Among these we find radio and television commen- tators, some of whom have been saying that farm people are in- consistent because they want a color range reserved for butter and at the same time grow oil seeds for the manufacture of margarine. What these people fail to mention is that only a small percentage of the oils used in margarine manufacture are produced in Canada. • Ever since its origin, almost 12 years ago, the Institute of Edible Oil Foods and its sup- porters, have been predicting a tremendous increase in the acreage to oilseed crops in Canada. Production of margar- ine would be the main stimu- lant in increased production of these crops. Their argument was very simple: wipe out re- strictions on margarine produc- tion and acreage to oil seed crops in Canada would increase accordingly and manufacturers would not have to import for- eign oils for the output of margarine in this country. There are certain requirements to meet, however. The industry wants earlier maturing varie- ties of oilseeds with high yields per acre and increased oil con- tent. This is understandable. In addition, among other things, the industry wants plant.breed- ers to breed out toxic com- pounds in rape seed; reduce linolenic and erucic acid in all oilseeds to zero, and add some palmitoleic acid to sunflower seeds to improve crystalliza- tion. Until these objectives are achieved, there now appears lit- tle likelihood of Canadian pro- duced oilseeds competing with imported foreign oils in the manufacture of margarine. This is not usually detailed in the industry's propaganda. The pre- dicted increase in oilseed pro- duction to meet the needs,. of the margarine manufacturer is much further away than farm- ers have been red to believe. By MRS. JOHN W. ELLIOTT' Secretary The board of directors of the Ontario Hog Producer& Asso- ciation met March 29. The elec- tion of officers resulted in Ben Steers as president; Howard Huctiwth, vice-president, and J. Boynton appointed secretary - manager. The organization meeting of the Ontario Hog Producers' Marketing Board was held in Toronto April 3. Lance Dickie - son was elected chairman; Clare Curtin, vice-chairman, and the executive committee as elected, together with chairman, were Eldred Aiken, Ben Steers and John Barnett. James Boyton was reappointed secretary -man ager, and J. R. K. Kohler was reappointed general manager• of the sales division. Hog prices have dropped ser- iously as most farmer shipping hogs know all too well. Hogs shipped in the first week of April amounted to 54,231 hogs and an expected 56,600 hogs for the week of April 8th to llth. News report taken from On- tario Milk Producers' Co-ordin- ating board: Attention! The provincial government has an- nounced that it will introduce legislation after the Easter re- cess to permit margarine to be colored, Eat not the color of butter. According to our in- formation, the legislation, if passed, will be similar to that in Manitoba and Nova Scotia, which reserves the lighter shades of yellow for butter. Margarine interests are apply- ing pressure by letters, wires and telephone to have all color restrictions removed. What can you do to counteract this move? The Minister of Agriculture and the Government will be in a much stronger position if he has literally hundreds . of let- ters asking that margarine be not allowed the -same color as butter. Plan to see your mem- ber again before the Legisla- ture convenes after, Easter, and get everyone you can to write to the Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. W. A. Stewart, Par- liament Buildings, Toronto, ask- ing that margarine be not al- lowed to use the same color' as butter. Your Seaforth dealer is: OPNOTCH FEEDS LIMITED "The Most Value For the Farmer's Dollar" .:PEONE 775 SEAFORTH oils and fats used in the pro- duction of Canadian margarine in 1962 were as follows: cocoa- nut 18.4 million pounds, cot- tonseed . 3.1 million pounds, palm and palm kernel 13.2 mil- lion pounds, soybean 55.2 mil- lio pounds, other vegetable oils 9.2 million pounds, and animal oils '7.5 million .pounds. These figures all prove that there has been a general trend away from the use of soybean oil in the production of mar- garine and greater use o1', ma- rine and fish oils, cocoanut oil and palm oil. Canadian producers of flax- seed and rapeseed can be very thankful that they have an ex- port market overseas for both types of oilseeds. Their reli- ance on the manufacturers of edible oil foods in Canada as an outlet for their products would, at this time, appear ex- tremely hazardous, production - wise and price -wise. It is quite obvious that oil seeds production is not vitally important to the Canadian farmers' economy. The reten- tioh of a color range for butter is a different matter. Yellow is not the natural color of mar- garine, but it is the natural color of butter, and the only reason manufacturers wish to color it yellow is so that it will imitate butter. What other pos- sible reason can there be? Gen- erally speaking, yellow food has become associated with but- ter. If butter had always been white, the margarine people would scream to high heaven if they were forced to add color to margarine. It is my opinion that the farmer is fully justi- fied in asking Parliament to preserve to him the good will he has built up over the years for butter and the color which goes with and is' a part of that good will. In 1960, Canadians consumed over 277,000,000 pounds of re- fined vegetable oils in edible oil foods for all uses. Over 55 per cent of this was soybean oil and a very high Percentage of it was imported. But what is never mentioned is, that 65,000,000 pounds of soybean oil went into the manufacture of margarine in 1960, compared with 91,000,000 pounds the previous year. Neither do we hear that 32,000,000 pounds of cocoanut oil, palm and palm kernel oil' were used in the production of margarine, or about three times the quantity used in 1959. The use of mar- ine and fish oils in manufac- turning the same product in 1960 increased to 31,000,000 pounds from 12,000,000 pounds in the preceding year. The latest available figures on oils and fats used in mar- garine production in Canada are for 1962. Approximately one-third of all the oils and fats used in the production of margarine in Canada in 1962 came under the classification of marine and fish oils. Of the 150 million pounds of oils used in the manufacture of margar- ine, 48.3 million had their ori- gin in the sea. Thirty-seven per cent of all the oils and fats useds.were non - vegetable but were from ani- mal and marine sources. Other Poultry Market Report During the first 12 weeks of 1963, 62 million pounds of chicken were processed in reg- istered in p o u t r y processing plants. This represents a 9.6 per cent increase over the, 56 million pounds of chicken pro- cessed during the first twelve weeks of 1962. To date, in 1963, there have been no in- spected exports• of poultry, but imports of chicken have amounted to 613 thousand pounds compared with the 216 thousand pounds imported by this time last year. Imports of chicken parts have amounted to 869 thousand pounds, compared with 536 thousand in the same period of last year.

SCOTT POULTRY FARMS LTD. calls it balanced breeding and its aim is to get maximum profit at the end of the laying year after all factors have been accounted for. The superior egg quality delivered by Kimberchiks from SCOTT POULTRY, FARMS LTD. is an important source of extra income for most producers.
