One In Ten In an address at the sixteenth annual “Farmers’ Night” of the Clinton Lions Club, he urged farmers to hold back “about one in 10” of the animals they would have marketed if it hadn’t been for the outbreak of the disease and the resulting United States embargo. He forecast reopening of the American market by next spring. Mr. Gardiner emphasized the need for orderly sale of heavy cattle which Canadian farmers normally produced for sale in the U.S. And he promised con­ tinued government attempts to find a market for some of the Canadian pork surplus. Control With the advent of spring and warm weather, the government is “hopeful we may be able to keep the disease under control now”, he said. There was no record anywhere of -foot-and- mouth having been conquered in less than 6 0 days. Until a new outbreak was reported last ^Sat­ urday near Ormiston, Sask.—100 miles from the original trouble spot near Regina—Canada had gone six weeks without new dis­ ease. With the American market .gone and no hope of cattle and beef export to Europe, Canada had 10 to 20 per cent more this year than in 19 51. There must therefore be greater domestic consumption, less domestic mar­ keting—or both, as the govern­ ment hoped would be the case. Cooperation “To decrease marketings, we must have the full cooperation of all fanners in all parts of the country, who produce livestock. We can still get the best market price right here in Canada, if the marketing is orderly.” Mr. Gardiner suggested it wouldn’t be a bad idea for farm­ ers to “let cattle sit for a while” and let buyers come after them. In any event, it shouldn’t be hard to keep 10 per cent back on grass, he said. He appreciated the fact that buyers were saying they didn’t want the heavy cattle which usually went to the U.S. Heavy Animals s But the government was talk­ ing with packers almost daily', arguing that a special situation- exists and that the first animals to be marketed should be the heavy ones. The farmer should use the same argument, coupling it with the statement that it isn’t fair to have to take lower “cow prices” for these animals. “I think that in a very short time we’ll have the cooperations of all packers in getting rid of heavy stock,” he said, “and then we can sell the other ani­ mals gradually later on.” Hog Problem The hog problem was much more difficult, however. The only market of any sort was small U.S. demand for canned pork. Canadian farmers, chiefly in Ontario and Quebec, now were delivering 30 per cent more finished hogs than a year ago— and storage space was limited. And canning was being stopped because Its cost was prohibitive. The decision was to freeze Wilt­ shire sides for future sale. “Unless we can find some out­ let for the hogs coming on the market, we’re going to expect more and more difficulty,” said Mr. Gardiner. “I’m sorry we can’t say to keep hogs on the farm. That’s not economical.” Negotiations toward finding a hog and pork market involved “so many different people in so many different places” that he chose not even to hint at what the anticipated solution might be. “However, we are trying to solve this problem—anywhere in the world, if we can,” he said. He expected the price in any such arrangement would be a “fair” one. Mr. Gardiner said that foot- and-mouth disease, because it is not a “killer” and because in­ fected animals may not always be decognized as such, is diffi­ cult to combat. Slaughtering was the only answer. In the latest Saskatchewan outbreak, the infected herd and a herd which could not have had contact with the disease, had been killed and buried. “As far as we know, there is no foot-and-mouth above the ground now.” Spread Mr. Gardiner said the new outbreak is believed to havb started this way: A farmer bought a quarter of beef in Regina. He took it home, hung it in his barn, took the m©at off the bone and discarded the bone in his yard. His cattle, as cattle often do, chewed on the bone and became infected in that way. “What happened bears out the contention that this disease enters every part of the animal —even to the marrow of . the bone. It is a warning that it is best not to have any parts left around if it is possible those parts had contact with foot-and- mouth. The guarantee against transfer of the disease is to burn and bury such parts.” Mr. Gardiner was introduced by William J. Dale, reeve of Hullett Township. Guests Other head-table guests were Elston Cardiff, M.P. for Huron North; "A. Y. McLean, M.P. for Huron Perth; John W. Hanna, M.L.A. for Huron; Group Capt. E. A. D.

DON’T blame your electri­ cal equipment. The chances are that your wiring is too skimpy for the demands made upon it. Insufficient wiring can reduce iron ef­ ficiency by as much as 31.5%, lighting brilliance by 34%. DO check with Exeter Ra­ dio and Electric to see if your wiring is adequate for modern needs. Experts say you should have at least two circuits for plug-in ap­ pliances used in the laun­ dry, kitchen and dining room.
