Laws blamed c the present crisis in live Stock and feed supplies in can Ada and the United stale could have been avoided by better planning two agricultural processing officials claimed Friday. But As things stand North american Consumers mus Ace up to inevitably rising food prices or All meat sex Orts from both countries con trolled As feed ingredients were this week. C. M. Hardin vice chairman of Ralston Purina inc. Of St Louis Missouri and .

Adm Nistra on. Facing higher food prices lakes or. Hardin old a Canadian feed manufacturers association convention. But it we Don to the Alt rna Ive of strictly controlling All icat exports will take even More a move while it might i o 1 d Domestic prices Down Capo rarely would eventually Rimp the . Agricultural Economy and make an even bigger Dent in her balance of Lay cats or. Hardin suggest the p resident of Burns oods Ltd. Of Calgary alia., 15. E. Child agreed that Canada faces a similar prob pm in coping with mounting c m a n d s for agricultural on the world Market. Or. Child predicted thai contrary to Consumers Hopes Iccy and pork prices in Canada re Likely to Rise even More in he next few months unless the e d e r a 1 governments moves rely to control inflation. The housewife had better put u with the situation or face a serious meat shortage in he called the recent Parlia a e n t a r y inquiry into food prices an exercise in futility. It s beyond comprehension that sonic of its members did not understand the reason for Ricc he said about 85 per cent of the steer prices paid by Canadian packing plants goes to the Farmer another 10 per cent Tor wages and the remaining five lick cent to packing House overload and profits. In the past year steer prices Lave increased to about a hundredweight live from about a hundredweight. Cattlemen Are rec Ivinia about 2. Per cent More in prices than icy did a year ago. And hog producers arc Selling 50 per cent More. The minister of agriculture says the Farmer is entitled to inc increases. Certainly we face a serious Sior Lage unless the Farmer Sakcs a reasonable rut. He added that nol Hins nit. Government acl Ion will halt the right per a Cal annual wage a crease in the food Industry.

Even when the new crop is liar Clec hoarding and Over buying May create an artificial shortage while worldwide de Mam should reach a new High plateau unknown by . Agricula lure in the past. Or. Child sees one answer in Federal provincial income stabilization program for hog production with the producer paying part of the Cost. Hog prices and supplies fluctuate widely be said. The Only other answer would appear to be in securing Long term Export contracts with countries As Japan at firm prices. However it will probably take a National hog marketing Council to accomplish this or. Child said. So far Manitoba is the Only Western province to have made any substantial hog sales to Japan on a Long term contract. Without a National marketing Agency and an income stabilization program Canadian hogs could easily be undersold on world Export markets he said. Nor does he any sign of in increased Supply of Canadian cat Lac almost stationary at about 2.8 million head for he last eight years even with rising beef prices.
