fp vp crpri tht shower of taut wk wer gratefully rclvd in all vactloni of ha hon dplle the current prlcea of agricultural products every rural face wore a smile after hut thura- day morning howr true the county as d whole will ned fre quent showers like that of last week if we are tn harvettt a bumper crop frosts have stunted the timo thy in some areas hut without ex ception crop prospects in the mixed farming areas of the county are a lot more promising than they were when we were writing our column n week ago speaking of agricultural price th i re isnt too much wrong with them when one looks back even four or five years in our opinion the would be little or no kick from agricultural producers if the cost of feed fertilizers farm mach inery farm labour in fact practi cally everything which the farm operator has to buy would act ac cordingly in relation to world prices our prices in canada are still high which ndds to the diffi culty in sicuring markets for mr urpluses however as conditions exist with feeds fertilizers and other purchased commodities at last years figures and in some cases higher canadian farmers an err tainly caught in the squeeze that this is already reacting on their buying power is indicated by tin drop in sales by local merchants while we do not pose as an econo mist we cant help but feel that an other 12 months may present on entirely different picture after all one can get out of hogs and poultry very rapidly and judging by reports there are a lot of sows going to market which under nor mal conditions would have been kept for breeding puroscs it does not take very much of a surplus to get us into difficulties and on the other hand neither does it take- much of a shortage to turn the scale in the other direction while it may be wishful thinking some of our authorities still feel there are possibilities of the u s embargo being lifted sometime this fall if it does materialize the pic ture could change rather rapidly certainly the eastern states want our dairy cattle the us could utilize quite a quantity of our beef in the meantime it would appear to us that halton farmers would be well advised to carry on a balanced program in other words this is no time to get panicky neither is it time to be unduly optimistic cull hoarders last week we suggested that this should be a good time to replace some of our boarder dairy cattle with some well bred typo in calf heifers that we have some board ers even in halton is substantiated by some figures which came to our attention today in our three dairy herd improvement groups in hal ton there are 78 herds enrolled these represent better than average herds in halton yet we find even in these herds that 32 failed to qualify the standards set for qualification in our opinion arc low here they are for the 305 day milking period 2yrarolda 200lbsbuttrrfatr 3 year olds 250 lbs butter fat a year olds 300 lbs butter fat mature 350 lbs butter fat halton dhia groups rate high in ontario and yet 32 failed to qualify what must the picture be over ontario more than ever we feci that it would be good business to send some of those boarders to the stock yards and replace with good fall freshening heifers such heifers of top blood lines can now be purchased for 100 per head less than a few months ago international live stocirkaw thu years winner
