Beef Committees Work 2 To Improve Industry: ~

At the present time there are actually four beef commi in operation. First there is the over-all general committee of 18 persons. this is divided into a formula checking committee. a public relations committee and finally an organization or constitution committee.

The checking committee has already been active and as a result of discussions with offi- cials of Canada Packers weekly reports are now being released indicating prices that may be expected for the ee top grades of cattle on a rail grade

basis.

This week the public relations committee has met with the Hon. A.B. Macltae to discuss the desirability of having in the province an a e and qu fled beef fieldman. In support of this request the value of such a fieldman was pointed out in matters related to marketing, grading, production, manage-

BEEF FORMULA The prices which are to be announced on a weekly basis for

upon between Canada Packers Ltd. and the Beef Producers Committee. The foundation of the formula rests on the price of Winnipeg beef delivered in Montreal. The reason for this is that Maritime packers have supplies available from two

tteesi

main sources— local cattle and meat bought in Winnipeg.

Each Friday the basic quota- tions will be received by wire from a reputable meat broker and used to arrive at the price for the following week. The prices given will cover the three top grades of steers on a rail grade basis. It is recogniz- ed that there are many other grades and that a number of producers will prefer to sell on a live basis. From experience and by estimation it should be possible to arrive at the approx- imate value on a live basis and for other classes of cattle. SEPT. ACTIVITY

The first week of September‘

sees an unusual amount of hay- ing going on with harvesting getting underway by the binder method. So far we have seen no combining, but expect that ear- lier grain during the coming week will be in readiness. Lim- ited acreages of potatoes are being dug and some turnips be ing moved to the early market. Pastures are being maintained in excellent condition a fact which is reflected in an in- crease in butter production of 20 per cent over the same time last year.

HORNE COST MONEY

There probably was a reason for putting horns on cattle, but the reason and the need seems to have disappeared at least from the economic standpoint.

do not begin until after Labour

Particularly is this true of cat- tle being shipped to market. Packers point out that serloul losses occur as a resin of dam- age and injuries inflicted by cattle on each other. In some cases there is a penalty on horned cattle and reports are that such a system results in the horns being removed. In any event consideration is being given to developing some type

of program which will encour- future of the P!‘0V1!I00-

plication of water to the land would hardly seem to be a top- ic of much interest this season: However. the results on m _ crops of really abundant mois- ture even in the absence of sun- light and warmth leads one -to wonder What the results would be during a hot season if mois- ture were available in abund- ce.

The value of irrigation is de- termlned. of course. by the quality of the crop. and possib- ly there is a place for some ex- perimen in connection.

We can understand that the average farmer will likely be reluctant to make the invest- meat, but perhaps there would be justification for our Depart- menrts culture giving the matter some consideration.

In this province at this stage of our educational history we are involved in a revolution, a revolution which is producing rural high schools with in some cases over 700 students in at- tendance. This drive for high school education is bound to have a profound affect on tha
