now la given statutory recognition in the amendment it has for some time been recog nized that the unemployment in surance act is one of the most im portant pieces of social legislation in canada from time to time national bodies in different fields make rec ommendations to the commission which if implemented would in volve amending the act the great labour organizations have for some time been uriflng an increase in benefits and also a reduction in the number of waiting dnys the act j list passed goes nt least part way in the direction of implementing their requests before the amending bill was passed the maximum benefit which could be paid to n person with n dependent was 2100 this is in creased to 2400 on n dally basis the lncrcase is from 350 to 4 00 the other classes of benefit

conblt durin the anifual ontario poultry and live stock conference was held at the ontario agricultural college guelph july 7th to 10th inclusive judging by what we saw and heard on the one afternoon we were in i tendance more of our i hal ton pro ducers should have been present in cluded in the programme were not tidy leading authorities from many parts of canada but also from var ious points in the us the whole programme would appear to have un so outstanding that from our vwwpouit it u most unfortunate hat it should jiave been held at so lusy a season no doubt there are wry tfiod reasons why the con- fcrnuce is held at this um of year but in the final analysis it means most of us will have to get the high lights from the farm pros on the wednesday afternoon we were present the poultry people were in session in massey hall and the addresses centred around the turkey situation turkey nutrition and new developments in turkey prod uction and marketing all of which no doubt was very much worthwhilo but we attended the session in memorial hall which incidentally was filled almost to capacity for the addrcms of dr w g kammlade of the university of illinois who ilioht on some aspeeli of grass land animal agriculture ii li ad dress centred around some of the experiences and experiments in the development of socalled marginal or sub marginal lands in the south ern part of illinois it is in this area that the olson springs kter- imrnt station i orated this sta tion contains approximately b400 acres varying in topography from level to slopes of more than 13 per rent according to the speaker no ef fort is made to crop slope that are slevprr than 0 per cent which means a nine foot rise in one hundred feet slopes over 0 percent are in their opinion best suited or forest use we were interested in the ipenk- rt statement there are no marg inal or submarkinal lands if they are put to the use for which they are best adopted erosion control their studies of soil and water losses have shown that the lnt land usr for erosion control relates tt ome tye of grassland agriculture under their conditions of tono graphy and rainfall in southern illi nois the speaker stated a plow layer of soil would be lost in from 20 to 23 years under the usual till age methods under grassland type of agriculture it would take from three to eight thousand years to lose that same amount or soil importance of crop residue according to dr kammlade when crop residues were removed on a 5 percent slope soil losses were 48 tons per acre with corn and b7 tons per acre with winter wheat where the residues were returned the soil losses were lcij and 4 1 tons re spectively inese arc but a few of remember this property may be lost or stolen ruined by fire explosion windstorm flood

our products in part that may be true but wc per sonally were surprise to learn that during che past five years britain has been spending 630 million dol lars a year in canada in contrast to 330 million dollars a year during the five year period prior to iu3u our lnioruint factor responsible fur the loss of the british market is the high price of canadian agricul tural products in re lu hon to the price of the same products in other parts of the world the real crux of the situation is that britain must have raw products for her reunna- mciit programme iarft surpluses pork bef our hog marketings to the end if june are one third higher than a year ago some 37 million pounds of ork have been canned and to date is in storage not sold in ad dition some 13 million pounds of pork is

of this amount neurly 40 million poundi would be on the way to britain by the end of last week with heavy runs of both hugs and beef anticipated this fall it wuuld seem that wc art far from being out of the woods yet fool and mouth outbreak the outbreak of foot and mouth disease in saskatchewan last feb ruary involved only 20 premises and some 1200 head of stock that in itself doesnt amount to very much but the consequent loss of the us market is the serious factor coming as it does at a time when wc have little other export outlet jiavc you seen the attractive new wedding statjoncry now

go u without a corresponding rise in the vol ume of manhour production then prices are bound to go up too so it is really up to the canadian people whether or not we have stable prices if we canadians
