Two weeks ago, egg producers in Ontario were blaming him for suggesting that egg prices would increase as much as 10 cents a dozen. It turned out that Mr. Whelan was widely misquoted by a big city reporter in a big city newspaper. The misquote caused considerable consternation and added to the already-confused egg marketing hassle in this country. The contention in this corner is that most big city newspapers don't care a hoot about farmers. They rarely have a qualified farm Writer covering the agricultural scene. they are content to pick up stories on the farm scene from outside sources or send reporters out to firm stories who know nothing about farming. Haynes Davies, public relations director of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, decries the attitude of many of the large urban papers. He has said on a couple of occasions that he gets tired of explaining board policies time and again to green reporters who don't give a hoot in hades about the dairy business. The attitude is understandable. Only five or six per cent of the population of this country is actively engaged in farmilig Circulation is centred in the cities. But one would think that what happens on the farm which affects the whole consuming public would be-important enough to be reported properly. Some of the larger papers do make an effort such as the Toronto Globe and Mail, the Hamilton Spectator, the London Free Press and the Windsor Star.' And especially the Kitchener-Waterloo Record with two excellent farm reports on staff. If you want to read about the farm scene, you won't find much in the oronto Star or the Sun, though. - • The action on the Canadian egg scene has been confused enough without making it worse: It is important that consumers are well aware of why import restrictions were placed on eggs coming into Canada from the United States. Slabtown Skimmers beat Oilers Slabtown Slammers played the B.P. Oilers in Withrop on July 2S, The Stammers defeated the Oilers 17-16 in an exciting game of ball. Home run getters for the Oilers were Kelly Dalton, Neil McNichol and Dave McClure. The Slani- mers had seven home runs. The B.P. Oilers lost the follow- ing night to the Manley Mashers 24-19. The Manley team got four home runs while 'Pete DeJong and Dave McClure got the only two for the Oilers. - 9:00 p.m. Winthrop Warettes lost to Walton 9-6 andlost to Slabtown 9-6. TheY now have 3 wins and 2 I losses. sitor American eggs were coming into Canada because prodtims across the line had millions of4 surplus eggs to sell. The egg market over there collapsed. Their market was glutted so they banged them across the border into Canada. This, in turn, causer Canadian producers great problems. The American eggs • came into Canada at prices that were below the cost of production in both countries. Why should Canadian egg producers foot the bill for over-production in the Excited States? As Mr. Whelan said, why should Canadians stand by silently and let another country ship its problems across the border? That is why import restrictions - quotas - were set up. The problem must be seen in perspective.. A two per cent over-production in the U.S., shipped to Canada, cuases chaos for Canadian _producers. It's only two per cent over there but gluts the parket here. •i NOt onlyk that, the over-production shipped to Canada had to be removed from the Canadian market. The removal costs came right out of the producers' pockets. Canadiap producers had to 'Suffer the loss when the American surplus eggs were sold to the manufacturing market. In other words, the eggs were bought at a high price by Canadian producers because they were table eggs but were sold by the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency to the manufacturing processors of powder and icing and other byproducts at a much lower price than table eggs. Sounds like a vicious circle, doesn't it? It is. I do not subscribe to all the big papers and I do not know how it was reported but I'd be willing to bet a barrel of bore manmure that few city dwellers have been made aware of the problems faced by egg producers in Ontario. In fact,l'll bet the sweepings from my stable floor that only a handful of Ontario consumers have ah inkling of the problems faced by cow-calf producers, hog producers, dairy farmers, cash crop farmers, cattlemen or any other, facet of the agricultural community.
