The purpose of the meeting was to acquaint produc­ ers with the proposed marketing scheme upon which they will vote on April 17, 18 and 19. Fund For Floor Present developments indicate that the Government is moving out of the floor price program as rapidly as possible. No one knows how long they will main­ tain a floor under eggs, he said, urging the industry to set up machinery to do this job for itself. Regardless of who sets up the floor, it cannot be above world market prices, he said, al­ though Canadian eggs, because of their superior quality, com­ mand a premium on many mar­ kets. Basically the proposed scheme will create a fund to sustain a higher floor price than the Government will adopt, and it will create a fund to insure egg producers against a serious price drop at a time of over- supply. Two issues will be decided at the vote on the proposal. The first will concern the establish­ ment of an egg marketing board to set up the fund by a deduc­ tion of one cent per dozen on al1. to pro­ of an control poultry _ _ surplus And the egg marketing tive until at least two other sur­ plus producing provinces have established similar programs and a national marketing board has been set up.

The schoo 1 ’s thoroughbred Yorkshire sow recently produced a litter of eight pigs which will be distributed to agriculture students in the district. The sow "Meadowbrook Lass", is a first lady among "rooters" ; if breeding is any criterion. Her < sire holds several prizes for ad- 1 vance registry and her dam was a first-prize sow at Teeswater fair. Her brothers and sisters scored high for the Dominion of Canada in the advance registry last year. "Meadowbrook .Lass” was bred by William Turnbull, of Brussels, who won the premier breeders' award last year, to the grand champion boar of Ontario. The sows in the litter will be taken home by the students for breeding purposes and the pigs sold to interested farmers.
