According to reports from the Toronto office of the Livestock and Livestock Products Division, Mar- keting Service, Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture, hogs being marketed in Ontario are much fat- ter atter than they have been in the past. The percentage of C grade has about doubled from normal and the percentage of hogs approaching C grade, because of fatness is in- creasing. This situation is caus- ing concern to packers across the Province and is 'bringing a number of complaints from producers and shippers regarding the increase in C grade hogs. Reasons for the extra amount of fat appears to arise from ' three main causes: (a) the large volume of home-grown feed on hand on -Ontario farms which is being fed without 'protein concentrate; (Ib) ,the large increase in the number of farmers who are hopper feeding in order to save labor; (c) the probable effect of antibiotics in prepared feeds.

Current interest rates are 5 per cent on first mortgage anda51/2 per cent on second mortgage.
