In the last four weeks feed grain prices increased by 21 percent and soyabean. meal prices by no less than 61 percent. This can only mean lower beef arid pork production, .

Today Ag, Minister Gene Whelan announced increased prices for industrial milk, but the increase is already eaten up by increased production costs before it is in effect, With climbing food costs there is no other way for dairy prices than to be tied to production cost.

'When it come to farms, these same economic planners expect farmers to somehow finance their operation from nothing, In Canada we have a system of government hacked loans. One of these is the farm improvement loan. This would give the farmer a loan for updating his operation at a favourable interest rate and the government will guarantee the banker that he will get his money back if the farmer is unable to do so. The trouble with this scheme is the higher interest' rates the banker can get elsewhere. Why should the bank give a loan to the farmer when he can get four percent more elsewhere for his money? It's just a paper measure without any meaning in todays money market. I'm curiously awaiting what, if any, program the federal government will come up with for young farmers to get started, as promised during the election. It will be a good advice to stock Messengers hold picnic Close to 100 representatives of the news media attended the an- nual Press Day Wednesday at the Ailsa Craig operations of Alex M. Stewart and Son Limited. Visitors were taken on a tour of the Stewart farms and told of the highlights of this year's programs which include several expansions, Heading the tour were presi- dent John A. Stewart, general manager Byron Beeler, sales managers Max Poole and Marshall Dearing, director of research Prof. George Jones and breeding experts Dr. Kenneth Kasha and Dr. Ernest Reinbergs of the University of Guelph. Stewart's have continued their emphasis on the Canadian market with several new hybrids being licenced for sale this past year. Expansion of breeding and testing of corn for International markets, notably Europe were completed. Two corn hybrids are now licenced for sale in Belgium. They are "Alex 190" and "Rocket". A total of 17 corn hybrids are now on test in the People's Republic of China. The breeding program has been extended to include barley, soybeans, winter wheat and oats. Two new plant breeders have been added to the staff of the Stewart research team. Dr. Keh Ming Ho and Mrs. Ho joined the company recently. has been expanded in the United States with a, growing demand for Stewart corn. In Canada every province ex- cept Newfoundland is now plan- ting Stewart hybrids. Corn acreage in Saskatchewan and the Maritimes is limited due to climatic conditions. Ontario continues to be the most important area for seed corn sales as far as Stewarts is concerned. Hybrids ranging in maturity from 2,300 to 2,500 heat units are offered, In 1973-74, three hybrids were introduced that completely dominated the early market. Currently 20 seed corn hybrids are on sale in Ontario all tested, recommended and licenced for sale in the province. After the tour was completed president John A. Stewart was in charge of a delicious steak barbecue for all visitors. Dr, Ho will be responsible for the new program on barley using the "Double Haploid" breeding method. Stewart's is the first company in the world to put this new technique developed at the University of Guelph into com- mercial operations, In talking about the expansion of corn breeding in Europe, corn division sales manager Max Poole said a large shipment of seed was sent to Belgium in early winter for the 1974 crop, Presently the new corn hybrids are being tested in most European countries through Stewart's representative Univer- sal Plant Breeding Services, In past years, winter breeding programs have been carried out in Jamaica and Argentina. For the past two years, a winter nursery has been located in New Zealand.
