The Huron Expositor, 1954-01-15, Page 6ilf yt k'. n Residents Must Understand Farmer's Problem • >_ S� to some 3'00 farmers at the annual banquet of the Dundas tllnty Holstein Weeders' Club, 'ttetd, recently at. Morrisburg, R. K. Bennett, Chief of the Livestock Marketing Service, Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture, said: "The er needs the support and sym- of his fellow urban citizens it the latter are to willingly pay fair prices. Fifty years ago half the population of Canada was en- gaged n gaged in farming, while today it is less than 20 per cent. Many city people know virtually nothing about farmir),g as they have no con- tact with farmers or farming. based on the misconceptions of my neighbors in Ottawa, city con- sumers belies a four things, he said: The price of farm products are too high; farmers make tpp rough •pro- fit; farmers' bane iiore control ov- er prices than is actually the case. City people do not understand the essential nature of the farmers business—that of producing food. The Canadian public is not Munn - kind judge of anyone if the public is informed as to what goes on. Farmers should follow the example of other industries in public rela- tions—the latter offer an explana- tion when prices go up, they en- courage -visitors to plants so that the consumers will understand their problems. Something in the na- ture of a Farm Festival Week might be the answer ---choose some good dairy farm and announce that visitors Trout the city will be wel- come during any particular week. IY consumers see.a farm in opera- tion they will understand that milk dues nett come out of a bottle. and that it costs money to produce." -To..tbe young man eager to leave the farm for the glamour of the city, Mr. Bennett. had this to say: "There are 14 million people and 210,000 businesses in Canada so the chances are that the farm boy will end up as a working man in the city, whereas he is leaving 4 farm business to trade space, neighbors, real leisure, green acres and pure bred livestock for the rat -race and ulcer making goose step of our big cities, which is just shear nonsense." .Mr. Bennett stat- ed that the ratio of cattle to hu- mans in Canada is now the lowest since Confederation. With beef prices dropping to the long time relationship—the price of live cat; tle about 75 per cent of the price of live hogs, the consumption has gone way up, jumping from a week- ly average in 1952 of 21,200, out of inspected slaughter to 27,000 this year. In the last five weeks this figure has increased to 34,000. Lower prices this week indicate that the increased runs of the past five weeks have amounted to more cattle than the Canadian public will readily -absorb. This means that some surplus will have to go to the United States, and the price drop -to the level where this is possible. According to Mr. Bennett, the United States is the key to our marketing situation. 'At' present it is the only outlet for Canada's sur- plus meats. The prospects. are for beef prices in the 'United States to be better, to remain steady at pre- sent levels and 'then step up during the winter. The fed cattle are two sitters, Hiss practically all out, of the feed lots. Katie Shelby,Ohio: and Mrs. Y. 's.

Mrs. Darwin Dowds, tie have been o tpgrted ,#Pf�,�� V.S. 'Mr. Bennett expressed eonfld'Once in the long terin outlook for Cana than livestock producers. Ile point- ed• to the statement of Dr. Darke, Agricultural Attache, United King- dom High Commissioners Office, Ottawa 'pointing out at the recent Dominion - Provincial Conference that the pound sterling was now stronger and that the U.K. was far from self sufficient in butter, cheese, bacon and hams, and car- cass meat, In the U.S.A., there is a tremendous increase in popula- tion. totalling • 2,700,000 per year, or about the size of Montreal and Toronto combined. He estimated that in 1975, Canada will have 25 million population, and United States 19r million. '1'o maintain the present diet iu the United States will" require a tremendous increase in production --cattle 100 million as against 94 million at present, milk from 54 billion quarts to 68 billion; pigs from 99 million to 120 million. By 1975, one farm- er will have 20 people to feed as against 15 at. present. To produce the required -increase in food, the U.S.A. would ueed 115 million acres extra crop land. It is estimated that .there is only about 45 million available. So un- less scientific advances in food pro- duction are very rapid, there is' bound to be an outlet for any Cana- dian surplus on this continent.
