Beaver Lumber Co., Limited WINGIHCAIIC ONTABIO VIrbtAtil)Cf idetifly di/11ttKireLl..aituU stir a litt of Agriculture sent telegrams to our Fecleral members of Parliament ask, ing that they support the recommen- dation of the Dairy Farnierg of Can- ada in asking for a 02e floor price for butter for the coming year. A reply has been received from both our terest of our great Canadian dairy industry. A. copy of Hansard was also re- ceived by L, E. Cardiff, that contain- ed a speech made In the House of commons relevant to the floor price oil butter and the position of the dairy industry in general, There are so many important statements made re- garding the dairy industry that should be made known to our farm and lir- ban people alike, that I am going to attempt to summarize them in this article. The speaker was the representative from Lanark County in Eastern Ont- ario and his statementsmust have been authentic for they were nut challenged in the house, Dr. L. R Pett of the Nutritional division of the department of Nat- ional Health and Welfare has stated that "no type of food is more impor- tant to health and good nutrition Lean milk products. Milk is regarded as the perfect food Dairy Products sup- ply 81 per cent of the calcium re- quired for the lnunan body, 57 per cent of the riboflavin, 17 per cent of vitamin A and other equally impor- tant vitamins. One pint of milk per day will provide an adult with 93 per cent of the minimum requirements of calcium, 83 per cent of riboflavin, and other necessary vitamins.' The house- wife spents 20 cents of every. dollar for milk -and-alittny"prodliet$,,,but' ill return she gets more than 'one' third of all the nutrients :she fends her family," n linking the dairy industry with conservation the speaker had this to say, "The raising of livestock pro- vides the best and cheapest method of putting back into the soil most of the good which the raisin; of crisp:; has taken from it. Good dairy farms do not become worn out and useless. There is no use talking conservation if we allow farmers continually to crop off their land, to cut down their NVOOdigtS in an effort to make a living for their families without restoring and revitalizing the soil. Such a pol- icy is little short of national suicide." Continuing his link between the dairy industry anti conservation the speaker stated, "You cannot expect a discouraged farmer to practise the new methods of farming, There must be a healthy dairy industry in order to preserve the land. This dairying industry should not be made up of discouraged farmers. It should be an industry which will give an adequate return for the investment, it should be an industry that will stop soil exhaus- tion and thereby aid soil conservation. In the long term view we can visual- ize abandoned farms unless there is a futre for the dairying industry much brighter than exists now." In referring to cost of production, the Lanark County Member remarks, "The Ontario Department of Agricul- ture survey carried on by Dr. H. R. Patterson from May 1st., 1949 to April 30th., 1950 in Lanark County, showed that the average dairyman in Lanark County lost 8147.00 on his milk pro- duction. The average cost of produc- ing 100 pounds of milk .was $2.83." Farm labour costs were figured at 50c per hour. We would all be employ- ing farm help If it could be secured at 50e per hour. Feed costs increased considerably since the survey was Made and so has the price paid for milk. The loss ratio will be substan- tially the same in 1951 as at the time of this survey. The speaker then Spoke of the un- fair competition confronting the dairy industry of today, "The vegetable oils used in the main products which are replacing Canadian dairy products, are almost entirely of foreign origin. The water—and I learned that water forms a substantial part of these pro- ducts—and the salt, are'Canadian." Our Lanark County friend made a clear cut case out of the proposal that our Canadian farmers could open up a new source of income by producing vegetable oils for substitute products. This cannot be done because the price of imported oils is so low our farmers cannot hope to compete with it, There is no duty on vegetable oils pro- duced within the Empire. The duty was reduced from 13 per cent to nil about one year ago. This places our farm population in direct cornpetition with people in countries where starv- ation. wages are paid and the vs,orking elas8 ar little better than slaves. Since this change in Empire tariffs took place, coconut oil is being used in place of cottonseed oil and Joya bean oil that was imported from United topping for pies, cakes, etc. It eon, tains no erearn. The post is about half the price of natural cream, In the United Btates a product is gold that is skim milk fortified with vegetable Oils and is sold as a re- placement for milk, I3y a similar pro- cess oils can he used to replace the cream, in ice .crectin. Farm cash income from dairying in 1950 was 562,500o000,00 less than in the year 1948, This loss relates chiefly to eight Provinces in the Dominion for Quebec and Prince Edward island do not permit the sale of margarine and Newfoundland has never produc- ed any sizable quantity of dairy pro- ducts. The speaker then touched on the reported high price of dairy products. "High prices do exist in other eo.a. =dales, both food and manufactured articles, and they cause hardship, but dairy products are expected by the public to he sold at levels lower than those of other commodities." It is apparent that unsatis,:actury prices in the dairy industry have driven Canada from a surplus pro- ducing nation to an importing one. Butter, cheese and powdered milk has been imported into Canada during the last year. This places us in a vulner- able position if we become involved in another world war, Our supply of substitute and imported products will be cut off Lind "our home production will not be adequate to feed our, pehple, paring the last War we sup. Plied large quantities of food :to.: our allies, What have we te. ,Offer today in the line of food supplies except wheat' We have Imported butter at .504 cents per pound while our own producers were asked to produce .At 53 cents per pound, We have imported cheese at 34e per pound when our own producers had their chesee re- quisitioned at 28 cents per pound. We have members of parliament who are willing to stand up and de- fend our dairy industry in the ITouse of Parliament. What are we doing to defend ourselves? Not only are we permitting ourselves to be pushed out of business, we are placing our Nation in danger by letting her supply of home produced feed decline. n an area ravaged by war the only thing that really matters is: that you have FOOD, Clothing and can find shelter from the weather, A lot of the things that are essentials today will be useless in a time of national disaster, Open or Glazed Sash & Prefit Window Units MADE TO ORDER Quality Always spare yourself the pain of "shopping around" for a Monument to honour your loved one.
