'161. 4!I" — THE BRUSSELS POST, SEPTEMBER 20, 1978 To the editor: Steak $6 a pound.. predicted Eating steak could be a costlrprocess in 1979 if the prediction of Art Dilworth comes true. Mr. Dilworth recently said that the best cuts of steak may cost $6 a pound or more in 12 to 18 months. Mr. Dilworth, manager of the livestock division of Manitoba Pool Elevators in Winnipeg said that if cows and heifers increasingly are kept on the farms instead of being sent for slaughter, there will be "a fairly acute shortage of beef." Three supermarket chains -- Miracle Food Marts, Dominion Stores Ltd. and Ioblaws Ltd., recently reduced their beef prices stating that they were passing along savings to consumers as a result of a drop in wholesale beef prices. Charles Gracey, manager of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association said the food chains are setting short-term price policies, while Dilworth is .speculating about long-term trends. Dilworth's prediction seems un- realistically high, Gracey said. Gracey said he would be surprised to see an average 10 per cent increase in beef prices in the next year. He said the market is nearing the end of a three-year surplus in beef production -- a time when cattlemen have refrained from increasing the size of their herds. As demand continues 'or increases and as supply mops, the price of beef will rise, Gracey said. Blueberries booming in N.S. Blueberries have become a booming business for Nova Scotia growers recently and its all because of export sales. This year growers were 'expecting to regain markets in Europe which were disrupted last year because most of the province's crop went to the United States because of a crop failure there. Earlier this year, three major blueberry processing companies visited six European countries seeking to restore the balance of exports between Eurbpan and. U.S. markets. In 1975, two years after marketing missions to Europe began, five million pounds valued at $2.5 million were sold to European producers. Last year European markets returned only $960,000 out• of a total record farm value of $5 million. Export sales are responsible for the growth of Nova Scotia's blueberry industry since the late1950's when it was regarded as a supplement to the Maine Crop. Producers say European buyers were attracted to the Nova Scotia berries because of their higher sugar content„ 12 per cent as compared with nine per cent for European berries. E.
