Prices for their meat, however, are not expected to fall signifi- cantly from the high level this • year. Continuing heavy demand is forecast. F. E. Payne, director of the de- partment's livestock division, .Says the number of cattle sold this year will probably be about three or four per cent higher than 1972. But "cattle feeding profits in 1973 may be less favorable than • in 1972—feed costs are expected to be somewhat higher this year," Mr. Payne said. Similarly, department econo- mist, A. M. Boswell, said profits i'for hogs "will not be as high as in 1972 because increased produc- tion will ease prices by summer and feed grain price., are expect- ed to be higher." "The higher feed grain prices could dampen the prospects for • increased hog production and could result in farmers sending • hogs to market at lighter • Commenting on the outlooks, •A. S. Johnson of the department's new food systems planning branch said Canada, which now imports more beef than it ex- ports, should seriously consider CHEDDAR FROM CH-EDDAR The cheese called cheddar takes its name from a village in Etigland which no longer makes it. AVERAGE CONSUMPTION The average Canadian who lives to be 70 years old will have Consumed 20 million tons of Water, 10,000 pounds of meat, 14 tons of milk and cream, and 9,000 pOtalds•of wheat. moving toward a more "export - oriented basis." • The beef industry accounts for a quarter of all farm revenue, meat packing is the third largest commercial industry in terms of sales and the over-all future for beef is bright, Mr. Johnson said. "It would follow that a system which can increase exports ap- preciably and thus provide a fa- vorable influence on trade bal- ance is one to be favored." Beef farmers, however, are worried that if they put Canada's high quality—and high priced— beef on a competitive export level with other countries, they may suffer short-term drops in profits. Mr. Johnson said beef produc- ers should "develop a capability to look at beef production and marketing as a total system, to identify the constraints and bot- tlenecks and attempt to remove them." Cheese part of protein diet While researching the informkt,tion for this cheeSe photo - feature 1 received ,considerable .Co-013eration from inany (people.

Glenn told me Mr. and Mrs., Donald- t.ourtney of Wingham were both former Pine River They had both served his firm as secretary-treasthret.. • * Mr. Courtney and Don Courtney Of cxNx-Tr were'not one and the same. Mr. Courtney is at present employed by' the firm of Crawford, Mill and Davies, Barristers and Solicitors in Wingham. Mrs. Courtney is employed by Crawford Motors in Wingham. Now, if that wasn't quite enough, Glenn went onto tell me not to get any Wingham Courtney's confused with Mrs. Rob- ert Courtney who is today the Pine River secretary -treas- urer. I don't think I did, and in and around the Courtneys, Crawfords and secretary -treasurers, I was given much in- formation for which I am truly grateful! A balanced diet should include some animal protein (cheese, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk) each day, say food giecialists at the Ontario Food Council, On- tario Department of Agriculture and Food. ... . Differentlimino acids are com- bined in different amounts to form the various proteins found in foods. Eight of these amino acids are necessary to maintain health. • Proteins whi contain these eight essential a Ino acids are called "comSetes nii".
