ed 198 bulls at this year's show

ed is slightly lower than last

tion being in Aberdeen Angus

these breeds being 12 and 59
respectively. Hereford entries
total 127,which is about the

signation "performance test-
ed" which means that they
estallished satisfactory records

Mr, Hamilton said the action

the anticipated effect of eli-

Over the past year, prices to

Agriculture Minister Alvin
Hamilton states that because
of discussions which have been
taking place regarding the
price support program for the
coming dairy year May 1, 1961
to April 30, 1962, there have
been rumors that the support
program might be changed be-
fore the end of the present
year.
The minister said that be-
cause of the uncertainty in the
minds of producers and the
trade created by these rumors,
he wished to emphasize that
the present support price for,
dairy products would be con-
tinued until next April 30.
Mr. Hamilton stated that the
support program for the com-
ing
dairy year, commencing*
May 1, would be announced as
early as possible.
Under the deficiency pay-
ment method of;.,pupport, the

end of 1961 the national over-
age price to producers at which
Grade A hogs were sold. If
this average price is less than
the support price of $22.65 per

cy payment equal to the dif-
ference will be made to each
