Res. 357-1171 Bus. 357-1102 farmers decided feed grains were too expensive to feed through their livestock at a profit. If that happened, there could be a short- termr surplus of Meat and poultry as they cut back their herds and flocks, but any lower prices would be short lived because a cutback by farmers now would lead to shorter supplies in the future," he said. The Livestock Feed Board, however, doesn't expect to see many farmers dumping livestock on the market. "We do anticipate a moderate reduction in livestock numbers across Canada this fall, and a fairly substantial decline of beef cattle in Ontario and western feedlots," Mr. Perreault said. "But in general, people may tend to reduce feeding rates, and use substitutes rather than en- gage in reduction of their herds and flocks. Certainly most ex- pansion plans will likely be defer- red until prospects improve." quantities of western wbea available for livestock feed thi winter. Some wheat crops hit b early frosts will likely be down graded from milling quality t feed grades. y` Feed grain production i eastern Canada is comparable to, or better than, last year's crop The three prairie province account for the bulk of Canadian grown feed wheat, barley an oats and their supplies have greater impact on domestic feed grain prices than does easter production, but the eastern crops are important too, especially i Ontario as a local supply for live stock feeders. However, the main influence on the price of Canadian fee grains are the prig of U.S. cor and the world demand for feed grains. Canada exports between 10 and 15 per cent of its feed grain crop with prices following the trend setting of U.S. corn. Canadian prices for domestic feed grains also follow the lead of U.S. corn because our livestock farmers will import U.S. corn if Canadian grain prices are not competitive This year's American corn crop ,yras delayed by too much rain at planting time, then suf fered from a summer drought in the midwestern states. Last week the U.S. department of agriculture forecast their corn crop at a little under 5 billion bushels — well below the 6.7 billion bushel bumper crop hoped for at' planting time. Adding to the tight supply situation is a drop in'" the carry-over of U.S. corn supplies of about 500 million bushels. In total, U.S. corn supplies are expected. to -be 1.2 billion bushels less than last year. Corn acreags were up this year in Ontario and Quebec. However, the crop has not yet fully matured and therefore yields may not meet predicted highs. "Our only concern now, apart from the general high level of feed grain prices, is grain hand- ling. We have been monitoring supplies and movements closely to ensure that adequate supplies will be available," Mr. Perreault said. "The system will have to oPeratesmootblyironvnovo to the end of the Great Lakes navigation season to get enough domestic feed grain into position for normal movement during the winter months. "Otherwise, eastern Canadian farmers may have to pay the extra cost for moving more grain than usual by rail and there could be shortages of some grains in certain areas if there are further delays and 'interruptions in the movement." 1'" The positioning of western feed_ grains in eastern Canada has been disrupted by the strike of the Merchant Service Guild and the Canadian Marine Officers Union on the Great Lakes. The Canadian Livestock .Feed Board is a Crown corporation which reports to the Canadian government through Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan. The Board was set up in 1967 to ensure the availability of feed grain in eastern Canada and British Columbia and to ensure reasonably stable and equal feed grain prices within the British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic province markets. The reduction in livestock numbers will slightly weaken the demand for feed grains in Canada, but because of the strong world demand and lower crop yields in some areas, the cost of feed ,grains will not be reduced for some time. Feed grain prices in Canada are now at an all-time high. The feed grain index, which stood at 102 in 1972, and 155 in 1973, rose to 225 at the end of .June, 1974. By comparison, the consumer price index has risen far less: 139.0 in 1972; 150.4 in 1973, and 166.7 at the end of June this year. The present price of feed grains reflects a strong world demand and tight world supplies. • In Canada, . prairie yields of oats and barley are expected to be down from last year. Statistics Canada is forecasting a 232 million bushel crop of oats, compared with 273 million bushels last year. Western barley predictions are for 403 million bushels, while 1173's barley crop in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta was 444 million bushels.

Coho fish await many Ont. anglers A game of skill called "Catch- a-Coho" is being played by hundreds of Ontario anglers, intrigued by the challenge tossed at them when 250,000 coho smelt were stocked in the Toronto area by the Ministry of Natural Resources a year ago last spring. Gerry Haarmeyer, Maple District's fish and wildlife super- visor, said that the best place to catch these beautiful fish is Lake Ontario, zeroing in at the Port Credit Harbor by the Credit River's mouth. The fish are preparing to spawn. .For the many anglers whose favorite spot has been the vicinity of Streetsville, the Mc- Carthy Mill dam has been washed out and now the fish can go farther upstream. The Reid Mill dam may be altered to permit fish past it and the Hydro ilam was 'also washed out this spring. The Hydro dam is being repaired but even so, an extra half mile of river has been added to the coho fishery.

Indian members of the Native People's Caravan, a motorcade which originated in British Columbia and gathered momen- , tum all across Canada, sought to enter the buildings when the ceremonies were in progress. Their trip across the country had been marked by a total absence of violence. Reporters in Ottawa estimate that thenative people were joined by more than twice their ninnber from the Communist Party of Canada who took advantage of the. situation *to stir up agitation. When the RCMP on guard duty at the buildings were unable to control the crowd they were aided by the. riot squad and eventually by the First -Battalion, RCR, who were on hand as an honor guard for . the occasion. Several small fires were started. and several arrests were made.
