Ontario Will Have To Import
Large Quanta" Of Feed Grain
TORONTO, Aug. 24 - Alex A'1clein-
ney. Jr., of Brampton, president of
the Ontario Federation of Agricul-
time, in an Interview yesterday said
that "because of a reduced yield of
field grains on Ontario farms this
Year, 11 will be neoessery to import
two and a half times as .ranch grain
from western Canada as was brolfglrt
east last year."
Feed ;rain requirements, above
what le home grown, are e-juivalent
to 2,000 bueheks for every five On-
tario farmers, be said. ":Milk; meat,
particularly beige, and poultry pro-
duction are dependent on feed
graius. Unless we can o0tain what
isneededsocia production will de-
,cline t'apidly . . .
"To fill Ontario's gran demands
will require 200 cars a clay from
Fort William for six mouths, Yet
tram. June 1 to mid-July there wore
only 222 cars .a week handled." Last
year, Mr. McKinney said, it was
necessary to bring abntia 33,000,000
bushels of grain from the west
Production of field grains in On-
tario Met year totalled 190,000,000
bushels but "tire prospective pro.
clu'c'tion . , this year appears to be
about 05,000,000 busbels."
