JTEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29. 1933 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE Enjoy Broadcasts Foster Hewitt ami his Ocneral Motors broadcasts of hockey Kanies are growintr in |K>pularity all the lin^. PoopAe who never saw « hockey game have become enthused over the action displayed by the play- ers in each game, as relayed by Fost- er. Interest is paramount right from cldirly ladies and men down t« the boys and girls of six years of age So much interest has been aroused by lhes«. broadcasts that many faOi travel to Toronto frequently to see th« Maple Leafs in action and to set- foi themselves the great hockey disheo up by both visitors and home teams The advantage of buying one gallon of gas at a time is that you never get one loss than you pay for. They have had zero weather in the West, and ju-st as we were getting a lump in the throat to feel sorry for the folk there, we recalled that they never felt cold. Impo rtant Notice FA.MILEX To everyone with whom I have been doing business, during the past year, has been revised a plan, whereby you can secure the be.st products on the market at a reduction from the reg- ular price as staled in the Catalogue, which I have to offer at your request. I will agree to discount 10*:^ on every product that you may have to purchase, which, I think is a splendid idea; I have arranged for every- one, who wishes to get the best, and to enable my patrons, and others, who would like to take advantage of this offer, and also save money in this time of depression when money is } needed so much. | Please ask for the premium card I have already given to a number ot people, where if they buy a certain amount of products, a certain portion of their buying will bo given to them absolutely free in whatever products vou are in need of. Think of those special inducements that I am offering to all those who want to save money. So those of you who are out of town, or in the village, who would like to give my products a fair trial under this new |)lan that I have arranged for your benefit, I will appreciate your kind- ness very much. I have a number of catalogues hei'e in stock and they are yours, if you will ask for them. Yours sincerely â€" J-AMES STAFFORD, Familex Dealer. Locating The Trouble A steady rain drummed incessantly on the shingles of the ibarn and made ever-widening puddles in the mudity lane. Albert was mixing feed on the barn-floor and Eliza crouched near him, her eyes glittering in the dim light and her tail twitching eoccitedly us she watched for the mouse that might suddenly dart from the bin Billie sat on a pile of empty sacks busily whittling away at a piece 01 wood with the brand new pock&t Knife that he had been given for hi« oirthday. The click of the latch on- the barr !oor heralde;! the arrival of the Boss: â- 'Hitch up the buggy will you, Albert," lie said, "I have to go into town to meet the interest on the note I gave for the new binder." Eliza relaxed as Albert's depar- ture put an eriti to mouse hunting foi a while. She jumped up on the pile of sacks beside Billie and curled her- self up beside him. "Strange thing," she lazily consid- ered, "Boss buys a now binder, pays a high price for it, far more than it costs to build, and then, since the high cost makes it impossible for him to pay cash for it, he has to pay extra money to people who had noth- ing to do with making it and will have nothing to do with using it and have probably never seen it. No wonder the farmers have a rotten time, they have not only to support themselve.'', to support a whole class of people who buy their produce to sell again to the people who want it to eat, but they also have to support men who live on the fact that they I .nre desperatey hard up and have to I make use of their services to be able ! to feed their fellowmen. Seems to me that there's something very wrong somewhere and if I was a farmer I'd take pretty quick action to find out what it was."

Letter to Farmers and All Interested in Developing Our Export Bacon Trade Heavier and Finished Hogs In the 45 weeks of 1933, to the week e.^ding November 9th, hog deliveries have been 2,660,000 comparc<i with 2,571,000 in the same period of 1932. Hog deliveries for the wetk of Nov- umber 9th, 1933, were 64,700 compar- ed with 50,300 for the corresponding week of 1932. In the same time the price of bacon hogs has advanced from 13.70 to $6.00 per hundred lbs. on the Toronto market. Thus hog deliveries have increased and the do mestic price of pork products has con siderably advanced. Along with this condition in pork products beef prices have fallen to low levels and domestic consumption :s shifting from pork to beef. This is restricting the domestic outlet for pork. But the Ottawa Conference agreements have provided an a.ssurcd outlet for bacon. For the nine months to end of Sept&mber, 1933, bacon ex- ports to Britain were 51,527,000 lbs. compared with 24,685,000 in the same period of 1932. Exports continue tc be on a heavy relative scale. Our ^ne hope of maintaining and better- ing hog prices is to increase our ex- ports of bacon. But, here comes the rub. When in England lately the greatest com- plaint I heard with regrard to Canad- ian bacon was lack of finish and light weights. Canadian packers in order do not over-burden the domestic mar- ket were forced to ship bacon that did not measu're up to the desired quality. (There were faults in type fir.d conformation, but that is an other story). If the hogs from which the bacon was made had been of the proper weights and finish the bacon situation would have gi-catly benefited. , It would appear that farmers do not understand the seriousness of this condition. At present it is imposs- ible to get enough properly finished hogs of the right weights to make quantities of export bacon and of best bacon for home use. A part of these unfinished and light weight hogs may be duo to lack of feed but is not a great deal of it due to the fact that producers do not quite un- derstand the importance of proper weight and finish? This is the Message of this Letter The bulk of good bacon comes fi-om the bacon and select grades of hogs. There is a range of weights in these Only '2,000 of the 3,370 head of cattle available were sold in a dull Jay's trading on the Toronto live stock market yesterday. Prices wei-e down from 25c to 35c on steers and heifers but held ' steady fin the other classes. Sheep provided the only gain -of the day, choice quality rising 50c undei active buying. The hog market dropp- ed another 10c and at the close was down 25c for the week. Calves and Iambs sold steady throughout the day (Weighty steers ranged from $2.5(i to $4. with a few choice heavy steers up to $4.75. Ther best butcher cattle sold from $1. to $4.25, with the bulk of the supply going from $3. to $3.75. Butcher cows were slow at $2.25 to $2.75 for choice. Canners and cutters remained unchanged at 75c to $1.25. Good bulhi brought ?2.25, a.-.d bolognas made $1.50. Feed calves ranged from $4.50 to $6.50 with tops of $7. Good stockers sold from $2.75 to $3.25. Calves held their steady tone to close at $7 to $7.50 for choice, and at $3.50 for common vealers. Grass calves brought $2 to $2.50. Hogs were 10c lower at $5.85, f.o.b., for bacons, $6.15 off truck and $6.40 off car. The lamb market was steady at $7 for good ewes and wethers and at $4.50 to $5 for culls. Sheep wert strong all day, ranging from $2.50 t( $3.00. The Egg Market The supply of eggs on the market has increased during the past week and the price has therefore dropped a few cents. Prices are as follows: Extras 36c Firsts 31c Pullet Extras 26c Seconds 17c > The Anglican church is starting on the second year of Its drive to raise - over a million dollars to restore the lost endowments and strengthen funds of the church. Nearly $800,- 000 was subscribed last year, but there will be some shrinkage and prdbably $300,000 is still required to meet the needs of the case.

Extra quality .... $1.40. would be a bend Iho Advan.c, ... ^^^ ^^^^^ ^^ .^ probably natural for farmers to assume that when a hog has attained a weight of 180 lbs. i-n the bacon grade or 190 in the select grade, that this as useful a weight for export or domestic purposes as any weight up to 230 lbs. , Such is not the case. The low- weights are the minimum and the high weights are the maximum that can be accepted. Rut it is very un clasirable that the bulk of the hogs «houM be from 200 to 220 lbs. at the farm when not too full of feed. Hogs are now coming in quantities at from 180 to 200 lbs. At these low weights many are unfinishetl and even a part of the heavier weights lack finish. This is disastrous to good prices for bacon both in the ex port and domestic market and, of course equally disaslrous to good prices for hogs. The difficulty of scarce feed sup- plies in some sections is fully recog nize<l. But it will pay to finish the hogs that are on hand on the farm! rather than flood the market with poor hogs. At from 180 to 230 lbs. hogs gain rapidly and make ver> ^ /'jonomical use of feed. Hogs that are finished so as to make bacon oi 4eloct grade bring fifty cents to a .lollar per hundred more than unfin- ['Awi hogs. This will pay for pur- chased fted. At the same time the market will be strengthened instead of boing weakened. Some weeks ago on account of an oxtra supply of bacon being permitted to bo rhipped to tha British market by Denmark, the price slumped. Since that time further restrictions of im- :H)rt.i have been imposed by Britain ^n foreign countries and currency ex- cvhangc has improved. The markets have srtrengthened in consequence. For the weeks of October 26th, Nov- ember 2nd and November 9th, the price of ibaeon hogs at Toronto has been ?.'>.60, $5.75 and $6.00, showing .1 .steady advance. It is believed that if farmers fully un-.ierstand the need for carrying their hogs until from 200 to 220 Iba. and having them properly finished, l.hey will co-operate for the good of all.
