CANADIAN HAM
BARLEY FOR FINER TYPES. WINNIPEG. More barley is being fed to hogs to produce the finer types of Canadian hams and bacon which is becoming so popular on the British and other quality markets. A Government report states that the hog-barley ratio, that is the number of bushels of barley equivalent in price to 100 pounds of bacon hog. is better than for years past. “The hog-barley ratio for the month of February,” says the report, "stood at 31.1 compared with 15.1 in February 1038. and 10.2 in February 1937. The hog-barley ratio during the past eight months has been the most favourable to increasing hog production since 1931, and its efforts will be shown in increased marketing during the latter part of 1939 and through 1940.”
