Wealth From Poultry In the official estimates -of the pro- duction -of poultry meat and -eggs for the year 1945, the production of poul- try meat is. placed at 307,436,00.0 pounds as compared with • 315,176,000 pounds in 1944, a decrease of 2.5 per cent. While production was lower,, domestic conspmption increased to 322,654,7.00 pounds Lin 1945• from 315,156,514 •pounda in 1944, the differ- ence being •accounted for by heavier stocks on hand' at...,.the beginning of -1945 than there were at the end of the. year. The cash income from poultry' .meat amounted to $66,187,000, while the income in "kind, from poul- try meat used on the farms was va- lued at $18,328,000 which made a gross income from this source of $84,515, 000. - The production of eggs was esti- mated at 373,952,000 dozen, an in- crease of 13 millions or 3.6 per cent over the, 1944 estimate of 360,948,000 dozen: • The cash income. received by farmers from 'eggs in, 1945 totalled $85,112,000, and eggs used in their home were 'equal, in --value., to t-$29.994,00: The' 'betii7lated`-'vahre•'•of- eggs used -for hatching purposes on farms was $3,785,000, which made a gross value' of $118,891,000,' The $3,- '785,600, it is pointed out, cannot" be considered as, income because it 'is chargeable to the' expenses ing chickens. How Much Water Does a Co* Need? Veterinary authorities state that for the ,highest production of milk the im- portance of a continuous supply of. drinking .water for •the cows: cannot - be over-estimated. Experiments in Canada, United • States, Britain and other Countries have shown that milk production -was higher 'from cat - tie .with Water available to them throughout the day than . from cattle which had access to, water, only •once or• twice, a day. It is' 'estimated that 'the average cow needs from! 10. to 15 gallons of water per day. High producing cattle, such' as those producing„ say, :ten gallons df milk per day; may consume up • to 30 gallons of w ater_,••per day. Where dry feed,- such as hray orl"chaff and concentrates, is being 'fed, the cows would take' 10 to 15 gallons of water as such. However, where the cows are on pasture and quantities' 'up to 130 pounds are . known to be eaten, water would be taken, in smal-, ler amounts. One hundred and'.thirty pounds of .pasture would probably contain about nine or ten gallons of water, If silage ;were fed, 50 pounds of that material would probably con- tain about 31/2 gallons of Water? *yet'• Valuable Tests in Swine Feeds ' • Among the many important lines o.f wotrk carried out - by the Animal Husbandry Division, Experimental Farms Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, is the distribution of breeding stock to improve the live. stock on Canadian fatmy and, at the same time, assist in advancing sci- entific research. Recently a consid- erable number of pigs was used in the testing 'of their dams in. the 'Ad- vanced Registry Policy ' for Swine, and at another time sixteen. of the Division's pigs figured in a co- operative project with the Chemistry .Division, Science Service, in deter- mining the digestibility of various swine feeds. In addition, pigs were supplied to the Animal .• Diseases Research Institute, Dominiort Depart- ment of Agriculture, for experimental purposes. • In another experiment with feeder pigs,' the results have been made known ,on' the relative value of pro- tein supplements of animal" and vege- table origin in the feeding of growing and finishing 'pigs..,,--.Protein-mineral. .supplements coatainitig 65, 50, 35 and 20 per .cent animal protein feeds _(that is, `tankage and fishmeal) were compared. The remainder of each supplement was made up by a feed of vegetable origin—linseed meal.'The initial results indicated practically no difference between lots in the Tate of gain, feed economy, or carcass qual- ity. • In the experiment, as repeated in the •following year, the results in a general way °confirmed those of the previous test. There was a slight advantage in the rate of gain, and Carcass quality' for those pigs fed the higher percentage of animal protein, while feed economy 'was best in the lots whey"e ' •50 per cent and 35 per cent of the protein supplement was from an animal source. The results of the Iwo experiments indicated •that up to 50 per cent of -a protein- rttineral supplement used in hog feed- ing could be grade• up from a vege- table source such as linseed iiilmeal, the remainderbeing tankage and fish- meal, 'without lowering the feeding rattle of the supplement or seriously brittle/1'6'16g the rate of gain or the quality of the carcass produced. .of produc- 4 Yh' sal 1»tell „Cu '' dournal; isrittett rah the Departent 'off Trade.'. and Pommerce, Shijpa tents of Pure - 'bred cattle and ethe><+ lil!estoett •' are 'heavy; 'f$Q• 1 olsteint >irrkellen heliers.

Over 48 niipsil Rhonda of Canadian meat went to LT:N.N:R.A. since .the. beginning ofthe year --all packed in 127ounce tiros; 48, . to" A'case. • A note of warning appears to be sounded in information` issued by the South African governmtent in its. first release of trade: fgprea since 1939: It shows that Canada has lost the lead- ing role which it once had as a sup- plier .for.,that country, having fallen to, seventh place in 1944.from „third ' place in 1939. "'The Ottawa Bureau of Statistics figures for the first six, months of 1946 shows a new increase of exports to that country this year, and if this new rate is maintained.,1 Canada may regain the lost ground. The "foreign trade inquiries" sec- tion shows that Burmese merchants are interested in purchasing from Canada such articles as hardware, tools, textiles, clocks and paper and id selling to Canada rice, cotton seed,. oils, metal ores, rubies and other precious stones. Sensing Danger The "Ottawa . Citizen," respected vital 'daily which, in the last elec- tion --showed..-signs_: _of.. fors aking•.-_the Social 'Credit '• party for a new alleg- iance with 'Socialism, .is now wonder- ing how far the Communistic{ Com- mando forces have made headway' within the ranks of organized labour in Canada. While giving credit' to the saner labor leaders. the "Citizen" claims that, within the union ranks there are "zealous fomenters of revolutionary discontent" who have forced labor unions into strikes "for more Sinister° put -poses than-- -to =--improve working conditions." Regarding the political ;party which it• had supported, the "Citizen" said: • "A Kereasky- element within the :C.C.F': ranks would con- t-ribute to this -end"—and. "Few C.C.F. leaders could. ' afford to say that ,the' Capitalist system must be made to work 'better ... . It is the business of Class War Incendiaries'to see that the C.0:F..' members are constantly prodded into .taking sides with the militant strikers . . irrespective of 'the merits of the case.`", The "Citizen" thinks that it should be possible, for good men and true in the several parties to get"together to achieve better results without wreck- ing the capitalistic system -a system which permits private as well .as pub- lic ownership. , L,bsing Public Support Other signs that public sympathy is being forfeited because of suspect- ed ulterior motives in certain labor leaders are becoming clear. Last week in parliament. D: Croll—lone Liberal member from Toronto and an outstanding .fighter rest; the cause of labor—speaking: on the Bill setting up a corporation to promote external trade, criticized severely both man- agement and the labor leaders: He said: "We have always relied, in this country, upon experts to give our people jobs . and profits and a reason able sort of living . . . there is no production'in an' idle factory . , 'management has not been too greatly concerned with strikes in its plants' . . Labor has failed to appreciate that the picket line at the closed plant• today may well be' the fore- runner of a- jobless tomorrow," Perhaps the most severely criti- cized by large sections of labor and the public. and the most vulnerable. Is C. H. Millard, Canadian director of the' steel workers union and a prom- inent official of the C.C.F. .political party. His attitude before the parlia- mentary committee that labors' de- mands were being made regardless of their effect on th price structure put labor in a bad light and put a weapon in the hands of Canada's Tor- ies, No one knows better than the laborer that inflation is a game at which he can only lose, and there is a'call for labor leaders who will work in the interests of labor rather than, for the promotion of a political "sys'- tem." ' The weekly press of Canada is by far the most important factor unify- ing influence in the country and is, without doubt, more carefully read and considered than other publica- tions. The "Rosetown Eagle" of Sas- katchewan is to be' cotnietended for the campaign it is now running urg- ing Canadians to think -of fellow Can- adians' of foreign birth or extraction as fellow citizens. "Many people- are sick of hearing all about 'racial.unity in 'Canada.' -We think It is hih time that Cana- dians quit talking about it and do something. We ere convinced that, unless we do, the results will not be insignificant." In another issue, of the "Eagle" made special reference to our fellow citizens of Ukranian descent.
