Livestock sector
North American livestock producers
should benefit from a reduced level of pork
production during 1990 according to an
agricultural forecast from the Royal Bank
of Canada.
But corn and soybean farmers in Ontario
can expect continued downward price
pressure throughout 1990 says Bill Gray,
the bank's Head Office manager of
agricultural services.
"Grain prices are lower on a year-to-
year basis, despite the fact that consump-
tion continues to grow and stock levels-
decline," Mr. Gray told a bank -sponsored
farm seminar. "One explanation for this
market reaction is that, in the absence of
the high inflation and food scarcity
psychology of the early 70s, buyers have
become complacent with the tighter supp-
ly and demand balance."
Barring weather-related problems in a
major crop producing area, Mr. Gray
predicted that markets would remain weak
as available supplies appear adequate to
meet demand
Irene Flanagan - most lone bands, Brother
Percy Coe, consolation and Marie Hielmell
won the door prize.
The next game will be held on Friday,
February 23 at 8 p.m. in the Knights of
Columbus hall. Lunch is provided and
everyone is welcome.
BACK FROM HOLIDAY
Father Joseph Hardy, pastor of St. Col -
shows promise
He also predicted that several factors
would help the livestock sector remain pro-
fitable in 1990, the major one being the
reduced level of pork output in the U.S.
"While Canadian hog inventories will not
decline as much, if at all, Canadian pro-
ducers will share in the higher North
American prices," he explained. "Cattle
prices are expected to increase on the
basis of reduced beef output and higher
hog prices," he added.
Cattle and hogs will also benefit from a
lower Canadian dollar which will be
reflected in higher Ontario producer prices.
Other highlights of the bank's
agricultural briefing: sales of dairy pro-
ducts have declined, leading to a 3 per
cent cut in market share quota for Ontario
dairy farmers. Seed prices are expected to
increase slightly in 1990, but not as much
as the 1989 increase. Fuel consumption will •
remain steady with costs being higher due
to reduced rebates and increased excise
tax.

each group recited their promise for the

Rev. Wright's sermon was based on the
Gospel Lesson taken from Matthew 5:38-48
and was entitled "Beating The Wimp Fac-

our enemies with imagination, humour,
