Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture, announced January 26 that the Canadian Gov- ernmerit, through the Agricultural Prices Support Board, will take ac- tion to stabilize the egg market by Supporting a storage program for 1950. . Under the plan, the Agricultural Prices Support Board is committed to buy, at the termination of the storage period, late in 1950, all eggs then unsold•which had been stored according to Board specifica- tions, during the period January to early June of this year. The Board will pay, at all stor- age points in Canada, 38 cents ]ger dozen for eggs stored as Grade A Large and 36 cent:; per dozen for eggs stored' as Gr p 4 plus a etipulated aUO v toe tiR 00Yer casts It is anticipated this,, SWUM 'Will, provide ,a Apar price. to producers: at egg stations, of •ippiaaxiinatelY 30 to 32 cents per down, lia,siia, Grade .A Large, depending On chi - ping coats• frons: station to.:strprage. In Making the announcement Mr Gardiner pointed put that this action.was taken to assist the poultry industry in the ••adpistgaentll to conditions er ated by •diatcodtlno- ance of British egg buy?ng in Canada.: Under this progratp:• ttre (Oe-, ernment will net. paetiolpate direct.. ly in the egg business. 'rhe storing and merchandising of eggs, will; remain in the hands of the .indus- try. The Government offer to buy anyrt otherwise, unsaleable eeggisat the end of the storage season -Will, however, provide the same stabiliz- ing influence as operated under British contracts when the Govern- ment contracted ,to buy eggs out of storage in the fall months for delivery to Britain. Egg, prices, he said, have been seriously depressed since buying for British account clased on De- cember 17. Without some measure of support through Government action this depressed condition would continue through the surplus producing period'of the first half of the year. This could lead to an ex- treme liquidation of laying flocks, followed by a shortage of eggs and a prolonged period of high prices, In relation to population Can- ada's export trade was 50 per cent greater in physical volume in 1948 tran tran in 1938. CANADIAN PLOWMEN ABROAD by ALEX McKINNEY Jr. * Director ONTARIO PLOWMEN'S ASSOCIATION This is the second of a ser- ies of Weekly "stories which .Alex McKinney, Jr., a director of the Ontario Plowmen's As- scttiatioo, is writing about the visit of Canada's champion plowmen to the British Isles, West Germany, Denmark -and the Netherlands. England:. -•-•Here We are in they Mother Country. Since I last wrote we've put. the Atlantic Ocean be- hind us; we've seen quite a •bit of England and the two champion plowmen, Jim Eccles and Ron Mar- quis, have won prizes at the New- quay plowing match. They did themselves proud. As far as our set voyage is con- cerned wee didn't run down any whales or get tangled up in any field of iceli•r rgs, so you might call it uneventful. But. I must say we found 'life 00 the rolling deep' aboard the Queen Mary quite pleas- ant_ We can recommend it to all Our friends. Within fifteen minures after the ship docked at Southampton offic- ials of the Canadian and Ontario governments over here and a re- presentat' e of Anglo-American Oil Co. ca.mi board and ^ welcomed us to England. If was a warrn w'el- come--in feet everywhere we have gone since our ar'1'i\ai overseas we have been warmly- ,greeted. One still sees evidence of the hardships these people have suffered and the shortages and controls under which they still lite. But despite all this they are the most hospitable pea pie you would want to meet. One of the highlights of our week in England was the ':lowing match at Newquay I -mentioned earlier. There were 67 entries in plowing and 25 ethers in hedging and !hatching. Our boys used Cana- dian plows and piov:ed the two straaightest lands in the field, Jim Eccles came third in the tractot class and Ron Marquis was fifth in the horse-drawn plow class. The boys did remarkably well when you consider they were com- peting against match plows equip ped with wheel presses, floats and ust about every other conceivable device. Another thing 1 noticed was that nearly all the plowmen were older men -who had been com- peting in these matches for years. 1 only saw two boys who looked as f they Were under 20 years of age. .'hen the judge suggested the boys were using their brawn instead of their brains., I felt like saying that one result of using stock plows in Ontario matches was that the av- erage age of the plowmen at Bur- ford last year was in the twenties. Since the match we've had a good look at conditions over here. As far as the weather goes it is much as it was when we left home. i has been a very open winter with carcely any frost at all. The fields a re still green; grass is growing nd in southern England the cattle re nearly ail in the fields. We've een told by the farmers we've met hat the stock hasn't required as muoh rs Supplemeary feeding this winter as in other years. The farm fields in Great Britain re much smaller than ours. They - re irregular In shape and sur- oonded by hedges of various keels. n the Midlands we noticed that ome of the farmers are removing heir hedges to make their fleldi arger and more suitable for power achinery. 1 might mention here that there re more treetops per acre in Bri- aia than in Ontario and there are very few horses in the better farm - ng areas. Some of the things we learned bout agriculture ,in Great Britain- ade us realize that. every boiint.ry as its own way of doing things, For instance, the average farmer ,, Britain keeps. as much livestock but uses more labor on 100 acres ill' We do a a 200 -acre farm in Marie. J. M 'Woodley', of New- iltla�y, le a, getdlrelt tie, He fain, s a a b t a a r 8 m a a m b in 105 acres of land which he leases from the King. On that farm he keeps 60 bead of purebred Devon including 15 cows milking; 60 breeding ewes, a flock of 150 hens, and last year markdted 50 hogs. Besides this livestock, Mr; Wood- ley grows five acres of early pota- toes which he will plant this month (February) and, harvest in early June. Aller that he will use the same land , for broccoli or Brussels Sprouts, H•e Qperbtes the farm with the help of three men, two fimall tractors and two horses. He hires extra labor in harvest time. Mr. Woodley's farm buildings are stone and one storey high, maybe 150 years old. They are grouped around his house which is older Still. Farms such as this rent for tour or five pounds per acre (about $13 to $16 at the present rate of exchange). Restrictions and control, are the chief cause -of-=complaint here. Col- ored gasoline in what seems to be sufficient quantities can be obtain- ed for tractors, but only 18 gallons a month are'allowed for cars, and as a result there are few on the road. Farmers are told what to grow and nbey are graded A, B and C by the Agricultural. Committee, according to their efficiency. The prices of some every -day things are lower.here than"in Can- ada. Meat sells from Is 6d to +rs, (about 22-30 cents a pound)—but is tightly rationed. Some other foods are also cheap. The differ- ence• in price is made up by subsi- dies which cost the taxpayer 400 million pounds sterling last year. Many other goods are expensive atitnheitvily taxed. Cigarettes are es 6d (about 50e) for a package of 20. I think this is enough for this letter, but I must say here that' we've had a very interesting'visit and I'd like to come back to Eng- land in the spring or summer when a.il the trees• and hedges are green. I'm sure it must be beautiful. We are all excited nodi ;about our visit to the continent, and are look- ing forward to the trip. I'll tell you about some of our European expo-•riences in my next letter. �Ir ATTENTION FARMERS'`.'
