Consider Poultry Producers Problems;
Packaging Does Increase Product Cost
(By a. Carl Hemingway)
The latest news bulletin from
the •Cream Producers paints out
that there lass been an increase of
12 percent over last year's produc
tion.
This might seem to be leading
to 'a surplus position ,but this will
not likely .be the casae. Last year,
at this time, we were definitely
going to a shortage condition and
had the trend continued we would
have r'equi'red ,large imports of
butter.
Consumption of ,buttem'hras;lirop-
pecl three percent during the
month of June as compared with
last year. - While in as, easy to con. -
sale ourselves with the thought
that higher :prices for butter,
coupled with unemployment, is
the reason this is. hard to
believe when we read B, D,
S. figures which state Dep-
artment store sales were 4.1 per-
cent higher tun the first five months
in 1958 than in 1957. In spite
of unemployment, labour income
increased 132 million over the
first four months of 1957, also
population increased iby almost
one half million.
Ordinarily any' eof ,the features
mentioned would have been ac-
companied by some increase in
the. consumption of butter. Since
the increase has not been forth.
conning maybe it's time the butter
industry shook off the complacent
attitude and really started to sell
butter.
For some strange reason people
first .think of economizing on food.
Housewieves have demanded more
expensive packaging and partially
or wholly prepared food yet, in
spite of •this added cost, are spend-
ing the ,seine: p:erceeta:ge of their
income at the grocery store, This
can :only rearm that a smaller and
smaller percentage tage ;goes for the
food contained in the package.
Butter, for example, is an excel-
lent food but margarine does cost
less- per pound so the customer
buys margarine to save the pen-
nies.

I wonder where the pennies go?
Largely for things much Bless valu-
able than good food. If any -lady
wants a new hart or a hair -do
she all toy often saves up by put-
ting away the difference between
the price of 'butter and margarine.
This is a point that salesmen
of farm products need to realize.
The housewife sloes prefer butter
and (doesn't object to a fair prim
However when "hubby" wants

gained by using margarine instead
of butter; a soup bone instead of
steak. Later carnes the read swal-
lowing of vitamin pipits that might
have been had in a proper diem.
Scene years ago my doctor com-
pared butter quite favourably with
cod liver oil as a source of vata-
mins.
Let us not be penny-wise and
pound-foolish when supplying our
families with food.
Hold Your Wheat
For Better Prices
Reg. Myers, Chatham, chairman
of the Ontario Wheat Produoens
Marketing Board has expressed:
disappointment with the :award of
$1..45 on track for No. 2 CE.
Grade or better announced by the
Arbrritratien Board. The Board
advises farmers to hold their
wheat for better price conditions.
"The producers board as not hap-
py at such a ]ow price," he stated.
"and were asking at least $1.50
to the farmer. This was the price
for No. 2 C.E. wheat up until ten
days ago and hi some eases, part-
icularly for the export market,
we know the price was higher.
We know of ane case where $1.62
was paid on wheat in storage
at Sarnia and this wheat went
into the export market."
This year's crap wilil be fairly
lirght. There is no carryover from
Last year and the ex. -port demand
has been good. The natural re-
sult of this condition should mean
higher prices for wheat to the
'Farmer. But if two thirds of
the wheat produced in Essex and
Kent areas moves onto the mark-
et in the next few weelvz at the
award price the overall effect will
be to depress wheat prices for
producers everywhere in Ontario,
with a resultant loss in income.
The producers beard recommends
that the producers keep their
wheat on the farm until the mar-
ket strengthens."
Lands and Forests
Officials Warn
Holiday Hunters
No gun licenses are valid in
Ontario. during July and August,
the vacation months.
Every year, the Ontario Depart-
ment of Lands and Forests re-
ceives many requests for permits
to use .22 calibre rifles and even
revolvers and 01 her shooting irons
taken to summer camp.
Reason for the ban on shooting
during vacation time is the poten-
tial danger to vacationists.
The use of firearms near water
is pa:rticugarly dangerous, since
bullets ricochet or bounce off the
surface of the water and still
travel great distances with killing
force.
There is no restriction, so far
as the Department is concerned,
on the use of firearms oe a target
range.
"However," advises District Bio-
logist F. A. Walden, of the Parry
Sound District, "inn order that the
marksman should not place him-
self .in an embarrassing position,
he should dismantle or encase his
,rifle during transportation. Simply
wrapping the rifle in a paper and
tying a string around it would
serve.
"Meanwhile, those licences is-
sued in Southern Ontario may be
used only in the county noted on
thern.
"The site for a target range
should .be carefully chosen, with.
a clear approach from all sides
to assure that eople ran be readily
seen. A sand bank is a most use-
ful ibackstap or, failling this, prop-
erly ,placed timbers are satisfact-
ory.
"Do not use a rock or a mason-
ry wall for a 'backstop. Be cert-
ain - that all bullar will be stopped
and none w 11. be' deflected.'
