Bacon Board •df Canada
The Editor, The Brussels Post;
Dear h''; Two weeks ago d liaten-
ed on the reale to a speech by rile
Hon. Mr, Taggart of Clinton eSx-
plaining, or perhaps, trying to ex
plain the reason for the reduction.
of ,hog prices. ea the farmer in
Canada. He explained that the
Dominion Government :catered into
a contract with the British Govern -
met to supply thewith five million
six hundred thoasatid pounds of
pork perweek at the seaboard, for a
price of 18 cents per 'pound, He
told 'his audience that there was a
surplus of pork at the seaboard and
this was the cause of a reductionin
price to the. fanner,
When Germany invaded Denmark,
the Bacon .'board decided to take
mere pork, as the British Gobern-
meet would be deprived of the Dan-
ish pork, but in face of that, to my
surprise, the next week the price of
hogs went down again.
Mr. Taggart stated that 105,000
hogs had been marketed one week
at one dollar pet• hag less than regu-
lation price. This- was a loss si
$105,000:00 to, the farmer and eh
additional ,profit of $105,000 to the
packers, Another week 80,000
hogs and so on, until to date the
Packers have additional profits of
almost half a million dollars, and
what the farmers. have lost the
packers gain. This half .mdilion
dollars would have paid from two
to live million dollars of debt for
the farmers, if it had been circular
ed among. them, with which to. do
business.
What are we paying a Bacon
What are we farmers going to to?
Board
for, end who dictated Mr. Taggart's
speech, the :former or the packer?
Mr. Taggart told his hearers that
U. S. pork was coming to CCanedo
but dill not say Canadian pork was
going to the U. S. Last July when
the packers were paying the farmer
an overage of 11 cents per pound,
dressed, bacon was selling in Bri-
tain tor 20 cents a pound wholesale,
and at the same time Canadian
bacon was selling in New York at
55 cents a pound retail.
The Dominion Government should
have Mr. ,:Stevens on the Bacon
Board as he was on the committee
that investigated the Canada Pack-
ers under :Mr. Bennett, and made
Mr. lifeLean, of Canada Packers,
admit on oath that his •company
shelved' only third and fourth grade
of bacon to Britain and that those
grades fixed the price of hogs to
he farmer, , Mr', Bennett disap
proved of Mr. Stevens making this
public.
In 1938 Mr, Stevens again brought
Parliament's attention to the• fact
that the bacon stripped to Britain
was thirr an fourth grade, also that
a shipment of laurbs• from the West
totalling 800, of which small buyers
would buy 200 of these hut Canada
Patkers• would not buy any if they
sed not get the whole 800. They
would buy the 800 at 87.00 and sell
to the small man for 82.00, which
they were willing to pay in the first
place: On the 200 lambs the Canada
Packers world make 8200,00, also
$600.00 on the other 600 lambs., This
was a loss to the Western farmer cf

Su,rely this will' show why farmers
are complaining. This should have
all been settled before the last elec-
tion, but the electors' who at that
time thought of nothing but war,
now have erre to thins of their own
business, We still eau appeal to

COMMON HOUSEFLY
DISEASE CARRIER
Until very recent years the house-
fly was regarded merely as a Pest
but of no serious importance. It is
now known however, that the house-
fly carries many serious, diseases
such as typhoid/ infantile diarrhoea
(summer complaint), cholera, dye -
entry; leprosy, various dangerous
eye diseases (tytpe& of ophthlmdo,
trachoma) and tuberculosis, besides
carrying the eggs. of certain tape
worms, says Dr. Arthur Gibson,
Dominion Entomologist, Dominion•
Department of Agrlealture.
The housefly can lay numbers of
•eggs, probably averaging one
thousand, 'which hatch in a, few
hours. Development is rapid and
in warm weather a new generation
of files may be produced every• ten
or twelve days. It will thus be
seen that it isf of the utmost import-
ance to kill houseflies early in the
season.
One of the chief dangers, from
Ries lies in the varied food habits.
Not only do they feed on all kinds
of frith, but will alight on most os-
the
�the foods laid out on the table for a
meal, contaminating everything
they touch,
To control this dangerous pest, fly
traps', door and window screens, fly
swattrls•, sticky papers, poisoned
baits and fly sprays are used, Au
effective and sate halt is made by
adding a teaspoon of formalin to 0
pint of water or dilute milk in a
saucer. It should be placed out of
reach of children. Fly sprays made
of 3f pound of flowers of pyrethrum
to a gallon of kerosene are effective.
The best control of houseflies. is
by eliminating their breeding plac-
es. The most important of these
are manure pipes and garbage cane -
Manure storage should be so eon-
str'ucted as to discourage breeding I
and the pile treated with borax
solution. Garbage should be stor-
ed in fly -proof containers until dis-
posed. 'Community action is es-
sential id the. fly population in any
district is to be sharply reduced.
Sales Tax Increase
.According to 1U1ormatien eomd
to The Post, It is being mooted
official circles that there ie even
probability 01 an increase in th
sales tax from the present mate
Fk'
8 per cent to 12 per cent. Thex
Poet cannot vouch tor the probab
ity, and is only reporting the pro.'
able Increase as: a view of estrai1Ly
well-informed sources.
