Dairy Industry Enjoying
Strong Sales Position
J. M. Hartwick, president,
told the 400 delegates attend-
ing the annual convention of
the National Dairy Counotl of
Canada at Murray Bay, Que.
that Canada's dairy industry "is
enjoying the strongest sales
position in many years". Ile
said that "on the average, eve-
ry day of the year, Canadians
are purchasing one million
pounds of butter, five million
quarts of fluid milk products,
one million pints of ice cream,
about one-half million pounds
of cheese and 800, 000 cans of
evaporated milk." 1964 sales
of creamery butter, fluid milk,
ice cream and process cheese
are all showing gains substan-
tially in excess of population
growth.
Referring to the dramatic
changes in the fortunes of the
industry, the result of a four-
year levelling off in milk pro-
duction and higher domestic
consumption of most dairy pro-
ducts, Mr. Hartwick said that
" This year in Canada we will
not produce sufficient milk to
meet domestic and export de-
mands for dairy products", and
that "by the beginning of the
new dairy year, all surplus
stocks will have been depleted
and we will have only suffic-
ient stocks on hand to meet
immediate pipeline require-
ments".
Mr. Hartwick said that" The
strong sales growth being ex-
perienced by the products of
our industry indicates that con-
sumers continue to regard dairy
foods as their 'best food buy—,
Mr. Hartwick said that one
of the„basic questions to be stu-
died by the industry, at this
time, should be "Do surplusses
make price support necessary,
or, conversely, do price sup-
ports make surplusses?” He
said that it can not be denied
that intervention in the market
inevitably results in an artifi-
cial price structure which does
not always reflect the factors of
supply olid demand. Further-
more, for one reason or anoth-
er, such intervention has a
tendency to introduce rigidity
into the price structure and the
lack of sufficient flexibility
does not permit of the adjust-
ments required to influence
production and consumption
trends before serious distortions
occur.

1st by His Excellency Sultan
Mohammed Khan of Pakistan
and R. T. Bolton, chairman
and K.A. Standing, secretary -
manager of the marketing board.
In announcing the large sale,
Mr. Standing said that accord-
ing to His Excellency, this is
the first Ontario Winter wheat
ever to be shipped to Pakistan.
Mr. Standing said the wheat
will be taken out of 1964 stocks
owned by the Ontario Wheat
Producers' Marketing Board
which at September I are the
largest volume the board has
ever bought in one year. Over
4, 200, 000 bushels have been
purchased by the board since
harvest began in July. The to-
tal for last year was 3,456,000
bushels which was all sold on
the export market.
Mr. Standing said the sale
for Pakistan delivery is the
largest single sale -made by the.
board out of the 1964 stocks,
He disclosed that several small
lot sales have been made to
the United Kingdom and Bel-
gium. These sales amount to
392, 000 bushels which bring
total sales to date up to 1,213, -
300 bushels or 28.5% of board
purchases as of September lst.
Overseas interest in the past
month has been brisk in com-
parison to previous years, Mr.
Standing said, with several in-
quiries from export brokers.
The board would like to see
this interest continue.
" The Pakistan sale, in par-
ticular, is of great benefit to
the board and producers in that
it came at a time when the
board owned the biggest vol-
ume of surplus wheat -in its sev-
en year history."

time farmers on Canada's ec-
onomy. "Farmers in Transi-
