This announcement by Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Canadian Minister of Agriculture, was one of the most outstanding announcements to be made lately in the House of Commons. The new bacon order arises out of conferencs between British, US. and Canadian authorities. The United States is interested not only in supplyâ€" ing Britain and the Allies with munitions, armaâ€" ments and ships, but also in seeing that Britain and her Allies have an adequate supply of food. The United States, however, does not proâ€" duce that particular bacon type which British people favor. So Canada will concentrate on the bacon, while the United States sends other hog products overseas. It is stated that the further run on hogs in Canada "ties in" with the new policy of bonusing farmers for decreasing their ‘who}at crop acreage and turning it into coarse grains. The export for the year is figured at the vast volume of 8,176,000 pounds per weekâ€" which represent a lot of hogs which must be reared and fed, slaughtered and cured in order to feed both the staunch people and the "boys" overseas. Waterloo, as one of the leading Canadian "Farn hog producing counties, will be among those|sive in the areas chiefly affected.
