to Arrange Berle: or Tours

nqinnlng July let I series of tours of all Island Junior Farin- m' Group: will commence. These zoure are under the supervision .g the Department of Agriculture and were arranged chiefly by Morris Deacon. assisted by other Fisldenen of the Department. .

The tours are designed to give the Island's future farmers I look at some of the Idand's best live- utock farms. as well as giving

a chance to see for them- "Ives the results of good breed- tug program in practically all breeds of cattle and other farm inimais. It is hoped as many as possible of the Junior Farmers will avail themselves of l.hl5.eX- gellent opportunity to become ac- quainted with some of the fore- most livestock men of the Island and the work they are doing in their various breeds.

Visits will also made to sever- al manufacturing and business es- tablishments and other places of interest over the Island. Of course an all of these tours if the travel- ling Junior Farmers saw nothing more than the beautiful scenery at this time of year the trips would still be worth while. ,,

The tour on July lst is compris- pd of groups from Elmira, St Margarets. St. Peters and Mt. Hope-Farmington. It will wind up with a picnic at Dalvay, following I survey of the forestry projects carried on there by Mr. Atkin- son. Park Superintendent.

The second tour on July 3rd will consist of the Milton. Corn- wall, Trotaclie and Morell groups who will visit farms in the Char- lottetown area chiefly, and have I noon picnic at Cavendish follow- ed by I talk on forestry by N. W. Black and an examination of I woodlot of a former Illustration Station.

THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW

euerwou z

Following are excerpts from the paper read by Mr. H. W. Clay. senior livestock fieldmsn for the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture in this Province. before the Agricultural Institute of Canada convention here this week. I-Ils subject was Prince Edward Island Yorkshires:

"My story goes back to 1921 when Mr. A. W. Peterson came to this Province as officer in charge of live stock promotion. At that time, like all other parts of Can- ada, we had a great variety of breeds although Yorkshire pre- dominated. Our market hogs fol- lowed no pattern of type. When the live swine grading policy was initiated in 1921, it soon became apparent that there was one breed. the Yorkshire, superior to all oth-

era.

"The prdblem was to popularize and to improve this breed. We had experienced Yorkshire breeders. experienced Yorkshire judges, and experienced Yorkshire showmen who professed to know what con- stituted a good hog on the boot. but their knowledge of carcasses was confined to the odd pig slaughtered for home consumption. Even today this one-sided knoiv- ledge of swine production may be responsible in a large measure for the lack of improvement in Can- adian market hogs.

Improvement Slow

”With this limited knowledge of the relationship of the live hog and the carcass, improvement was slow. We had no yardstick to measure the live hog. After swine grading became a reality in 1922, the swine grader: at the plants were given an opportunity never before available to co-relate car- c-as requirements and type on the hoof. With the application of this information, the door was open for more rapid progress.

"In the twenties, boars were brought from Central Canada and gave us excellent results when used on our home bred Yorkshir- es. This policy of bringing in new blood continued un-til the middle thirties. Year after year our per- centage of top grade hogs contin- ued to improve. This improvement was general across Canada.

"In 1927, the P. E. Island Swine Breedcrs' Association settled the question of breeds. In annual ses- sion, the Association passed a reso- lution requesting that all shows in the Province restrict their prize list to the Yorkshire breed. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick fol- lowed this lead with the result that the Yorkshire was the only breed exhibited at Maritime shows. This was the first step which gave the Maritimes the lead in swine improvement.

”In the twenties, all boars were privately owned, often by men whose chief concern was the..ser- vice fees they collected. Under this system when boars were selected the purchase price received more attention than the merit of the animal. This was a weak link in the chain of improvement and it called for a remedy.

Shipping Clubs Organised

"In i923, to solve this boar prob- lem. the swine producers in the Province were organized into local live stock shipping clubs with swine improvement the chief ob- jective of each local association. Each club purchased and publicly owned the boars in its area with a one per cent deduction from all the hogs marketed co-opetatively. Quality now became the main fac- tor and not the price when boars were selected. 'In this way, the second link for swine improvement was forged.

"Junior swine clubs, organized after l922, were also a factor in building the swine program. When older breeders failed to follow the generally accepted plan. we were able to develop young men as key breeders of registered breeding stock. when the long established breeders saw these young men tak- ing the lead in the show ring and in making sales of stock, they re- considered their previous indepen- dent action and fell into line.

"Here I should state that this organized and supervised swine improvement evolved from the perfect co-operation of the Provin- cial Department of Agriculture,tlie P. E. Island Swine Breeders Asso- ciation, and the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, each contrib-

thought of who did the job or who received the credit. Without this tens:-work we could not have at- tained our present siege of swine improvement.

"After live hog grading became general, there was slcady improve. merit across Canada for a few years. Then progress halted. We werehbasinug all our activities on the "V0 hog. Up to a point this gave us better market hogs but later it became evident that by selecting all our breeding stock on appearance on the hoof, we were

progressing up blind alleys. There was something about an animal that could not be detected by vis- ual lnspeotion. This unknown something was the ability of the boar or saw to produce offspring of the desired type.

Show Ring Winnings

"In earlier yeers. show ring win- nings was the foundation upon which the swine breeder built his reputation and advertised his stock. Quite often the Grand Champion boar or sow proved miserable failures as progenitors of better stock. After ten or more years of live hog grading and when improvement had reached a dead end. it became apparent that some measuring stick more ellec'.- ive than show winnings and visual inspection was required. It. was found that many market hogs which represented the accepted type on the hoof failed to make good carcasses. To correct this sit- uation rail grading was initiated.

”P. E. Island. farmers accepted rail gradin-g one hundred per cent from the beginning. This policy was never optional with live grud- ing here.

Advanced Registry

"The Advanced Registry policy was initiated as an attempt to place the breeding of selected stock on something more funda- mental than appearance on the hoof. It was a pla-n to rate each animal according to its ability to produce desirable progeny. A: the inception of this policy our key breeders were very lukc warm They had great confidence in their ability to select their breeding stock on the former basis. The

few breeders who did participate

found that the Grand Champion! sow had failed to quality when. tested. They were reluctant to consider this sow an undesirable unit of their herd.

”The turning point came when, at a swine field day. we asked about sixty breeders to place a class of five live market hogs. The same afternoon we had the same hogs on the rail for inspection. Only one man had a perfect score. He was I young ex-swine club boy in his teens. Some of the older professional showmen reversed the class while others could have made ii better placing if they had pick- ed the numbers out of a hat. This performance staggered the breed- ers and convinced many of them that perhaps the old standard 0:

selection needed revision. Greatest Improvement

”The greatest improvement in island market hogs has taken place during the past five years. About 1945 our breeders adopted the policy of testing every saw in Advanced Registry. This plan is somewhat similar to that followed by our dairy brccd associations in. their complete hcrd testing in R.' 0. P. This complete herd testing of our Island Yorkshires soon ex- posed the sows and boars which were more ornamental than use- ful. It became very evident that the appearance of an animal on) the hoof often was a mask to can-, ccal undesirable inherited charac- teristics. Even animals with that most approved pedigrees, in some, cases, proved failures when cx-i pcctcd to improve the type of our? market hogs. ' i
