That the industry was entitled to the same type of protection as afforded other industries was p iniy stated and steps taken to this question to the :tt.icni- . . of the Federal Government uiiaiiiiiioiisiy agreed upon.

Hog Problems

Three important matters af- fecting the hog lndtislry were t'..sciis.-ed at the annual meeting: the most contentious was a strong demand from the west that rail or live grading should be optional at the choice of the producer. East- ern delegates were strongly op- poscd on the grounds that such a inere would eventually lower the quility of hogs and not result in any more money for the produc- (T5.

The west maintained that rail grading was forcing practically all. links through the large packlnzl plants and weakening their bar- gaining position. It appeared toihc cast that the real problem in the west was one of marketing-it con- dition for which rail grading was perhaps mistakingly being held responsible.

Agreement was finally reached on the point of recommending live trading for hogs being exported to the United States.

Recommend- ations were that a floor price of 32800 a hundred 131 hogs at Win- "llieit be asked for. This would be in the vicinity of 336.00 a hundred

Turnip Seed - Situation

This coming spring will probably see Registered Laurentian Turnip Seed scarccr than it has ever been previously. With our rapidly growing business we are finding it very difficult to secure enough to fill the needs of our regular customers and the large number of new ones we take on each year. Therefore in all fairness we feel this season we will have to refuse orders that reach us for turnip seed alone and would ask those who wish to purchase other garden seeds as well, to send for our Catalogue and if a general order is placed with us at a reasonably early date, we shall see each new customer receives his quota of this scarce item also.
