SHORTAGE OF PIGS
IN ENGLISH BACON INDUSTRY. RUGBY, Friday. OAving to the failure of farmers to contract for sufficient numbers of bacon pigs required by curers next year difficulty has arisen in the operation of one of the principal agricultural marketing schemes and the Bacon Marketing Board has cancelled in exercise of its right all contracts for 1937 already entered into. A statement issued to-night by the Ministry of Agriculture says that the situation thus created aaull require consideration both as regards future organisation of Home industry and the regulation, of bacon imports. Foreign bacon allocations have already been fixed for the first six .Aveeks of 1937, and it is not proposed to make any alteration in. these arrangements. Thereafter, while the position of the, pigs and bacon marketing schemes is under examination, imports will continue to be regulated provisionally with due regard to the supply situation. It will be the object of this examination to devise machinery with a view to avoiding difficulties which have been experienced in the past and which have led to the action taken by the Bacon Marketing, Board on the present occasion.—British Wireless.
