"A wire from Prince Edward county Federation is typical, stating that 5,000 laying pullets were sold for meat in that county to one buyer during the last week, and that great numbers of brood sows are being sold daily for slaughter.

Grey, Bruce and Dufferin coun­ ties are demanding a provincial livestock conference to avert *a major catastrophe.’ Huron County farmers held, a protest meeting at Clinton recently. Other meetings are taking place elsewhere throughout the province. '“Despite Ontario fanners desper­ ate need for feed grains, no sub­ stantial shipments from the Bayport elevators have been made to On­ tario dealers for weeks,” said Mr. lions of bushels are in expectation of a nouncement of an oi* removal of the ceilings. This ex­ pectation arises out of the recently announced increase price for wheat under the British contract, and re­ peated government predictions of an early removal of the remaining ceil­ ings. A recent dominion government statement was that such action was being postponed temporarily only because of the packinghouse strike. "Farmers are doubly afraid of this step because they have been told that the present feed grain sub­ sidies are to be removed at the same time,” said Mr. Morrison. "Thus eastern farmers would have to absorb a price increase and the loss of subsidies of ten cents a bush­ el on oats and twenty-five cents a bushel on barley and wheat, It is predicted that the total increased cost to the farmer would be sub­ stantially more than double these amounts. These feed cost increases would come on top of increases of $10 to $13 a ton in mixed feeds ’which became effective a few weeks ago with the removal of mixed feed ceilings. "We have been told that the feed grain ceilings and subsidies will remain as long as the ceilings re­ main on meats, and this would pro­ vide some relief. But only part of our livestock production goes into the domestic market. The pork, beef, eggs and cheese which go to Britain go under contract prices which tend to determine the dom­ estic prices, and these contrast pric­ es are not sufficient to permit sub­ stantial cost increases. In fact, cost increases already hitting us have forced many farmers to reduce pro­ duction, This is tragic both for our own farm people and for the needy people of Britain and the people of Europe with whom Britain is shar­ ing some of her means. "Our farm people are making three principal demands. First, they are demanding that the government, which sells our products to Britain, and which therefore largely will be setting the price of our livestock products even aftei’ all domestic controls are ended, maintain a- fair relationship between our costs and the prices we receive for our live­ stock. Second, they want a vigor­ ous government effort to move feed grains from the west in sufficient quantities to take care of their win­ ter requirements. Third, they de­ mand that the government settle its feed grain policy and make it known for a sufficiently long period in ad­ vance to remove the fears arising out of present uncertainties and to enable producers to do a maximum production job and do it with fidence. "We met with the dominion ister of agriculture, the Rt, J. G. Gardiner, at the end of last year, to consider 11947 production goals,” said Mr. Morrison, "We ac­ cepted those ‘goals gladly, even though they meant another year of strenuous effort with inadequate help, on the understanding that our returns would be sufficient to en­ able us to get by. There have been small price increases during year, but with the increases gone increases in costs which decreased our real returns. We gone ahead and produced in with these goals to the best of oui* ability, and we feel that it is up to Mr. Gardiner and the government on whose behalf he spoke to keep their part of the bargain.” Signed: W.
