There will not only be a demand for this fioduct in its own right, but the shortage of other meats will accentuate it. The Executive of the Poultry Industrial Committee of Ontario instruc- ted a sub-committee to consult with representatives of the produce trade ii OiTder to ascertain what specific and definite information could be given % poultry meat prodtucers â€" especially as to the prices they should be af^le to obtain for their birds when they are ready for market. The following point* have been estaiblished and they are presented to IfMHiucers so as to acquaint them with the possibilities of a shortage, to iHpress upon them that the markets need, and will need, poultry meat, tmd as a guide in dietermining the extent of productiom. The points are: 1. Arrangements have been concluded through which Canada is to ^iipply to the United States Army her surplus up to 30 million pounds of <Jh»des A and B Poultry; Chicken 2 lbs. and over; Fowl 3 lbs. and over. 2. This huge block of product, besides other exports, leaving the •tountry, means that distributors will be hard pressed to take care of all 4iMuands. S. No cockerel chicksâ€" particularly heavy breedsâ€" that can be raised lor poultry meat should be destroyed. They can be grown and profitably •old when finished. 4. The demand will be principally for Grade A and Grade B. Grade C birdls are an uncertain quantity at the best and so must suffer a sub- stantial price discount. A large percentage of C's could be turned into a higher grade through proper care, feeding and finishing. This will pay 5. The nxMubers of the produce trade were asked to state pri,;es that producers could feel assured of receiving for chicken during all of 1945 in the light of the present situation, and forecasts. Here are the figures and producers can count on these as what they should ask forâ€" and getâ€" on tte basis of dressed weight and grade, f.o.b. country processing plants. CHICKEN GRADE A MILK FED â€" 30c per lb. GRADE A â€" 28c per lb. GRADE B MILK FED â€" 28c per lb. GRADE B â€" 26c per lb. GRADE C â€" 20c per lb. (6 lbs. and up) Prices for the first four grades are for all birds weighing two lbs. and •Ter, thus allowing a liberal weight range. Grade C poultry is not wanted and the market for smaller than 5- ftound birds in this grade-as well as for culls-cannot be predicted; it â- ever is good. Producers should strive for the higher grades. This then is definite information ,Jor. tHp producer as to h*'. marteet - *>r poultry .meat for Jjft45, Cockerehj. should be grown, not destroyed- Co- operation at this end between the hatcheryrmen and their chick buyers" iMuld help materially.
