Policy Result of 4 Years Intensive Study in Drought Districts.

OTTAWA, Feb. 6—(C.P.)—Back- cd by the best information of ex- of Agri- culture, thn Dominion Government is preparing to launch a program early this spring which it hopes will deal effectively with the crit- ical problem of drought areas of the three Prairie Ihovixlces. Hon. Robert Weir, Minister of Agricul- ture outlined plans in the House oi Commons today.

The program will be administer- ed by the Department of Agricul- ture as a solely federal undnrtaking. Arr advisory committee, Weir told the house, of successful ranch- ers, wheat farmers and business men, would be appointed to assist tlvr department ill conduct and development of the plans.

For four yours department ex- perts have been studying conditions which affect fully 10.00.1000 acres in the thrre provinces. Figures sub- mitted by thc Minister showed that in 1933 drought aifevlvd 11,435,000 acres to such an extent that it pro- duced less than fivc bushels ofi grain to the arr-c.

Plans the yzovrrrrmcnt will put in operation. it is claimed, will change the entire landscape in many sec- tlons of Saskatchewan. Alberta and survey has been CoftﬂDlctcd and all drtails worked ou .

Kernel of the project will be demonstration areas selected in various sections of dried-out dis- tricts. Farmers of a. dried-out township will be invitnd to co-oper- ate. If they agree, and those who have worked on the plans say the settlers will be offered such terms that they will bra girrd to pgyee, than the administration of the township will be taken over and manage-cl as one un.t..

The farmers will form a commit- tee which will have advice not only 0f agricultural experts but thr: best engineering advice the depart- ment can obtain. A tovmship is 36 square mllcs. This is regarded as a sufficiently large area t0 counter- act local conditions and serve as a demonstration to all adjacent

steltlddirlﬁﬂsmr-wd

townships.

The Dominion will provide trees. grass seed. fodder where ncressary in developing mixed farming or ranches and other facilities. The farmers will provide labor and b: entitled to all the revenue. It is b2- lieved by organized methods the farmers will be able to make much more than by individual efforts. Water storage will be provided on every farm.

"N0 Comment On J udgds Ruling In Bronfman Case

U. P. By Guardian's Special WIN) OTTAWA. Feb. 5—Oﬂ1cia1s of the justice and national revenue de- partments refused t0 comment on the judgment rendered in Montreal today by Iidlr. Justice Desmaris 0h one of the points in the charge 88- ainst the Bronfman brothers and about 60 others of conspiracy to smuggle liquor. The Judge's ruling was in effect that it was no crime in Canada to export liquor to a pro- hibition country.

The charges go back as far as i926 and there were some chaﬂgeﬂ tin Canadian liquor export laws dur- iing that period.

Before 1921. rum runners car-wins Canadian liquor into the United States generally paid the full ex- cise duty levied on liquor for dom- ‘estic consumption. The Canadian glow provided that liquor for eXfwﬁ need not bear this ievy. but to take advantage of such exemption the exporters had to put up a bond double what the excise duty would be and get it back when he proved he had really taken the liquor out of the country.

The only way he could do this was to present a, landing certiﬁcate from the authorities of the coun- try in which the liquor was landed. As the smugglers were not hob- rrobbing with the authorities of the United States they could not get such certiﬁcates and so paid the duly.

In June, i930. the export act was amended, stopping this direct traf- fic. Clearances of liquor were re- fused to a prohibition country. The result was that the ﬂow of liquor wont to St. Pierre. Miquelon, where landing certiﬁcates could be ob- tained. Thc flow continued bv the roundabout course to a. c~""in ex- tent and the Dominion lost the rov- BTIUC.

Will Appeal 0n Grain Rateilharges

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) (YITAWA, Feb. 5~Formal appli- cation cf appeal has been made by Thomas Reid (Lib. Westminster) to the cabinet council against the ma- jority finding of the board of rail- way commissioners ill correction with rztles on iced grain and mill feed going from the Prairies for lo- cal consumption in British Colum- bia. At present the rate on feed grain and mill feed from Edmon- ton or Calgary to Vancouver for export is 20 cents per 100 lbs. and if consumed in British Columbia 50 percent more in the case of grair. and 100 percent more in the case of mill feeds. Acting for the province of Brit- ish Columbia and certain livestock organizations. Mr". Rcid contended before the railway commission the rate on grain and mill feed should be the same when for domestic consumption as for export. The railway commissioners split on the decision, acting chief commisioner S. J. McLean and commissioner C. A. Stone refused the application and commissioner J. A, Stonehom concurred. Deputy chief commis- fioner '1‘. Nap. Garceau and commis- {ioner T. C. Nrrris were in favor of murdering lower rates. In his appeal to the cabinet Mr. Reid pleads that the grain for ex- port is carried in the same cars run by the same train crews as the grain for domestic consumption. The milwnv companies had failed to prove that the rates for export nrnln were unrcmuncrntlve and nr- ‘cofrlinglv it should be ruled fnir. if the export. rates were remuner- ntive the railways should be com- ‘nclled in c'"r_v domestic grain for Iihe same rates.

‘JAPANESE SPONSOR HUGE PULP PROBE!

TOKYO, Feb. 6-4President Ariga. of the Industrial Bank, has arrived in Keijo (Seoul) capital of Chosen tiforea», to negotiate with the gov- ernment there regarding a project to establish a. wood-pulp factory in Kankyo Hokudo province. The cap- ital proposed is 20,000,000 yen.

The project is sponsored by 15 loading Japanese business men. in- cluding, besides Mr. Ariga, Ginjiro Fujiwara and shintarn Chashl. paper mill magrlates, and lﬁrsajlro Abe, of Osaka, chairman of the Japan Cotton Spinners’ Federation.

Back of the enterprise also are some l0 prominent business men in Chosen, including Tasaburn. As- sno, Boku Ekitsu, a Korean; and Hléeiiro Yoshida. With this pow- erful support it is anticipated the enterprise will come into being in the not distant future. wood will be obtained from the large forests of Koren. _ 'I‘he demand for pulp is always greater than the domestic supply and is constantly increasing owing to the mounting demands of the rayon industry which has climbed to great importance in Japan in recent years. more is also a (‘n-

port demand, to our hog industry is emphasized by the fact that a1- though out of our total production in 1934 we exported only 20 percent, ms whole production, i.e. the 00 percent and the 20 pcr cent shared equally in the hog Price unprove- merit.

DINE PURSES Less than half original price.

ducer 1n the rate of liquidation,‘ and the restraint evident time and time again saved the mlcket from disasterous slumps. Undoubtedly. the very low level of retail prices brought about a sharp increase in domestic consumption and allowed of a very free movement of beef out of coolers, thereby making way for fresh sup lies. Another strong contributing tor was the enter- prise shown by the packing indus- try in moving considerable volumes of beef on export.

Effect of Quota Restrictions on Canadian and Danish Exports

As a result of unrestricted access to the British market, Canadian bacon exports increased 52 percent over i933, while, under quota res- trlctions, Danish exports decreased 22 percent from i983.

The 1934 Ho; Run was Slightly Under 1983

The hog run to yards and plants during the year was approximately 135,000 ulldcr 1933, a. decrease of about 4.2 percent. The decrease was due to the disabilities under which a section or sections of the country undertook production, as a result of a shortage of fer-d and other de- pressing factors arising out of drought conditions.

Produccrs showed strong confi- dence in hogs tlroughout the year. despite the depressing factors of short crops and higher feed prices, and insofar as conditions will per- mit this confidence in hogs should result in some improvement in pro- duction volume by the close of 1935. The Federal Department of Agri- culture reports a good demand for improved qualities of breeding stock, and prices have been quite strong for feeder hogs since the close of the year. There is nothing in the situation. however, to warrant expectations of liberal runs during the early part of i935.

Decﬂﬂher Cattle Prices

December cattle prices Were siighty higher than during Novem- ber but about the same as during the corresponding month o1‘ i933 on the top end. but functionally lower. as compared with December i933. on the average of all grades. ‘This situation was due to an increase in the percentage of medium and common stock.

The practical top at Toronto dur- ing the mouth of December was $6. at Montreal $5.50. at Winnipeg $4.50. at Calgary $4.50, Edmonton $4.50. Moose Jaw t4, and Saskatoon around 54-00.

The store cattle trade was mostly quiet, prices closing for the month not very much different from the year previous.

December was cold but there was plenty of snow, and wder and feed were generally in good supply. so that cattle should winter through in first. class condition. Neverthe- less, there are some districts that experienced a. poor crop season in 1934, and despite the advantages 0f a long autumn. coupled with a wonderful recovery of pastures, there are considerable economies necessary to oeny cattle through the winter.

The 1934 Cattle Market Showed Some Recovery

There was some improvement in the condition of the cattle market clue in the main to an increase in domestic consumption of low priced beef and a, pickup to bee! exports. 'I'here was an increase in the move- ment of live cattle tp the United Kingdom of approximately 3,070 head, but the volume all told amounted to less than 54,000. While the removal of this volume out of domestic channels was beneficial, it represented only u small percentage of the annual surplus over and above domestic needs. "t thus af- fords a very vivid contrast to hogs, which, as a result or an unrestricted export outlet, sold the entire sur- plus to the export market. Roughly, the exportable surplus of cattle may be placed at about 200,000 head.

Under the Ifwst favorable condi- tions, the swrplus might be around 250,000 head. It is obvious that, use- ful w; are the existing outlets, other than domestic demand w hich remains reasonably stable, they are not at present s ufficientiy wide to put the cattle industry on a. gen- crltily profitable basis such as is the s ituation in hogs. ‘This situation is rcceiveing a good deal of responsible nitention. particularly in view of the conditions which are likely to obtain inthe British market in res- pect of total imports of meats. During the first three months of 1935. it is armed that Canadian ex- ports of cattle and meats (not in- eluding uacon nnd hams» will bc substantially the same ns during the same quarter of 1034.

Decreases in Inspected Slaughter- ings of Lambs

There was a small decrease in the foal slaughterings of sheep and lambs under inspection. The de- creases were confined to Quebec and the Maritime Provinces. which were sufficiently heavy to offset in- creases in Ontario. Mhnitoba, Sask- atchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. Siaughterings were in total about 6.000 up for the month of December but 14.000 down for the year 1934, and, as has already been pointed out, the decline is very small, the v ' of inspected slaughter-lugs may have been af- fected to some extent by heavier local and farm killed.

During the month "of December. the lamb market opened strong at Toronto, with good natives up to $7.75 and westerns to $7.85. The supply eventually became too heavy for seasonal demand. and the price declined to $7. During the closing week, with only a handful of lambs offered, prices recovered to a top of $7.50. Montreal advanced from $6.57 to $7 and closed at $0.75 for tops. Winnipeg opened firm up to $6.50 and closed at a practical top of $6. Calgary lambs were steady up to $5.25. Edmonton closed firmer up to $5.50, and Moose Jaw held steady, with one deck at $5.50.

Substantial Increase in Cattle slaughterlngs December Ho; Markets Werﬂ Active Inspected lrlaughterings of cattle showed an increase of 150,000 head over the twelve months of 1933, and as well there was an increased slaughtering of calves amounting to approximately 94,010 head. Alto- yzsther, therefore, the inorelse in cutie and calf slaughter was ap- proximately 250,000 head over the previous year. These increases were due to larger marketings by the western provinces, and in part to some premature liquidation as ll result of drought. Sla-ughterings in Ontario were much heavier than a year ago, not entirely through in- creases in the sale of native cattle. There were 4,000 more western csttle on the Toronto yards during the year, while the shipments from Western Canada, to eastern pockets amounted to 25.000 head over» the previous you". all of which, however, were not slaughtered in Ontario.‘ There were more ploklnl plants under inspection during the you. and this was responsible for port of the increase. slauehterlnze in plantl in the Prairie Provinces were substantially heavier, and one 0f the "n; features of t‘:m_ western marekt situation, particu- ""’ "“"‘%;'..“’§.J."‘ hi’.

At 'I‘cronto. December sales were fewer than a yea: ago, and the year's sales were down about 20,- 000 head. While the market opened weak, it gained steadily to close at $8.50 for bacorrs, off cars, or 81.50 above the close of i933. 1.0.8. hogs closed at 87.75. Mon l ldvnnced to $8.25 by the third week, but fell off to t8, or 25 cents above the opening price, for bscons, Land w. Winnipeg staged a good perfor- mance under a fairly liberal volume spwgsined 75 cents to close st $7.25. Calgary sold unevenly higher, with a top of $7.35, off trucks. and $7.46 off curs, for batons. Edmonton moved steadily upward ffoua 80-45 W close at $0.95 and l7 for bseons, f. aw. Moose Jaw had l very good hog market and advanced '10 cents to close at t7. and it, was surprising to find increases in sup- plies over December i938. Saskatoon advanced ‘f5 cents in close at 80.00 for bacons, f. d: w. Selects made 41.00 per head premium at all markets.

com-pared with a your ego, cattle exports were 1,200 head fewer, beef more than twice as much. bacon 50 percent more, pork souwwhat less, and canned meats five times as much.

Total Exports, 1934

Cattle exports for the year were 58.952 head, or 3,500 more than in 1933; beef exports 11,494,100 ma, or 4,300,070 tbs. up; bacon 119,707,600 10s., or 48,000,000 tbs. up; pork 1.- 277.200 tbs, or 840,010 lbs. down; mutton and lambs 34,500 lbs, or 58.- 000 lbs. down; and canned meats 1,181,211 lb5.. 0r 540,000 Ibo. up. Off- setting the decrease in pork exports to the United Kingdom were sub- stantial increases to the United States. '

The British ‘lumen

It is interesting to note that the general index number of agricul- tural produce was 113 percent, or three points above December 1933 and l’) cents above December 1932. If allowance were made for pay- ments under the Wheat Act and the Cattle industry Act. the index for December 1934 would be percent. During the month, fat sheep and cattle were slightly dear- er, and there was also some im- provement in pigs. Unfortunately, fat cattle did not show the usual substantial incxease in price dur- ing the month, and average values were "only slightly dearer than in November. Store cattle were a lit- tle cheaper, but store pigs showed some improvement. Bacon pigs were about firm.

At the opening of a new your, cattle seem to be in the least sat- isfactory condition of any class of commercial live stock. Low prices prevail for dairy produce, especially butter. and the store cattle trade is mostly unsatisfactory. Assistance through the cattle fund has no doubt beneﬂtted the indmtry sub- stantially, but in respect to the reg- ulation of imports of meat, it is felt that this has been more theor- atioai than actual, since during the first eleven months of the yeu- im- ports were 600,000 cwts more than for the same period in 1933, while the importations of pork were near- ly half a million cwts. more, and mutton and lamb only a quarter of a million cwts. less, so that in com- peting classes of meets. imports have been largely in excess of i933. 1n respect to increases in the beef supply, Australia sent more than two-thirds of the increase as frozen and boned beef.

The United States Market

The commeroiuLcattla situation ir the United States is probably bright- er today than for n number o‘ years past. The market durlrr i934 showed sham price rallies afte the opening months, despite ih" setting of new records in the mat ter of slaughter volume. The lr
