This is the third block- buster dripped by Mr. Gardiner since early last fall, and all have landed squarely in the lap of the agricultural producer. Both hog and poultry produc- ersreceived a terrific jolt when egg prices dropped to as low as 25 cents per dozen for A large and pork prices sagged to around $25 per hundred for top quality. After a considerable loss had been sustained and many protest meetings were held, the Govern- ment made a half -hazard attempt to relieve the situation by plac- ing floor prices on both eggs.and pork. Since that time eggs have climbed to something resembling a reasonable price, while the hog price has been as unstable as a cork in the ocean. The price will climb to $28 per cwt. and then drop back to $26' per cwt. and climb again for a week or so, only to take another tumble. Manipulation by the buyers is the only logical reason for this unsteadiness. The cause for the present price of butter can be laid at the door of the Provincial Department of Agriculture In two provinces we have margarine banned and there is no butter problem there. If two provinces can ban the sale of margarine, what is to hinder the others from doing likewise? Before the introduction of marg- arine, we had a shortage of but- ter, and in a very little over a year we find the Government holding a surplus of around 2,000,000 pounds. How can we expect our dairy farmers to adjust themselves to such a rapid change of markets? Milk cows are not like a water tap; you cannot just shut them off and go away and leave them. The normal lacta- tion period for a good cow is around ten months, so a farmer with a herd of fresh cows in March or April, will drop several dollars per week from the price he received last year for his cream. Robert McCubbin, Deputy Min- ister of Agriculture, in a speech at Clinton, March 31, stressed the fact that our foundation stock is being depleted and that farmers should keep more cows to raise more young cattle for our export market. Most farmers rely on a ,cow to produce milk as well as aise a calf. If one part of this dual income is cut off, the other ,part porbably will suffer also. If we have to produce butter at a loss or at starvation wages then you will see the foundation stock depleted even more than in the last two years, and our supply of beef will dwindle in the next few years instead of increase as Mr. McCubbin hoped it would. The drop in farm income comes at a time when we find labour still demanding higher wages, shorter hours and social secur- ities. We have been sympathetic toward labour's fight for a bet- ter standard of living but at the present time it is beginning to reach a point where every con- cession labour gains adds to the burden on the farmer. As yet we have not had a strong enough union among farm people to enforce our demands. TULLER RICHARD C. HODGES, Mgr. „/7///.�•-rrrt unfllnti p '^' Open gain For 4• ramose After Three Ye {, rs!
