Stephenson, LIVE STOCK SURVEY The following extracts are reprinted from the Annost Report of Canada Parkers, Limited: For the Producer of Live Stock, the year under review has, on the whole, been an encouraging one. Cattle prices are still low, and the outlook none tao clear. But Hog prices and Sheep prices have-been high throughout the year. And even Cattle prices are a good deal better than two years ago, or three years ago. .To one who may be inclined towards a pessimistic view of the Live Stock outlook, the best corrective is to look back over the record of the six de- pression years. And particularly to compare conditions to-day with those of the low point, That point occurred between September 1932, and March 1933. Although removed from it by less than four years, it is difficult now even to recall how depressing the outlook then was. The improvement (from that point) has been gradual, and for this reason one does not realize until the com- parison is actually set up how greatly Farm prices have advanced. The following table gives this comparison for the periods: Sept. 1932, Sept. 1935, to and to : March 1933. March 1936. Wheat, No. 1 Northern, Port Arthur ...... 46.9¢. 85.6¢. Bacon Hogs, f.o.b.

More than upon any other factor, the economic welfare of Canada depends upon the prosperity of her farms, To. promote the welfare of the Farmer should, therefore, be _the first item of national economic policy. If at times those responsible for national policy have appeared to lose sight of this, the reason is not indifference, bag the fact a it is hot easy to assist Ane Jentine by legislative enactment. ausistanie is that of Tariff atime But except within the narrowest ange, Agriculture cannct be helped by Tariffs. Obviously Agricultural welfare depénds chiefly on the prices of Farm products. Every Government in Canada sincerely wishes to advance prices of Farm products." The problem is to know how it can be done. The solution, will derive not from the study of this or that surface f iwure, but of the underlying factors which determine: Farm prices Canada has a vast Agricultural area and a relatively sparse population. Even in lean years she produces a very large surplus. This surplus has a special significance inasmuch as thd price obtainable abroad for the surplus determinés the price not only of the product exported, but alse of the product retained at Home.~ : - For instance, the price the Canadian Farmer gets for all his Wheat is determined by the price received for the surplus at Liverpool. Similarly, the price for all his Hogs is determined by the price received for the surplus | § (in the form of Wiltshire Bacon) in London. From the above, the following deductions ensue, (1) That the development of markets abroad for Farm products must always be a major objective of Canadian trade policy. (2) That Canada should plan to adjust production of its chief Aguri- cultural products so that the surplus shall conform to the outlets for those. products which exist abroad, (3) Conversely, that she should produce a sufficient surplus of cach product to fill all the profitable outlets which do exist. It is a simple nmtter to talk of Agricultural planning for, Canada. Buti; to direct or divert production, even to a slight extent, is a problem involving the greatest diflliculties, For the decistons as to production are made on 700, 000 Sari Each farmer decides what he will produce, in the main without reference to the decision of any other farmer, : And yet the matter is one of such importance that some attempt atl solution must be made. Probably the best plan is continually to place before the farmers the broad facts regarding Canada's external market outlets. As his grasp of these facts becomes firmer the farmer will himself tend to adjust his operations to fluctuating market conditions. To illustrate from the experience of the last three years. There must have been a good many thousands of farmers in Canada who might, to their great advantage, have converted Wheat into Hogs if they had forseen more not be cleared, and a$ the same time a deficiency of Hogs. Perhaps it would be worth while to add to the existing multitude of Farm Bodies an Agricultural Advisory Council. ThisBody might corre: spond in the field of Agriculture to the General Economie Council suggested recently for Canada, Its membership might consist of three or four repre- sentative farmers, and an equal number of persons most familiar with the problems of marketing Canada's chief crops. The Chairman might perhaps be the Federal Minister or Deputy Minister of Agriculture. Such a body meeting three or four times a year to review the broad problems of Agricultural marketing, might, by its recommendations, event- ually gain the confidence and attention of the farmers and become the medium through which individual farm production would be adjusted to national outlets, . Tt has been the practice in these Reports to. discuss the Spacinl factors immediately affecting the markets for Hogs and Cattle.Certain references to these have already been made, and space remains only for a highly condensed summary. HOGS-- Throughout the year conditions have been very favourable. For the calendar year 1935 the average price -for Bacon Hogs, f.o.b. Ontario Country points was 8.22c. per Ib. ) In 1935 Canada's shipments amounted to only one-half its quota--- 1,250,000 hogs." And in 1935 shipments will probably not exceed 1,500,000. CATTLE--For the past six years prices for cattle have been more dis- couraging than those for hogs. In November 1935, the Trade Agreement arranged between Canada and United States whereby, on a limited number of cattle, the duty was reduced from 3c. to 2c. per Ib. The'quota to the United States was set at 155,799. Up to July 1st Canada had shipped under the 2¢, tariff agreement 111,393 cattle. It seems certain that the quota will be filled by October. Therefore the balance of the year the 3c. tariff will again come into force, ) The outlook for Cattle is still.not encouraging. It may be the present drought conditions in United States may result in a scarcity of finished cattle during the Spring of 1037. In this case prices next spring will be higher. But the permanent solution of Canada's cattle problem is to secure better terms from United States.- Say a quota of 200,000 per year--Can- ada's normal surplus. imported in to United States. and Mrs. John Moore. clearly that for three years there would be a surplus of Wheat which could | F.
