Again Island market hogs have act a new record for quality. Pres- ent available figures dndicate that the 1954 percentage of Grade A hogs will be over so percent. About fifteen years ago y the percentage was 3'1. This steady improvement is more amazing when we consider that, during the some period. the Canadian percentage has dropped from 31 to 28.

When we consider the value of the industry and the unprecedent- ed ' ,.rovement in quality we may wonder what the picture would be if swine production had received the same attention as potatoes, , '0 ., and dolrylng.

BREEDING IOLICY

Island hogs have been brought to this pr sent high standard by B definite nd planned breeding policy. when it became evident that we could not secure suitable breeding stock outside the -province, our breeders adopted a. program of line breeding with special at- tention to carcass quality. This sys- tem of close, breeding called for rigid 'and ruthless culling oi our

desirable characteristics. Here it should be emphasized that close breeding is never rponsibie for deformities or any other malform- ation of" body type. This system merely brings out the 'good or the had inherited characteristics in the family. The good factors can be intensified by selection. It is the only method whereby a. family can

performances we duire.

To date. our breeding program has gone far to elinsinalse ridglinge and ruptures. but more culling is required to get rid of a email per- centage oi other sex deformities. Our programme has intensified and fixed the type or our hogs to such

casvrror.

ierence-between I1 and as percent Grade A bogs means many thous- ands bi dollars annually to Island producers. we have reason to feel that 06 swine breeding policy has been i beyond all expectat- ions. Now our only safe policy is to remain self I using for breeding stock. but to be ruthless in our sei- ections oi key animals.

SALES or lnnzpsno STOCK The fact ' that Island swine breeders eve shipped many boars and sows to outside points is recognised of the merit of our breeding policy. During the past year. four boars have been shipped to the. University oi Minnesota. where they will be used to develop a breed of bacon type' hogs suitable to United States conditions. In October. a car load'ci '10 head was shipped to "aekatchewan where their uiauibution was sponsored by the Saskatchewan Department of Agriculture. , 0 Last June a lot of 40 head was shipped to Nicolet County, Quebec. where the Provincial District Agri- culturist representative has been restricting the swine breeding pop- ulation to pure Island stout. There each year in June a Show and Sale is held and the entries must be one hundred entp Island breeding. Throughout the year 38 boars and
