British Bacon Requirements During the next 12 months Canada i1 com- mitted to the task of supplying s minimum of 60o million pounds of bacon to the United King- dom. At least 75 per cent of this, and a much more as possible, is to be in the form of Wilt- shire sides. To supply this amount of product will require about 5-2 million hogs, a larger volume than ever before slaughtered in Canada until last year. If absolutely uniform shipments were nmiutained over the 52 Wfiklv 53)’! ‘h: Bacon Board ltulletiir, the product of 100,000 hogs would be required to provide the necessary 11 1-2 million pounds of export bacon per week. Recognizing that hog slaughtering: are normally heavier during the first two quarters of the hog marketing year (Octobcr-hlarch) thus providing the greatest surplus for export during that per- iod, an arrangement has been worked out with the British Ministry of Food to make shipments at the 1veekly average rate of 13 million pounds during the first quarter, 11 r-2 million pounds during the second (martcr, and 1o 1-2 million pounds during the third and fourth quarters. Under this plan a considerable saving will be effected in storage, as considerably less product will have to be placed i11 freezers to maintain shipments next s1m1111<~r 1111111 would otherwise be the case. lI<1\vc1-'c1', 111111vitl1standing this pro- gram, the total nmount to be stored this year will be considerably in cxccss of last ycar.

The higher hog prices and more fayourablt relationship between hog and fecd prices prevail- ing in recent 1110111115, indicate that the fall and wintcr of 1941 may show :1 1110dcrate incrcas: in the number oi sows bred, especially in 1111215 with a good feed supply.

The itiugistrzite adjourned a truancy case with which he was dealing ‘to enable the father to assert himself.’ " Ill Ill i Ill Although the Latin term "cx-cathcdra” means nowadays "by virtue of ouc’s office," hence, “with authority," it is still used in its literal senso-“from the chair"—in the British Parlia- ment. For example, the Speaker of the House of Commons the other day expressed his opi11- ion that it was not out of ordcr to discuss 011 ad- yournment any matter which would entail legis- lation, but in doing so he left his chair, which meant that he was expressing a. personal opin- ion. For this reason the old rule, that such an act was “out of order” continued to be observed. for on a succeeding day the Speaker restrained M. P.’s who wished to urge the amendment of Regulation 18B and the nationalization of the railways, holding that both would require leg- islation, In the view of the Chair, the term "legislation" covers defense regulations as well as bills. If the Speaker took a different view, the old rule about adjournment debates would become a dead letter. \Vifh the wide powers the government now possesses, an .\‘I. P. could argue that practically any suggestion put for- ward could be carried through without recourse to legislation. u a n w A disciple of Hess has met with s fate which he himself has so far escaped.

FARM PRODUCTION PROBLEMS Sln-Perhn s this reader may comment br cfly on the general problem “how to keep Canadlan Agriculture in production," to which a variety of references have been made on the Guardian's edltorlal pages? _'1'o begin with, I ugrcc with the viewpoint expressed by Miss Agnes Macphail, who is reported to have told the Federation of Agriculture twatcrloo County Ont): “People are leaving the fsnns in terrlflc numbers. The amount of food wlll lessen and the 112111111111 will increase. The 1110191150 in the farm DYICCS has been absorbed by the increased cost of the necessities the farlner must buy. It ts all right to freeze prices as long as there Ls an equa 1y of price-levels. . . . ” In a news Item from New York, In the columns of your Toronto 00n- tcmporary tDnily Star), 1 see this reference to the speed-up policy as a result of war in the United States: “It spells fnstlci" material production. new factory construc- tion, a tighter materials squeeze for civilian goods industries expanding employment to provide continuous round-fho-clnck factcljv operations, and a struggle for manpower be- tween the factories and the armed forces. . . ." I would draw your urban readers’ sttcntlon to the "stmggle for man- power" which has boon ln full flood for better 1111111 2 years in Canada. between the factories 11nd the arm- ed forces and the farms!
