Ontario Federation Sees Lack 'of Data
About Price Spread; Need Research
In the samve brief the. OFA sug-
gesteed that the middleman had
done mvu'dh to widen and deepen
the (Marrikret for flood products
through .advertising and nosing oth-
er means to whet the consumers'
appetite. The OFA lblrarned inef-
ficiency in same cases, and the
extra ,cast of whetting the consu-
mers' appetite as reasons for wide
margins.
The brief painted out that farm
co-operatives and producer mark
eting boards have helped to mar-
row margins t"hirauigth reducing the
mliddleeman'as share of the consum-
er
onsumer dollar. At the same time, qual-
ity of product has !been improved
in many instances Without a great
increase in, retail !mice.
ripe brief also !painted out that
large food chains math their hori-
zontal integration may one duty
reduce the number of cam ipeting
firms to a point where rbh'e search
for greater efficiency within the
organization may be reduced. As
a means. of offsetting this event-
uality, the. OFA commends the
federal ,governments,' proposal of
making credit available to improve
the elfiftciency .of small !businesses.
As these smaller businesses be-
come more efficient it is, almost
certain that the total food rnark-
etifng bill Will decline.
"Published information (on price
spreads) is not merely scanty; it
makes na claim to be ;more than
relatively 'accurate," said Lloyd
Jasper, pastypres!idlenit of the Ont-
ario Federation of Agriculture,
speaking to the Commission an
Prie;e Slpreads meeting in Toronto
this week. Beyond question, the
ultimate answer will be found
through !intensive research . . ,"
l.V1r. Jasper Outlined the OVA
stand to the :Commission in thhe
absence of 'Gorrdian Greer, presu---
k;aen't, who is overseas at present.
The OFA brief stressed that clack
of statistics on all phases, of mark-
eting such as 4ariansiportaitaon, ef-
fects of credit extension, mverch-
andiise exdhange, . special pa'ekag-
ing, bonuses, draw's, gift stamps,
hindered the produlcer groups in
presenting a clear-cut case on
price • :spreads. There were suffi-
cient examples of wide margins
between producer prices. and retail
prices to warrant a careful staidly.
"The 'producer is convinced that
the spread is sufficiently wide do
justify a higher producer return,
and ipossrilhiy in some instances,
a lower eJonsu(rner price," said Mr.
Jasper, with particular reFeremee
to concentrated milk sold in the
province. He presented figures to
show that a price spread of $4.42
exxistedl, on a 48 -tali case of evap-
ar d whole milk, and a pricespud-of $3.74 existed on a 48 -thin
case of evaporated skinnmedi milk
with two percent butter fat.
The interesting point is' that but-
terfat is remiaved lin the skimmed
milk in an amount approximately
equal to ounses for. each 48 -,tin
case. This quantity has a value of
about $2.18 rif sold as butter, and
when this ss, added to the price
spread of $3.74, the total spread
is $5.92. Mr. Jasper said that pro-
ducers would like toofo know
who
by this "nugget
butterfat".

"How an 1
Self-feeding of
Chopped Silage
For Beef COWS
Self-feeding of . chopped silage
to beef caws its practical under
three oanditions:
1. Animals must have .acceSSI to
Quay at all times.:
2. rSilos must be properly built.
3. Feeding operations must be
well. managed.
This ob'servatioin is based on
results, at the Lennoxvdi le Exper-
imental ental Farm where some 50 beef
cow's were self -fed succcesisfw1'1y am
a 20 -foot wide horizontal silo dur-
ing the last four wintering periods..
Little work was required to
manage the smla. This involved:
rem,aving the cover wdiaCh con-
sisted of law quality roorfing paw¢''
and two rows of straw ball;
slicing the upper layer rwbmiich was
onzt of reach of the cows; moving
•the gate; adjusting the tarpaulin,
over the gate and surface of the
silo to avoid freezing.
Unchopped grass silage harves-
ted at the latter stage of maturity'
was 'self -fed only during one win-
ter.
The trial was unsuccessful..
Cows made pockets in the silage
and 'stopped eating it when cold
weather set in in January. Later
the frozen silage was loosened but
the cows ate only small quantities
of it.
