Inspected slaugh- ter is expected to range from 3 to 4 percent below year -pre- vious levels over the six-month period, October 1965 to March Iain . Export demand to the U.S. will continue strong through the remainder of 1965. The United States situation points to firm hog prices in Can- ada well into 196u. Farmers in the ten corn -belt states, which account for nearly four-fifths of U.S. hog production, had 43.2 million hogs and pigs on hand September 1. This is 12 per cent less than reported a year earlier. Most of these hogs will make up the market supply from September 1 to Ap- ril 1. Marketings in the ten corn -belt states may be reduc- ed more than 12 per cent if far- mers hold back extra gilts to in- crease their sow herds. Canada's marketings in the October -December quarter of 1965 are expected to total 1,743 thousand head - an av- erage of 134.2 thousand per week, or six per cent below last year. The greatest drop in marketings will probably take place in Western Canada where farmers are expected to hold back additional gilts to in- crease fa:rowings next year. A smaller drop in marketings in Eastern Canada as compared to the West is indicated. Marketings in the January - March quarter of 1966 will like- ly total 1,932.0 thousand head - an average of 148.8 thousand per week, or one per cent be- low a year earlier. Western Canada is expected to continue a heavy breeding program with marketings down by 4 per cent. An increase of one per cent in Eastern Canada is forecast with the Maritimes showing a sub- stantial rise. In conclusion, producers in Canada and the United States are expected to withhold a sub- stantial number of gilts this fall for breeding purposes. Slaughter rates in both coun- tries this fall could be well be- low what the reduced pig crop would indicate. Farrowingswill probably begin to exceed year - before levels soon after January 1966. 1965 World Hay Champion Robert Fotheringham of R. R. 3, Seaforth was given an ova- tion at the annual meeting of Huron Soil and Crop Improve- ment Association in Belgrave last Thursday. Mr. Fothering- ham is the 1965 World Hay Champion. Since the hay championship competitions began five of the eight championships have come to Huron County, and two of the reserves.

Ian McAllister Elected President Of Huron Soil, Crop Association l3ELGRAVE— A record crowd of 183 gathered in the Fores- ters' Hall here on Thursday for the banquet and annual meet- ing of the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Associ- ation, Chairman was President Norman Alexander of Londes- bora, D, H. Miles of Clinton said grace. Head table guests were in- troduced by vice-president Ian McAllister. Ralph Foster, past president, thanked the ladies and Mrs. Bolt replied for the U.C.W. A welcome was ex- tended by Ernie Snell, reeve of East Wawanosh and Stewart Procter, reeve of Morris. Com- ments were given by Bob Mc- Kinley, M.P. for Huron and Murray Gaunt, M. P. P. for Huron-Bruoe; Glen Webb, reeve of Stephan Township and Tom Leiper, reeve of Hullett, who is chairman of the Agricultural Committee. D. H. Miles, agricultural representative for Huron, in- troduced the guest speaker, Dr. Stan Young, crop science de- partment, University of Guelph, who said that Canada used 16 million more bushels of wheat than she produced in the past year. He said all-out produc- tion must be more economical to compete and supply the world markets. The need for more production is good for far- mers. It will bring about chan- ges in technology, special ad- visors and better training for young people. He also stated that meat pro- duction is less profitable than crop production, and 78% of the grain produced in Ontario is fed to livestock. This year there was one million acres grown in corn and a potential to triple this amount. We are now very close to growing our own needs in com. In another phase of his talk he introduced four books for the purpose of showing the very complicated things behind one chemical. Dr. Young discussed growth inhibitors that tell a plant when to stop growing and start pro- ducing beans, as an example. Monoculture, the growing of a single crop and not using the land in any other way was ex- plained, This can be carried on for a long period of time with corn, bird's -foot trefoil and alfalfa being successful. An experiment has proven corn may be grown with no tillage whatever. The speaker was thanked by Elmer Prowe, 2nd vice-presi- dent. Entertainment was pro- vided by a trio from Seaforth. Recognition was given Bob Fotheringham, Seaforth, as World Hay Champion. District Director Jim Barrie, R.
