Bacon in Short Supply.
For Market in Britain
I. B Pearsall, secretary -manager
of the Canadian Meat Board, said
Canada would be 40,000,000 pounds
short in her commitment to supply
Britain with 450,006,000 pounds of
bacon this year and warned that
bacon will be in "extremely short
supply" in 1946 and possibly into
1947.
Addressing the Domi,nion-Provin-
eial Agricultural Conference ' at
Ottawa, 'Mr. Pearsall indicated the
shortage of bacon for domestic con-
sumption likely would continue all
through next year and said domestic
distribution was running about 20,000
hogs short each week.
Mr. Pearsall spoke after the con-
ference heard a report of the agri-
cultural supplies board which sug-
gested the delegates place the 1947
production- obiective for hogs at
6,148,000 against the estimated
5,900,000 produced this year.

FARM CONFERENCE
SITTING AT OTTAWA
IS "BIG BUSINESS"
rc It has the easy familiarity of a
plowing match, or a congregational
meeting in a country. church. '
But the Agricultural ' Conference,
which is currently, plotting the 1946
production program at the Chateau
Laurier, Ottawa, is definitely big
business, with its associated interests
the biggest business in Canada and!
the only business that truly repre-
sents a eros -section of the national
life
The estimated cash income forfarm
products this year is a cool 51,600,-
()wow.
1,600;000,000. The estimate is on the con-
servative side, so farm econornists
write "plus" after the figure. No one
has got around yet to figure' what
the farming business means this year
to transportation, machinery and
equipment industries, food processing
and other lines which depend in }whole
or in part on fanning.
The delegates meet on the fringe
of a great hollow square formed of
green baize tables. The tables; re-
served for tipper -crust Federal of-
ficials, Agriculture Minister Gar-
diner, Deputy Minister Barton and
department heads, Provincial Min-
isters of AgTieulture and' their top
aides, seat about 50. There is an
outer row of chairs and easily as
many more sit in on the deliberations.
They include other 'administrative
personnel and in both groups are
representatives cif lorganized agr),t
culture.
In one caustic observation, a dele-
gate described the meeting as the
"largest group of lowest -paid execu-
tives of Canada's most important in-
dustry."

Potatoes in Storage, .
,.Must Not Be Neglected
Proper attention, to potatoes hi
storege-is often neglected, resulting
in heavy losses, Soya R, E. Goodin,
potato fie;dman of, the Ontario De-
partment of Agricuiure. Unfavour
able storage conditions, he adds, pfton
cause losses in weight, flavour, qual
ity and attractiveness. These may
often be overcome by, adjusting tem.
perature and keeping the proper de -
wee of moisture in the sir, By all
means, a reliable thermometer
should be kept convenientin the,
storage room.
For best results, it is important;;
that all tubers for storage should
be free from bruises caused by
mechanical' injuryy in digging and
handling, `• also disease likely to cause
decay. For table stock, a temp-
erature of 39 to, 40 degrees is remit -
mended, and
ecomrmended,-and 36 degrees for seed`
stock. A relative humidity of 99
per cent is advisable,
