A quota in the vicinity of 100 hogs a farmer per year likely will be set as the limit on which this direct subsidy will be made. The government went ouf of the skim milk powder business al- together. : Since last May the government has been buying skim milk powder at 10 cents a pound. Be- fore that it paid 15 cents a pound but decided to lower the price when it found that production last year was nearly twice con- sumption. The government's agricultural stabilization board estimates that the average price for eggs over the whole country, on the basis of 44 cents a dozen grade A in Montreal, will come to about 33 $1 ,094,457. The government bought $21. 504,761 worth of hogs during the last fiscal year and as of March 31 had sold only $533,130 worth. board by the some 1,100 regis- tered egg grading stations. Another result of such a price decline should also be cheaper eggs at Canadian grocery stores and, possibly, a reduction in egg production. It is likely that a similar pro- cess will take place in the hog business when the government switches to deficiency payments for hogs. In the fiscal year ended last March 31, the egg price support program cost the government cents a dozen this year.
