The Effect Of Grading On

Canada's Food Products

ther it was a real delicacy or s high- ly scented disgusting mess when the shell was cracked. It seemed reas- onable then to think that if the far- mer who produced good butter was- pald, say forty cents a. pound and‘ he who‘ put up s bad article was? paid only twenty cents apound then soon there would be something doing in thc way oi improvement in cer- tain dairies. 1t seemed only right. too that the persnn who put fresh new laid eggs on the market should be better paid, much better paid. than he who saved his eggs 1n times oi heavy production and put them on the market in time of scarcity, high smelling or half hatched as was often done. _

It was felt too that this same prin- ciple should maintain right down the line. _

It should be stated that this prin- ciple was really accepted or put into practice many years ago so far as wheat and grains were concerned but it was not until comparatively rec- ently that any one seemed to think it might and should be applied to other products.

The first article other than cereals to receive serious attention was eggs. Action locking to the improvement oi our eggs by this means dates back to about 1918. The

ago, today Canadian giggs oi the

The result of this improvement Canadian egg production has more than doubled in a little ovcr s dc- cade. Canadian eggs have made a name for themselves in quality, and consumption of eggs in Canada has increased enormously. Each person in Canada used to eat about fifteen or sixteen dozen eggs in the your. now each person eats over thirty dozen in the same time. When onc takes into consideration then thc iii- crcascd population of the Dominion and the immcnsc tourist traffic from the south onc can understand what. has happened to our export trade in this article. It has practically dis- appeared. This is regrettable from one standpointF-wc need the export trade-but it is highly satisfactory from another-it shows what quality in any article does. local sales m- ‘crease immensely. with n good reputation at home and abroad and a people more interested iii poultry and better capable oi handling them

may be best. indicated by the state- ment that Canadian bacon was com- monly qunted at from six to eight dollars s hundredwclirht less than thc Danish article. After much effort and endless discussion our present system oi hog grading (approximately) was gmtcn underway. Today Canadian bacon not infrequently commands as high a price ss the Danish and oc- casionally higher, while thc spread is never more than a dollar or so per cwt. in favor of the Danish and this in spite of the fact that our expofll‘ hsve isllon off w such an extent that the supply is very uncertain and therefore prices which result. from demand are perforce falling off. The British consumer likes what he is uaedto. andsoif notsssuredofs steady supply oi the Canadian article takes the next best Danish, which is always svsllble equal to the demand. Here again as in the case oi eggs improvement of quality has lcd to in- crease domestic demand with the rc- sult, indicated, there is less and less being left for export w Crest Britain. although production has, “mi-iii; speaking, been gruluslly increasing.

The effect has been quite all i that was hoped for in improving thc i quality of our produce and in improv- i fng the reputation oi our cheese at, new on the BritLsli market. So m‘ '; as butter is concerned it, has not, sf- ‘ fcctcd our foreign trade, for we sell but little abroad. ‘ l Our cheese in 1923 and ior some , time previously had been selling from v ‘one to two cents a pound less than '1 New Zcalsnd.
