CNR Experiments With Double Deck Car for Livestock Canadian National Railways is experimenting with a double - deck livestock car having three times the capacity of most of those now in use. As far as is known this is the largest car on the continent for the movement of beef cat- tle. If the prototype car pro- ves acceptable to Alberta live- stock shippers and stockyard operators this particular car series will be increased. It has already been demon- strated to livestock shippers and carried its first load from Edmonton's Western Stockyards to Vancouver. The mammoth carrier will take a total of 80 slaughter cattle or 250 butcher hogs on its two decks which have a length of 55' and headroom of 5' 10" on the lower deck and 6' 7" on the upper. Internally, the car has trans- verse gates which serve to sep- arate the class and type of an- imal in the shipment.

BELL Built, managed and owned by Canadians Shareholders Subscribe Further $80,000 to FAME In his address to the an- nual meeting of Farmers' Al- lied Meat Enterprises Co-op- erative Limited, President Charles McInnis of Iroquois, stated that farmers have talked about processing their livestock for many years, Talk has be- come action. "You are now processing a portion of live- stock of Ontario Producers, You will go on from here. This will benefit not only the share- holders but will benefit all Ont- ario ntario livestock producers." "Other segments of our economy are reaching all time highs in income but livestock producers of Ontario received 15 million dollars less in the first six months of 1964 as compared to the same period in 1963. It is estimated that the decrease for 1964 will be over 30 million dollars. This trend is apparent in milk, veg- etables, fruits, tobacco and grain. "Other industries produce and market their products and prosper. Farmers in the past have simply produced and have received the lowest income in our society." Mr. McInnis reported that Fame purchased all the shares of the F. W. Fearman Com- pany for $2,500,000.00. How- ever, Fame also accepted the responsibility of payment of a one million dollar mortgage already on the Fearman prop- erty, therefore the real cost was $3,500,000.00. Fame shareholders have in- vested $1,363,000.00 cash. The $100.00 share now represents assets of $117.00. Ina Co-op- erative shares do not have cap- ital gain. This excess value of shares over face value becomes a credit to member shareholders on the basis of business done and will have to be dealt with on this basis at a future date.
