HURON FEDERATION NEWS
By CARL HEMINGWAY
There are some interesting
statements in the last letter on
Livestock Products published
by the Meat Packers Council.
In discussing the grain mar-
kets and livestock, the editor of
the letter seems concerned over
the sales, of grain to the export
trade in face of reduced crop
prospects in Western Canada.
He indicates that the export of
burdensome surpluses is desir-
able. "On the other hand, the
desirability of converting as
much grain as possible into live-
stock, for which there are po-
tential, profitable markets, is
self-evident."
I can agree with the first part
of the statement on the desir-
ability of converting our grain
into livestock, but only if it
provides the producer with a
profitable income.
The hungry millions certainly
prove that there is a potential
market, but there is a big ques-
tion on the "profitable" part of
the statement.
It is rumored that the Meat
Packers Council at present have
Oa representative in Britain at-
tempting to develop a market
for pork products. However, I

The Ontario Whole Milk Pro-
ducers League (the 30 -year-old
organization representing' and
negotiating for producers of
fluid milk) has moved into high
gear after being. accused by
some --including this column, of
dragging its heels on sugges-
tions to develop an over-all milk
marketing plan for tiie province.
President Bill Peters announc-
ed last Friday they were mov-
ing ahead as quickly as possible
with plans to seek status as a
marketing board and to develop
a plan for marketing fluid milk.
This was one of the prime re-
commendations of the study
group of three economists made
public last winter and one of
the first of twelve basic prin-
ciples laid down by the co-ord-
inating board for the establish-
ment of any over-all milk mar-
keting plan.
to Britain the price of Ontario
hogs would have to drop to $18
p e r hundredweight, dressed.
Profitable? Yes, to the proces-
sor who operates on a cost plus
basis on .volume of business.
Price has little significance. But
at present costs of the means
of producing it would certainly
not be profitable to the produc-
er.
The• writer summed up his
statement: "It is hoped that en-
thusiasm for exporting grain
will not divert attention from
building up a sound and profit-
able livestock industry."
A little over a year ago when
there were so many hogs going
to market we heard on all sides,
"It's too bad hog prices are so
low, but the farmers can only
blame themselves. If only they
would control production; like
the rest of us, they could have
a good price" (and the privilege
of ' being unemployed).
Now when the weatherman,
not the farmer, has taken a
hand in limiting production
there is pressure being exerted
to curtail the export sales of
grain.
The livestock industry is pro-
fitable as is indicated in the
fiancial statement of one of our;
packing companies which seems
to indicate that. 23 executives
and directors were paid an av-
erage of $16,700 last year. Farm-
ers aren't so sure.
When farmers have set up
their own processing plants we
hope there will be more con;
sistant advice as to the quantity
to be produced and the profit-
able and potential markets.

TWO'FA.CED: SALdi!
When the home economists of
the Consumer Section, Canada
Department of Agriculture, Ot-
tawa were testing summer sal-
ads recently they came across
a really* "two-faced" recipe.
They found that the ingedtents
of Tomato and Pepper Salad
could fie mixed in two ways --
each gives an entirely different
salad, and both are equally de-
licious.
Tomato and Pepper Salad
2 cu coarsely diced green
2 cupspsli d and quartered
tomatoe (3 medium
tomatoes) "
1/3 cup sliced green onion
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon salad oil
Vi to 3/a teaspoon salt
IFe teaspoon sugar
1/a teaspoon basil'
6 lettuce cups
Lightly mix green pepper,
tomato and onion in a bowl.
Combine vinegar, oil, salt, su-
gar and basil. Pur over veg
etables and toss lightly. Chill
and serve in lettuce cups. 6 serv-
ings.
Tomato and Pepper Salad Relish
2 large green peppers
3 medium tomatoes
1/3 cup sliced onion
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon salad oil
1/a to 3/a teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon basil
6 lettuce cups
Place peppers and tomatoes
under _the... broiler and toast
lightly, turning freluently until
skins are slightly blistered, 12
to 15 minutes. Dip into cold
water and remove skins. .Re-
move seeds and core from the
green peppers and dice coarsely.
Slice and quarter tomatoes.
Lightly mix pepper, tomato and
onion in a bowl. Combine vine-
gar, oil, salt, sugar and basil.
Pour over vegetables and toss
lightly. Chill and serve in' let-
tuce cups if desired. 6 servings.
The Little Fruits
Apparently the last directors'
meeting of the league passed a
resolution asking the executive
to proceed with plans to be-
come a marketing board and al-
so—this is important—to co-op-
erate to the utmost with the
cream, cheese and concentrated
producers marketing boards in
order to develop the over-all
plan. It has been suggested
that the other groups go it on
their own if the fluid producers
didn't want to join. There is
still some feeling in some of
lthe other groups that they
should but perhaps this public
indication that fluid milk ship-
pers are taking action will coun-
teract it.
The first step the league is
taking is to circulate a petition
(as required by law) to its mem-
bers requesting a plebiscite
some time in the future on a
milk marketing plan. Now don't
confuse this with a probable
subsequent petition to all milk
producers—this is just for fluid
shippers so that the league may
achieve , a similar legal status
to the other three groups as a
marketing board. If the peti-
tion receives support by 15 per
cent of the almost 12,000 fluid
milk shippers, it will be pres-
ented to the Milk Industry
Board (probably along with a
suggested marketing plan) and
then, there will be a vote of all
,producers on the proposed mar-
keting plan for the league.
That must come—according to
present recommendations and
suggestions—before any peti-
tion or vote, on an over-all plan.
All in all, it looks as though
the dairy industry is going to
replace the hog industry as the
No. 1 topic of discussion in On-
tario in 1961. Incidentally, noth-
ing controversial has come out
of hog headquarters since the
new marketing board and the
new exegutive took over last
spring. That coincided with the
retirement of Charlie McInnis
from the hog picture to devote
his energies to FAME.

Today's Tidbit: It's easy to
look down on others; to look
down on ourselves is the 'diffi-
culty.
On' the other hand, the local
craniberries and wild partridge
and bake apple berries of the
Atlantic coast are strangers to
the west. And, although cur-
rants are cultivated in many
gardens, it is in Central Cana -
4 that they reach any real
abundance. '
Blueberries—From coast .to
coast, blueberries, with a frosty
bloom en their navy bine coats,
will brighten up fruit stalls from
late July into September. These
attractive berries are usually
sold in pint boxes containing 21/2
cups, enough for an 8 -inch pie.
Buy blueberries t h a£ a r e
plump, dry, clean and fresh
looking. A dull, lifeless appear-
ance, or split, shrivelled berries,
indicate they have passed their
prime. Less perishable than
most bush fruits, blueberries
will keep in the refrigerator for
several days, Handle the ber-
ries as little as possible, but
if a few spoiled ones are noticed
it is wise to sort the box. Before
using, wash quickly and gently
in cold water.
Although good served alone
or combined with other fresh
fruit, blueberries are a delicious
addition to muffins, waffles, bis-
cuits and cake. They may also
be made into a sundae sauce,
made into jam or preserved for
later use by freezing. Blueber-
ries may be frozen without sug-
ar or syrup, or they may be
packed in dry sugor, using 13
cups of fruit to 2 cups of sugar.
Gooseberries may appear in
British Columbia markets as
early as mid-June and in other
provinces during July with the
season lasting approximately
one month.
As berries go, the gooseberry
is one of the least perishable
and may be kept in the refriger-
ator for a couple of weeks. Some
gooseberries are a yellow -green
or pale green when fully ripe,
other varieties are copper -red,
pinkish -red or a brilliant red.
Choose gooseberries that are
plump with ,unblemished,
smooth, well colored skins. They
should be washed before using.
Like other berries, gooseber-
ries are eaten fancy free or
used for pies and tarts. Due to
their tart flavor and high pectin
content they are very popular
for making jam and jelly for
serving with roast meat and
poultry.
Raspberries — Depending on
the weather, fresh raspberries
will appear in the stores of
Ontario and the Western pro-
vinces about the middle of July;
in Quebec and the Maritime pro-
vinces a week or two later. The
season lasts from 3 to 4 weeks
but is at its peak for an even
shorter time.
Raspberries are usually sold
by the pint or quart box. A pint
box holds 21 cups and serves
4 or 5.
This is a highly perishable
crop so day by day buying is
best. .Choose plump, firm ber-
ries with a good rich color. They
Rated among Canada's nat-
ural resources are it's berries
—those small, juicy and delic-
ious bush or vine fruits. Once
found growing in the wild state
only, they are now domesticated
and improved and very much
in demand by Canadian home-.
makers, as well as by process -
.ors, during the short time they
are in season.
Although nature has more or
less evenly distributed berries
over the whole face of the
country there are some that
grow better and more abundant-
ly under certain climatic condi-
tions and therefore, are not gen-
erally available or familiar to
homemakers outside their par-
ticular area. For example,
blackberries, boysenberries and
loganberries are common to the
westerners but may be unfam-
iliar to the consumer in the east.

should be clean and dry with
no signs of leaking on the bot-
tom of -the box.
Raspberries should be placed
in the refrigerator when taken
home. If it is necessary to keep
them overnight pour them into
a shallow tray, for berries left in
their boxes tend to crush each
other.
A quick dip in cold water be-
fore using, frees this fruit from
any traces of grit or dirt, Lift
out of water gently with fingers
and place on a clean towel or
piece of absorbent paper to dry.
Raspberries are used as a
breakfast fruit, served with
cream and sugar or to top a
cereal. They add a lovely fresh
flavor to whipped cream, gela-
tin and ice cream desserts and
similar to strawberries, preserve
and freeze well.
