These facts are worth recalling inasmuch as they illustrate clearly the fundamental relations between the Farmer and the Packer. These may be summarized as follows:â€" When prices of Live Stock advance, the Packer makes an extra Profit. Conversely, when prices decline, the Packer‘s Profit is reduced. _ Therefore, the Packer works constantly for higher Live Stock prices. But the _acker, within his own province, can do little to advance prices. Advances come from two main sources:â€" (a) Improved markets:â€"example, the rapid advance in Hog prices which derived from the Ottawa Agreement. Improved markets are brought about mainly hy Government action. (b) Better Live Stock:â€"example, Canadian Bacon sells on the British market at 8/â€" per cwt. less than Danish Bacon,â€"because it is not so This is not just theory. A striking illustration of it occurred in the advance of Hog prices when the British market for Bacon was opened up by the Ottawa Agreement. Within 12 months (March 1933 to March 1934) Hog prices in Canada advanced from 3%, cents per Ib. to an average level of more than ....8¢ per 1b. The Packer was the instrument through which this advance was realized. Hc shared in the benefit through an extra Profit during the period of the advance. This extra Profit was approximately oneâ€"half of one per cent of Sales. But the Farmer‘s advance was from a 3 cent level to an $ cent level, (nearly 200 per cent) and this remained. The Packer constantly seeks new markets in his own interest. For the pioneer in a market makes an extra Profit. But he is followed into that market by competing Packers. This competition immediately brings the Packer‘s Profit back to the normal level (1 to 2 per cent). Thereafter the entire benefit of the new market goes to the Farmer. The Packer performs an essential service in marketing the Farmer‘s Live BStock. For clearly the householder cannot buy live Cattle and live Hogs. The Packer buys the live animals and converts them into Meats. His job is to produce the most palatable Meats possible; then to offer them for sale in those markets of the wm_'ld in Lwhich they will bring the highest price. Income from Investments ....... To‘il Profit, including Income from Investments ............... The Farmers of Canada, particularly Western Canada, of late have had a dificult time. When the Saskatchewan Farmer, struggling to raise Hogs and Caitle throu«h continued years of drought, reads that a Packing Company has made a Net Profit of a Million Dollars, it is small wonder if he contrasts the lot of the L. » Stock Producer with that of the processor. What he may not realize is that the Million Dollars derives from Sales of 80 Milltions,â€"proâ€" cessed in Plants which have cost approximately 20 Millions. In other words, that the sum, though large, is small in relation to Investment and to Turnover. The essential facts are epitomized in the table of percentages above.

But from Novembe: forward Profits declined rapidly. This decline was brought about by the economic recession which set in about midsummer 1937.

But in recent years the knowledge has become general that although a Milk ingredient provides the best ration, still a balanced ration is possible without Milk. The elements contributed by Milk can be made up from other sources, including Beef Scrap, Fish meal, etc. There must, of course, be some explanation for this very great difference in feeding efficiency. It lies partly in the fact that Danish Pigs from birth get a balanced ration.â€" This is due chiefly to the fact that almost every Farm in Denmark carries on Milk production as well as Pig production. And throughâ€" out the entire growth of the Pigs, Milk is included in their ration. _ If we assume that average feeding efficiency was 0n & DAMIG Of .o/lcvirreccocmmtarirereteitiivarcactivatneciratartstserres 5:1, and if we further assume that it was possible throughout Canada to achieve a feeding efficiency eqauiralent to.

On two occasions, after achieving an important position in Great Britain, Canadian Bacon has been pushed out of that market by the Danes. In a genâ€" eral way it was realized this happened because Danish Bacon was better than Canadian Bacon. But it is only recently that Canadians have begun to realize fully that the Danish advantage lay chiefly in their higher feeding efficiency. In 1937, when Grains were high, Canada produced approximately 7,000,000 Hogs. It is impossible to state exactly the average cost, per lb. at the Farm, of producing those Hogs.

If a good crop is harvested this year on the Prairies there will likely be the greatest increase on record in Hog breedings. This decrease is due entirely to crop failure. Many Farmers have no feed.

As has always been the case in the past, that Farmer has done best who continued ‘, produce Hogs all the time. The unfortunate Farmer is he who, throveh a : ries of crop failures, has been forced out of Hogs. And there are many such. The evidence of this lies in the Hog deliveries of the Prairie Provinces during recent months Average for year If the Canadian price could be brought up to the level of the Danish price, the Canadian Producer would receive for his Hogs an extra 15/20 million Dollars per year. To interpret market opportunities such as this to the i‘roducer, and to the Government, is one of the Packer‘s chief duties. For he is the only person in intimate contact with the Producer on the one hand and outlets for proâ€" duct on the other. During part of the year the price of Grains was also high. To the Proâ€" ducer who had to buy his feed, the relation between Hog and Grain prices at times caused anxiety. However, most Farmers do not buy their feed. They grow it on their Farms. And the Farmer who gets normal crops of Wheat, Oats, and Barley, and converts those into Hogs on the basis of 9 cents per lb. gets a good return on his land. Since January 1933, when the Ottawa Agreeâ€" ment came into operation, Hog production has without question been the most profitable branch of Canadian Agriculture. From the point of view of the Producer, the year was profitable as to Hogs and disappointing as to Cattle. « Month by month, average prices for Hogs were as follows: (Bacon Hogs, f.0.b.

Attention was called to the fact that Beef was plentiful, of good quality, and reasonable in price. In United States the campaign was organized on a broad scale, Packers, Cattle Producers, and the Government all participating. in Canada plans were not made in time to permit this wider organization, but individual Packers carried on active campaigns. In this movement it is perhaps fair to say that Canada Packers took the lead. OMA . s cieves brssermnicvencarate $2,032 25,922 Some relief came from Great Britain.

Prices there were........ 214 cents per lb. lower than in January, 1937. As a result the movement of Cattle from Canada to United States was much less than in the previous year. Shipments were as follows: 1937 1938 In Cattle the year has been disappointing. The season 1936/7 had been a very successful one. Feeders had made large Profits As a result, in the Fall of 1937 much larger numbers of Caitle than usual were put on feed. Demand for the feeders was so active that prices were forced up........1 to 1% cents per lb. above those of the previous Fall. And by January, 1938, it was already evident more Cattle were on feed than were needed. The next great advance in Pig husbandry in Canada will be the general use of a balanced ration. The facts involved are no longer a matter of speculation. For in almost every Pig producing area of Canada, individual Farmers have achieved a feeding efficiency as high as 3%:1,â€"with and withâ€" out skim Milk. When Canada has achieved a standard of quality and also a standard of feeding efficiency equal to that of Denmark, then it will not again be possible f : Denmark to push Canada off the British market.

The barrage may thus be varâ€" ied in character and location from day to day. The cables may be arranged in line like a fence or in clumps like a forest. The object of the barrage is to force the enemy aircraft to a height at which they can be efâ€" fectively dealt with by fighter airâ€" craft and antiâ€"aircraft guns. It is hoped to produce balloons which may reach a height of 25,000 ft., trailing steel cable of sufficient strength to bring down intruding planes. The balloon barrage, when fulâ€" ly developed, is designed to form an important part of the coâ€"orâ€" dinated scheme â€" consisting of fighter airplanes, balloons, guns and searchlightsâ€"for the air deâ€" fence of London. There will be the common garâ€" den variety of fence which conâ€" sists of a line of balloons strung together, trailing steel cables inâ€" to which attacking planes are exâ€" pected to crash. And there will be the "barbed wire" type whose cables are attached to high exâ€" plosives, and with which contact would prove fatal. Against Air Attackâ€"Is Like A Giant Fence Mile or So Up This "balloon barrage" the air ministry is using as one means of defence against air attack over London means throwing a fence high up in the air. After some deliberation, Mayo hit upon a compromise. "We‘ll make another ‘take‘ for the Italiâ€" ans," he said, "and this time be sure to call it noodlesâ€"that won‘t offend anyone." Must Have Two "Takes" But Mayo had to show actors fumbling with the food in a scene which recreates the discovery of spaghetti by Marco Polo in 13th century China. As a Subject t.: Com Must Not Be Made Li Of Before Italians Few realize kow censorable and dangerous is the use of spaghetti in the movies. Italy would ban Holâ€" lywood films on account of it. This problem of spaghetti came to the attention of Archie Mayo of Hollywood when he directed ‘The Adventures of Marco Polo." â€" It seems that an Italian edict prohib» its the use of spaghetti in comedy sequences for the reason that it is the favorite food of the Romans, 120 M.P.H.
