TO`MEET DANISH
COMPETITION
In an effort to maintain a contin-
uity of Canadian pork supplies
throughout any given year and there-
by to meet expected competition
from Danish beam on overseas mar-
kets of the future, the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture has initiated
a • one-year mass pig -raising experi-
ment and is seeking possible 'coopera-
tors in Perth County, it has- been an
nounced by the agrieultural retiree-
entative, R. E. White. The experi-
ment commences on .Tanuary
As an inducement to breeders to
take part in the experiment, which
will involve rather extensive book-
keeping, the department is prepared
to enter into a contract guarantee-
ing a price of $7.00 for each weanling
at the age of seven. or eight
weeks.rDung
the past few years wartime
conditions in Europe enforced com-
plete cessation of bacon exports from
Denmark, the one country which gave
Canadian bacon Stiff competition on
British and European markets. With
that condition prevailing, Canadian
bacon found a market regardless of
quality. In some sections of Western
Canada hogs were raised only as a
_wartime measure to meet market de -
Minds. The pork produced was not
of the best and 'quite,a few complaints
• were heard from British consumers.
It is -to_-he--etmaeted..thatAlenuiark
will once more find a place in the
bacon -and pork inerkets and Cana-
dian bacon will have to compete on
its merits.
' A considerable amount of study has-
been given to the hog market situa-
tion by agriculture department offi-
cials iand- one important point has
been discovered: some farmers are
better than others at raising hogs.
• The new experiments in hog -raising
is a step in determining who might
be considered the better hog raisers
to be depended upon for a year-round
production.
Boar To Be Prdvided
Partnere. who co-operate are being
asked to maintain a herd of at least
25 brood sows during the one-year
period of the experiment,. and to sell.
the weanling pigs at the best price
obtainable when they are seven or
eight weeks of• age.
While the department guarantees a
m •imum price of $7.00, the hog rais-
e is expected to use his initiative
in finding the best market for his
weanling pigs.
The department is prepared to loan
the co-operator a boar., of recognized
blood lines for breeding purposes and
some females of the litters may be
retained for future breeding.
The ,contract which will be enter --
ed into between the department and
the cd -operator asks, among other
things, that the hog -raiser record cer-
tain fa s nd figures for future stu-
dy. Th d artment will provide a
form on whi the desired inyorma-
