EXETER LOCKER SERVICE
Weekly News Item
PROCESSING
By processing we mean; after the
farmer has killed and dressed his
beef he brings it to our plant where
it is hung in the chill room. The
farmer’s name, locker numbers and
date brought in is written on a tag
which it attached to the carcass. The
i farmer also states how it is to. be
cut ter storing. After it has .lost its
body heat and aged to his liking it
is then ready for processing.
The carcass is then taken to our
cutting room where it is boned and
cut into specified kinds of meat, such
as roasts, steaks, stews and chops.
Each piece is wrapped in special
moisture-proof paper which will not
adhere to the meat when frozen.
Each piece is tagged with the style
of cut, name of owner, locker num
bers and date. Beef is wrapped in
brown paper, pork in white for quick
identifaction. The meat it now ready
for the locker.
The farmer if, he so desires, can
do this processing himself or our
butcher will do it for him. More
about this later.

FROM HUNTER TO FARMER
Progress in Indian rural rehabili
tation in Canada is indicated in a
recent report on crops and livestock
on Indian Reserves for the period
1934 to 1937. The total area un
der field crops in 1937 is reported as
229,718 acres, compared with 222,-
291 in 1936; 213,938 acres in 1935;
and 20'9,261 acres in 1934. Hold
ings of farm livestock for 1937 are
reported as: horses 27,104, milch
cows, 7,307, other cattle 42,986,
sheep 2,090, hogs, 5,612, hens and
chickens 92,456, turkey, 6,668, geese
2,001 and ducks 4,039.
Originally the Indians subsided
in moderate comfort upqn the har
vest that nature provided, mainly
without human aid, but with the ad
vance of settlement and the deple
tion of game resources that followed
in its wake, the Indians in settled
areas were faced with the necessity
of turning to other means and me
thods to support themselves. Pro
gress is being made in the transfor
mation of the Indian from Hunter
to- farmer though necessarily slow,
as such a change in the life and ha
bits of a people can only be brought
about by patient, sympathetic and
consistent effort and instruction.
Education and the response of the
Indians to the efforts to advance
them to a position of independence
and self-support have been major
factors in the success of the work.
Indians in 'Canada are the wards
of the Department of Mines and Re
sources, which, through the Indian
Affairs Branch, has control of In
dian education health, the develop
ment of agriculture and other pur
suits among them, the administra
tion of their funds and legal trans
actions and the general supervision
of their welfare.
