Doug O'Brien singled, Yungblut was intention- ally passed, and Ron Deichert came through with his second single of the game.

He indicates that the export of burdensome surpluses is desir- abl.e. "On the other hand the desirability of converting as Much grain as possible into live- stock,' for which there- are" po- tential, profitable markets, is self-evident." I can agree with the first part of the statement on the desir- ability of converting our grain into livestock but only if it pro- vides the producer with a profit- able income. The hungry millions certainly prove that there is a potential market but there is a big ques- tion on the `profitable" part of the statement. It is rumored that the Meat Packers council at present have a representative in Britain at- tempting to develop a market er safety.

Yes, to the proc- essor who operates on a cost `.i i 'plus bass` of volume of busin- ess. Price has little significan- •ce. But at 'present costs of the means 'of production it would certainly not be profitable to the'' 'producer. .The , writer summed up his statement "It is hoped that en- thusiasm for exporting grain will not divert attention :from building mp a sound and prof- itable livestock industry." A little over a year ago when there were so many hogs going to market we heard on all sides "It's too bad' hog prices are so low but the farmers can only blame themselves. If only they would• control production, like the 'rest of us, they could have a good price:" (and the privilege of being unemployed). dren; 22 great-grandchildren; and a number of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by four brothers and five sisters. Mr. Birk was an uncle to Mrs. Theodore Rader, Mrs. Milne Rader, and H. W. Brokenshire, of Zurich, as well as Leonard Birk, of Guelph. Now when the weather man, not the farmer, has taken a hand in limiting production there is pressure being exerted to curtail the export sales of grain. The livestockindustry is pro- fitable as is indicated in the financial statement of one of our packing companies which. seems to indicate that 23 exec- utives and directors were paid. an average of $16,700 last year.
