Farmers In Tough Spot
Due to Feeds Increase
Removal of ceilings an mill feeds
and the resultant jump in prices is
notes as the' latest farm worry in the
weekly crop report of the Ontario
Department of Agriculture.
Huron County reported the price
jump had put feeders "in a tough
spot". Farmers in Lambton 'were sell-
ing pullets due to the difficulty in
obtaining oats; coarse grains were
reported scarce in Middlesex, with
prices on .mill feeds up $10 per ton.
Dairymen in Welland were worry-
ing last week about feed grain re-
qurements for dairy herd's during
the winter 'month's. Peterborough
summed the situation up in this way:
"With new prices on feed, there is
again concern about costs of pro-
duction and the amount of poultry
and livestoek that may be raised next
year." 'Giengary farmers were "ap-
ercihensive", .ahcordiag to the report
from that county.
In Leeds, farmers have started
cutting down on hog production be -
