It is provided of course that the farmer has the right to refuse payment if he so wishes. The total amount deducted by the _ plants is then remitted to the Association in trust for the Dairy Farmers of Canada. The plan outlined reduces very consider- ably the amount of bookkeeping involved by the factories as com- paared with actually showing the deduction on each patron’s state- ment. The contribution by “the dairy farmer is a voluntary one but the response for the past two years has been close to 100 per- cent.
POTATO PLANTINGS
As of March 1 the \Dominion Bureau of Statistics reports that Canadian farmers plan to plant fewer potatoes than was the case last year. This province is going to cut back from last year’s 46 thousand acres to something over 40 thousand or 88 percent. For the Maritime Provinces in- tended plantings are 91 percent of last year for Central Canada 98 per cent for Western Canada 106 percent and for all Canada 97 percent.
_ MARKETING VOTE
Until this session of the Legis- lature a marketing Board could not be set up in Ontario without holding a vote on it. An amend- ment. to the Marketing Act at this session removes this com- pulsory feature but provides that a vote on any plan); may be order- ed by the Farm Products Mar-

For a number of years under the Ontario Municipal Act -it has been possible to have dues for the Federation of Agriculture collected by the Township Treas- urer. This privilege was confined to the Federation of Agriculture. This year however, a change has been made in the act which give
the township — where the proper | Neill
authorizations are provided — the auhority to collect dues for any farm organizaion. In some Counties the Municipal Council dispensed with the tax collection system and merely voted a grant to the Federation. Of course the general tax rate would be adjust- ed
HOG AND PORK PRICES
The farmer who sells a hog and then goes into a meat store to buy some pork products is apt to make a mental contrast in the prices which may justify some wonderment on his part. Kk may, however, help him in part to ex- plain this situation if he under- stands that even the entire hog carcass does not command these high prices.
A 210 pound hog will produce a hot weight carcass of approxi- mately 157 pounds. This carcass in turn yeilds 98 pounds of cuts which fall — he high price cate- gory There will be 34 pounds of
w Value products which nor- a fetch about half the car- cass prices of hogs. To finish off the picture here will be 30 pounds that has little or very low value. While all this may not make the purchaser much hap- pier and while it doesn’t com- pletely explain price spreads yet it does point out that something less than half the hog falls in the high priced category. : NEXT MONTH
While it may be a little diffi- cult to realize the fact at the moment the next month is ‘May and that means possibily in six weeks ar less cropping and also it is hoped, pasture for cattle. We have a long winter feeding sea- son in this province and both man and beast look forward with keen anticipation to the time when there is release from the routine of carrying feed to the livestock and the endless chore of cleaning stable. While at the moment there is not much evi- dence of warmth or growth yet the miracle of spring can come quickly and produce a tremen- dous release of both energy and growth.
DRY ROADS
At the moment of writing many dirt roads in the country are showing, even with very little frost out of the ground a surpris- ing tendency to dry up. General- ly the expecation had been for a very muddy season but appar- ently the frozen ground has been exposed so long to wind and sun that much of the moisture has evaporated out of it. he result is that once the frost come out the drying takes place very rapidly.
