business in that the importations of nonessential and semi luxury classes of commodities formerly sent to bri tain are not now encouraged states the recent issue of the current review of agricultural conditions m canada the present understandings between the governments of canada and great britain represent the compromise that has been reached in the best interests of both countries while no exports of fresh apples dressed poultry or tobacco are now be ing considered a moderate amount of business in dried and canned apples canned tomatoes fruit pulp fruit pec tin and fruit pumice has been approv ed britain has also agreed to take bacon offals bladders and casings approximating the whole surplus over canadian market requirements and practically all the canadian cheese that can be sent in addition britain has requested l 000 000 cases of evaporated milk 48 one pound tins to the case no definite arrangements have been reached regarding eggs and the out look continues uncertain

maurice i was lne opinion that halton should 1 plan 200 acres to trees annually for a more chicks hatched i more eggs wanted early indications are that the spring hatch of chickens in canada in 1941 will again be large with hatcheries reporting heavy advance orders for chicks states the current review of agricultural conditions which has just been issued by the dominion est side department of agriculture and the dominion bureau of statistics this would be a natural result of the strength of the poultry and egg 1 markets throughout 1940 and the fact i that the relationship between egg prices and feed prices has been gen erally more favourable to the poultry men than during 1939 the egg market was strengthened during 1940 by the substantial ship ments of fresh eggs to the united kingdom while no definite contract has been entered into between can ada and britain over the export of eggs shipments early in 1941 were heavier than at the corresponding period in 1940 indicating that there is still a strong demand for cana dlan eggs in the united kingdom market in canada the domestic market for eggs will be further stren gthened by the continued increase lr industrial activity and employment the fact that storage stocks have been reduced to a negligible figure as at january 1 1941 is regarded as a healthy feature of the market and it ls the first time for many years that stocks have been disposed or at the turn of tht ear glendronach farm purchase rossleigh daisy who has just com pleted a 305 day test producing 11 700 pounds of milk testing 4 has been

september 30 1941 than during the previo is twelve mon ths while prices will average somewhat lower the total income to producers will be appreciably higher the less favourable relationship between hog prices and food prices may result in latter part of 1941 and into 1942 pecialiy in eastern canada in the united states hog production ls ex pected to decline in 1941 and prices there have already shown substantial improvement it ls possible that if prices there continue to advance some canadian hogs may be exported to that market the controlling factor in canadian bog prices during 1940 was
