It Just Played Safe One day last week one of our loca! butchers went to the country to kill a cattle beast for his cu3|omers. When he arrived there were two of the ani- mals in the yard, and he thought hi.- best plan would be to shut one in the stable while the other was meet- ing its doom. So he proceeded to dc so, and after the task was over, went to the barn to let the companion oj the now beef-steak, out in the yard. He enteied the stable and lo, and bs- hold, no stear. He scratched his hoad searched all through the stables, and went to the house to inquire if any- :ne had let it out; but no, no one had been near the scene. So a search party was organized and the steei was located in the granary in the up- per part of the barn. The poor thing must have been peeking out a crack in the door watch- ing the slaughter of its relative and deciding that life- was too sweet, ana not wanting to "kick the bucket" yet climbed the steep stairs to the second floor of the barn, and thus escape his would-be executioners. -Anyway, ht had a good feed before he answered the roll call. â€" Teeswater News. Packing Plant Boosted Prices To Farmers A GOOD LOSER The recent elections unearthed at least one first-rate loser. He wa.-! Angus Graham, defeated for the reeveship of Kincardine, and here's the "Card cf Thanks" he put in the local papers: "I thank the friends who voted for me on election day and, while I was a loser, I'm a winn- er in a way. I've got rid of lots of trouble and I don't regret defeat; no public sins to answer for, no obliga- tions to meet. So don't think I'm downhearted or go around feeling sore; for some get in and some get out â€" that's what elections are for. To my friend.s who didn't vote for me: you were my life-saver, and I thank you very kindly for just doing me this favor." The Barrie Examiner: That the Barrie co-operative packing plant had made $3,000,000 for the farmers of Canada, wa.s the claim of K. N. M Morrison, who was recently appointed manager of the First Co-operative Packers of Ontario, Limited, in an address to the members of Barrie Lion's Club at a dinner meeting in .Allandale restaurant. Mr. .Morrison declared that Canad- ian bacon had previously been selling at a price of ten sliillings per hun- dred weight less than Danish bacon equivalent to $2 i>er hog or $12,000,- 000 for the 0,000,000 hogs produced in Canada annually. A. trial shipment of a carload ot bacon from the local point had been shipped to England, following out the idea of W. B. Somerset of the On- tario Marketing Board. TJiis ship- ment had been carefully supervised by feiieral and provincial officials. When the carload was marketed in England, the bacon sold at two shill- ings per hundred weight more than ' ^-eing the top price for 'choice butcho. the competing Danish bacon, with; sheers, heavj'. 'Good butcher cows the result that the spread betwee;i Danish and Canadian bacon for the entire Canadian offerings, was reduc- ed from ten to six shillings per hun- dred weight. "That is wliy I say the cooperative packers of Barrie have made §;!,000.- 000 fur the farmers of Canada." he said. Mr. Morrison stated that thi< trial shipment had been followed up with seven other shipments. He felt that the feat accomplished had been no small one and that even if the farm- err, of this district had sunk consid- WHAT FARMERS GET ANO PACKERS RECEIVE The Bracebridge Gazette says: "Ac- cording to last week's quotations prices for cattle ranged from !pl ; hundred pounds to §5.25, the latto; Osp rey Election Is Well Contested FROM MANY CLIMES A review of the students who have attended O.A.C. during the last halt century is contained in the annual report from the College.

I'he acreage sown to the principal field crops declined from 9,184,'JOO acres to 8,966,900 acres, a reduction of 218,000 acres or 2.5';;. The vol- ume of output showed a diminution jof 10'a, from 1933, Crops showing an increase in production were: Spring wheat, oats, barley, flaxseed, mixed grains, buckwheat, fodder, corn, corn for husking, potatoes, tur- nip.s, mangolds and carrots, Crop<^^ showing a decrease were: Fall wheat, fall rye, peas, dry beans, sugar beets, hay and clover, alfalfa, alsike and sweet clover. Hay crops, fall wheat and fall rye suffereil heavily from wii'.ter killing and unfavorable weath- er conditions previous to maturity. Spring grains proved to be less af- fected by drought than anticipated and yields per acre and total yieldii exceed 1933. The total hay crop amounted to only 4,346,300 tons in 1933. The late summer and fall provide<l ideal growing conditions avd yields per acre of late crop were extremely good. The prospects of insufficient hay .supplies were lessened by heavy crops of corn and roots and a sur- prising improvement in condition of pastures, permitting beef cattle to grade from five to seven weeks latei hay supplies. Dairymen in some countries however, will be obliged to purchase a greater .supply of concen- trates. In most cases prices of sec- ondary products are not high enongh to warrant the purchase of hay at present levels and farmer* are f**d- ing increased quantities of Btrmw, stocked corn, roughages and molass- es. erablo money in the local venture, they could feel that th-ey had done some real work for the rest of the '.'iirmers cf the Dominion. FUNERAL OF MRS. J. WATSON HELD THURS. Father: "And you think you will be able to give my daughter all she wants?" Suitor: "Yes; she says she only wants me." Henry Ford made this statement: "There- are people in the world who stir up war for the purpose of mak- in;: profit's," .And some cf the prob- I ers are finding that those who stii up the profits find themselves facing The funeral of the. late Mrs. Jo?. Watson, who passed away on Christ- ma.-? evening at he:- home on the O.- O.R., Arte.Tiesia, was held on Thurs- lay afternoon of last week. Ser- .•ice wrts held at the home, conducted >y her past-Jr, Rev. J. R. Wilkinson vho preached a very comforting ne:-;sage to the bereaved husband and •elatives. Interment was made in .McNeil Cemetery, Priceville, where Rev. McDonald assisted in the ser- vice. The late Mrs. Watson' was forni- n-\y a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Malcoliii McDonald, and was in her 5yth year. She was married tc her now sorrowing husband 28 years ago. Besides her husband she leaves to mourn, one sister, Mrs. Jos. Ferris ."nd one brother, Mr. John McDonald of Flesherton. The floral offerings were very beautiful and included: ))illow from her husband, wreath from Mr. and Mrs. John McDonald, sheaf of lillies from Mr. and Mrs. W. Turney and Mrs, M. McDonald, spray from -Mr. and MrK. Jos. Ferris and a spray ; frtm .Air. and Mrs. Elmer Harrison. The pallbearers were: .Messrs. Earl Best. Robt. Vause, Thos. White, Sam- uel Batchelor, Herbert Corbett aM<i Jas, Oliver. The passing of Mrs. Watson came a? a great shock to her husband al- though she had been in ill health foi the past year or so. Mr. Watson had left Mrs, Watson preparing for bed early in the evening while he wont to the barn. On his return he called for Mrs. Watson and, failing to receive a reply, went to her room and she was in bed apparently a-»lcep' Not thinking that she would have gone to sleep so quickly ho wer closer and found that death had ar- rived when she had lain down t.i rest Mrs, Watson had not complained ol being in poorer health and her pass- ing came very unexpectedly to the entire community.

Thus a farmer who has 'good butcher cow' v.'oighing 800 lbs would get $16 for her. Out of that he pays freight and many othei charges. 'Good steers and heifers were quoted from S3.T5 to $4. Prac- tically no "choice butcher steers heavy,' ai-e ever' sold except for ex- port or to high-class hotels and dining cars where a helping of steate.,costs from $1.25 up, or about $3 a podnd, served. You and I are lucky if we get "good steers and heifers' or evan "(irood butcher cows.' You do your own C'gurinrj about the causes of sj.read rrv->m say 2'.-s cents. They tell ma it works out someway li'ce this, A. packing house has its -.-arious departments which buy and sell to others of its departments anu oach department must show a profit. Thus the buying department sends a man to the stock yards and he buys. .-^ay 10,000 pounds of cattle for $300. That department sells the cattle %o the killing department at a profit of, ;ay, a cent a pound. The killing de- partment now lias an investment ol 5400 and the buying department has made a profit of $100 less the cost ol ^ending the cattle from the yards tc the abattoir and the wages cf ths. man who did the buying. The kill- ing department must show a profit and therefore the cutting,jlepartment pays, say. S500 for the original $300 investment. This goes on. through various other departments until the price pail by the selling departmen' reaches, say $700. The selling de- partment must show a profit, and therefore the prices of the various parts of the animal total, say, S800. Thus the original cost of §300 be- comes $800 and nothing has been done but the butche; ing in its various branches. Yes, you are quite right. There are some parts that are sold at low prices. I happened to sec an in- voice recently directed from a pack- ing house to a fox farmer. The fox farmer paid 8 cents a lb. for tript 5 <^ai,ii fj^r betf livoi', 3'^ cents for gi'6t:nd ration tripe, lips, rubbish, trimmings of all kinds. 4Vi cents for beef hearts. So, y.ou see, they charge more for the roughest offal than thty pay the producer on the hoof. And, of course, they make mcney. I have ivere a recent adver- tisement of the profits of one packins house. .After paying the enormous salaries officers get, after paying in- terest on bonds, paying income tax and after writing off depreciation the net profit was $1,429,(570.17. oi about as much as the assessed value of the townships of .Monck, Macauley Muskoka and Draner. And We Do- minion Government and the Provin- cial governmets do nothing about it Farmers s'r.oulj give governments no I peace until their wrongs are righted. There can be no legitimate reason for I the simple act of dressing an animal increasing its value 300 per cent."
