convention j e w the highlight of the day and a half we spent at the 1956 ontario soil and crop four day convention was in our opinion the address by w p watson ontario s livestock commissioner as usual mr watson spoke on the ag neultural outlook for 1956 here is a digest of mr watsons outstanding address in 1055 canadians exported more imported more produced more con sumed more earned more spent moie and saved more than in any previous year although all classes of soeiety shared in this record per formance they did not share equally in the rewards derived therefrom the total amount received from the sale of farm products was slightly higher in 1055 than in 1954 but the net farm income was lower because costs whieh have been steadily rising since 1951 reached a new peak last year with few exceptions prices of farm products were about the same as dur tng the previous year exports of wheat cattle beef pork and cheese were lower in fact with the exception of wheat mounted to a very small percentage of the total production of these products thus tht greater part of canada s revenue from exports was derived from such non farm products as basemetals lumber chemicals ir on ore and newsprint this decline in the export of agricultural products is a natural consequence to the ex pansion which has taken place in can ada during the postwar years in 1045 this country had a population of 12 1 million people 10 years jatcr the population has increased to 15 6 mil lion an increase of 30 per cent dm inr the sjme decade there mi- no significint change in the number of eatlle

pub lie w rks the most notable one heme the st i awrenee s iwi ire under construction in this period of inter natioml tension there is a keen de mind for cinadi s nickel copper ur inium and iron ore while exports of lumber and newsprint appear likely to continue at a hith rate with can ada s labour force fully employed at hifh wales live stock produeers cm expect a strong domestic demand for their products however the actual strength of that market will depend upon the answer to the following question will the demand be great enough to absorb all that is produced an analysis of production prospects should provide a clue to the nnswer cattle according to present pros pects cattle marketings will be high er in 1956 than in 1955 that forecast is predicated on the knowledge that the cattle population is higher and that more cattle were purchased for further feeding canadians could ab sorb these extra cattle if other classes of meat were in normal or below nor mal supply however all indications point to the fact that beef will receive plenty of competition for the consum ers dollar from other classes of meat particularly pork hogs recent surveys indicate that there was an increase of 13 per cent in the number of sows which far rowed between june 1st and nov 30 1955 over the same period in the pre vious year these pigs should be mar ketcd between december 1 1955 and may 31st 1956 marketings are there fore likely to average 120 000 per week during these months in mr watson s opinion it is reasonable to assume that marketings will be at least normal during the last half of the year and that marketings for the 12 months will exceed those of 1955 dairy products although the hu man population has increased by 30 per cent in the past ten years milk production has only increased by two per cent however there has been a significant switch in the form in which milk is marketed fluid milk consuptntion has registered a substan tial increase and accounts for over 30 per cent of the total the con st ruction of new towns in our hintcr lands has opened up new niarkcts for processed milk consumption of but tcr has remained fairly constant ab out 310 million pounds per year as a result of these adjustments less milk has been available for cheese the production of which has declined to about 80 million pounds per year a very small quantity when compared with wartime production domestic consumption of cheese per capita has increased materially hence practic ally all of our production is now be ing consumed at home prices 1 respects all indications point to the tact that the 1956 meat supply will be in excess of the needs for our normal requirements conse quently prices for livestock will ap proximate those prevailing in the uni ted states or in the case of bogs the floor price if it is higher than the american price fiawilin and amer icans are nmmmtf son god mgn meat due to this remarkable increase in consumption there are no embar rassing surpluses of meat in storage consequently prices should strength en as soon as supplies begin to ease off a situation that is bound to develop sometime in 1956 and now for a final word about the dairy situation the support price policy for butter is subject to review annually the present arrangement ex pirlng on april 30th inasmuch as the government has not announced its intentions no one can predict the price of any dairy product with any degree of accuracy produeers should bear in mind that canada may be an expensive country in which to produce dairy products but the price of dairy products is higher in canada than in any other country in the world with tho poa siblc exception of the united states prices cannot go much higher with out incurring the risks of imports even if the support price is maintain ed at the present level producers have a responsibility to do everything within their power to promote an in crease in consumption in other words the government should not be expected to carry the whole load mr watson concluded his address by suggesting that we make 1956 a do it yourself year in agriculture what is it milk births sstih increase peel memorial hospital if the first month of the year may be taken as a sound criterion the re cord of 1167 births in 1955 at peel memorial hospital is going to be shattered in the current year in january the report shows a total of 91
