Agricultural
Tidbits
° With Adrian Vos.
Union Carbide went on strike
and it costs the farmer money.
That may sound strange at first
glance. If the grain handlers
strike or the meat packers it is
obvious that this will have a de-
pressing effect on those commod-
ities. Well, Union Carbide mak-
es most of the casings for sausage
and when they went on strike the
packers curtailed their purchases
of sows with a resultant drop in
prices, When facilities at the
packer are sitting idle it costs
him money, so he passes this loss
to the consumer in the form of a
small increase on all his product.
So a seemingly unrelated strike in
industry makes for a loss to the
farmer and higher price to the
consumer.
1 saw a picture recently of a
loin of hog of eight years ago and
one of this year. Tliie difference
is -truly amazing. While the old
loin was almost half fat, the new
one had.only a very small rim of
this. It shows clearly what great
improvement has been made in'
the last .few years to improve the
quality .of pork. The Canadian
hog has been truly redesigned.
Here is a quote from the "Nation-
al Hog Farmer" , an American
magazine: "Many of those who are
making the most noise' about the
middleman arid about food prices
could well paraphrase that oft„
quoted comment .of Pogo's about
pollution: 'We have the
middleman and he is us'°." That
ghostly middleman is the packing-
house worker. He's the retail store
employee. He's the truckdriver,
the waitress , the baker, the froz-
en pie maker. Labour makes up
nearly half, 48% of the marketing
charges on food. Hourly labor
costs of the food marketing firms
ncreased 70% since 1962. Part
of that increase was reduced by
ncreased output per man hour,
educing the additional labor cost
per unit of product marketed to
47%. But that increase was not
achieved by working faster or
Larder , it was achieved by large
expenditures for new plants and
facilities to a total of more than
abillion in 1973 alone. Corpor-
ate profits before taxes rose no
more than 4%.

AND increased rates of gain. Yougo just that with
MGA -100 added to your SHUR • GAIN SuppleMent.
Repeated feeding trials have demonstrated positive economic advantages. With
MGA -100, FEED EFFICIENCY is,improved 6-7% in untreated heifers, 3-5% in heifers
on diethylstibestrol . . ., and RATE -OF -GAIN IS IMPROVED 10-11% and
5-6% respectively. That adds up to reduced feeding cost . . . increased feeding
