able to postpone it thll year. He then called on the secretary, Mr. (fillies/tn give hla annual re-

port.

The report in full at the and of this article. r. Gillies when he had given his review 3f the year's activities gave some igurofl lambemcehggcdiumbclttg hl-ig: and

an e re- solved. For the l1 month‘: cndinS June 1034, 0.064 hogs were handled by the Board alrlountin in value to the farmer to 8B0. JFor the yea-r ending June 1080. 0,014 hogs were handled valued at 8151.000.

7.110 lambs were shipped through. the Board in T034 valued at 838.- 000. In i935 6.700 lambs were ship- ped valued at 026.000. The whole

ll9l.358.53 against tlsopoo for the ll months in 183A. Eatilnating thc value cf the stock rhl ‘ in July 1058. which was not eluded in the Prince Edward Island Board's accounts ac prior to time the busi- ness was handled at Moncton. at $8,000, the increase in business this

or over the previous year was 01,000. ,

W. D. nose emmacd JBMUN with the result and enquired if there was any lose of hogs in ship- ment, and if ‘so how it woe pm- vided for. Mr. Gillies explained that there is always a certain loos in tmnslt and that it is provided for from a fund treated to take care of such loaeee. It amounts t0 only a cent or two Pd! hog ship- ped. More attention should. be paid to providing more otralw bedding in the care to decrease the lose from deaths in transit, the secretary thought. '

Montague Anneor. M.L.A., called on to sneak by the chairman. said that he has taken all active part in wee-operative lnarketinfl since it began. The moat of the farmers appear to be satisfied with the way things are going. Bomci farmers, however, usually those who chill onl 4 or so hogs a year, are com- pic. ing, and it la those he would like to see hei If they could be satisfied it would help the clubs a lot, he thought. He didn't know lust what could be done. however. He thought the producers. especial- ly the larger ones. are satisfied with rail grading- ‘

P. A. Mclsaac. M-L-A. the next weaker, congratulated the man- ager and his assistant for the splendid report they had prepared.

Those who are complaining about rail grading do not under- stand what they should expect, he thought. “Poor railway services have much to do with poor returns audit is up to us to get after the railway to live us improved serv- ices," Mr. Mclsaac said. "It would not require any extra trains either, just a change in ‘timetables!’ he went on to say. Members of clubs are also to blame for poor returns. They will not list their stock with the secretaries and as ~a result adequate ,. cannot be made.

A. F. Baker, MLJL, congratulat- ed membere of the Board on the way things are being conducted. He thought it would be a. good idea to establish a small fund to take care of losses in aillpmcntc auch as dead hogs, ate. He felt sure the shippers would not. mind.

W. J. Bold, President of the Booed was celled on by the chair-

man and govc a brief address. I-le

regretted that it had seemed n00-

casary to postpone the annual meeting. In the future he advcov ated that the meeting be held at the regular time regardless of

what reason there might seem to he for postponing it.

~ Ho then reviewed briefly the, cetps leading up to co-operativa

marketing. Bringing the general aeiiingoffice to Charlottetown was

one of the beat moves ever made for oil-operative live stovk market-

ing in this province, he thou ht. His hope for the future was at

farmers would study-

“Perhaps in studying marketing

schemes and marketing we have drifted away from the actual product lwell’. the i108" Mr. Reid said, In that collflbctlon ho warned

that there is a. danger in this

province of oducing a hog lust a trifle too a nrt and thick.

cc. when the Mutts ‘ere buvy

business transacted in 1085 was

at the peeking nlenta e day or two may elapse before they "are slaughtered. Slow trankportatlon delaying shipments also holds up returns. ‘The etaff at the Char- lottetown office is small in order to keep down expenses and that too tends to retard payments. al- though every effort is made to speed up the work.

lil- N. Easter told of some of his experiences ln the chipping of hogs. One of the greatest troubles is that the cerc are not bedded with sufficient straw. Unless there ll one ‘ it is impossible to get them to market in good shape.

Roy Quigiey of Davis and ‘Fraser's also spoke in support of better prepared cars. Rail grading is a good thing, lie thought.

W. R: Shaw. deputy minister of agriculture, expressed Premier Ma's regret at not being able to attend the meeting. Mr. Show felt. he said, that all must be ,‘ ‘ with the Marketing Board during the pest yedr. There is also much to be pleased with from the, pro- duction standpoint. It was due in the mninto better returns but some credit is due to both depart- ments of Agriculture and the ef- forts, of the Marketing Board. He stressed that hog production in this province was always aub- normal even at the peak of pro- duction.

He advocated some tion for travelling expenses in order that the manager of the Board could make contact with different marketing centres in the province-

He advocated the appointing of a committee to deal with the transpilrtatfon problem.

Mr- Mocre thought that ship- nere should be advisedwhen their

appropria-

hogs do not grade selects why t do not. l . W. Clay spoke on the rail

grade of hogs. The shippers get paid for the weight the govern- ment grader gives. It is the first time a system was used where the producer gets a government certi- ficate weight. So far as rail grad- ing la concerned the element of doubt has been eliminated. There ire tremendous variation ln the way hogs dress, he said, and gave several actual cases. TWO hogeeaoh weighed 200 lbs., and one‘ dressed 468 and the other 135 pounds. Of two otherqhose. one weighed 24c lbs. and the other 21b. The first dressed 178 and the second 1'76. Live weight is only an indication of what a pig will dress.

The feeding hos a. great deal to do with it. Grain fed h9g5, espec- ially if they are fed with barley, do not show nearly so much shrinkage as poorly fed animals.

It was announced that there will be a killer at Davis and Fraser's plant at 10 o'clock this morning and farmers were invited to at- tend. Mr. Clay and Mr. S. D. Irvine, Federal Field Men will demonstrate the method of grad- ln and point out other things of in t to farmers.

The following is the report pre-

lsienled by the Secretary J. A. Gil- es.

SECRETARYB REPORT

To the President, Directors and Patrons of the P. E. I. (Jo-operat- ive Live Stock Marketing Board.

Gentlemen,-

In presenting this annual report

for the second year's business of the Livestock Marketing Board, We do not intend to weary you b'y going too fully into detail of monthly or weekly happenings, but rather’ carry you over the course followed since our last annual meeting held on August 14th, i934, pointing out the pieasantrles and beauty spots encountered by the way. Other experiences lléuaily linger in memory sufficiently long, without being nurtured by frequent subsequent references, Happily however, in the case of your organization our experiences have been mostly pleasant, and ai- though at times perplexing to your management, yet the “times" through which we were passing seemed to be very much in our favor, and we usually ended our weekly manipulations with rather satisfactory results.

In the financial statement that will be presented to you in c. few moments you will notice that op- erating expenses have all but equalled our earnings for the year. The object of your organization ia not to make money for itself, bllt rather for its patrons, and in that respect we feel we have carried on closely within our objective. We would like to haw had a. nice sur- plus in earnings over expenditure,

ut this can be brought about by either one of two ways, that is by an increase in marketing charges or an increase in volume of busi- ness turnover, or by a combination of bot-h. You don't want to have your marketing charges increased. neither dues your management, but we do iivo for the day when we will have a much larger bualneea turnover. When that time arrives we can easily chow you a substan- tial surplus of earnings over ex- penditure. .

v Branched Out

During our- flret year's operations, we carried on to an appreciable ex- tent on oeurlcelea extended by the Provincial Department of Agricul- ture ( from its financial as- sistance and other. ale-operative organisations, but during the aeo- and year we had more courage. born of better prcapeote and we became better armed with equip- mcno, essential to proper office functioning and ill line with the ilmortant work your organisation is carrying ‘on. This we are paying off gradually, and in the incon- tirne. enleylnq in measure the na- ceaelttaa recullwd to conduct a busi- nen office properly. '

In another statement we wiu quote figures that will reflect com- parisons ac to volume handled and mo. thereof aa compared with the

the business year ends it hoidc forth prospects that , t priced will be maintain ‘ and probably

Marketing Scbemc

You will have observed in the reading of the minutes of the last annual meeting reference was

dc to certain matters and re- sol tions passed directing that ac- tion be taken therewith by the directors. Resolution No. Tcalls for organization under the Natural Products Marketing Act. In con- nection with that resolution the committee appointed took action in line with their interpretation of the wishes of the meeting. They found that present marketing methods might well be changed so that your organization would op- erate under the terms of the "Act."

Early in January i985, a meeting of shipping club secretaries and other officials of these organiz- ations woe convened in Crlarlotte- town and the matter thoroughly uisousced from every angle. A com- mittee eonslctlna 0! W- li- MW Gregor, Ernest Houston, Montague Annear, was appointed with in- structions to meet with the Pro- vincial Marketing Board and with this body to draft o. Livestock Mar- keting Scheme under the terms of the "Act," and such scheme to be submitted for approval of pro- ducers at live stock meetings dur- lng Farmers’ Week.

The committee took action in ac- cordance with such instructions. A marketing plan was agreed upon, and prwented at a Joint meeting of the Sheep and Bwine Breeders‘ Associations during Farmers’ Week, and received a. gratifying measure of support. The committee was in- structed to make application to the Fbderai Minister of Agriculture to have this plan reviewed by the Do- minion Marketing Board, and put into operation at the earliest op- portunity. This action has been taken and. at present the Prince Edward island Live Stock Market- ing Scheme is temporarily held up, along with a number of other mar- ketlng plans, until the Supreme Court of Canada will pass Judg- ment upon the validity of the Natural Products Marketing Act.

llall Grading

Resolution No. 3 instructed your directors and management in make representation to the proper auth- orities to have carcass, or rail grading of hogs made possible in this Province and thereupon put its provisions into effect. This has been done and during the month of June, 1935, all hogs handled by your Marketing Board have been sold and paid for on a dressed weight and carcass grading basis. We believe the change will be moot beneficial to the farmer who pro- duces hogs of good type and qual- ity finish.

Resolution Ne. 1 which refers to the necessity for field service, and in line with the disposition there- of, your management endeavoured to put your suggestions into effect as far as finances at its disposal would permit. We are still of the opinion that there is a. great lack of activity in this respect, and pro- vision for supplying the need should have your earnest consider- ation.
