MARKET SITUATION IS EXPLAINED BY DON. J. G. GARDINER Canada's Minister of Agriculture, the Right Honorable James Gard- iner, in addressing the 16th annual Lions Club's "Farmers' Night" in Minton Friday night, gave a clear and 'concise picture of Canada's ag- ziculturai problems at the present time, covering the foot and mouth didease in cattle, the close of the American market, the loss of the Tinted Kingdom market and of the 'crisis facing cheese producers. '"Canada is one of the largest farm producing countries in the -world today, but at the present Cone she is not able to sell her important food products outside her country. After 1941, United $ tater• -regulations cut off our ex- porting western wheat into• that country, and since the outbreak of -the foot and mouth disease early Mists year, we can't- whip cattle or fresh meat into the States: How- ever, -we do expect some. canned meat, althorigh a small quantity, to her. In our dairy products, we can't exportcheese and we haven't enough 'butter for ourselves.' "Our price on hogs is higher than that of the UnitedStates by two or three cents per pound, and our beef price is lower—so, gener- ally speaking our price range is the same as that of the U.S. "But," Mr. Gardiner added, "we are not permitted to take advant- age of the American market with; our surplus. ' "We are not being critical of the illaaited States for the recently im- posed embargo on Canadian live. Mock. and meats. For many years ore have not permitted American 'hogs into Canada, as a safeguard against cholera." Speaking on the foot-and-mouth; disease, which threatened domes- tic chaos, for the agriculture .in- dlustry, Mr. Gardiner confessed that because it was unheard of in Can- aia, little was known of the disease at the time of the outbreak, He said that the cattle affected out West, to his surprise, did not die from the disease until they were shot. For some time the cattle appear- ed cured, by all outward appear- ance, he continued, but it was for its meat, than what Canada Sound that the -animals remain could sell it to her for; butter is affected, and that they could break sold to Britain by New Zealand for 16 cents less than what Canadians pay for their own, In concluding, Mr. Gardiner ad- vised all. producers not to attempt to push production much higher un- til there is an open market. Reeve of Hu]lett Township, Wm. J.' Dale, introduced the honored guest, as a native of Huron County, and as a man who has served in both Provincial and Dominion Gov- ernments since 1913. Hie family for three generations back has served the people, with his grandfather be- ing reeve of Hibbert Township at one time. Stuart Middleton, Clinton, moved a vote of appreciation to the guest speaker, and R. S. McKercher, H.R. 1, Dublin, extended thanks to the Lions Club on• behalf of the farmer guests present.

In the case of dairy cattle, cows will not give milk; if beef, Che cattle won't •put beef on, The -disease, according to the minister, is one of the most contagious. In coming back to the market situation, Mr. Gardiner said that last year Canada sent 20 per cent of her beef tat -the U.S. in live form, and this year she might have ex- ported 10 per cent. had no foot-and- mouth ootand- mouth disease developed. "Our problem is then, that we have a 10 War cent 'surplus. We must there- fore increase our domestic con- sumption and as well decrease the marketing. The co-operation of the farmers who are raising the live- stock must be given," he said. "If you flood the, markets, you will be lowering the prices of your awn product." At this time Mr. tlardiner recalled his ancestors' method of selling their Livestock— ' they waited at home, with their livestock in the barns, for someone to offer to .buy them. "People le those days didn't rush to Toronto to crowd the 'markets. This wouldn't be a bad, policy to ,follow," he said, "There is no meat, either cattle or hogs, allowed to come to Canada from anywhere, be- cause we need the whole Canadian market to market your problems," tie added, saying that the market should therefore be supplied to keep the surplus 10 per cent beef back on the grass."

FRIDAY,;' .' MAT,2,;,, 952 McLean 1soss1 §4Alls ah. 7i'iPs '4 .t? EGG, POULTRY MARKETING PLAN TURNED DOWN t• The proposed, egg and poultry marketing scheme, voted on by the commercial egg producers, of On- tario during the three-day period ending April 19, has not been ap- proved, according to an announce- ment from the Ontario Farm Pro - duets Marketing Board. In making the announcement, the Board stat- ed that an. insufficient number of producers registered their vote on the proposed scheme. Before the vote was taken, it was mutually agreed with the representatives of the poultry producers that, since no complete list of producers in the Province was available, a favour- able vote of not less than 33;000 voters would he necessary before the scheme would be considered for approval. The results of the vote indicate that interest fell far short of the degree of public support nec- essary to have it approved. Reports received to date from 50 out of the 55 counties and districts of Ontario show a total vote as fol- lows: Proposed Egg Scheme: Yes, 7,496; No, 7,450. Proposed Poultry Meat Scheme: Yes, 7,048; No, 6,568. The Board further points out that at least a two-thirds majority of favourable votes cast is required before a marketing scheme is ap- proved. Thus, even on the basis of the actual vote cast, the scheme could not have been approved. The scheme was proposed to bol- ster egg prices against periodic fluctuations. Many .producers have expressed concern over fate of the business invi.he face of recent price reductions. The plan would have called' for a marketing group to handle all dealings with wholesalers on be- half of the producers. The scheme called for a one - cent -per -dozen levy on all eggs sold through registered egg grad- ing stations to finance a central ag- ency which would buy surplus eggs in times of overproduction, store them and sell them to the higbest bidder when supplies.. became less plentiful. Later, it would have been ex- tended: to other poultry products. According to G. W. Montgomery, Huron County agricultural repre- sentative, figures of the vote by county would not be released im- mediately. Elliott; mixed groceries, Clair Haney, Mrs. Mary Box.

Stephen Eckert 'Began in Milwaukee The first hearings of cause for beatification and canonization of a friar in the Milwaukee, Wis., Arch- diocese, began a little over a month ago at Milwaukee, involving a native of Huron County. The hearing at 'St Benedict the Moor's Church was far the Rev. Stephan Eckert, .0.F.M„ Cap„ who was born in McKillop. April 28th, 1869. Father Eckert, the first resi- dent pastor of St. Benedict's, made his classical studies at :St. Jer- ome's College, Kitchener, and en- tered the Capuchins in Detroit on May 21, 1891. He was ordained at Milwaukee on July 2, 1896. His first years in the priesthood were spent in New York City, where the earned a reputation as a zealous mission- ary and retreat master, but he longed to work among the Negroes in the -southern U.S. In 1913 his superiors took note of his ambition and assigned him to the mission for colored' people at Milwaukee. For the next ten years Father. Eckert worked diligently, and de- voted his time and talent, and sacrificed; his health for the cause of the colored. While on, a mission tour in Iowa, he contracted pneu- monia, and was brought .back to Milwaukee, where he died on Feb, 16, 1923. Dna of his last statements was: "Here I lie idle while thou- sands of souls perish." His body lies beneath a marble monument on the parish grounds of St. Benedict the Moor's Church.
