FARM MARKETING
POPULAR TOPIC.
. (By Carl. Hemingway) ;.
'The arketirig of farm pro-
ducts' ': ; the 'popular' topic for dis-
cussion and it is important that
farmers know• not , only ' the
facts but alsothe implications.
I was 'very interested ;in a
quotation given from one of our.
current . Ancient history books
by Jas. Illaggerty at the, Elan.
township Federation of Agricul-
ture -meeting February 18th. "It
is only when forces are equal
that the question . of rights arcs.-
es. 'When forces are unequal ;the
strong does what -he can and the
weak suffers. ' what he' must." .•
• Could this apply. to hog, mar-
keting?' In. former, years ' -the.
strong packing corporation . did.
What, he :could namely gained
control of the :'hogs by bonusing
the . weaker trucker: and the
trucker, stronger than the indivi-
dual and protected by. P~V C
licensing, gathered up the hogs
from the weaker. individual: -fat'
mer •who 'suffered what he must.
There Was n� ;question of rights.
This was just. accepted . as: the.
way.. thinigts' were done.
Now, that:' the Ontario Hog Pro-
ducers has become strong ; bar-
gaining: force in. -the sale of. hogs
,the question of rights ,becomes
a • Vital • issue. In ; this case •the
point of. contention : is who shall
have , the ' right ,.to . allocate the.
supply of hogs. •,• •
The opposition"has • been im=.
plying that ' the •.• Hog Producers
'Marketing 'Board .,has : the sole
Power, to: allocate • hogs; to the
various packers. ;This is not true.
Since the 'Marketing Board must
always sell in the hest interests
of the .producer. any :packing'
plant 'can take over the. right -to
•allocate' • the desired number of.
.hogs • to iitself• sii`nply by,bdding
the :higher priee. , It is only ,in
;the • case ,of'. identical ;,bids . , that
the Board has any power of ' allo-
cation. In this case the Board
c , is
obligated to .'sell the;`. hogs on
some :Other consideration, in the
best interests of the producer.
The': packer who can process
'quickest; •who is ° closest to the
point 'of ,assembly, or who con-.
sistantly . • returns favourable
dressing percentage, : or' 'Who will
sell immediately. into the '" trade.
rather than the one• Who. is
storing pork Will. the "hgs.
The fact .that ; the . matter :. of
right has come up would seem
to prove that farmers riow have
equal strength''in the market
place as far• as hogs are 'Concern-
ed.
oncern-ed...•
• Marketing of :beef;- was; also
discussed and =.'w..hile :'the" ,:past
doesn't •'seem to bad there was
definite•..fear• • expressed for the
future. • It is rumoured that• one
of . the•, wealthiest financiers in
Canada is.'about to set. up, a 5000
heads, cattle feeding station In
Huron , County.. Re has : refuse
from, another enterprise that will
supply hire with: ,cheap fattening
ration.. He has :shares -in the
packing industry, . and controls
a large retail chain.,With •a 'good
market for'. the refuse'. and a:good
profit. on .processing and retail-
.ing he 'doesn'•t have .'to worry
about a profit on ' his feeding.
The; only answer' for the farmer
is co-operative • marketing, •pros-
cesing and retailing:.

better, • picture if. your son puts
his- hand on.your ..shoulder."

WHY, WHEELER STREET.
As a river resident,: and::inter
.ested citizen, I.O:would like to'
express; my views on 'the build -
I. ;
Ong of the new : bridge. I know
every., little about ' `engineering,
but I 'do know that from Camp-
bell Street ho Gough' Streetis
four . 4blocks' 'and . to benefit
everyone, the logical- •ppl�ice 'to.
build' would be' *half : Way be-
tween,
Y
tween, •which is Hamilton Street'
Now, von :f ainilton Streetat the
present • time is a ; '; footbridge;
_ Every year at Hallowe'en this
bridge is literally • ripped apart
by ,youngl' :hoodlums, and:. every
year: the • town' ;ibuys ' lumber to.
have ", it 'repaired. I'm " sure the
price, of repairing over .the .years
would have • paid` for a new one:
Investigation, Mill show ''that
Hamilton', Street, is : higher and
drier ' than Wheeler.. Both . sides
Of this street ;are tiled from In-
gles Street . to the .'river. .The
banks. of the,.river 'are very high,
on; Hamilton, and 'to.. my -know-
ledge • the• ` spring flood's •have..
_.never overflowed . , ,the : • floor; of
the :bridge.
They say dirt.. is cheap,' : but "I
think' by the time Wheeler, was.
built •up ;to. the: proper level to
:eliminate flooding'' problems, it
will: come pretty .expensive dirt
I can see that a bridge on
Wheeler `would;: be !beneficial to
certain parties ' in command, but
a few 'years change many . situa-
tions, and i think we• should look
to the future and ,not ' be swayed
by the; ;immediate present.
