Discuss Long-Term Bacon Agreement

Under a new ,reement effect-

ive lll 1944. Canada undertakes to Drpvide the United Kingdom with not less than 450,000,000 pounds of bacon in each of the next two years, Because of the need of maintaining the British bacon ra- tion of four ounces a week. Agri- culture Minister Gardiner has ask- ed hog prumiccrs to seek produc- tion to pemlit annual shipment of 600000.000 pounds.

An increase in prices for hogs is

not considered likely as a method of encouraging continued hitch pro- ducfion. Ag. re authorities said. but they expressed belief as- ¢ surance of a rntrket at existing prices for more than two years would cause many formers to con- tinue in hog production who might otherwise sock some other form of activity.
