The following review of swine production was given at the an- nual meeting of the Swine Breed- ers Association by Mr. H. W. Clay:

"In reviewing the 1&1 swine production of P. 12. Island. we find that we have continued to make improvement in both volume rind quality. We again lead all Can- ada in the percentage of grade "A" hogs and in high scoring sows tested under Advanced Registry. Our winnings ' at the Maritime Winter Fair and at the Royal Win- ier Fair hit a record. the predic- tion of which a few years ago would have been considered fan- tastic. All our efforts in 1952 must be directed to hold this pre- sent dominant position.

"The past year has been good to the producers of all classes of live stock including hogs. While the price range fluctuated widely between 39 and 25 cents dressed weight. the average price has been satisfactory beyond our expecta- tions. This variation in price ll a matter which is highly displeas- Ing to the producer. In fact. it displeases everyone concerned. even the packer.

"Why should we have this wide price range in any one year? The answer io the problem is the often quoted and sometimes over used words: 'Suppiy and demand! The consumbr requires a certain defin- ite amount of meat products ev- ery week of the year. We have over 1-1.000.000 people in Canada. We are producing about 5.000.000 hogs per year. This is roughly one-third of a hair per capital or close to 1 lb. of dressed pork pr-r

. eek. i Trlfllng Increase

N "This is the demand. What are

ilVP doing about the supply? in ll950. Canadian hog production was l4.776,720. in 1951. it was 4,897,- '116. This is a trifling increase which should not have unacttlcil the price if the supply had been steady throughout .the year. What happened was that during early 1955). and particularly in mid-sum- lmer. we gave the consumer much less pork than he wanted and then we swamped him with pork in the fall. and he reacted ac- cordingly.

"In Western Canada where a .large percentage of our hogs nrc iproduced. it is inevitable that, 'due to climatic conditions, there will continue to be a heavy fail run of hogs when the-market is loaded with lamb. dressed poultry. and in more than average run of cattle. Consequently. we can ox- pcct. that there will continue to be a decline in hog prices each fall. In this Province. where the climate is less severe and where we have better housing conditions. lwe could dodge this fall price dc- clinc by a breeding proizranf plan-

ahlpped in July and August. when price: are consistently higher. "During the fall season. this sur- plus pork must be cured or frozen and carried perhaps for six months to fill the vacuum caused by a scarcity the following summer. The packer's money is tied up. it

:is expensive to carry meats in cold

storage month after month. in addition, there is a shrinkage in weight which is a considerable factor in cost.

"Another feature contributing to the processing cost and caused by uneveness of supply is the mat- ter of skilled labor in the pack- inpz plants. To handle efficiently this heavy full hog run, the pack- or must have a force of highly trained butchers, cutters. and oth- or specialized help. Such men and

in-omen cannot be picked off the Istreet in the fall and let out in :the summer. They must he retain- -ed throughout

the year even

when hogs are in short supply.

lnll these factors must in the end ibe deducted from the price

the farmer receives for his hog when shipped. All this emphasizes the importance of having more winter 'iltters born before March 1st.

Far Out In Front

. "The steady improvement of Is- land market hogs during the past 'ten years has been an amazing ac- complishment to the swine grow- ers of other provinces. The fol- iowing statement shows the per- centage of grade 'A' bogs and the number marketed in Prince Ed- ward Inland annually from 1941 to 1951. together with the percentage

I. B. I. Leads In Advanced Begiltry

"The following statement under- lines our important position in Advanced Registry for the twelve months ending March (list. 1951.

'tTheaa figures make it very ev- ident that our breeding stock has reached a level of merit far in the lead of other areas. When we look at the percentage of news qualifying with scores over 85. we find further evidence of quaiity:-

P. E. I. N. B. . Que Ont. Man. - Snsk. Alta. ...

"In addition to this proof of the merit of our breeding stock, we have definite evidence that our lforkshlres lead in maturity as the following table will show:--

Age at 150 lbs.

Age at hot dressed 50 lbs. weight - 77.5 days 185 days 81.0 " 202 " n 210 n .. 215 u .. 204 .. " 197 " " 212 "

"With this high level of super- iority attained, we are faced with the great responsibility of avoid- ing any backward move which might undermine our present im- provemcnt policy.

"We still have A job to do in making further improvement of our breeding stock but we have the material to make this improve- ment without bringlng in stock of untested background and unknown breeding ability. At this stage. we cannot risk experimenting .with the unknown.

Heavy Output.

"Al the present time. there is it very heavy output of market hogs over all North America. This sit- uation, nizgravated by the util-

break of foot. and mouth disease which prompted an U. S. embargo on Canadian live stock and meats the price to a

of production. In the face of this picture, we find a very great de- crease in the number of rows bred for spring litters. I understand that this decrease is very pro- nounced in the U. S. where there is a shortage of feed.

"With the population of the U. 5. increasing at 2,500,000 a year and in.the. hope that the disease outbreak in Saskatchewan may soon be overcome, I believe we can expect a reversal in the moat situation before very long. We may not see the record peak prices of 1951 but there is no reason to believe but that after the next mid-summcr and when the U. S. embargo is lifted. the price for pork products will become stabil- ized at profitable levels. l "To the producer who over a number of years has continued a more or less steady output, the swine industry has been reason- ably kind. Taking 1951 as I whole, hogs have been quite profitable. Perhaps before 1952 is ended. we may have reason to he more optimistic than at present. The farmer who jumps in and jumps out of any phase of farm produc- tion ls usually the one who is caught short when prices are high.

''I would urge the breeders of registered breeding stock to hold fast to the policy of testing their Iowit. This is n time when we should make a special effort to improve our key herds in order that we may be in a position to supply the demand which is sure to come after conditions improve.
