PIG INDUSTRY
DECREASE IN KILLINGS. The total killings of pigs for the whole of New Zealand last year was 100,000 short of the normal kill, while this season’s killings as from October, 1942, to date showed a further decline of about 86,000 head. The increased pig meat requirements represented 30 to 35 per cent of the present production. Giving this information to the executive of the Municipal Association, Mr M .M. MacDonald, the association’s representative on the Pig Industry Council, stated that an advisory committee had enabled the council to make decisions restricting the sale of bacon and hams to civilians, controlling sales, prohibiting the wholesale purchase oi bacon and ham other than from licensed curers, and prohibiting the sale on the local market of pork. The shortage was to be spread equally over the local market and armed forces contracts.
