ADDRESS BY MR. McCURDY.
On Friday night a special meeting;
of the Farmer's Club was held in the
library to hear an address by Chas.
McCurdy, chief live stock salesman.
of the Co-operative 'Company in To-
ronto, President W. V. Jefferson oc-
cupied the chair, Mr. McCurdy show-
ed his listeners how the organization
had grown in the past eight years
until now it 'has an annual turnover of
$11,000,000,which is more than one-
, third 'the total business done on the
live stock market an Toronto. There
are five men in the farmer's cattle
department, two in the sheep and
three in the 'hog, tp.1926 the cattle
dept, handled 6,641 'carloads of cattle
and every week 1,300 cheques are
mailed out from his office for
amounts ranging from the price of a
calf to ft carload of cattle, Last year
the company handled 52 'per cent. of
the 'ho'gs coining to Toronto, and of
these 33 per cent. were selects, $2.00
extra for each select'gives a big sum..
Ontario 'is.74,000 hogs and the Do-
minion 174,000 short of the, previous
'year: They want more 'hogs than
are needed in Canada to build up an
export trade. • The speaker said it
was not enough to just produce pigs
-produce good pigs; selects. Then
they would have the right stuff for
export.
A 'glut in lambs had been av'oided
by encouraging' :fanners to market
their'. lambs as' soon as ready. There
was nothing 'gained by waiting :for
special •seasons; and a steady flovl
made an even.marlcet,
Mr. McCurdy said that • stockers
purchased in the West had been too
dedr 'last Fall end little "money would
be made on them this spring as a
consequence. Americans buying
heavily in the Canadian West despite
the duty of $2.00 per cwt., had caus-
ed the igh prices,:
The speaker gave some admoni-
tions: Don't market •half greed steers;
feed less and . fe'e'd better, you 'will
pull more motley; dehore your 'cattle;
study your market and produce what
the market wants,
He said the packers' interests 'were
the same"as theirs, both made their
•profits on quality goods. There is no
place for the poor quality hog.
A hearty vote 'af thanks' was tend-
ered Mr. ,McCurdy for his address,
after which Mr. Scott favored the ga-
therin
couple g with a pl of songs. An
address was also given by Mr. Wm.
