Although farmers in this area and elsewhere in Ontario, voted nearly 100 percent in favour or the open market selling, so far only 24.72 pereent of the hogs marketed in any one week 'have been sent to the open market. In Huron the percentage has been about 4, with one week (August 12-16) reaching 18.8 percent of the total. Charles McGinnis, president of the Co-operative, Warned members that the paekers and processors were out to get rid of the present hog marketing system'. He said he had heard of bribes offered to transporters to take hogs direct to processing plants, rather than to the Co-operative's assembly yards. They had been offered $2. to $3 a hog, he 'said, Also, "I have been advised that some pro- cessors are offering a bribe on cattle taken direct to the plant, an the condition that they will take hogs direct to the plant, also," McGinnis. said, "The orders have been passed and will be rigidly enforced without fear or favour on. all parts of the trade, The orders will regulate both the delivery of hogs by the transporter and tire buying of hogs by the packer." Dr. J. E. Lattimer, former Pro- lessor of Economics at MacDonald College, said, "During the past five years there has been a marked decline in prices of farm products with a corresponding marked rise in wages. It is clear that the rea- son for this is that organized la- bour practices collective bargain- ing by selling its' services through. a central selling agency, The les- son is clear for farmers in general as well as this particular group." Parker Speaks During the morning sessions, Theodore Parker, Sebringville, who has 'challenged in the past the producer-controlled marketing system under the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Act, said he felt such an organization should not criticize other farmers who may prefer a different selling system, Mr. McGinnis replied he 'didn't think Mr. Parker was a member of the organization "or have you just joined?" "No," said Mr. Parker. He was not a member but he was a ship- per of hOgs. "Sit you're not a member," 'said Mr. McGinnis, "please sit down and be quiet." Mr. Parker gat down. 0 Over 80 Birthday Club Congratulations and best wishes go to Mrs. W. F. Metcalf, Bay- field, who on Saturday, September 7 passed her 87th birthday.
