The Huron Expositor, 1960-09-15, Page 11HURON COU •-z COUNTY FEDERATION NEWS By CARL IIEMIAIGWAY,, No doubt many hog producers prernjwn on top quality which can have noticed the announcement of be exported at a premium price, the Federal Minister of Agricul- the Government IS giving the fam- ture stating that effective.October ily farmer the opportunity to get 3, 1960, the $L00 premium on some return for his extra care in Grade B hogs will be discontinued, ued, b reeding and feeding that is nec- and that the premium on Grade A essary to produce Grade A bogs. will be increased from $2.00 to $3.00. This follows a change in the grading requirements of some months ago which changed the weights and fat measurements- I think that most producers now re- alize that it has become more dif- ficult to produce Grade A hogs and therefore there has been a de- crease in the returns to the pro- ducer. This recent change in premium payment will probably mean a fur- ther reduction in the returns for many producers and is therefore likely to cause considerable resent- ment. I do not feel qualified to express an opinion on wether or not the Government is justified in its ac- • tion, but I do think we should understand why this has been done. First, I think that the producers of most farm products will agree that the Government is not justi- fied in encouraging the production of an inferior product by the pay- ment of premiums. There was a good deal of complaint when the Government maintained a floor price for Grade B -eggs. No doubt the same has been true for Grade B hogs, though not nearly as strong. For many years there has been. little or no increase in the produc- tion of Grade A hogs. United States has been carrying oar a strong program for the produc- tion of a bacon type hog for some time, and if we hope to continue export, a small but very impor- tant surplus of pork, we must keep the, quality high: Secondly, the Government has stated that its policy is to help the family farmer. Records show that the family farmer produces a much higher percentage of top quality hogs than the large com- mercial feeder. By increasing the W. C. OKE Insurance -- Real Estate state Egmondville, Ont. P.O. Box 476 -- Seaforth Telephone 647 By doing this the family farmer is not only helping himself but al- so the whole industry. Perhaps the grading of hogs is more controversial than the pay- ment of premiums. From time to time I hear many complaints on weights and grades. In the case of dressed weight, unless you have the live weight fror{i a public, gov- ernment -inspected scales, your or- ganization can do nothing to get an adjustment. In the case of. grade, it would be necessary for the hog producers to employ. check graders. ST. COLUMBAN Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hagarty, of Guelph, with Mr. and Mrs. Peter Maloney.

Scott as follows: "Dear Maryanne: Come, sit you down and listen well, for there's.a story. I would tell, of life and love and a pretty daughter, of romance and happiness forever after. Once 'on a time, as all stor- ies go, it really wasn't so long ago, a family travelled across the sea and some stayed in this good com- munity. A beautiful daughter with the name of Jane, soon captured the heart of a Seaforth swain; mar= ried they were, and settled down, Gordon. and Jane loved by all the town. As• their family grew, they moved out our way, and to school or to church never missed a day. There .were three pretty girls, to know which was a riddle: Nora and Joan, with Maryanne in the middle. "Now another family of worthy name, at this time left old Hol- land to seek their fame; they, too, sailed to. Canada, far across the sea, and settled 'in this good com- munity. There were three fine boys, to know which was no rid- dle, Tony and John were fair, with dark Hank in the middle; to school and to church, boys and girlswent together, and they laughed and they cried through good and bad weather. Maryanne stuck to school and with hard work and ambition won for' herself a fine office posi- tion; admirers a -plenty soon came to call, but she turned them all down for young Hank Middegaal. He, too, had ambition, handsome Hank, gay and witty, and learned a good trade in the same London city; now the plans are all made and the wedding day set, two fam- ilies are joining to do the best yet. You've listened long, and you've listened well, my—story is done, but there's more to tell; may your home be blest with love and laugh- ter, God's peace and joy forever after." "We ask you. now, Maryanne, to accept these gifts. May they -al- ways bring you pleasant memories of Seaforth and this community.— Signed on behalf of your Friends and Neighbors," Miss Reynolds expressed her thanks in a few gracious words, and a delicious lunch was served.
