,Alr. Stewart has asked the chair

Inevitably they have allowed Pre-
auction to decline, until we are
now producing less beef feeder
cattle than in previous years,andl
we are doing So at a time when
our population is growing and
per capita ConsuMption of beef has
risen to an all time high of more
than 56 OA. The appetite of Can-
adians for beet has grown parti-
callarlY since the age of the
"barbecue" has arrived.
It's interesting to note that in
1951, the last lime when beef
prices reached their current lev-
els, the farmer got as high as 45 .
cents and the consumer was pay
ing an average of 95 cents -Der•Ib.
