ings. The regulation of supplies has always been recognized as necessary to good marketing practice, and while rail grading machinery is being ad­ justed to cope with this situation, the hog producer can serve his own best interests by more control of his ship­ ments than is at present practiced. Hogs held for slaughter require feed­ ing and this reduces the net proceeds of sale received by the producer, The criticism has been made in same quarters that rail grading tends to divert hogs from the stock yards and to increase direct shipments to packers. The experience during the first two weeks of complete rail grad­ ing does not in any way bear out this contention. It is held that, as in the past, the efficiency of the service pro­ vided by the selling agencies at stock yards will largely determine whether hogs will be shipped direct to slaugh­ ter or through stock yards. The serv­ ice of stock yard operators is in no way reduced, and facilities exist whereby the small butcher and oper­ ator may continue to do business in a satisfactory manner. While hog producers as a whole have had ample opportunity to be­ come familiar with rail grading, there are some who, having been used to selling their hogs on live grading, find it §omewhat difficult to understand the detail of rail grade settlement, and to relate the rail grades to the former live grades. .For their information the following comparisons are made. Rail grade “A” is the product of the Select hog. Grade Bl is the product of the Bacon grade hog, and B2, B3, Cl, C2 and C3 the product of the Butcher grade. Lights and feeders have been separated since feeders are purely a live weight sale, and the remaining grades carry approximately the same grade, dressed, as under live grading. Since the regulations require that the producer’s hogs shall be marked for identification, the producer is in a position when receiving his settlement on rail grades to identify his hogs with their live weights and grade. Thus the educational factor, recogniz­ ed under live grading as one of the most important objectives, is not only maintained but further emphasized. Rail grading is a much truer indica­ tion of bacon type and quality than live grading, and therefore more clear­ ly illustrates to the producer the strong and weak points in his breed­ ing and feeding. The rail grade re­ turn is, therefore, a further step to­ ward hog improvement. Although there are prospects for an all time record in hog marketing dur­ ing the next twelve months, the great­ ly increased proportion of them re­ quired for export will make it diffi­ cult to maintain the standard of ex­ port quality in our bacon unless the quality of the market hogs is further improved. Difficulties, mostly of a local char­ acter, may be met with from time to time in the operation of the rail grad­ ing system, but the experience already Secured through five years of volun­ tary carcass grading, indicates that a satisfactory solution can be found, and in the course of a few weeks the prac­ ticability and value of complete rail grading will be manifest.
