Contracts For 100 Million Pounds of Beef , lion. James G` Gardiner, Ministe of Agriculture, annotinced July 14th that negotiations have been comple ed for a contract to supply the ,Uni ed Kingdom • with a minimum qua tity of one hundred, ,million .pound of beef during the two-year brio 1944 and 1945, and in addition to thi minimum quantity all • further sur pluses of'' beef as they become avail able. The negotiation of this contrac has the' effect of assuring floor •pric es for beef on a revised scale. In. the case of• Special ("Re Brand`•') 'beef and Commercial beef o `Blue Brand" quality, the Meat Boar will purchase for export to the Unit ed Kingdom an agreed quantity a prices 25 cents below their respective ceilings. If further surplus quantities of "Red" and "Blue" brand beef ar offered to the Meat Board, the Board will purchase all. ,such additiona quantities at prices 50 cents.. below he ceiling. Other qualities of beef will be pur., hased' on the following basis: Choice of good quality cows -75c elow the 'ceiling. Commercial qual ty not qualifying for "blue" brand - 1.25 below the .ceiling. Accumulations of beef of lower ualities will be avoided by inclusion n the exports of substantial quanti- ies of- boneless manufacturing beef. The above . prices constitute • in el- ect floor prices since tire Meat Board -i11 be prepared �to buy all quantities offered to it. If present trends of marketings con- inue and if high quality cattle, come o market in an orderly manner, it.:is xpected that the minimuin" quanti- les" provided for in the 'United King- om contract will maintain the prices f "Red" and "Blue" brand beef at a oint not lower than 25 cents below he ceiling. In any case, however, no atter how heavy or irregular the arketings may be, the producers of Red" and "Blue" brand. beef will ave the complete assurance of the rotection of floor prices at not less an 50 cents below the ceiling. These new floor price arrangements ill come into effect on August •21, 944,+ and will replace the variable nd graduated floors which haye been n effect during the 1943-44 season. oder last year's arrangements, ,the oar prices ranged from $2.25 below he ceiling during the_ •late summer nd'autumn months to 2Ki cents below he ceiling in the late I spring and arly summer months. The new floor rices will remain, level 'throughout e year. nnuai Clean-up of Laying Quarters eed sees cl[ jtinig.

Big Mill Staff To Holiday Western Canada Flour Mills will, closeits plant all next week and some 150 employees will be given their an- nual 'vacation n-nual'vacation with pay. Maintenance men will remain at work and .with experts from Montreal major repairs are to be undertaken during the shut- down. The force' at ,the Big Mill is now about twenty hands short. The flour milling department has been rushing at maximum capacity, but the feed mill has been operating. only. four days a week for want of more help.—Goderich Signal -Star. , New Store Nearing Completion There , is nothing more interesting than seeing the new emerge from ap- parent ruin, if such must be the fate of any building. - So it is with eag- erness that folks of this commpnity have watched the debris cleared from the old ;Dominion Store premises and a fine, modern building erected in its place. It was Robt. Chapman, Mitchell, who bought the wreckage and it is he who' is responsible for the . new store, much_.larger than the original. one and certainly most up-to-date. The cellar was lowered and a splen- did hot water furnace • installed. But just one radiator appears, the heat being distributed from the front of the store by means of a fan, which tervais until' it can be readily remov- ed with a scraper. Then' scrape loose all remaining dirt and sweep or wash but with water pressure. After this is done use a strong lye solution, about one pound •to five gallons of water or a good, coal tar disinfectant spray- ed or sprinkled 'over the entire in- side' of the house. 'This should" be al- lowed_ to stand for a few 'hours and then washed- out with 'water. .The house can then be left .with doors and windows open to dry out. The roosts, feed hoppers and other equipment should be thoroughly scraped, scrub- bed off and disinfected before being placed back in the house. When' the house .is. dry, fresh litter' can be plac- ed on, the floor ready for the new pullets. After the pullets are. housed the colony 'houses, range shelters and feeding and watering equipment,used on range should be cleaned for use the following spring. " An annual clean-up helps not only to guard the new pallets against con- tracting disease from the- old birds but serves to keep the poultry plant reasonably neat and clean. More Live Stock Marketed in 1944 In the first six .months of 1944 the live stock marketings showed a sharp increase over the corresponding per- iod in 1943. The total number of hogs graded in inspected plants was 5,165,- 721, an increase of 60 per cent over the numbered graded in the 'first six moeths of 1943. •Cattle slaughterings in inspected plants for the 26 weeks under review were 570,975, an in- crease of 28 per cent.; calves at 351,- 174 were up eight per cent.; sheep and lambs at 318,255 recoreded an ad- vance of 27 per cent. Exports of dairy cattle to the Unit- ed States yin the period January 1, to Exports of dairy cattle to the Unit- ed' States in the period January 1, to Jine •30,°. 1944, totalled 18,769, com- pared with 22,301 in the first six months of 1943, a decline bf 16 per cent. Beet Acreage 'About 70,000 Everything points to a splendid re- covery.. in the •production of sugar beets in 1944, The ;Dominion Provin- cial'•Agricultural, Conference in De- cember, 1943, set as its 1944 objec- tive.63,400 acres and the latest re- ports received indicate that a total of about 70,000 acres have 'been plant- ed. This is just about equal to the 70,700 acres of 1941, which was'the Second largest acreage ever produced in the history • of the sugar beet • in- dustry ndustry In Canada. Last jeer the acre- age 'dropped to 52,500 acres so that the 1944 crop represents an increase over 1943 of 17,000 acres, pr 32 per cent; This is the reply of the farmers Of -Canada to the appeal of the 4oV- ernment for more sugar beets to ease the sugar situation. In spite of ;the many difficulties , with which they knew. they would be tared in prdduc• trig sugar . beets they have agaid ,_shown their eagerness to ee-operat'e in maintaining production goals :and backing up the war effort.
