BEEF PRODUCERS MET IN OWEN SOUND RICHARDS FIRM OPENS Scotch Wife Of Ceylon ELECTRICAL STORE Soldier Arrives In Canada The beef producers of five counties met in Owen Sound on Thursday last and were in conference with govern- ment officials, J- C. McTaggart. chair- man of the Meat Board, and Mr- Pearsol, manager of the Meat Board. The purpose of the meeting was to thresh out, as far as possible- the price grievances of the farmers. A brief was presented requesting information and reasons for certain unsatisfactory conditions in the mindfe ' of beef producers, chiefly those who buy and feed for profit. A concrete statement was presented, showing how, on a l.OOO pound bullock, bought at 10^ cents, fed with a gain of 200 poundfe at 10^ cents, produced a loss to the feeder of |51.00- A lively dis- cussion ensued, Mr- Mcaggart strong' ly supporting the actions of the Board, considered is existing reasonte and its relationship to other com- modities and dealt with certain con- tracts with other countries. The pur- pose of the Board, organized in 1939. was to ensure equality of distribu- tion and sell under contract, governed by a price oversight, to see as far as possible that all received their right share of proceeds, accomplished the grading of hogs and red and blue beef. Mr. McTaggart held that prices were the highest in Canadian history and that the government never en- couraged the production of more beef - The policy of price support clearly was to prevent deflation as in 1920 and 193<). sad experiences for the farmer- Price control of feeder cattle w«s a definite concern which must be left with the feeder buyer. Something not wanted. In the evening- some 260 people met to hear Mt. McTaggart's address regarding the work of the Meat Board and its relationship to other departments of the government, its aim and general proficiency. All were fully conivinced in Mr- McTag- gart's ability to handle the depart- ment of Meat Board supei-viSion. A resolution was passed requesting a set price of $25-00 for blue and $23.00 for red beef. Chicken Market Age The oge at which chickens are markettd has a direct bearing on the quality of the carcass and on the amount of feed required to produce a pound of meat, Leonard Griesbach, Dominion Experimental Station at Frederickton, N.B., point out- Chick- ens will not fatten when they are growing rapidly, so they should be practically full grown when moved to the fattening pens- Usually this would be about six months of age for the heavy breeds- Such as Bar- red Rocks, ibut it is not protitable to sep them long after they are full grown because the amount of feed required to produce a pound of gain increases with age. and the quality of the carcass is highest shortly \fter maturity.
