However, they started digging into the evidence with the idea of ascertaining the facts. To do this it was necessary to have the, weights of the hogs, and as a member of the buyers had not included these weights they found it necessary to obtain access to the scaling •books for the various yards. Three groups are now working. Much to the surprise of everyone they are ■ finding a lot of mistakes; such as extremely heavy hogs being included both years, ralves and sheep being counted as hogs, duplication of sales slips also turns up. Os the first 29 evidence sheets examined a-t one buying station, it is found possible from all sources to question 14 per cent of the hogs claimed. These things mentioned a>bove ean be called mistakes and they are, but some inexcusable things are being found such as altering dates to make it appear that hogs were sold later than they were; al-

Out of the same sheet a figure “I" was Inserted be fore a figure, "3“ making it appear that 13 head had been sold where really “3" had been sold. In another case a man sold a 510 ft pound ruff, inserting a figure "2" in front of the weight figure and a "1" in front of the number sold, making it ap-1 pear that 11 head weighing 2510 i pounds had been sold. The committees are busy at work on this while the evidence altered is small in the aggregate. It does tend to hold up the whole program. • Four-Legged Chicken Hatched Atchinson.
