There ls not much to report from any other sections on livestock, but there seems to be a keen an- ticipation of prices leading up- to the Easter trade. There is some suggestion of establishing first a common market at Charlottetown through which livestock sales at auction may be held from time to time. There are also recommen- dations that a livestock Fat Show be held in this Province. Both these suggestions have considerable merit, and will be investigated ful- ly in due course. It is believed that both these innovations would help to sustain prices on a grade and quality level and would materially assist in establishing consumer de- mand for graded beef. In connection with hog develop- ments in the Province the year 1948 has been an exceptionally fine swine production ytear. Our total hog production has reached well over 125,000 hogs of all kinds and it is anticipated that the 1949 level will be even better. E DAIRY INDUSTRY There is not much to report in the dairy industry at the present time. As announced last week act- ion was taken which temporarily at least suspends the sale and dis- tribution of margarine in this Pro- vince. The whole situation is very obscure in relation to the future of this vexing question. No doubt some specific recommendations will come from the Dairy Farmers of Canada, whose annual meeting is now under way. In the meantime arguments, pro and con. are quite interesting. The effect of any pro- vision allowing the distribution and sale of a mantifactttred product must be viewed in the light of its ultimate affect on tllc economy and general welfare of the nation's food supplies and of its citizens. A l. t contacted Mr. W.A- Currie, as- ’ _ sistartt Provincial Commissioner, var-v “Tenn '"‘°5“g““°n “M and discussed lcouung plans m understanding is desirable before any ultimate decisions are reached in a matter of such grave impor- tance. Prlces of butter are prac- tically the samo as last week, namely. 6916c delivered Charlotte- town. The demand in Nova Scotia centers for Island prints seems to be quite strong. The storage posi- tion of butter in comparison with 1947 is considerably improved. The estimated storage in Prince Ed- ward Island is approximately 415.- 000 this year as compared with 226,000 at the some period last year, while storages in Nova Scotla nntl New Brunswick are also substan- tially above lest year's levels. t 0 Z POTATOES The market on potatoes seems to evidence a revived interest with a general strengthening indication and disposition on the part of farm- ers to demand a price at least equal to support levels. We com- mend our farmers in this connec- tion. There is no need of sacrific- ing potatoes under present condi- tlons.
