The general position with reztird to production is favourable. There is an unfortunate trend away from dairyinrr and toward beef produc- tion. With a national downward position in dairy production it would appear that dairying will for many years occupy a top priority as an attractive department of farm projection. The top yield of dairy products for the season was not due to any designed improvement In dairy herds, but rather to an unusual pastui-age season. Extra

time was placed on dairy work by staff officers. Quality was distinct-

I-log and sheep and poultry pro- duction continuc to be strong fac- tors in farm economy. The hog population was well maintained at about 130.000 animals. of which ap- proximately 94.000 will go through inspected absttoirs as compared with 97,000 in i950. A very large sole of sucker pigs and farm killed bag; has lowered slightly the vol- ume through inspected plants. our lead in cbmmerclal grades at above 529.'-. until in advanced registry con- tinues well out front of any other area. in Canada. and our recent. ltnprcssive winnings at the Mari- time Winter Fair, with almost a complete sweep. and subsequently at the Royal with it near duplica- tion in commercial classes. pro- vides an evidence of our superior- ity in quality production. Unfort- iinatelythere seems to be a wide discrepancy between hog types at the Royal designed to meet con- sumer merit as compared with breeding hog standards. Why no sane person would attempt to an- swer. It is a matter for swine miss- ionary work among some Central Canada hog judges. Over 350 breed- ers are now producing registered hogs in the Province.

Potatoes

The effect of a two-year loss on potatoes was indicated in a. 30 per cent drop in potato acreage - ra- ther too large a. recession. A total of 31,500 acres was divided into 21.000 acres for seed and 10.000 in tablestock. Over 19.502 acres pass- ed for seed. Poor potato weather. blight. and other factors reduced the crop. and we possibly have one of the lowest yields in our history

" Canada's potato crop is set at 67-

f00,000; bushels and the Island's share is 8.280.000 bushels. Person- nliy I feel these are outside figures and potatoes will not be too plent- iful before the new crop comes in if this surmise is correct. Prices have been excellent. and will con- tinue to be favourable. While this good market will amply repay i-he producer fortunate enough to have a large crop. there are a 1311;? number whose crop was a partial failure. and in these cases the to- tal revenue will not much more than pay the season's heavy costs of production.
