Fie, dman comments Present dairy surplus only pound: per person By CARL HEMINGWAY Huron FA Freidman From a report of the cream producers 1 found some interest - ng figures. Butter holdings,on May 1 were 15 million pounds more than the past five-year average. When we consider the increase in population over the past five years T think we can agree that this amount is' only a reason- able stock to carry at all times. There are 28,8 million pounds more skins milk powder than last year. But there are 9.8 million pounds .less cheese and since we get about the same amount of cheese as powder from 100 of milk this would re- duce our powdered milk to 20 million pounds. Stocks of evaporated milk are down 6.3 million pounds and this wouldreduce our powder to 15 million pounds. This is less than one pound per person so it could easily he consumed, ].n spite of the pride we take .in being well fed in Canada this extra pound of skim milk, powder wouldn't give us the recommended amount of milk. June if dairy month and the dairy producers are being asked to contribute to an advertisingi fund. • With your support to this I campaign, a good advertising program should take care of this, small extra supply of dairy pro- ducts. * * « * Hearings are being held by the agriculture marketing com- mittee to determine the position of farm marketing with a view to improving the whole situation.

Mrs. James Mossey returned hilted on Wednesday after Spend- ing the. past four weeks with, Mr, arid Mrs, Theo, Stephens of Attdersori, leets branch of the Ontario Dep't of Agriculture, 'one of the of- ficials .suggested that with floor prices guaranteed by the stabil- ization .board there was little need for a provincial marketing plan. This pian was implying. that floor and market prices are the same thing. 11 past government action is any indication of policy it would seem that the floorwprice is set at a level that the government feels is safely below any expect- ed market price. 'f the market drops to the floor for any ex- tended period the government immediately seeks ways to lower the floor as in hogs and skim milk. Also there is no guaranteed period for floor prices and there is seldom a guaranteed price to the producer. It is rather a guarantee to the processor and therefore a marketing body is necessary to see to it that the producer gets a fair share. With. eggs currently 300 to 320 to the producer •and retailing at 634 or more in Toronto and broilers quoted at 17-180 London and To- ronto and retailing at 410 in Stratford it would appear that there is an opportunity for a marketing body in both of these products. Finally, with hens selling at .W to 140, why were several car loads of fowl brought in 'from U.S, andwith the government publishing huge pork surpluses why, did I find Danish pork pro- ducts in a chain store in Strat- ford?
