Govt, subsidy I More hog carcasses have been grad­ ed in Ontario than in any other prov­ ince for the first eight months oF 1941, L. E. O’Neill, director of the Live Stock Branch, Ont, Dept, of Agricul­ ture, Toronto, ahiiounces, Accord.ng to records compiled at Ottawa, Ont­ ario has had 1,288,901 carcasses grad­ ed as compared with 901,590 carcasses graded in Alberta, This is an increase for Ontario of ,82,696 carcasses com-* pared with the same - period a yoaf ago. ' ' The Oritario Government subsidy of $1 on Grade “A” carcasses and 50 cents on “B 1” carcasses went into effect on May 5th last. Up until Aug­ ust 31, $243,326.50 has been paid in subsidies by the Ont. Government direct to the farmer. Mr, O’Neil state- ed, on a total of 567,696 hogs. Appli­ cations for subsidy from May 5 to August 31st was made'on 382,385 car­ casses. , “Over two-thirds of all the hogs marketed in Ontario since May 5th have been approved for subsidy,” said Mr. O’Neill.' ”Twenty-two count.es show over 84 per cent 'A’ and' B 1’ carcasses marketed and six counties over 90' per cent This is a record of which Ontario farmers may well be proud. It shows that they are most careful in marketing their hogs at proper weights and that fundamentally, the type of hog in Central and West­ ern Ontario is good. Grading records justify the policy of the Live Stock Branch in sponsoring Bacon Ho*g Clubs in South-Western and Eastern Ontario.” Simcoe county leads all others in percentage of quality hogs with a per­ centage of 91.98 in “A” and “B- 1” carcasses, with Perth a close second with 91.66. Peterborough is next with 90.99; Brant, 90.93; Wellington, 90.54; Haldiman, 90.22. Waterloo fell just short of being in the charmed “90” class, having a percentage of 89.99.
