P1,4DBRd1'ION NBWE By Carl I-Iemingway Those of you who have been getting rid of your old hens late- ly wi1I realize the need for a strong Poultry Producers' organ- ization. rganization. I was talking to a poul- try dealer yesterday who quoted a price of 16c over 5 lbs. He also informed me that prospects were for 15c. The buyers claim they can import hens from the 13,S. at a comparative price and this sets our market, Consumers may wonder how the U.S. producer can continue at this price but the consumer pen haps doesn't know that the U.S. feed grain is subsidized so that the feeder has an advantage of about 55.00 Per ton of feed over the Canadian producer. 1 would again like to remind the consumer that an 11e spread between Grade A largo and Oracle A medium eggs is not realistic, Remember the quality is the same. The difference is only in the actual weight per dozen The spread should be about 3c. If the reread gets to be more than this the consumer should buy medium eggs. They are cheaper per food unit. This big spread is also bad for the Producer since it pushes the retail price of the A large so high that sales drop off. If the Ontario Poultry Produc- era could finance a, small full time staff representation could be made quickly to Government to apply import controls to pre. vent such a drastic drop in the price of fowl. This same staff could also keep a steady - flow of information before the cousUmer as to the value of the different grades of eggs. These two 'things would keep (the customer happy and would well repay the produ- cer for the small fee deducted from the sale of hens and eggs. Note -There have been 413,098 more hogs marketed up to Aug- ust 233rd, this year than for the same period last year. Did the satisfactory price for hogs on the open market cause the farmers to go "hog wild"? 4-H championship' chows o the nucleus of an achievement day for the members. Forming a part of the after- noon program will be a square dance competition with $100 be- ing offered in prize money. Also on the 'entertainment side will be harness racing, open running ra- ces and pony races with $500 in prize money.
