17 Million Hogs Bacon For Britain
Canada is sending more bacon to
Britain in 1943 than during all- the
years of the first world war,' stated,
E. W. Pearsall, Chief of the Live
Stock Division, Dominion Department
of Agriculture, and Manager of the
Meat Board, at the recent national
hog conference held in Ottawa under
the auspices of the Canadian Federa-
tion of Agriculture. Canadian. farm-
ers
are this year isupplying Britain
with 85 per cent. of its bacon--• re-
quirements in comparison with from
one to 22 per cent. before the war,
he said, and -since 1939 Canada had
exported to Britain the product of
seventeen million hogs. Valued at
four hundred million dollars, Can-
ada's wartime exports of two billion
pounds of bacon and additional park
products were greater than the total
bacon and pork exports of the twen-
ty years, 1919-1939.
Rationing and restriction of domes-
tic supplies would enable the Meat
Board to be somewhere near the
mark of completing the 1943 bacon
agreement on schedule. Heavier hogs
bad ,also contributed to the total
quantity of available bacon but were
unsatisfactory for competitive ex-
ports in peacetime. Most critical fac-
tor in completing on .schedule the cur-
rent agreement with Britain for 675
million pounds of bacon was the
shortage of 'skilled labour in pack-
ing plants. On this point, Mr. Pear-
sall expressed the hope for a diver-
sion of farm- labour to packing -plants
rather than to mines or lumber camps
and. estimated- that 1,700 men were
urgently needed to kill and process
'OA hog run -.in the coming fall
'months. Even with sufficient labour
and with packing plants operating at
fullest -capacity, it would be neces-
sary for farmers to organize more
uniform deliveries of hogs.

and other pork products from Canada
to Britain are:

Leitch . Heads Farm Inquiry
Commission
Archibald Leitch, of Guelph, form-
erly head of the.. department of econ-
omics at Ontario Agricultural College
there, and' at one time chairman of
-the Dominion Marketing Board, was
named by Premier Drew as chairman
of the new Ontario Agricultural Cem-
mittee of Inquiry set up by .the Pro-
vincial Government?' --
The committee of 23 members has
been given.tile full authority of a
commission, 'by Order -in -Council. The
members were chosen by the recent
conference in Toronto of.some 400 re-
presentatives of 'farm organizations
throughout Ontario. It will seek to
put agriculture on a "sound and pro-
fitable basis."
,.The committee will begin immedi-
ately an 'exhaustive investigation into
the organiz'atioir of production and
the needs of the farming -industry
generally. The fixing of a price floor
for all farm products is one "of the
first possibilities which it will exam-
ine. .
A graduate of O.A.C., Mr. Leitch
engaged for a time in. commercial
dairying in the Western, . United
States. He returned to O.A.C. in 1914
to become associate professor of an-
•imal husbandry, succeeding W. R.
Reek, now Deputy Minister of Agri-
culture. Later he became interested
in the production of flue tobacco and
is now chairman of the Flue -Cured
Tobacco Marketing Board. . He is
president of Wyndham Tobacco Plan-
tations.
"Ontario agriculture faces the most
serious crisis. in its history," Premier
Drew said in announcing the person-
nel of the commission. It will exam-
ine a plan for county agricultural
committees.
The committee is composed of:
Howard Craise, St. Catharines; M. M.-
Robinhon, Burlington; W. Montgofui-
erv, Carrying Place; Mrs. C. Holmes,
Bellbville; Harry Scott, Norwich;
Roy Lick, Oshawa; Stewart Brown,
Shed -den; W. Bracken, Freeman; M.
13. Cochran, A]monte; Alex `McKinney,
Jr., Brampton; W. A. Dryden, Brook -
Ames Henderson, Portsmouth;
Charles Boynton, Gormley; W. L.
Whyte, Seaforth; N. A. Fletcher, Han-
non; Lloyd Griesbach, Oollingwood;
Harold 'Huffman, Blenbeim; R. J.
Scott, Betgrave; Grant Mitchell, Ed-
en, and the two temporary northern
members, M. C. Allen, Hyslop, and
Alex W. Pope, LaVallee.
Premier 'Drew said he believed the
committee is one of the most import-
ant ever appointed in the Province.
The Government has no representa-
tion on it and no member of the Leg-
islature Wil] sit on it. It is compos-
ed entirely of representatives of the
farming inlustry and may operate for
several years.

vice but there are few suelh. The bud-
get does add something to the taxes
but -the amount seems small compar-
ed to the' final costs of neglect, a cost
which takes not only dollars but must
be counted in impaired lives and the
loss of usefulness to the community.
Oxford swith its four nurses now has
a budget of $8,400 covering salaries,
transportation, equipment and sug-
plies.
The 'key: man is the M.O.H. Under
the- School Act he is responsible for
the school plant as it affects' health.
Oyler this health scheme he.mirst be
employed also for this special addi-
tional service, and this means special
additional service, and this . means
some additional recompense. In ex-
perience it develops that the M.O.H.
is enthusiastic about the plan, and he
welcomes the opportunity to -give
constructive service. His special du-
ties include a complete physical ex-
amination of every child in the first,
and again in the - eighth grades; be

The nurse, giving her whole 6lme
to the -school children, is the fou1id'ar�
tiop ,of the :plan. The Ontario aye}teapa;•
is for elementary schools, though it
may be extended to cover a continua-
tion school. Children usually get a
preliminary examination at five years
of age eo that defects ..may be cor-
rected before they enter school. In'
addition- to their complete medicals,
the children are watched by the nurs-
es who, make regular inspeetione, Vi-
sion is one point carefully checked,
and there is a yearly examination of
the eyes. The work extends to the
home inevitably as the nurse inter-
views gents When there ds a defect
which can be corrected. Again, for
instance, there is the ease of the ehiid
exposed to tubercular infection. The.
nurse goes to the home to help in
establishing the routine which will
protect the children.
To be approved by the Provincial
Department of Health there must be
enough nurses, usually one to every
thousand pupils. The nurses must be
,fully qualified; and must have had, a
public !health course of at least one
yehr—in Ontario this course is giv-
en by the Universities. Generally
there is one nurse with more experi-
ence and training and she is the sen-
iornurse, -the others are staff nurses
under her direction.
Details depend on local conditions,
err geography and roads and distanc-
es. Oxford, a compact county. 'has
bad its nurses living in, Woodstock;
now the fourth nurse may be domi-
ciled in Tillsonburg. iin the splendid
County Unit health service of the
eastern Ontario counties of Stormont;
Glengarry and Dundas, there' is a
nurse to each two townships and she
ives in the convenient village of- her.

NEW SCHEDULE
PRESERVES RATIONING
EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 30, 1943
Preserves rationing gives the consumer a number of choices both of products and •
sizes of container's. Because of the wide range of container sizes and the variation
in buying habits across the country it was necessary to put the system into opera-
tion and then make adjustments ;cin the basis of experience. "'
Now that preserves rationing has been in effect for several weeks, it is possible to
made `some increases in coupon values. The new schedule is announced below and
is effective September 30th.
The new doubled ration' allowances for molasses, extracted and comb honey will
enable consumers in areas where consumption of these products is heavy, to buy
more and still leave enough for districts where the total demand is light. •-
The increased ration allowances 'for corn, cane and blended table synips and maple
syrup are adjusted to bring coupon values more closely into line with the great
variety of container sizes now in use.
