obtained a higher price than
your neighbour but that in no
way proves that you got a fair
pride. When producers are in
the marketing business they
are able to assess the market
and know what their products
should bring,
In view oe the much larger
than usual quantity of eed
grade wheat there was discus-
sion on the question of the im-
portation of U.S, feed grains.
It is reported that five million
bus. of US, oats was allowed
in eerly in August and a fur-
ther quota of 500.000 bus. was
released since. This importa-
tion of feed grain was per-
mitted 'supposedly to prevent
brokers from cornering the
market. However its results
seem to be limited since grain
on the Winnipeg exchange is
still higher than it was at the
time of the first quotas. It un-
doubtedly did help the large
feed lot producers and the ver-
tically integrated industries but,
with Ontario oats currently:
betting the producer about;
$40.00 per tons it didn't do'
much for the farmer.
Freight assistance also came
under discussion as detrimen-
tal to the Ontario wheat produ-
cer and I was very interested
to hear since the meeting that
Some of our large beef opera-
tors are beginning to realize
that cheap grain means cheap
beef.
Farmers who produce their
own grain and feed it must
surely soon realize that their
costs are the same regardless
of the price on the grain rriar-
ket. It is the livestock, produced:
on cheap grain, brought into
Ontario that reduces their pre
and income.

hearty approval. This does not
mean that improvements can-
not be rnade but real progress
is being made,
After a year's effort with
some million bushels of space
at the Port Colborne elevator
the storage situation is better
but still far from adequate. The
board was urged tocontinue
its efforts to either find some
way by which farmers could
build their own storage or have
a definite lease on storage fa-
cilities.
The problem of low quality
wheat due to sprouting or rust
is serious this year. Some far-

lower grades as well. It is un-
fortunate that so many farm-
ers place themselves in the po-
sition that they have to sell.
Undoubtedly this 70e wheat

a handsome profit to the deal-
ers.

Everett Biggs, in speaking to
the meeting, pointed out that
producer marketing provides

price levels. Previously through

your baby pigs with Purina Baby Pig
Chow and Purina Pig Startena,
Get your baby pigs away to a flying
start Withoutsetbaek with these "Past -
Start Twits." They suppletnent the
sow's milk and contain built-in vita-
mins, minerals, and antibiotic fortifi-
aition needed for fast sturdy growth.
Creep feeding. your baby pigs with
Purina's "Fast -Start Twins" takes ad-
vantage Of their early urge4o-grow,
This is important to you because it ids
you take advantage of their early feed
converting efticiency. It takes less than
2 pounds of feed to put on a pound of
gam when they're voting. As your pip
grow older, they just can't make as
bfficiett gains at such lw cOst. Give
your baby pig e a quick start on the
road to market by creep feeding Purina.
