wassponsoredby
the Huron Hog
Producers to provide information
on the hog situation.
Mr. McGinnes was answering a
question posed by . Robert • Taylor.,
president of ' the Huron Farmers'
Union. While deficiency, payments
may not 'be • wrong in all ,respects,
he was opposed to.them,for a'num,
ber' of reasons which he set out:.:
Explains Reasons
Deficiency payments ' would
amount to the difference between'
a set price and the price received
by a producer.for• bis hog. This'
would bepaid en a. yearly basiss,
and it would,' leave the. smaller
'farmer short at the" end of the •year
as the payment would notlikely, be
made Until' three months of the
following -year had • elapsed. This,

The annual fall fair of the BaY-
field Agricultural Society is being,
held this• year on'September 25-26,
according to Mrs: Alma Bassett,
secretary of. the fair: •'it is the first.,
time the society has sponsored the
main day of the fair on a Satur-
she <said,

tract farming, which the associa-
tion-•was.trying to: avoid. •
Deficiency a t would be
.PY m en
made: to each producer on a cer-
ber of
tain:num hogs andthis
, . t s would'
mean that' the large producers
•would ---be producing • the over -run
of thie. lizint at .a loss, and ' the
smaller producers; seeing that
there is a profit, would increase
their production.
Mr. McGiiiies said that, self-help
in marketing was much better' than;
a government handout He; 'Men -
Ilona that
men-taoned'that when the Poor Law was'
introduced in England, the people
received poorer .wages, and the
government paid the • remainder::
This would occur if the deficiency
payments were brought into, being.
• The: payments would. ,also do
away with a Tot of: butchers; Mr.
McGinnes ' claimed, since, 'lie • said
all the hogs would have to go
through a registered packing' plant.,
The most tragic result of defici,.
ency payments, .as Mr. McGinnes
saw it, •would be that the public:
would expect to get cheap meat'
and would show resistance to pur-
chasing, When. the 'cost went•. up.
He told the'' meeting economists.
have looked info the situation and
they ,agree that a- •deficiency pay-.
trent' policy would not -be the best
„Mr,.. Taylor suggested that if
government offiicialh were to really'
look .into the situation ,and were
concerned • about keeping t he
"family farm", they would develop
a defieiency,.payment program.
*pe, king' agar �
a in - M McGinnes
pointed,.
out that if deficiency pay -
menu :were made on :hogs,- farm
ers would •expect to -receive' -;these
payments on all produce. He said
that in the first lace nient
