WE MUST PRODUCE BETTER,
POST-WAR POULTRY
By T. A. Benson, West Hill, Ontario.
(Note—This is the third of a
series of comments by well-known
authorities, written expressly for
the Weekly Press of Ontario.)
Notwithstanding the really wonder-
ful progress which has been made by
our Canadian Poultry Industry during
the past thirty years due to the intro-
duction and administration of Federal
and Provincial Government Poultry
Policies, and the earnest efforts made
by some of our Canadian hatcherymen
and our leading poultrymen, much re-
mains still to bt done if we hope to
meet the Post War world competition
by which we shall inevitably be faced.
Government Policies and leadership
are necessary and good, but our poul-
try industry must show initiative,
stand on its own feet and do things
instead of leaning on Governments en-
tirely.
It is true that in our Canadian Poul-
try Industry Committees we have a
shining example of leading poultry-
men showing strong initiative, led by
the Poultry Industry Committee of
Ontario.
Since 1939 due to war conditions
poultrymen who have risen to grasp
the opportunity presented have exper-
ienced what might be described as a
poultrymen's paradise and while this
cannot be expected to continue after
the war, Britain does and will need
shell eggs in addition to dried eggs in
large quantities.
Due to the splendid work carried on
by the Special Products Board, Ot-
tawa, the prices agreed upon to be
paid by the British Ministry of Food
' good feeds, greatly improved housing
and a carefully planned sanitation pro-
gramme faithfully carried out in all
details,
Whether the objective is high qual-
ity eggs or poultry meat, or both,
overcrowding must be avoided as must
poor housing. Ample room, plenty of.
good feed, a continuous supply of
fresh pure water with a regular supply
of green feed, grit and shell or lime-
stone, and good clean range, in order
that the birds may grow and develop
without any let-up to avoid stunting,
We must bear in mind "Once stunted
always stunted". By this time the
breeding birds should have been select-
ed, and it should be remembered that
the male bird is half the flock. To
be successful in breeding the poultry-
rna'n must know his birds, male and
feinale, the best only being placed in
the breeding pen, If there should be
any doubt as to the quality of available
birds for breeding purposes chicks
should be purchased from a reliable
hatchery and brooded carefully in a
properly constructed brooder house
and properly equipped,
The ultimate goal must be a high
quality product with an eye appeal for
it must be remembered that we eat
with our eyes, It may be safe to say
that in the majority of instances re-
modelling of farm poultry houses or
new houses and some new equipment
Will he necessary to carry out the pro-
gramme efficiently.
Wise, farsighted farmers will have
laid motley by dttring the war years
which if not Spent hi the meantime
Will be available to Meet the need for
improvements tiddeb must be Made in
the near future. Such money could
not be more safely invested than in
Victory Bonds to be used only in mak-
ing carefully Vanned improvements
which are urgently needed, or as they
become needed; improvements such as
new buildings, new equipment, repairs
and additions to buildings, repairing
equipment and other improvements ac-
cording to circumstances.
ALL MUCKED UP
r AND STICKY TOO
If you think it's fun opening some
one else's parcel and finding rotten
eggs garnished with talcum powder,
you're no` friend of the lads at the
First Canadian Army Base Post Of-
fice, somewhere in Northwest Europe.
One of their jobs is to see to the
parcels that are s not properly packed
or are damaged in transit, and if pos-
sible speed them on their way,
But what a glorious mess! . The
delicious plum preserves that mother
put up last fall and George always
loved was sent off in glass jar and
it now running sticky into everything
else, troken glass has cut the en-
velopes containing soup and cocoa
which are sifting 'lute two pairs of the
grandest soeks, Syrup is oozing out
of its carton, which has been bashed
in by the heavy tin alongside, It's a
sorry business, all just for lack of
Common Sense,
Don't for senders: Don't pack
matches or lighter fluids. Don't send
foods that cart spoil. Don't send
liquids in cartons or glass., Don't for-
get to affix complete customs declar-
ation. Don't use shoe boxes, as they,
crush easily.
27,360 DOZEN EGGS
IN ONE RAILWAY CAR
What is believed to be the largest
number of eggs ever to be loaded into
a single railway refrigerator car in
Canada passed through Montreal re-
cently over lines of the Canadian Nat-
ional Railways. There were 328,320
eggs in the 912 cases packed into the
car. The shipment came from Edmon-
ton. Alta., and was en route to an East-.
ern Canadian port for export. The
27,360 dozen weighed 52,500 pounds.
"In pre-war days, such a consign-.
ment would have required practically
two railway reefers", stated H. H.
Sparling, chief of transportation for
the National System, "Early reports
indicate that the new method of load-
ing--tried for the first time in Canada
—is satisfactory for the shipment of
fresh eggs," he added. "To fill every
square inch of space in the ear, the
cases were piled six layers high with
152 cases to a layer. Only the over-
head-iced type of refrigerator car,
which was -developed by C. N. R.
mechanical and perishable traffic ex-
pots. can be loaded this new way,"
Mr. Spading said,
Poi' the 2,'000-mile rail trip; the top
inside temperature of the car was
maintained at 45 degrees:, At icing
stations, the honkers were .fined with
two tons of tracked led to provide the
necessary refrigeration.

will ensure fair prices for eggs of the
right quality to be shipped to Britain
during 1945 at least. It was recently
announced that at least 600,000 cases
of shell eggs are to be exported from
Canada before April 30th, 1945, and
that only Grade A Large and Grade
A Medium eggs will be packed for
Export,
The Market poultry outlook is also
good for high quality poultry meat.
Recently, however, there has been far
too much Grade C poultry offered for
sale for which there can be no excuse,
The markets are not interested in this
thin, unfinished, unsightly product be-
cause consumers do not want it.
So far as Market poultry is' concern-
ed Grade A milk fed and Grade B
milk fed should be the objective of
all who hope to succeed in marketing
poultry meat really profitably.
It is quite evident that we must
bring about improved conditions if we
hope to meet competition successfUll5;.
How shall we do this better job? It
should be understood that, we would
not advocate a further expansion of
our poultry industry, particularly in
Ontario, but greater production of high
quality eggs from the same number
of birds and more high quality poultry
meat,
Greater efficiency must be our
Watch-Word..
The need is for more early hatched
chicks to produce earlier; better grown
pulleta. Which together with summer
tnOulted yearling hens would go far in
bringing about the needed improve.
ment in our poultry industry.
