saged the time when men would not
take up arms against each other.

The "Big 0" Pack is Honest
IA reduction of thee>, supplies arriv-
ieg in the 'British markets has' caused
a slight 'firmer tendency, in the, prices
received for Ontario apples 'selling
there, On'tar'io No..1 Baldwins have
risen from 16 to ,118 s'hillings °a 'barrel.
The future: trend of prices depends
largely on whether ,there is any re-
suntptionof abnormally heavy ship-
ments or not.
Andrew Fulton, overseas fruit rep
re'sentative,, reports that, While green
domestic grades have sho'wnn no im-
provement, there is a feeling that good
113'aldwins and .Greenin:gs may melte 20
shillings a barrel before Christmas, if
supplies continue moderate. 'Cooking
apples generally are still difficultto.
sell, any deinand 'there is being mainly
for well -colored dessert apples.
lEven in a depressed market, Mr.
'Fulton finds many proofs that central
packing and themarketingof Ontario
apples under a specialized 'brand are
(materially helping ;Ontario apple ship-
pers, (Consignments .of the "Big 0"
brand, 'for example, were practically
the first to be sold in the leading mar-
kets lately, while mis'cel'laheous ship-
ments were only disposed of with
great ditfficudty.
After studying auctions and prices
at Glasgow, Liverpool, 'Southampton,
Bristol and London, Mr, ,Fulton find's
that the "Big 0" brand apples ,have
sold at an average 'of 2 shillings a bar-
rel higher than, ordinary narks. Sev-
eral buyers have told him recently
that they find that the'"Big 0" pack
is liotvest..In this and other ways, the
'Ontario (Fruit., Growers' Association is
•building up a good reputation for cen-
trally -packed Ontario apples.
A Word to Farmers •On
Export Bacon Trade
Mr. S. E. Todd, secretary of the In-
dustrial and ,'D'evelopment Coun'cil,
Canadian Meat P'a'ckers, who was re-
cently in 'England investigating co'n-
ditioes in the bacon .trade, in an open
letter to fanners and all interested in
developing Canada's export bacon
trade, makes some interesting com-
ment, IHe states that the greatest
complaint he 'heard with respect to
Canadian bacon was lack of finish
and light weights, and he acids: "It
'would appear that farmers do not un-
derstand the seriousness of .this cost
dibion. A!t present it is impassible to
get enough paoperly_Ifinisei ed hogs. ,o;f9

best 'bacon ,for 'home use. A' part of
these unfinished and light weight
(togs may be due to l'ac'k of feed, but
Probably a great deal :of it is ,due to
the fact that producers donot quite
understand the importance of .proper
weight and finish.
"The bulk of good bacon comes
from .the •bacon and ;select grades of
hogs. There is a range of weights in
these two; grades of from,' 1180 to 230
lbs. at the farm. It is probably n'a'tural
n a
for .farmers to assume that when
hog has attained a weight of 1,1SD lbs.
in the';' bacon grade or ,190 lbs in the
select grade, that this is as, useful a
weight for export;' or domestic -purp-
oses as any weight up to 230 lbs.
Such ie not the case.': The low
weights are the minimums' and the
high, tweigl tS aa;e the maximum ' at
can be accepted. But it' is very u;
iralble that the balk of the, hogs should.
be either in the low or the 'high weig'h't'
for the bulk of the hogs should be
from 200 to 220 lbs. at the farm when
,not too full of feed.
"Hogs are now coming in quantities
at from 1180 to 200 lbs. At these low
weights ,many arc unfinished and even
a part of the heavier weights lack fin-
ish. This is disastrous to good prices
for bacon bath in the export and do-
mestic market, and of course, equally
disastrous to good prices for 'hogs.
"The difficulty of scarce feed sup-
plies in some sections is fully recog-
'uized, ,But it will pay to finish the
hogs that are on hand on the farm ra-
ther than Rood the market with • ,�
hogs. At from 1180 to 230 hogs ga
g
rapidly and make very economical lase
of feed. Hogs that are finished so as
to make bacon or select grade, bring
from fifty cents to a dollar per hun-
dred more than unfinished hogs. This
will pay for purchased feed, At the
sante time the ,market will be strength-
ened instead ofbeing 'weakened,
"Some weeks ago on account of au
extra supply of bacon being permit-
ted to be shipped to the British Isles
by 'Den:narket, the price slumped.
Since 'hat time further restrictions of,
imports have been imposed by Britain
on foreign countries and currency ex-
change has improved. The markets
have strengthened in' consequence. For
the weeks of October 26th, November
and and 'November 9th, the price of
bacon hogs at Toronto has been $5.60,
$5.75 and $6.00, showing a steady '.ad-
vance.
"It is believed that if fanners fully
understand the nced for carrying their'
