the canadian weekly ilmrtpaper aaaoclauon and um ontarioquebec division of the owjfa the editors corner farm help in strong demand in a recent interview with agricultural repre sentative j e whitelock we were informed that lab our situation on halton farms is as critical at present as at any time during the previous war years contrary to the expectations of many the hay crop in halton is generally heavy the same holds true of the winter wheat and the earlier sown spring grain also promises well in view of the world shortage of food supplies the saving of these crops is absolutely essential the situation in halton has been temporarily relieved to some extent by western canada farm hands quite a large number of whom have been placed by the department office at milton toronto commandos are also being brought out as weather conditions permit and in accordance with the demand there still remains however stated mr whitelock many farmers in all sections of the county who are badly in need of assist ance if their vitally needed crops are to be saved in short the help of all able bodied urban dwellers of halton can be used to advantage whether it be for an odd halfday or part of the holiday period in a recent address george r pateraon com mercial attache to the canadian embassy at washing ton on his return from attending a world food confer ence in london eng stated that the world food supply position was not a happy picture such former occu pied countries such as greece are already on less than 900 calories diet which is a starvation rate of intake true canadian dwellers are still able to secure ample supplies of food but urban dwellers would do iwell to realize that they themselves will be the first to feel the gnawing pangs of hunger if the situation really becomes critical in canada in other words in our own interest as urban dwellers it behooves us to lend a hand when the wherever possible to save the crops v good intentions alone do not bring results action is needed at once so call up some of your farmer friends or the local commando headquarters and volun- ter your assistance for further information contact j e whitelock agricultural representative

their release from any designated industry by employment officers upon application halton farmers keep cost figures on hogs in 1944 five halton junior farmers in cooper ation with the local branch of the ontario department of agriculture each kept cost figures on a litter of hogs those cooperating in the project were as follows wm alexander georgetown glen campbell milton ross gordon rockwood claude picket and bruce reid both of georgetown district the period of marketing extended from december 1944 to april of this year it is interesting to note that after allowing 7 00 as the value of each weanling pig and after deducting all feed costs the five cooperators had an average of10 46 per pig left to cover labour interest on investment and pro fit on the average it took 3 66 lbs of meal and con centrate to produce i lb of live gain it is also inter- eating to note that the litter showing the greatest pro fit was fectskim milk in lieu of concentrate the skim milk being charged up at 30c per cwt another point of interest was the fact that the five litters averaged 65 4 percent at in contrast to 40 4 percent as for the county of halton in 1 944 and 28 3 per cent as for the dominion fci the experience and records of these five halton farmers go to substntiate the statement made by agri cultural representative j e whitelock at the halton bacon 5how last march that the percentage of as marketed from the county of halton could be auto matically increased 50 percent by simply marketing our hogs at the proper weights certainly with den mark ready to get back into the british market as re- ealed by geo r paterson commercial attache to the canadian embassy at washington it is essential that the federal and provincial governments and hog producers generally do more than simply some wish ful thinking if they are interested in retaining the bri tish bacon canada s record of 28 3 grade as wil certainly not hold that market nor will our lack of continuity of supply achieve that goal our federal and provincial governments must give a lead further more our hog producers must pay more attention to the requirements of the british market if canada is to retain a
