Almost every- one seemed to shiver in the penctra- ting blast which blew from the east. Even motor cars were affected by the extremity of the weather and 1t was no uncommon sight today to see automobile double-headers, éne car pushnig another, It was a safe guess that the engine of the car in front had stalled on account of the freez- ing temperature and even self start- ers were unavailing in their efforts to get a "kick" out of the cylinders. Some say that the temperature went as low as ten degrees below zero and fhat is cold at any time es- pecially with a high wind raging down from the cast.

Oshawa, Feb. 5, 1930. AGRICULTURAL SUGGESTIONS To the Editor of The Oshawa Times: Being one of those farmers who had the pleasure of attending the Chamber of Commerce banquet and had a very enjoyable time and also heard a great many subjects discuss- ed in a very able way by the pre- sident of the Chamber of Commerce, and also by the Canadian represen- tative of agriculture in Great Bri- tain. One thing I must say, I was a little disappointed over and that was in regards to the marketing of beef cattle. As everybody knows, Canada produces a large surplus of beef cat- tle, finished and unfinished, and of late years has been enjoying a very good outlet for them at paying pric- es in the American market some be- ing shipped as beef cattle, others known as stockers and feeders, also a large quantity of our dairy cows and heifers which' have been bought by American buyers for their own | 1929, then strike an average price for dairy business, large | quantity of our best meats | have been finding a market across the | {line. But does it not appear to many | | i also quite a dressed people as there is a grave danger of { losing this ket 4s there is at the | persent time agitation in the | { United States for a much higher tar-| | iff on those products which might be [L very serious for the Canadian pro- | ducer. : Now I have been thinking and still think Megnight be possible for our rovernment of Canada to establish an abattoir or killing plant at the ast, where our finished stock ¢ ree be shipped alive and slaughter- ed and dressed for export to the | British market, Why I mention the | sea coast as the place for slaughter- ing is that you could place your goods on the British market in such a short time after being slaughtered, {which I think would be to a great advantage, as the goods should land on the British market in good con- | dition and give a better appearance. | Now, we do know that there are many foreign countries supplying the British market with dressed meats chilled and frozen which I understand demands a much lower price than meats fresh killed. Now sir, it does seem to me that this proposition might be well worth considering. For instance our government could get a list of prices on the different lines of meats sold on the British market cach and every week say in i | the year, It could also get some idea | of the cost of a killing plant for said purpose, also what price the produc- er would require in order to give him a living profit on the goods he pro- duces and by so doing it would be quite possible to figure out as. to whether it would be beneficial to the public or not, Yours truly, SE BASTIAN CONLIN, Oshawa, Ont., RR.
