There is an excellent opportunity for grocaps of farmers in the 'vicinity of Montreal, 'Ottawa, Toronto, Wnni- rpeg, Moose J,aw, Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Alfberrt, 'Calgary and Edmon- ton, if they couad be interested ,in lamb feeding, Mr. A. A. MacMillan of the Dominion Live Stock Branca, told the World's Grain Conference. At the abeve mentioned points a supply offeeder lambs are readily available each year. If groups •ef fanners undertook lamb feed i g, tl le freieht from stockyard or abattoir to the feed lot would be reduced The n uking up of carloads of tbilsbed lambs Would be emir end each group tif. farmers Would benefit by the ex- perience' of neighbours. Thousands of sheep raisers in both' Eastern and Western Canada: could increase re - urns from the laMbs by resorting to careful selection at weaning tien,, nuiniceting only those that are finih- ed and of desirable weight; and put- ting the Wane° into the feed lot for a shunt -term feeding ;period. - Canadian Fowls (tranaty Th re estimated that Canadies poul- try' Consumed over 85,000,000 brishos of inbred gituin in 198,1, this estiroate bating based upon an average "con- sumption of 65 ,pounds far lover Oge4 006,000 Mack. The• Vapri.0 onti4. sayethe nolinfluicm Poultry IltiSbitind,,A, Intohl, that enter tlits intieturei With, an estimate Of the numbers of bush- els (in millions) of each, are: 111Theat. 34; baley, 21; oats, 17 and other grams 13, that is, 40, 25, 20 and 15 per, cent. respectively. This 'means that at the 1932 average yield per acre in all Canada of 15.8 bushels of wheat, 21.5 bushels of barley, and 29.8 bushels of ets, it took over 4,- 000000 acres to grow the grain that was marketed through the poultry route. Of this average, ovecte,2,0iXre 000 acres were • required to produce the 'wheat •-alone, not intending land, ibeing siumemet-falilowed in prepara- tion for the wheat. Farm Size Increase The increase in the size of Can- adian farms particularly in the spring wheat -area, is attributable mainly to improvements in farm machinery and to the introduction of ,mechanical power. According to figures of the Economies Branch' Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, during the 20 - year period from 1871 to 1891, there was practically no ch,ange in the av- erage size of farms, the acreage be- ing reported as slightly in excess of 97 acres foe each census year. From 1901 to 131, the acreage expatded rapidly freurn 1241 acres to 12245 acres. Using Saskatchewan to illus- trate the change in the spring wheat area it will be found that the acre- age ,per farM increased rapidly sinee 1911 with but a slight change from 285.1 acres to 295.2 acres per farm, for thee deeale preceding that year. In 191 the average size of farm m Saslcatehewati was 408 acres. Acres of improved lend increased from 83.5 to 245.9 acres, or nearly 200 per cent. There was approximately the same increase in the nermibee of acres sown to wheat. , • , Producing Turkey Meat Experintents show that when tur- keys are fed without free range, ib takes five and a half pounds of mixed Kristin to produce one .pound of flesh, but as at least 99 per cent. of the turkeys in Canada are fed with free range, these figures cannot apply, says Mr. F. C. Mord, Dominion Poul- try Huebandinian. FigudeS obtained, in Ole three Prairie Provinces, where eeventy-five per cent. of Canada:IS: turkeyh are grown, show that 50 to 60 pounds off grain will enceinte a 1 - pound turkey. But in order to be consenvative, 64 pounds of grain may be allowed for the sixteen pounds of turkey meat, or four pounds of feed to one pound of flesh. Turkeyis ,brought to the'farmer an average of 9 cents per pound in 1932 (18 cents in 1931). At the 1932' average price a 16 -pound turkey brought $1.44, pay. ing a gross return of $2.25 per cwt. for the grain and $1.40, 91 cents, and 86 cents for wheat, barley and oats. or an increase for each of these per bushel of 31.09, 71.. cents and - 67 cents.
