^OlOO, which with an Essex boar which cost a Hke amount repre- 

 sents the highest figure for the year. As many as 161 boars 

 cost as much as £20 or over. 



Subsidised boars and their progeny have again scored many 

 successes at shows. 



Bulls. — After the successive decreases recorded in the num- 

 ber of bulls provided during the years 1919-20 and 1920-21 it 

 is satisfactory to note that there was a very marked increase in 

 the number available during the year ended 31st March, 1922. 

 There was, as in the case of boars, a general decrease in the 

 average prices paid for the various breeds, and a general rise 

 in the number of service fees of 5s. and over. The highest price 

 pnid for a bull provided under the Scheme was .£483 for a 



Number and Average Prices of Bulls.
