Swain, the Sniitlificld judge for the* New Zealand Crt-operalive Pig .Marketing Association. Tn liis report, mi I lie judging, lie made some very interesting comments. Comments made by the judge on the porkers wore:— “The photographs of the carcases are a hit disappointing as they have come out darkish in colour, and do not portray the act mil opinion of the carcases,-nil of which earned Hit) per emit, for marketing points, except exhibits 007 and 070, which each lost a. mark for scratches of the skin. “The markings are very close, all the scores being very good. It its significant! that in the studying the marks for length of loin that all the ca;rcases earned together 05 per cent., tho carcase placed first actually earning 85 per cent, whereas the same competitor in the bacon section scored only 35 per cent, and 25 per cent.. This rather points to tin early mafur ing type of pig, which is more sail able for l porker than bn (toner if they are taken from (he same strain, and therefore suggests that (he introduction. of fresh blood of a. later maturing and longer.loin type would help in thy haeoner class.”

Regarding tho bneoners, Mr. Swain stated “.In the desire that the carcases most desirable for (he British bacon trade fshall he placed in their order of merit, it has been considered desirable to include marks for. suitability of weight,, although it may seem drastic to pass, over a carcase, T.W.S. 975, exh hi ted by Mr. Sewell, which on account of its light weight,, 1231 h., lost lhr.ee marks, hut scored well on every oilier point' except, the streak', which was too lean, and was thereforo marked down 10 points. 1 hop.'.-, Air. Sewell will not lose heart, as lie has (lie right typo of bacon carcase, and with a thicker streak would have swept the hoard.

“The scoring -is generally very (rood except for length of Join, which «h nws Won't variation, ami is not up [<> the average. Giren'tor aflenlion. must be given to this feature, and if in doing ■so it becomes nocos>;vry to lengthen the legs a bit, this will not matter jmieli, although'' w-c prefer them short; it is possible to earn four t'mos the macks for a longer loin iliim for a •short leg. ‘•The scoring is very close, but f fee? sure that Ibe best pig has come first. All. the marks have been worked out on a percentage basis a.s this makes lor easy comparison. ho porker remarks compare A!r. Wagner’s porkers with h‘s baconers as 1501b.—750 in.in. and L‘lslb.—7-10 ill.m. for tong Hi of join, and in this respect. I would like to stale that I nni slire New Zealand can do as well Denmark, hat in my opinion it- will come only by intense specialisation. “The average length of loin of Danish haeoner carcases of 1501 h. average carcasei weight is at. least SOD millimetres, and it is interesting to note that during the last, nine years they made the following improvements: ([) Increase of length' of Joins. 25 in.m.; (2) increase of streak thickness JO per cent.; reduction of fat on loin 35 per cent.; (-]) increased maturity 10 per cent. It ■is up to \ow Zealand to do the same and take a. larger share of the British bacon market.’’
