Gratification was expressed at the successful outcome of a recommender ,tion made by the Commission to the Canadian' Wheat Board asking that restrictions against the payment of higher. than feed prices for oats and barley suitable for being cleaned in- to commercial seed be removed so far, as Ontario is concerned. Notice was received from the Wheat Board as fol- lows: "Due to the emergency crop condi- tions in Eastern Ontario, ,the Cana- dian Wheat Board has agreed to waive the procedure outlined in sec- tion 2 of our Maximum Price An- nauncement No. 4—June 16, 1943, in- sofar as Eastern Canada grown oats or barley are concerned. "Without application to or permis- sion from this Board buyers of East- ern grown oats or barley in Eastern Canada may now pay . a .premium above the maximum prices of com- mercial grain but the purchase price -must not exceed the maximum prices of the commercial seed grades when these grains are purchased for the purpose of processing to ,seed stand- ards. Such purchases must be con- fined to oats or barley suitable for processing to meet the commercial seed standards." This means •that buyers can new pay farmers more than the feed grain ceiling price of 51 cents a bushel for oats which, if cleaned and processed, would make good seed grain. This ruling is expected to release a fairly large quantity of oats nowt being held by farmers. to be fed to livestock so that it can be used to help relieve the seed grain shortage in Ontario. The Chairman• of the Commission intimated that as the drawback of Western feed grain coming to Can- ada;had been increased by 17 cents a bushel, the Commission's recommen- cta:ion that the ceiling price of On- tario %Vintner Wheat be increased by 15 cents a bushel had been forwarded to the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. This would provide a differ- ential of 32 cents a bushel between the price of Ontario Winter Wheat and the feed grain which Ontario farmers would have to buy to replace it in ender to make -it available for milling into ,pastry flour. The situation in, the hog production phase of agriculture was discussed at great length by the Commission and tliiS discussion was finalized by the adoption. of the .following recommen- dation: "That the Minister of Agriculture urge that the already established pol- icy of two-year bacon contracts be continued and.that they be reviewed annually. "That.."the most complete and auth- oritative information on the industry and the overseas market be made atailable to producers' at all tithes.

The quality of Ontario potatoes, says Mr. Goodin, shows a•.marked im- provement -over that of recent prev- ious years. Demand is good and ceil- ing prices are being obtained on prac- tically all markets for graded table stock. Growers who specialized in their potato crops during the past growing season have obtained favorable re- turns and large quantities of valuable food nutients were produced which will assist greatly in overcoming shortages fn other food products. Poultry Health -Greatest Asset Cost of production, health of stock and good management go hand in band in the poultry industry. Not- withstanding all that has been said about improved marketing, more mon- ey can be saved by improved meth- od„;and , better planning inside tlfe farm gate than beyond. The chief costs are feed, labor, stock replace- ment (mortality), equipment, and ,costs of taxes, interest and deprecia- tion. Of these costs, the two most readily controlled are feed and stock replacement. The •cost of feed may vary as much as 20 per cent. accord- ing to the metrods used. The cost of stock replacement has a direct rela- tion to mortality. A high degree of health is an important factorin the poultry industry.

S. Archibald, Di r e c to r, Dominion Experimental Farms- Service, in a recent address to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Agriculture. previous 'to 1939 was not in a prosperous condition. It was the first to take the disastrous slump in prices during the deflression, and most agricultural crops, unlike many industrial products, had not recover- ed pre -depression prides at th out- l'reak'of the present war. The farm- ers were thus at a distinct disadvant- age in their buying power over a long period of years. True, this reacted very unfavorably on industry in Can- ada because the 750,000 Canadian farmers still constitute the belt mar- ket for indua•trial products but what was even mere disastrous, however, wag that the farmer was left in an exceedingly'nnfavorabl+e position.

Faust received a letter from their son, Carl Faust, who is in the R.O.A.F., stationed at St. Hubert, Quebec. • . He and his- wife were in Montreal taking in a show. They showed a news reel in which one of the ,boats landed in England. To' Carl's surprise he saw amongst the men in uniform Walking down the plank walk, one of his Mitchell pals, Herbie Homuth. They stayed for the and more intensely -.so during the de- pression, Canadian farmers have been slipping, debts have increased, and ev- en with debt 'adjustments which were desirable to farmers and others alike, the farmer has no license to be plac- ed in the unenviable position of be- ing unable to carry on hist business without being in the red. An evi- dence that the farm business 'was slipping financially was seen- in the fact that his buildings lack paint, lack improvements and need modernizing. The farmer and his wife do not choose to be in the position where only eight per cent. orf. the 'farm dwelling have sanitary facilities,seven per cent. with bathing facilities, less than 20 per cent. with electric lights, and only 12 per cent., have furnaces of any de- scription for heating purposes. What has been even more disas- trous is the fact that the farmers' greatest bank account—the soil—was being steadily drawn upon to the de- triment of production. The gradual depletion of Canadian soils due to in- ability of the farmer to pay for pro- per fertilization, insecure live stock Markets and population to maintain soil fertility, coupled with erosion have taken a heavy toll of the great fertile soil wealth of Canada. The farmers' war effort, namely an all-out production program with even more limited fertilizers than in times of peace, has to the farmers' own knowl- edge, still further drawn on Canada's soil resources. These are a few. of 'the facts which must -be faced in Can- ada's future food production program. * & The In•spe'e'tion and Sale Act of Can- ada requires that every ball of binder twine for sale be labelled with the name of the dealer and the number of feet per pound.

The average yields of oats' and barley at the Dominion Experi- mental Station, Kapuskasing,' Ont., have been 31.3 btic•hels and 25.4 buellt- els per acre re.spectivery. At first glance it would appear that oats are the more• productive, but a brier ex- amination of the yields reveals an entirely different picture. When the Production is measured in pounds per acre the comparison is 1,064 pounds of oats and 1,219 pounds of barley. This is an increase of 14 per cent. in favor of ;barley. But what of the comparative feed- ing Value of these cereals? The di- gestible nutrients of barley are giv- en as 78.7 -pounds per 100 and of oats 71.5 pounds per 100. The production of digestible nutiti- ents at ,Kapuskasinghas been 959 pounds with barley and '761' pounds with oats; an increase in production of 26 per cent. in. favor of barley. It is clear from these figures `that barley is the more productive crop, and that feed production could be in- creased materially without enlarging the area under cereals, if barley re- placed oats on a considerable,part•of the acreage. It should be borne in mind, how- ever, that barley is more exacting of conditions than oats, particularly as regards tilth and fertility of the soils and • drainage. Satisfaotor( results may be expected therefore only where the soil drainage is good and the seed, bed well prepared and' fertile.
