US (From Ontario Farm Business, HOGS Spring 1950, published by the' Prospects are not good Department -of Agricultural Econ. omics, OAC.) BEEF CATTLE Canadian prices will continue to depend on the U.S. market throughout most of 1959. Number of cattle in U.S. is up 4 per cent over last year and is almost a record; number on feed is up 11 per cent, and the largest on record. Prices of good 'slaughter- steers are likely to be fairly strong and especially so this summer, with a seasonal pattern .this fall. There is an increasing danger of price breaks in 1960-61, but these should not be nearly so serious in Canada as in the United States. The price spread among dif- ferent grades of cattle is narrow- est in the summer; widest in the fall. This has become more evident in recent ,years,.

Farrowings December -May are expected to be up 23 per cent according to the December 1 surveY, While some increase is likely, it probably will not be nearly this large. We have depended on exports to the U.S. as a market for 7 - 9 per cent of our pork; this mar- ket will be reduced with iresent large increase in U.S. hog pro- duction of 17 per cent in the fall crop and 13 per cent (expect- ed) in the spring crop. Prices are likely to remain at support level during 1959, even though supports drop to the lowest possible level permiss- able, $23,65, Oct. 1. The less favourable relationship of hog and feed prices should soon re- duce breedings, DAIRY Nothing new in the dairy pic- ture except more favourable prospects for cheese. Lower cheese stocks (due to large ex- ports) and a strong U.K. mar- ket are encouraging. Butter and skim milk powder are still in surplus and depend on supports. Concentrated milk is still in last year's doldrums. FEED While we are cutting into our feed grain stocks, they are still adequate for our expanded hog and broiler feeding programs. SEED Cereal seed 1: .s never had bet- ter quality offered at so low a price. No shortage foreseen. Forage seeds are in fairly good supply, but some price in- crease may occur.

The court was told that the five drove from London, March 22, in a car driven by Masnica, and passed the empty house, re- turning later from Exeter to fire it.

The 1956 census tells us that there were 3,363 poultry produ- cers in the county at that time. The total attendance at the three meetings was 32. Rather small we think. It was suggested that these meetings were not properlyad- vertised. Fair-sized advertise- ments appeared in 11 weekly pa- pers plus some announcements over radio. Along with this 1500 hand-out notices were distributed to about a dozen egg -grading stations to be given out to their patrons. True we might have tried the Ed. Sullivan show but finances wouldn't permit. Those attending the Wingham meeting seemed to think that there was real danger of egg pro- duction following the same un- fortunate path of the broiler pro- duction some thing in the waY of producer marketing must be developed to guarantee a mar- ket even though a profitable price might not be possible at all times. Average number of layers per producer attending was 1,225. At the Exeter meeting there was no fear of the egg produc- tion following vertical integra- tion and even at. that the broiler growers were doing reasonably - well. Aresolution at this meeting was approved: resolved that an organization of Huron Poultry Producers, financed by volun- tary membership d u e s, be formed for the purpose of assist- ing the industry wherever pos- sible. From the discussion, 1 got the impression that sale of eggs could be promoted but no action would be taken in actual market- ing. Number of layers per pro- ducer attending was $3,260. r1111111.11.11111.111111111111111111111111.11111%.1411111111111111.11111111111111(.11111111111t111111111 lllll 11111111.111101111111111t1 Barley and .s .--...-- ,,... - _ 1. . ,...4- )---- .11 •-',S;.„. • ---f--„,-)/ ..}, -,...m..,..„ Oat •LOCAL 10.40144AAKS.
