Mese exports were mostly to the United States and on the whole continent there is little if any sur- plus of meas. For Canada, the United States is at present the on- ly market that can afford to pay our prices, and whose prices we can afford to take, but the Unit+ d Kingdom may again assume impor- tance. Canada sells to the United States when their price less tariff or du- ty, freight and selling charges (plus or minus exchange) exceeds the Canadian price. The United States sells to Canada when their price plus duty, freight and selling charg- es (plus or minus exchange) can compete with the Canadian price. There is an area of price range therefore, when prices are in bal- ance and there is no movement either way. With hogs it may be possible to sell certain cuts to the United States when it would not be possible to export the whole hog. There is a very marked trend in the United States away from the fat hog. They are developing ser- iously and rapidly a number of new strains and breeds whioh they call the meat hog, They are definitely striving for the kind of hog Canada has been producing for years. United States buyers in Alberta are .criticizing some Alber- ta hogs for being too fat. Canada cannot hope to market fatter hogs in the United States and make money on them. The main factor affecting price is supply and demand. This factor is modified by export prices. gov- ernment supports, trade quotas, and disease restrictions (foot and mouth disease, hog cholera). Sea- sonal variations also occur. In cat- tle, the fall run is heavy and of low average quality. In hogs, the heaviest run is in fall, winter or THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE ENDURANCE RUN WAS HELD IN CHICAGO IN 1695 OVER A 5311i MILE COURSE.TflEWINNING CAR WAS A DURYEA... AVERAGE SPEED: 54 MPH.

L Becker and sec- onded econded by L. H. Rader, that the min- utes inutes of the June 7 and June 26 meetings be adopted as read. Moved by L. Greb and seconded by L. H. Rader, that in response to the request made in writing by Ervin J. Willert to have about 40 rods of the Willert Drain cleaned out, we engaged L. IL Turnbull ,to do the necessary work. Moved by V. L. Becker and sec- onded by Delbert Geiger, that Mon- day, onday, August 2, be declared a Civic Holiday for Hay Township and Zurich. Moved by L. H. Rader and sec- onded by L. Greb, that accounts for spring. It may occur in almost any month except July and August. As a result, prices are usually higher in summer. Regional variations al- so occur as a result of supply and demand in different areas. Marketings of different classes of meats are affected by the consum- er's choice. Per capita consump- tion of meat in Canada by civilians as recorded by the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics for each year from 1943 to 1952, inclusive, show that consumption of all meats per per- son has dropped from 155 pounds for 1943 to 12$ pounds in 1952, Pork consumption was highest in 1951-67.8 pounds, as compared with 61 pounds in 1943. It drop- ped to 62.2 pounds in 1952 and there is evidence of a further drop in 1953. Beef consumption was 69 pounds in 1943 and declined stead- ily to 39 in 1952. Veal consump- tion showed a similar decline from 10 pounds in 1943 to 6.7 in 1952. What lack of supply can do to consumption' is drastically illus- trated in the figures for lamb and mutton -4,6 pounds per capita in 1943, dropping to 1.9 in 1952, a de- cline of 58.7 per cent. During this same period consumption of can- ned meats increased • from 3.1 pounds per capita to 7.2 pounds. There is distorted thinking by some producers about hog quality. There has been a strong effort to- wards economy of production, and some thinking that economy of pro- duction is the primary aim. Quality and economy of production should be considered together. Canadian hog producers cannot relax on qual- ity because they are out of the United Kingdom market. The Unit- ed States will not take fat Cana- dian bogs. Their own production is now tending more and more to- wards the meat hog. • (city) (zone) (state) LUNDELL FARM E Q UIPMENT We are agents for LUNDELL Farm Machinery FORAGE HARVESTERS will pick up hay in swath, straw, or cut standing grass with no changing of machine.

You May Throw One Egg But It Must Not Land? (By William Chapman White in the New York Herald Tribune). Much of our conception of hu- man rights, as the authorities point out, rests on English law and on the great documents and decisions of that' law. Any one interested in knowing just -what rights a human, particularly a husband, does have in this shrinking world will find that British justice has recently accorded husbands a brand new right. Briefly stated, without any legal verbiage, of which the American people have had enough for a life- time, the British Court of Appeals has stated bluntly that a 'husband can heave an egg at his wife any time he wishes The wife can't therefore charge him with cruelty; in fact, she can only charge him with extravagance. As in all things legal, there are several provisos. Before eggs start flying over 10,000 breakfast table$, the husbands had better knoll. them; Firstly, they may only throw one egg; secondly, they must miss the target. This legal dictum that is certain to enliven if not disrupt married life was uttered just a few weeks ago by their learned and bewigged lordships, the judges on the Ap- peals bench. They had before them a difficult case. A lady was appeal ing against the rejection of her divorce petition, alleging cruelty by her husband. As proof of that cruelty, she testified that he threw an egg across the table at her. The judges looked rightly shock ed until Lord Justice Singleton ask ed, with legal acumen, "And hit her?" "Missed her, my lord," aid the lady's lawyer. "Urn!" said the judge. Another SEAFORTH- MONUMENT WORKS OPEN DAILY - PHONE 863-j T. PRYDE & SON ALL TYPES OFA CEMETERY MEMORIALS Enquiries are invited.
