URGED SYSTEM

The adoption of tte “classifica- tion’’' system for Island s wine came at the urging of Stirling Willis, Kingston.- Mr. Willis who is president of the Canadian Swine Breeders Association and the only Maritime nian to judge swine at the Royal Winter Fair, Toronto, strongly for | “Classification” tobe introduced” at last year’s ineeting.

The official advanced registry test is the only method of testing | swine now. It tests a sow on the basis of the litter she produces. Mr. Willis had two faults to find with this method. In the first place, he said if a sow scores high on_her first litter, she is en by that high score for

_ The classification is concerned with conformation of the ani- mal’s body, including feet and legs, ¢ othe®-points on the score sheet.

FORMULA CONSIDERED

R. A. Profitt, president of the Provincial Exhibition, discussed with the breeders the. possibility of adopting the Harry Hays for- mula for swine prize-money at this year’s show in August. It would increase the prize money per-class and cut down on the ‘number of classes.

It would be for the good of the hog in- dustry here, if that were done, he advised them, as he suggested a deterioriation in commercial feeder pig quality when the
