lioviews Battle, Feed Production

HON. J . G. GARDINER

lvfinistgr of Agriculture who gave a. review of cattle, hQ] find feed production at last night's session of the House of Commons. H»: said that the question had been raised as to whether rationing would hamper production.

The Government contended that the amount of meat which would be supplied to Europe through ra- tioning would be far greater than any drop in production that ration- ing might bring about.

whlls Canada's meat production was doubling from i838 to 1045. the domestic consumption was in- creased by 50 per cent. Production of meat in 1943 was about the same as this year, but exports would be greater and home consumption les this year. The production in 1943 and 1945 was the peak that was possible under normal conditions

"I can tell the House that unless there is a better crop in 1046 than there is this year it will be absci- utelv inlpomiblc in IIIOFGISE live- stock production before the end 0i‘ 1948." said Mr. Gardiner.
