Our Educational Outlook

Reference was made in Tuesdays issue to lie official Canadian Agricultural Program for 1946, which was announced in summary form f°ll°wiflll l" allficultural conference at Ottawa

, last December, the full text of which has now been published in pamphlet form by the Agri- culture Supplies Board of the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. about 50 pages, and contains a wealth of sta- tistical rnattei‘ as well as textual references. The followinlg excerpts give only the high spots of the report, which is_ recommended to all agricultural readers as one of great interest and

It is suggested that in 1946 a greater per- centage 0f wheat and barley acreage might well be sown on stimmcr-falloiv. The world deinarfd for livestock products is still strong and Can- adian agriculture would be improved by main- taining production of livestock products at as high a level as possible. At the same time the decrease in the production of hogs can only be arrested if there is an increase in the production 0f feed grains.

A wheat acreage of 23,414,000 for the whole

'of Canada and 22,566,000 for the Prairie Prov- iikes is suggested fnr 19.16. in» the latter jirovinccs the wheat acreage may expand somewhat at the expense of oats, but In expected increase jilzlntcd to coarse grains in , Ontario and Quebec will tend to offset this at possibility. In barley, the greatest possible ‘acreage is desired this year. At least 8,000,000 acres for all‘ Canada is recommended. » An objective of six million h0g5 has been let for the inspected slaughter in 1946. This is ‘the minimum number which would piake possible completion of the contract with the United .9840"! 501-450 million pounds of bacon, and he same time provide supplies on a rationed iestic market at a level which should pre-

In potatoes, the recommendation ages "a normal situation of reasonably small exports and imports." For canning crops, it is regarded as likely that renewed export outlets will be found for some of these products of the 1946 and subsequent packs.
