Q. Of what value was the old system?

A. Certainly these tests were of considerable value in view of ithe rising percentage of our “‘A"’ hogs on the Island from 45 per cent in 1946 to the present. ap- iproximate 57 per cent during \which time the breeders of our ‘province participated in ROP for Swine.

Q. Why the need for a change? | A. The old system did not aim idirectly to credit the full econ-

}omic value of the carcass in the

trade; e.g., a certain minimum number of square inches of eye |of lean credited full points for this factor, while approximately

one-third of pigs tested have a loin area greater-than this 'minimum, The new system giv- | es.credit to the full range here. | |Correction figures are used to laccount for sex differences.

Q. Are there any new meas- *furements?

A. Two new measurements | have been introduced, ham qual- qty and the weight of the ham in | \relation to the weight of the side. |The quality of the ham is deter- |
