Between November and March of each year he bought 10 different batches of potatoes alâ€" though last year he had to go to 42 stores before he filled the quota. In addition to blight and other field diseases, he found stores were leaving potatoes in their windows, and as a result the spuds were "greening" in the sun, leaving them tasteless.

Dr. Machacek began wondering back in 1944 why a province so rich agriculturally was importing 33 per cent of the potatoes it ate. A little research revealed the acreage drop despite an apparently greater markt an "it just didn‘t jibe". Generally, he found, that wastâ€" age in peeling Manitoba potato ranged from 32 to 52Fer cent. Rotâ€" ting was prevalent after peeling in 70 per cent.

While Canada authorities, coâ€" wperation with the fertilizer indusâ€" try, are making an earnest effort to provide adequate supplies of fertiâ€" lizer for Canadian farmers it is unâ€" likely that supplies will be suff:â€" cient to meet the full demand for fertilizer, in all sections of the country, which is expected in the 1947 season.

Distributors‘ tests showed smaller fat content in their milk than did the producers‘. The commissioner, Mr. Justice Dalton Wells, asked: "If complaints were made by producers to your association, why didn‘t you handle it yourselves? Are you afraid of the distributor in question?" _ _ _ Mr. Lick answered, "We couldn‘t continue our mission any further because we didn‘t want to interfere with the local association."

"I am happy to say that the farmers of Ontario maintained hog production on a higher level than any of the other provinces in the Dominion. While other provinces dropped as low as 54 per cent. of the 1945 level, Ontario kept up to 98 per cent. durin: 1946." Ontario farmers produced 500,000 more hogs than the second highest provâ€" ince, Alberta. _ â€" Mr. Kennedy, illustrating the necessity for continui'r;f governâ€" ment hog subsidies, d a proâ€" ducer of a 200â€"pound hog in Great Britain receives $46.40 for it; in the United States, $57.50, and in Ontario he receives $33.72 for the same hog. "It is apparent from these prices that Ontario farmers are not receiyving as much for their hogs as thef ought to." _ _ One factor which would indicate the removal of the subsidy, the minister said, was the increase of local market prices in the g:n few years. In April, 1941, when the hog subsidy started, the l’grice of hogs on the Toronto market was $11.40 per 100 pounds; today the price is $21.75 per 100 pounds. _ _ ‘"We hope to make production of hogs in Ontario more profitable for farmers b{ spending more money in research work on feeding Pli: ard control of swine diseases. It our firm belief that it is much better to spend money this way than in continuing to pay subsidies for an indefinite period." _ _ Other tood prices included $390 and $380 by Hon. George S. Henry, Mr. Kennedy said, in asking secâ€" ond reading of his bill to extend the subsidies into 1947: ‘"The trend today is toward dropping subâ€" sidies, and allowing commodities to find their own levels, and the time may come in the not too distant future when the necessity for reâ€" taining hog and cheese subsidies wil} no longer exist." e However, the minister cited the shortage of food in Britain and prevailing prices for hogs as the main reason why the subsidies would not be lifted at the present time. "The need for supplying all the food we possibly can for the people of Britain is greater now than even during the war," Mr. Kennedy said. â€" Ontario produced 41.1 per cent. gradb "A" hogs and 42.7 per cent. grade "B1", a total of 83.8 per cent. of the hogs of export grade. The average for the whole of Canada was 75.7 per cent. in these two grades. _ _ _ _ _ â€" Attention was drawn by the minister to the return of world markets in cheese of New Zealand and Australia, both lars: mpg_l'l.en of Britain in preâ€"war d’l eir advantages of climate and good allâ€" yearâ€"round pastures, created a problem for Ontario farmers in meetlnt the competition.

There has been a steady decline in the o&mduction of cheese, from 128,000,000 pounds in 1942 to 92,000,000 last year. "We believe that had it not been for the Ontario subsidy of two cents a pound, the drop would have been much greater," Mr. Kennedy said. â€" Kennedy Says, Hog, Cheese Subsidies Cut Off Soon Toronto. â€" Agricultural Minister Kennedy said in the Ontario Legisâ€" lature, that hog and cheese subsiâ€" dies may be removed "in the not too distant future".
