Nearly one-fourth of the postwar immigrants have settled in Toronto, and they have made their mark there. In a city long accustomed to dining out on roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, new restaurants with such names as Czarda, Moulin Rouge and House of Fujimatsu add variety to the bill of fare. Some 20 foreign-language newspapers cater to the newcomers, and the sports pages in the city's dailies report the scores of soccer games between teams named the Polish White Eagles or the Ulster Uniteds...
Cattlemen also were hard hit. In recent years Florida's year-round pasturage, which normally eliminates the need of laying by hay and feed for winter, has helped make the state an important beef producer. Last week Florida's 1,400,000 head of Brahmas, Santa Gertrudis, Herefords and Aberdeen-Anguses were so weakened by malnutrition and weeks of slushing around in soggy pastures that cattlemen feared deaths would reach 270,000. Deaths already had decimated Collier County's 25,000 herd, and the area's spring calf crop was expected to be only...

From Maine to California, the Republicans last week kicked off their 1958 congressional campaign in a big display of televised speechmaking, with Dwight Eisenhower as the evening's coaxial keynoter. The President flew into Chicago in a snowstorm, sat down to a $100-a-plate dinner (cold roast beef and string beans) with 5,400 Republicans at the huge International Amphitheater. In a twelve-minute address at meal's end, he promised "prompt and effective modernization of our defense organization," urged improved educational and mutual assistance programs, asked an end to partisan bickering over U.S. security. Said...
...premium (as much as 50? per cwt.) over the delivery day's average market price. The packer can pay this premium because under the contract the farmer follows expert advice on breeding and feeding, gets leaner pork, which brings higher retail prices and competes better with beef. With marketing risks removed, farmers can deliver more pork-on-the-hoof. Packers have shown hog-raisers how to take a unit of 33 breed sows, breed eleven of them every two months and over a year deliver 500 hogs to market in six marketings as opposed to the old rate...
