BEEF CATTLE The greatest dc elopment in live stock in the state has been in beef cattle, which numbered 1.386.000 on Jail 1st. 1954. notwithstanding that in 1953 some 566,000 cat- tle were slaughte ed and about 87.- 000 shipped out of the state.

The serious losses in pro- duction experienced by some mink ranchers as a result of feeding chicken waste containing pellet residues of Stilbestrol. makes mink ranchers aware of the dan- gers ol misuses of this chemical. A special group of steers has been fed Stilbestrol at Iowa State College for slaughter. The steers unsettled, and the trade finds it difficult to quote any set price. The demand has been exceeding- ly good. but to-day seems to be just a bit easier. Since reporting last week 63.909 bushels of seed potatoes have left the Province. Turnips are quoted to-day at 55 cents per bushel at the car. and the demand is fair. LIVESTOCK Cattle trading on the Montreal Good 1500 to 16.00; Medium 13.00 to 15.00; Common 10.00 to 12.00.

Farmers say that with a favorable run-off and light rains, seeding conditions should be just about perfect. However, most farmers say it's a little too early to be optimistic. Seeding is another month away for much of the country and there is optimistic about an early start at seeding. "There is a little too much moisture in some districts." an ag- ricultural department official re- ported. "We will be fortunate if we have a normal seeding season. It is likely to start in the middle of April or even later." However, there was little frost in the ground because of heavy snows during the winter.

Mulhern will say. an increase in the fox fur tariffs and the importation of import quotes are necsssa y. Mr. Harman will explain that fox fur farmers will not be able to flu- ance the necessary advertising and promotions unless the tariff is hiked, rather than reduced. as a result of the current Geneva negotiations. A despatch from Ottawa states that January fur sales in Canadian department stores were 17.2 per cent higher than in 1954. January Iales stood at 82,012,000 as against . . nt over 1940.

COLLEGE STUDENTS An estimated 07.500 full - time students are enrolled in Canada's fluid milk has increased enormous- iy. due not only to the increase in population. but to the large number of tourists who benefit from its winter vacation attrac- tions. This is shown in a sum- mary taken from the annual re- port of the Florida State Market- ing Bureau. These extracts'in- dicate the trend: "In 1951 Florida's farmers were milking 137,000 cows an increase of 35.6 per cent over the number of cows milked in 1940 The volume of milk produced on Florida dairy farms increased from 343,000,000 to 603,000,000 pounds or approximately 711 per cent."
