demand for dairy foods plus var- ious kinds of farm legislation have indeed improved the picture.
“However, in spite of some gen- eral improvement there should be no tendency toward over ‘op-
‘timism. Rather, leaders in gov- ernment and the dairy industry stress the necessity for taking the long term, as well as the short term view of the problems and policies if the industry is to re- main in balance. Greatest stress is laid on the necessity for farm organizations to remain constant- ly alert so that the gains of 1957 are not lost in 1958.
FLOOR PRICE p
“Whereas Dairy Farmers of Ca-
nada appreciates the past ef- -forts of the Canadian government to stabilize the butter market with a floor price of 58 cents a pound effective until April 30, 1958 and
Whereas the principle of floor prices for agricultural products implies periodic adjustments to fit shifting economic factors, and
Whereas present costs are ex- erting undue pressure on'produc- ers, Resolved that the Canadian government he asked to set a new floor price for butter of 64 cents a pound effective May 1, 1958; and further tha carrying charges be added to the resale price of government held butter.
“Whereas ~concen-trated milk producers appreciate the action of the Canadian government in es- tablishing a floor price of 17 cents a pound for spray process skim milk powder and 14 cents a pound for roller powder, and Whereas these prices have given a measure of relief to producers in this section of the industry.
Resolved that the existing sup- port price for skim milk powder be allowed -to remain at least at the present levels; and further that existing import controls gov- erning skim milk powder be main- tained.
DR. HANNAM
A welcome visitor with the D Farmers was Dr. Hannam who in hisaddress to the convention noted encoura.ging signs and im- proved prospects. Dr. Hannam made a number ‘of predictions and enumerated some of the pol- icies which he felt should help dairymen.
The position and outlook for the dairy industry is better today than it has been for years. The dairy farmers position is still consider- ably below parity, b
a. The supply situation for milk products is more favourable.
b. The demand for milk prod- ucts is good — fairly strong.
c. Improvement in national pol- icies during the Past y€ai‘_ h3V9

d. The outlook for the V931‘

than at any time in recent years. ' e. Serious dairy surpluses do not overhang the world market as’ was the case several years ago. ‘
SUPPLY-"
A steady and healthy increase in milk production is underway. This is a sound development be- cause it is being produced by more milk per cow rather than by more cowsmilking.
The increase in milk supply is about in line with the increase in population in Canada —— and most of the new arrivals are milk con- sumers. _
It means consumption demands are moving up in a fair, balance with rising production. In fact total milk consumption in Can- ada is likely to keep slightly a- head of total milk production this year. 1 . BUTTER
Production of butter will in- crease during 1958 but it will not likely be until toward the end of the year that production will catch up with consumption re- quirements.
Stocks of butter on May 1st last year were 36.8 million pounds. On May 1st this year butter stocks may be down 10 ,million pounds - somewhere around 24'to 28 mil- lion. .
By the end of 1958 butter stocks may be much the same as the end of 1957 perhaps slightly lower
Consumption of fluid milk and ice cream is expected to increase this year also.
CHEESE ,
Some milk may swing from cheese to butter this yea causing a definite decrease in cheese pro- duction. Will be welcome in view of the cheese stocks position.
Diversion of milk from some concentrated products should im- prove the market position of those products, as with cheese, without causing serious difficul- ties or lowered prices for other milk products where production is on an -uptrend.
Thus the overall picture of the dairy industry for 1958 is one of supply being pretty well in bal- ance with demand approximately at price levels which have pre- vailed during recent months. There is a possibility that price levels for dairy products will be a shade stronger di;:li_, the year if dry skim milk position is not too troublesome.
Improvement in programs for dairy products —- During ti e past year government action take to
improve the economic position of the dairy industry has removed a good deal of uncertainty and instability for dairy producers. There were -the following
1. Amendments to marketing legislation, both federal and pro- vincial (0ntariol, which will ena- ble producers under orderly mar- keting plans to make deductions and build up funds for equalizing returns to producers.
2. Providing supports under dried skim milk designed to bol- ster returns for milk in the bad-
Mrs. Mary Jane Hadlock has died in Whitman, Mass. Mrs,
Hadlock was Mary Jane Aitken of Lower Montague and is well re- membered in Little Sands and High Bank because she taught school in High Bank about 50
ly needed low price categories.
3. Import controls on skim milk powder.
4. Import controls of cheddar cheese. ‘
5. Import controls on butter oil.
6. Increasing to 63 cents per pound the support board’s selling price for butter. While this is not actually an increase in the sup‘- port price. it has resulted in as- suring cream producers a higher winter price for cream. .
FARM FORUM
L a st Saturday .‘ the nation. al board of Farm Forum met in Montreal to consider the future of a program which has, almost un- changed for eighteen years, serv- -ed the interests and held the atten- tion of many thousands of rural Canadians.
Recommendation were propos- ed which would lead to farm more flefiibility in the program and might .see. the listening groups meetmg once a month rather than weekly.
Administration will likely be changed to price the responsibil- lty of financing the national of- fice on the national sponsors while the provincial ones will look after promotion at home.
Agreement was generally that farm people should have a na- tional radio and television pro- gram and that e’-éry effort should be made to continue the listening and discussion groups. '
In any event farm forum people can expect for the next season some face liftihg in a study pro- gram’ which has served Canada as well for 18 years.
