Stas remelted fire peak this year, looms as it potential threat to the largest and )npet profitable market ever established for Canadian meat. Shortage of competent help has been an onerous problem to Can- adian Femme for moat of the war Years.

'• The tire],) season of 1944 has; been, beyond say doubt, the most difficult of all for the farmer; still abundant field and orchard crops have been and are being successfully harvested and, processed. tiedtrw another problem confronts the farmer—tile geowdng demand for Canoxlian meat created by invading Allied Armed Forces, and the stew- ing millions of liberated conntriee, has encouraged the enterprising and patriatie Canadian Farmer to rise more end more live stock to 4311 beth denetestic and export needs. . 4n 1645, su14eient live stook to pradieoa ens Milton 000 million peauds of -dressed and cared treats wan .railed in Canada.

Yet, this year over ons and a quarter ' billion ponds were produced in the Brat alit nwanthe The total los -hie, year eereefeal Pesci] over two billion patinae; an increase of 40% over 1943. On Canadian farms today there is live stock which should be shipped acid processed into a' billion pounds of meats by December 3ist of this year. The only obsbacte that can hinder the ful:fillmenit of that tre- mendous quota is Shortage of Men to Operate the Packing Plants, Packing Plants ote Canada have the facilities and capacity to meet these tremendously increased ra- mils-en teaute. They are the key hitt in channeling Canadian live 'stock as insp0oted heats to our vast export lnarket But they must have men to operate the plants. It is urgently essential that Pack- ing Plante shall keep both slaughter pens and farms clear of all available animals, for .sreveral reasons. In the first place, live stock is marketed when it hes reached prime condition. Every day's delay in . shipping or slaughtering means lose to the farmer, as animals "go back" from peak condition. 14 kept on the farm, delay means increased feeding costs es well. More significant still, if Live stock is Draftee('easter than it can be marketed, a surplus is bounds to occur.
