Apprgxlmgte- 1i’ 25 breeders in the province are interested in advanced registry. The feeding station at the Ex. perimentai Station was discussed briefly as was also the cataloging of the hogs at the annual sale and show. Parasites were referred to. the speaker expressing the hope that those who attended the killing and grading demonstration at. the local plant in the afternoon would realize how serious parasites in hogs are. I . In conclusion. Mr. Irvine said, “The swine industry, commercially and from a breeding standpoint has witnessed favourable progress dur- ing the past year and it is to be sincerely hoped that expansion within the industry will continue with hogs being made a vital part of livestock holding, particularly in districts where sows are not retain- ed at the present time." Mr. Walter Buntain gave a short report of the annual meeting of the Dominion Swine Growers’ As- scciatlon held in Toronto. He had attended the meeting as Maritime delegate. Mr. J. W. Graham spoke on rail grading. The results seem to have been fairly satisfactory. Several difficulties have been overcome al- though there are still some to be solved. The producers, the speaker thought, seem to be a little more in pocket than they were under the old system. Before it was the average price and the man with good hogs did notvget" paid whet he should for them. With rail grading there is no "monkey busi- ness" so far as feeding and other schemes were concerned, and that itself was a. great advantage, Mr. Graham thought. Speaking on types of hogs the speaker gave the advice, "do not cross white and black hogs for you will lose money if you do." . Advanced registry is necessary to weed out the poor producing and feeding strains, Answering a question Mr. Gra- ham said that the hogs from this province are equal in type to any in the Dominion. In finish, how- ever, those from Ontario are per- haps a little superior due likely to better feeding methods. Mr. A. A. McMillan in a. brief talk told the mem‘ of the association that this province was further advanced in co-operation and organization than any other part of the Do- minion. . Prince Edward Island could double or treble its hog production without sending a. pound out of the Maritime Provinces, the speaker thought. The secretary, Mr. H. W. Clay, in presenting the financial statement also spoke briefly. The association was better off by some $7,400 than it had been at the last annual meeting. Considerable discussion took place among the members, rail grading coming in for a good deal of comment. Questions were ans- wered by Mr. Clay and Mr_ Gra- B. I. S.

Moved by Alex Hamilton. Seconded by Sam Hume. Ask Investigation Resolved that this Association views with concern the fact that bacon exported to Britain under the Ottawa Conference agreement barely reaches to half our quota in 1935. We would therefore strongly recommend that the Dominion Minister of Agriculture take such steps as will increase Canadian ex- ports during 1936 and 1937, if pos- sible, up to our full quota of 280 million pounds. Further that an investigation be undertaken to as- certain why the spread between Canadian and Danish bacon, ap- proximating a cent per lb., or $2.00 a hog. exists, meaning an annual loss cf 12 million dollars It is re- commended that immediate steps be undertaken to improve market- ing conditions for Canadian bacon so that this loss may be eliminated and we would further recommend that a. committee be appointed from the new board of directors of this meeting to prepare a brief to be forwarded to the Federal De- partment of Agriculture in support of this resolution. - " Moved by W.

Feb. lit-Lady Conan Doyle, slowly sink- ing in a serious illness, is taking consolation from the "hovering spirit" of her famous husband at the bedside, their son said today. Denis, 27-year-old son of the noted spirituaiist-author and crea- tor of Sherlock Holmes, who died in I930, said: "My father is Just as much with her and us today. And we rely on him Just. as much as when he was in a. physical body here on earth. "Messages from him are received through a human instrument — s lady who did not know and never saw him, who is by no means a pro- fesnional or even all amateur spirit- uaiist as ordinarily defined. "She is attuned to spiritual tele- vision and radio telegraphy com- bined and takes down messages from my father verbatim, most of the time without imderstanding what they are about. "Tlhere are sometimes four or five messages on a sheet of paper. Not once in five and a half years have they been wrong on matters of busi- ness or private family life-—even my motor racing activities. ‘ " "His advice on perplexing ques- tions usually is received even before we ask it. For example, he warned me of a mechanical defect in my racing car which neither I nor my mechanic knew about and which iéndoubtedly would have led to my eath.“ PIOKWIUK CENTBNARY BAN- QUIET IDNDON-The Pickwick centen- ary banquet will b; held at Gros- Whor House.
