We would litre -.to hear from you. There has been grave con- cern in Federation of Agricul- ture circles about the importa- tion of fairly large quantities of Polish eggs. Since eggs come under a Government ptpe price plan, import permits could be required before any importer could bring in foreign eggs. This imp.ortation will con- tinue to have a depressing along ef- fect on our egg prices period. Importing this product seems doubly unreasonable since the weighed average price for "A" large eggs for the current sup- port price year now stands as of May 5, at 33.9 cents per doz- en.

By FAIR.BAIRN -The hot, dry weather of last week added to the headaehea of farmersall over Ontario, and reports 'from out west about probabilities of feed grain pro- duction there haven't helped alleviate the discomfort. Wheat acreage in Ontario is down, al- though soma spring sowing may boost it a bit. In the west, there is definite indication that farmers are stepping up their wheat acreage despite very dry weather, and this will be . at the expense of feed grains like oats and barley, as well - as some of the oil seed crops.

Sowreliable seed and be sure your crop gets a good start. • Contracts Available COOK BROS. MILLING CO.•LTD. Phone 24 or 249 Hensall Ont Ontario farmers usually tbuy about 50 million bushels of feed grain from the west and up to 20 million bushels of corn from the U.S. to augment ..their own production. Oats and barley are in short supply now, and• the pegged exchange rate at the lower level of 921 cents will, certainly increase the price of corn brought in from the U.S. Crop reports from the west on yield prospects are not encouraging. Even Manitoba, wher soil moisture - is reported to be satisfactory, had only half as much rain in April as the average of 1,08 inches. Soil moisture conditions in southern Saskatchewan and southern Al- berta are critical, and reliable sources report soil drifting this early in the season. It looks as though only timely rains during the growing season in most of the west is the only thing that will avert another disastrous year for them,___.___ _. All this means that Ontario farmers could be short' on feed grain next winter unless they produce a lot more themselves, Seed ,sales this spring were higher and there may be some increase in overall oats and barley acreage, but this dry weather will influence the catch, so careful use of fertil- izer and a planned weed con- trol program will really pay div- idends this year. If it isn't too late to sow an extra few ages., —many areas could still plant grain corn—it could pay real dividends this year. Agriculture Minister Stewart advocated an increase of at least 20 per in feed grain production in On- tario soon after he ,took office last fall, and officials are hope- ful that many farmers took this advice. Guessing now is that an increase in feed grain pro- duction of 30 per cent could be utilized, but any increase is highly unlikely under present weather conditions 'without quite an increase in acreage: What that may be, nobody can tell at the moment. There was an unusual- devel- opment on the vertical integra- tionfront last . week .when the first big company in Canada to take a public stand on this top- ic announced that it was op- posed to V.I. It went even far- ther — the chairman of the board said his company would fight vertical integration in ag- riculture as it had in the flour milling business three decades ago. This company has one feed plant in Ontario and three in Quebec. Vertical integration has made itself felt in the broiler busi- ness in Ontario, in the vege- table field, as well as in other poultry and livestock.

Brucellosis Free Areas Increase Brucellosis certified areas in Canada now stand at 373 in the program launched in 1957 to eradicate the disease, accord- ing to the Health of Animals Division, . Canada Department of Agriculture. Testing is being carried out .in another 174 areas. To date, some 7.5 million cattle have been or are being dealt with under the program, with near- ly five million of them in areas already certified. For an area to qualify for certification, it must -contain no more than one per cent of infected cattle distributed over no more than five per cent' of all herds. The certified areas by prov- inces: Prince Edward Island, 3; Nova Scala, 18; New Bruns- wick, 15;Quebec, 16; Ontario, 37; Manitoba, 83; Saskatchewan, 184; Alberta, 7; British Colum- bia, 9; Yukon, 1. So far in the program, 107,- 000 diseased animals have been killed and compensation of more than $7.5 million paid to owners. Canada's cattle population is in the neighborhood of 12 million.

But there's a tremendous difference beneath the surface ... a paused but healthy economy ..'. a population asleep but ready for the next day. Another invisible factor, just below the surface, is insurance. Insurance in its many forms protects the community when it is awake or asleep — against the risk of loss from fire, accident, theft, liability, storm and the multitude of other hazards we all face from day to day. Without the protection which insurance provides, most thriving Canadian municipalities might well be ghost towns. Without that protection — which comes only when the catastrophic losses of the few can be spread among the many — most of the enterprises which make our Canadian centres prosperous today could not have been undertaken. The tremendous individual risks of sudden dis- aster would have made such enterprises too one-sided a gamble with fate.
