Canadians Hope To Sell Bacon to Alaska

OTTAWA - The British Food Ministry hopes Canada will be able to supply the United King dom with at least 700,000,000 pounds of ham and bacon under new bacon agreement now be- ing negotiated, it was said at the Agriculture Departlent.
 This figure is l00,000,000 lbs. above the agreement which ex- pired this month. The Canadian Bacon Board under J. G. Taggart is exerting every effort to com plete the shipment of this exist ing contract.
 There is also heavier de- mand from Newfoundland. In addition, the United Kingdom is asking that Canada supply Brit ish warships when they come in to Canadian ports, instead of hay ing those supplies provided on the other side, as in the past.
 Other demands for Canadian bacon are pouring in. It is learn ed the United States wants this country to supply Alaska with bacon, in order to avoid the use of shipping space on long hauls that would be required if Alas ka were supplied with bacon from the United States.
 ',Britan wants all the bacon we can give her." one official said. The term "bacon" in Britain is applied to both bacon and ham.
 To sep up exports to the Unit ed Kingdom by 100,000,O00 lbs. will be a further heavy strain on the Canadian hog industry, but there is this advantage: Crops used as feed to fatten hogs are reported to be good all over Canada.
 Grading figures show the tre- mendous development in the hog industry in this country. In the calendar year 1888 gradings were 3,245, ,525. In 1889 the figure was 3,706,O0 in 1940 it was 5,456,0 and in 1941 6,2l6,00O. This year it is hoped the marketing will reach 7,0OO,00O hogs.
