The Packing 1 Plants of Ontario, which process and ship your livestock for export, ARE SERIOUSLY SHORT OF MEN. Every available Farmer of Ontario is urged to offer his services for employment in one of the Packing Plants in this province as soon as the essential work of the farm is completed. OVER 1,000 men are required to start in the month of September alone. Good hourly wages will be paid. Trcnsportation to the plant will be provided. Assistance will be cj iven in arranging board .and room. With full staffs, the Packing Plants of Canada have ample capacity to handle even the tremendously increased numbers of cattle, sheep and swine, which Canadian farmers have ready for market this year. When operating to capacity the Packing Plants can keep the market cleared and livestock can be slaughtered, processed and shipped at its most profitable time, when it is at its market peak. Thus, losses which occur when animals are- held beyond the peak—through additional feeding costs, through falling away from peak condition and through the danger to price structures when supply threatens to exceed demand — are avoided. Last year several hundred Ontario farmers volunteered for work -in the plants in processing their own products and protecting their own interests. Production for export this year has increased by 40%. Available man -power has shrunk by 28%. The Ontario Farm Service Force, in conjunction with Employment and Selective Service has undertaken the task of raising sufficient help from Ontario Farmers to keep Packing Plants operating to capacity this year. This department of the Ontario government's Department of Agriculture feels that this extension of its service is as vitally important to the interests of the farmers of this Prov- ince as anything it has yet undertaken. The need of meat as a primary essential food to our Allied Armies; to the people of Great Britain and to the starving millions in countries, being liberated by our victorious argues, is the basic. consideration. In addition, efficient operation in the processing and 'marketing of livestock is necessary in protecting the greatest export market 'ever opened to Canadian farmers. Your services are needed frotn now until spring. it lrou cannot devote that full period of time, a month or more will be of great' assistance. cram YOUR SERVICES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Il you cannot go 10 wink at once, cal or write. stating that you will come, and at what date you will be available. Remember you will be serving your own bast interests as well splaying a vital patriotic part in serving your country. o For foil information or offering your services, ripply in person, phone or write to your nearest office of EMPLOYMENT AND SELECTIVE SERVICE. or write to THE ONTARIO FARM SERVICE FORCE PARLIAMENT.,BUILOtNGS, TORONTO Published' under Authority of WP -450 DOMINION PilC..
