McGEE, SECRETARY Wonders Why Beef Prices Are Not Equivalent To Those Paid For Pork (By J. Carl Hemingway) On August 16th I had the op- portunity of attending the Middle- sex Beef Producers barbecue at Poplar Hall. This is a new event in this part of the country which I can heartily recommend if you are hungry arld enjoy beef. The cuts used were prime rib 'roasts, of about 25 pounds each. These were cut from steers weigh- ing from 1200 to 1300 pounds. Believe me, the meat was delicious. While enjoying this fine food, I began wondering about costs. Today I went over the Live -tock and Meat Trade Reports for 'he past few weeks. I found that beef was returning from to 77' of the equivalent in pork to the producer. Beef, I have always understood, is a more popular- meat than pork. its nutritional value is high; :t -requires -much-.less processing than pork, so that the eproducer should get a higher percentage of the con- sumers' meat dollar. Why then is beef selling at a discount to pork? I will try to give some of the strong beef producers organiza- tion? The support of the beef producers was so feeble that it is rumored that the Livestock Com- missioner hesitates to put the re- quest for a ten cent levy into effect. Finally, could it be that the Hog Producers Marketing Agency is the reason for the very favor- able position of the Hog Producers for the past eight or ten months? One thing I would like to im- pre& upon you, while you are con- sidering the above possibilities is the fact that there i:n't an over supply of beef in Canada. We are net importers of beef. Neither is it lack of money on the part of the cctrsumer. To satisfy his fancy for steak for his outdoer barbecue or at the restaurant the consumer has raised the price of hind quar- ters to almost double that of front quarters: Car Hit Bridge, possible reascns and with your Driver's License •,elp we may arrive at the right answer. I.. Could it be that, it is due to the. Lifted F®r Year ban on pork imports from L'S while beef can and did come in to the equivalent of 55,000 head 1 in 1056?

South, of Goderich, testified that he saw Compton when he stopped to investigate a large crowd of young people gathered at the corner of the Square and Col- borne street on`Sunday, August 11, at about 11 p.m. It appeared that there had been a scuffle of some sort. He said that he found the youth staggerins arot.nd his convertible and it appeared that he had been drinking. After warning Compton not to drive his car. the constable left to answer another call. Returning to the Square later, C(iistabie South said he saw the convertible pull away, with tires squealing, and proceed off the Square at a high rate of speed'. "I was doing speeds of 65 to 70 mph in the cruiser and wasn't able to catch him," the officer told the court. The chase ended when the con- vertible skidded into the bridge. A 16 -year-old Goderich girl was riding with Compton at the time. Asked if he had consumed any liquor,.the youth said he had taken two bottles of beer, at around 6.30 that night, but that was all. Crown Attorney H. Glenn Hays asked, "Were these pints - or quarts by any chance?" He was assured they were pints. o---o----o In the most recc+rt year 'of re- cord, of the 3,410,160 Canadians who paid personal income tax, only two per cent were in the $10,000 a year and over income bracket.

In July, the Reader's Digest published re.sults of tests of' tar and nicotine content in leading American brands. The tests show- ed that most filter -tip cigarettes offered little significant advantage over plain -tips. In response to many inquirie•, from readers in Canada, the Digest has had identical tests"' carried out on 12 popular Canadian brands, six plain -tips ind six filter -tips. The tests indicated that Canadian filter tips, like the American brands, offered only a slight improvement over their . plain -tip equivalents. his spending as carefully as he Details of the tests appear below. i plrns his production; and he aims The Canadian tests turned up to build up reserves during the good years to carry him through the lean ones.

Effective Septem- ber 3, a year's subscription to the Exeter weekly newspaper will be $4.00 a year in Canada and $5.00 in the U.S.A., in- stead of the former price of $3.00 a year in Canada and $4.00 a year in U.S.A. (the present Signal -Star subscrig- tion rate). Single copies of the Exeter newspaper will sell for 10 cents each, instead of the previous seven cents each.. Many weekly newspapers, par- ticularly articularly in the Central On- tario region have already, been raised to the higher rates a year or more now. Numerous smaller weekly papers that have been $2.50 a year have been advanced to $3.00 a year in Canada. o In the first four months of 1957 Canadian labor income totalled 1 $4,824,000,000, an increase of 10 per cent over the same period of 11956,, 0- 0 0 Incomes Of Farmers Can Be Done (The Rural Scene) Every Canadian farmer knows that crops don't grow in the winter, and that he must produce enough' during the summer to carry him through the whole year. He also knows that yields vary from year to year, and that he can't count on having a stabilized income year after year from that source alone. Knowing these things, the thrifty farmer plans accordingly. He plans some interesting facts: Player's "Mild" cigarettes tested contained more tar and the same amount of nicotine as Player's "Medium." Both are non -filters. ° The six Canadian plain -tips test- ed contained slightly less tar and nicotine than the six regular -size U.S. brands. The Canadian group averaged 29.3 milligrams of tar and 2.2 milligrams of nicotine, com- pared to 32.1 and 2.4 respectively in the American brands. not be plagued with such huge ¶ Two of the brands tested, Export surpluses of 'unsaleable farm pro - and Black Cat, are produced in ducts as are choking the channels both plain- and filter -tip varieties. of trade today; and the farmers Export (Plain) contained 32.3 mil- would not be clamoring for cash advances on grain they are unable to sell. Under the pretext of preventing gambling with the farmers' wheat, the government closed the free market and compelled all farmers to market their wheat through a government Wheat Board. This board decides .what prices it will accept for the wheat it has for sale, and waits for someone to buy at those prices. It is this holding for prices that no one is willaig to pay that causes the huge surpluses we have on hand. Holding wheat for a price is gambling; and when the Wheat Board indulges in the practice it is gambling with the farmers' pro- perty and the farmers are carrying the risk, for, the more money the Board loses the less it has left to pay to the farmers. When the farmers deliver their wheat to the Board they receive only all interim payment and they have to wait till the whole year's_ crop is sold before they receive a final settlement.

The cigarettes, purchased on the open market, and by carton, were smoked in a stand- ard smoking apparatus. Progress in agriculture depends on the' enterprise and the energy of those farmers who are able and willing to stand on their own feet and manage their own affairs. To compel such m€il to keep step with those who wait for the govern- ment to solve all their problems would rob the industry of the example and the leadership of its best heads', and would doom it to stagnation. The present trend in Canadian agriculture is towards government support, government control and government direction. If the new government has the real interests of agriculture at heart it will aim at reversing that trend and freeing the farmers from dependence cn governments, and from the restrictions which such dependence imposes on their ac- tivities. It will restore the open market and the farmers' right to use it. It will discourage all attempts to compel farmers to market their products through specially selected channels. It will make farmer controlled monopolies subject to the same Taws as other monopolies: It will look into the effect that income taxes and succession duties are having on the farmers' ability to .stabilize their, own industry by building up reserves during the good years to carry them through the lean years when they will be needed. In short it will treat the farmer as a man among men, able to stand m his own feet and to command the respect of his fellow men. e Reserves of natural gas in west- ern Canada are now estimated at from 18 to 23 trillion cubic feet.
