yards of canada literally de luged with hogs hog producers from coast to coast were making a real effort to get their hogs on the market before the 23 cent floor went into effect on january 1st whole milk shippers find their markets in a similar surplus position over the holiday season a large percentage of halton shippers re celved instruction from their re spectlve distributors to hold back their shipments from two to five days four of the larger toronto dairies recently advised those who had not been shipping at least 200 lbs daily during the past three months that their product would not be required after january 1st just last week eight local ship pers representing some 32 cans of milk per day were advfsed by their dairy that their milk would not be accepted after january 31st all this adds up to lack of mark ets needless to add the us cm bargo has played an important part in creating that condition to the best of our knowledge it is the first time since confederation that cana da s agricultural produc s have been shut out of great britain and united states both at the same time it is indeed fortunate lor canada that our domestic markets have expanded tremendously in the past ten years otherwise ihe lack o export mirkcls would rme hompson itself manifest cirlier in the year and even more senouslj immediate prospects not bright the prospects for any improve menl ire far from bright for the earh part of 1953 at leist certainh the removal of the us embargo on march 1st should be beneficial not onlv to the da rjman but to some degree it leait should help the hog producer ind steer feeder it is questionable if prices will strengthen materially since amen can prices for some of our com modities are lower than our own however it should result in the on tano dairymen being able to dispose of some of our surplus cows and heifers all of wh ch should help to relieve domestic milk markets it should also result in some of oct heavier steers going across the bor dcr also some of our better quality bacon cuts going to the same mark et person illy ve do not anticipate anv immediati improvement in pnets but at least the removal of th embarg6 should ease our present glutted markets our prices are too high that may sound like heresay to some of our farmer friends never theless it is true in so far as export markets overseas are concerned in short our standard of living on this continent has resulted in pricing oursetves out of the export market that despite the fact that the on tano farmer has been operating on a very narrow margin for some time the 40 hour week with high wag es per hour in industry has ihcreas ed agricultural cost of production to the point where irrespective of the pound sterling dollar impasse we cant compete with other world producers this was made very clear at ottawa recently by mr ful ford the member for leeds county as reported in hansard mr ful ford presented comparative prices for some five agricultural commodi ties carcass beef in new zealand sells at 14c in argentina at 18 7c with the canadian price at 44c but tor in denmark is 40 7c 37 8c in aus tralia and new zealand and the canadian price 62c passing on tc cheese the new zealand and aus tralian price 21 2c against 32c per pound in canada in eggs the prices given by mr fulford v ere as follows denmark 46c australia 52c ireland 54c md canada 61c finally comin to bacn and we presume hi ring to wiltshires 30 2c per lb wis the price in denmark and holland against 36c in canada these prices iriay in some enscs have chinged material in the pist few weeks in fact on reliable minority we are informed thil thi dutch ind dinish pi ice of bacon has dropped 10 shillings per cv t since that time that should be fairly good evi dence to substantiate our statement that we hac priced ourselves out of the export markel the high wages in industrial centres has in the main been responsible for our high cost of production of agricultural pro ducts it would seem that it imy now be boomeranging on industry the recent lay off by two of our larger farm mplement manufac turers is no doubt larely due to their inability ujnorket their products pr to pfloflwir mother way the in abilil of the farmer to buy agncul turn i machinery at present prices leaders of labour unions would in our opinif n do well to remember the fible of the man who killed the goose which laid the goldci egg however wo would not like o close this article without a little brighter note from a long lime viewpoint we are confident of bet days for the agricultural pro ductr it should not be necessary to remind our renders that in 1951 production of dairy products was just about equal to our con mption consequently once the u s embargo is removed it should not be too long before we are back in the same position in fact many of our leaders feel there is need for increased production of dairy pro due to the rapid population in crease un this continent some econo mists go so far as to suggest that by 1960 we will require a 100 per cent increase in dairy products in short it may be that before too long this continent will require all her agricultural products to feed her own population salada teacoffce iuilv 1m pollock and campbell manufacturer of high grade memorials memorial engraving 62 water st north gait telephone zms 1t s hard
