that is not british firms have signed new con tracts with russian timber ex porters the united states still main tains its high duty on canadian lumber so it looks as if it will not be the easiest

trade of newsprint to the united states open letter to farmers heavier and finished hogs in the 43 weeks of 1933 to the week ending november 9th hog deliveries have been 2660000 com pared with 2371000 in the same period of 1932 hog deliveries for the week of november 9th 1933 wero 64700 compared with 50300 for the corresponding week of 1932 in tho same time the price of bacon hogs has advanced from 370 to 600 per hundred pounds on the toronto market thus hog deliver ies have increased and the domestic price of pork products has con siderably advanced along with this condition in pork products beef prices have fallen to low levels and domestic consump tion is shifting from pork to beef this is restricting tho domestic out let for pork but tho ottawa con ference have provided an assured outlet for bacon for the uino months to end of september 1933 bacon exports to britain wero 51327000 lbs compared with 21 css 000 in the same period of 1932 exports continue- to be on a heavy relative scale our one hopo of maintaining and bettering hog prices is to increase our exports of bacon but hero conies the rub when in england lately the greatest com plaint i heard with regard to canadian bacon was lack of finish and light weights canadian packers in order to not overburden tho domestic market wero forced to ship bacon that did not measure up to tho desired quality there were faults in type and conformation but that is another story if the hogs from which the bacon was made had been of the proper weights and finish the bacon situa tion would have greatly benefited every cent counts

lunch which has been recently acquired by an all canadian group tho organiza tfon has restaurants in all the cities and many larger towns in ontario w p mulocks north york friends will know where to lunch in futuro but of course tlioy must pay for their meal ticket it would appear that farmers do hot understand the seriousness of this condition at present it is im possible to get enough properly- finished hogs of the right weights to make the required quantities of export bacon and of best bacon for home use a part of these unfinish ed and light weight hogs may be due to lack of feed but is not a great deal of it due to the fact that producers do not quite understand the importance of proper weight and finish this is the message of this letter normal school in january miss mildred foote

phone 9512 stouffville ontario s 1sfaslslsi3s to o present on thursday docembor 14th dur lug tho weok of thoir annual con vention the united farmers of ontario will throw their doors open to all farm peoplo of tho province who are desirous of framing and supporting a vigorous independent agricultural programme designed to assure immediate relief and bring about tormanont recovery i this farmers mass meeting which iis not in any senso a part of the ufo convention will bo held in tho king edward hotel 35 king street kast toronto beginning promptly at 130 pm if moro than one session is required the mooting will he allowed to continuo into an evening session a cordial invitation is extended to all independent thinking farm peoplo the bulk of good bacon conies from tho bacon and select grades of hogs there is a range of weights in these two grades of from iso to 230 lbs at the farm it is probably natural for farmers to assume that when a hog has attained a weight of iso lbs in tho bacon grade or 190 in the select grade that this is as useful a weight for export or domestic purposes as any weight up to 230 lbs such is not the case tho low weights are the minimum and the high weights are the maximum that can bo accepted but it is very undesirable that the bulk of the hogs should be either in the low or the high weights the bulk of the hogs should be from 200 to 220 lbs at- tho farm when not too full of feed hogs aro now coming in quanti ties at from iso to 200 lbs at these low weights many aro un finished and even a part of the heavier weights lack finish this disastrous to good iprices for bacon both in tho export and domestic market and of course equally disastrous to good prices for hogs tho difficulty of scaree feed supplies in some sections is fully recognized but it will pay to finish tho hogs that are on hand on the farm rather than flood the market with poor hogs at from iso to 230 lbs hogs gain rapidly and mako very economical use of feed hogs that are finished so as to mako bacon or select grade bring from fifty cents to a dollar per hundred moro than unfinished hogs this will pay for purchased feed at the samo time tho market will be strengthened instead of being weakened some weeks ago on account of an extra supply of bacon being per mitted to bo shipped to the british market by denmark the price slumped since that time further restrictions of imports have been imposed by britain on foreign countries and currency exchange has improved the markets have strengthened in consequence for tho weeks of october 26th nov 2nd and novomber 9th the price of bacon hogs at toronto has been 560 575 and 600 showing a steady advance it is bolloved that if farmers fully understand tho need for carrying their hogs until from 200 to 220 lbs and having them proper ly finished they will cooporato for the good of all faithfully yours s e todd secretary industrial development council canadian meat packers next week tho editor intends to publish an

are you goiiig to 15- men i think i am safe in saying- tha tho ago old question what are you going to be when you grow up has already been asked of every school boy and girl within my hearing and i am sure wo have all asked our selves the same question many times over this task of choosing a lifes work does indeed seem to he serious as well as important and for my allotted time this afternoon i have taken as my subject what are you going to be it is being suggested i hope it will come to pass that every boy and girl should learn a trade at school tho jews in the days of tho old testament did this and that is how st paul was a tentmaker he was a lawyer as well but he learned the trade of tent making as a school boy and when he had to earn some money to keep himself he wasnt ashamed to make tents no one should bo ashamed of honest work however humble it may be tho only thing to he ashamed of is work that is dishonest or badly tone that is the only work that is lowering or degrading to the worker god put us into the world to work and ho made toil honourable and never said that one occupation was higher than another therefore in choosing an occupation the most im portant consideration is not so much the kind to be done as whether we shall find joy and happiness in that work tho greatest human tragedy is that in which the worker fails to find pleasure in his work to be per manently successful one must he uni formly happy ho will do more in the samo time and do it better than the man who works in silent sullon- ness if we then are to be happy i om work we must not ojily love it but we must love our fellow men before wo can serve them truly and wo must love god first of all then whatever we choose for our lifes occupation whether it he a pro fession or a trade or whether it bo keeping a shop or sweeping a pave ment it will lie to us a joy and a pleasure because we shall know that as how are you going to 1 e and when the last greu scorer comes to write against your name hell ask not if you won or lost but how you played the game for life is a mirror for king or slave its just what you aro and do so give to the world the best that you have and tho
