water marketing etc it is perhaps fool hardy to single out any speaker for special mention rbtttthsf a r as wo fioiiumbatfier the highlights were thp addresses or dr l l harrod u s soil conservation service at coshocton ohio who spoke on water and soils in agriculture w ivwalson ontario livestock com missioner who took ns his topic the agricultural outlook for 1051 and the- rl hon james g gavd- iner minister of agriculture for canada- who was the- guest speaker at- the annual banquet wc cannot hope to deal with all three addresses in this weeks col- umn and it has occurred to us that a fw of the highlights of w p watsons- address would be of in terest incidentally mr watson ha rained in former years an enviable reputation as an accurate prognos- tlcator of the agrioulturnl outlook keeping hi mind the present inter- nationalsttunttnn mr watson stat ed there is no reason for pess imism in the economic front he pointed out that the government on this continent are spending as tronomical- sums of money for de- fence purposes this can have only one result and that is of an inflat ionary nature but he stated if higher prices are the only sacrifice we have to make we arc getting off very lightly in the past decade great britain hasbeen our greatest market furthermore the buying power in great britain has been bolstered by marshall aid but there is to be no marshall aid to great britain in 1051 and very lit tle to europe we cannot stated mr watson look to w europe for a market for surpluses it was also pointed out that in 1950 over 50 pet cent of our exports in dollar value were to us in contrast to one third in previous years in short our economy is now linked more closely with that of u st than over before there is today full employment in us and can ada and only a limited amount of labour will be available in 1051 supplies of feed grain in canada are larrer today than at any time since 1dm the greatest factor in price of grain is the price of grain in us all western- feed grain is channeled through canadian gram board there- is little reason for believing that grain prices will be any lower at least until spring when navigation o in referring to livestock mr watson painted out that the price of beef cattle is close to an all time high due largely to the fact that our beef cattle population on this continent in recent years has not kept pace with the increase in human population in his- opinion consumers can look forward to paying a high price for beef in 1051 in 1950 we consumed 50 mil lion jmunds less beef but consumed 75 nullum more pounds pork mfl witon dnesjint anticipate that the removing of the embargo again v s pork will materially affect th price of canadian hogs nor does he thirk canada will produce more hogs ti 1p51 than wan done in 1050 mr watinn in referring to the dairy situation stated that threat nfwar may cause a switch from ehetse production to the pro- riitctin nf canned milk the most timki tuttiimi in the livestock field i- ur sheep ttnlay less than 300 000 hid in ontario and it wa pointed out that wool in new zea- lmd had recently hit one sterling per pound andh 00 per pound in v s sheep men can keep all- ewe lamb over the- next five years- there is no danger of over pro duction the bad news i have for foil stated mr watson pertains to labour the supply of farm ma chinery m likely to be less due to supply of available steel and avail able hydro electric tower mi- vation conchjhed his address by stating if you handle more of that gryen tuff the more of it wilt tick aini further from th- standpoint of efficiency we must be thinking in terms of ctwt of pro duction rather than price because as i ee it we are more likely to have ceiling prices than 1owr prices j incidentally mr watson is to be the
