rataer than less direciion and re- guiation? From what quarter will it be applied?’

The belief is held by many thinking people and students of the problem that in many coun- tries agriculture will become al- most in the nature of a public utility with a great deal of direc- tion and. regulation by Govern- ment. Certainly, present trends in production and marketing appear to point to more regulation than has been the case in. the past.

If the farmer has no choice but a future of regulation and direction he may have &:some choice in the quarter from which they will proceed. It is possible that through his own organiza- tion the farmer can control and de¢ect the regimentation. To some extent he may also influ- ence it when applied by Govern- ment. The third alternative is that of private concerns, corpor- ations, feed and packing houses and those who control c2agital. Which of the three will eventual- ly call the plays can be deier- mined by the farmer himself providing he takes an interest in! the matter and is willing to do/ somé work in controlling his own business. FARM FORUM This week a special Maritime Farm Forum committee met in Pictou and among other matters decided the regional topics for November 9 and February. The first one will.deal with the ques- tion of Maritime unity—political, economic and educational. The winter topic will discuss the value and development of the credit union movement to and in the rural community. A strong committee was named to prepare reading material in connection with these topics. It was announ- ced that the National Secretary of farm Forum will visit the Maritimes during the last week i that

Cutting out the premium on grade B hogs makes quality even more important to Prince Edward Island swine breeders. Hog pro- ducers in this province should in the future ‘exercise more care in breeding,” stated H. W. Clay, senior livestock fieldman, in commenting on an Ottawa despatch concerning a new sys- tem of national grade standards for hog carcasses.

SOW SIDE

‘Lots of hogs are grade B due to indifferent breeding, especial- ly on the sow side,”’ he said.

The revision in hog grading, to start Oct. 5, will mean that hog producers will have to market slightly leaner, meatier hogs in order to collect the federal gov- ernment premium on top grade animals.

Agriculture Minister Harkness, announcing the change Monday,

jalso said that starting in the lat- ‘ter part of next year the $1 a

head premium paid by the gov- ‘ernment on grade B hogs will he ended. After that, the only premium will be the present #2 a head for grade A_ hogs. WHOLE PROFIT .

In connection with the above Mr. Clay felt that the produces of Grade*® hogs would find it dif- ficult to survive. “Sometimes,” he said, ‘the $1 premium on grade A hogs plus the premium of $1 a cwt the -packing plants

have been paying -- this means $1.50 a hog on average or a total of $3.50 — could well represent the entire profit on hogs.”

.Mr. Clay regarded the an- nouncement as one of the most important to hog producers in some time. He felt, despite the fact that the Island had an envi- able reputation throughout North America, and the world, in the production of bacon hogs still more care should be exercised in breeding. - : In citing the high standard set here in the producing of grade A hogs, he said he knew of one prominent producer who out of a number of consecutive ship ments of 141 hogs had 137 grade

Such flights are not unusual. In the old days when the duck season opened on the Amherst marshes on September ist and in this province on. September 15th I noted, during pre-season patrols, that our local duck increased rapidly after Septem- ber ist. Some marshes filled up over night.

HOW YOUR

Laboratory tests have now proved that liver bile emulsifies fats... actually breaks them down. It is an established fact that when liver bile is added to fatty solids, the fats are broken .down and form a smooth,

headquarters of several hundred Blue-wing teal and ‘about half as many blacks were practically devoid of ducks. In the past it was nothing unusual to count
