cent along with this incrcntp- tn numbers stated mr wsbxm quality has also lmprocd last year 40 per cent of our beef qualified for the two top grades in comparison with 20 per cent in 1051 this has largely been dono by improved feeding along with this he added the per tapili consumption has jumped from v lbs in 10m to between 7 and 70 lbs in 10m this means that h00 000 more cattle arc brim consumed than in the previous decade another trend staled mr wat son is the increase in numbers of feed lots in ontario and the wesl there are a lot of people in ont ario he added feeding any w here from 300 to 3000 head per year what is the future fur the man wh feeds the odd car lot in short weve got in think in terms of 10 per head on 1000 in contrast to 10 per head on a car lot turning to dairy cattle mr watson pointed out that when dili a was initiated in hmd lh average herd vailed from 11 to it or 14 cows today those sainj herds raruje from 20 to 30 coun referring to the cxuinion in

producing weanling pigs and sec ond those who buy weanling pigs and sell market hogs in 1wt of the two million hogs marketed fit ontario roughly 40 per et were fed by someone other tfen the person who raised them v4ij laiagwiieis refer ing to vertical integration he staled whether we like it or not it is here tu slay and doea of fer certain advantages in that it tends to stabilise production sec ond it will eliminate some of the in and outers and third it should result in better quality furthermore some companies ere thinking in terms uf conuol of quality and consequently are likely to take more interest in markets the consumption of chicken has increased from is to 10 lbs per capita in a very few years which indicates someone la pro moting the sale of chicken in his concluding remarks mr watson stated these changes ore taking place so rapidly how are we going to keep upt the most uncertainty is in beef callle we exported 67000 feeders to the uj in the first 10 weeks of this year feeders are bringing xsti cents in calgary against a 23 cent price in toronto furthermore iowa and nebraska ranchers are now con tracting for unborn calvea at s9 and so cents per pound perhaps here in
