NOT INTELLIGE
8UPPORT'ERS OF THE work of the Ontar-
io Higg Producers Marketing Board received a
Aide jolt when they picked up their daily papers
and read -of an increase of 16 cents in the amount
deducted for operating the Board and its as-
sembly points.
We do not think that fanners will upon
thinking it over, really mind having 40 cents
deducted, insteald of the former 2.4 cents, but
they do •resent the method in which the iner ase
was presented to them.
As recently as February 22, at the annual•
meeting of the Huron hog producers, the mem-
bers were told the advantages of operating under
the present set up, and the fact that 24 cents
was all it cost to 'operate was emphasized. The
low cost was contrasted with the higher cost of
paper work done by and charged to the producer
by the packers, under the former selling arrange-
ment.
The Rural Co=operator published- as late as
May 11, did not have word of the in
Surely the Board must have been aware for
some time that an increase was necessary, and
the representatives could have indicated that'it

could be expected shortly. Farmers are realis-
tic souls, and ithey easily recognize the fact that
each year %rings about increased prices. They
are well acquainted with this fact, when they
make purchases of needed items of machinery,
etc, for 'their farads,
The Hog Producers Marketing Board, and
the Association as well, at theprovincial level,
apparently does not credit harm people with
enough intelligence to accept the facts, and con-
tinue- their support, We are amazed sometimes,
to see what the nog producers have accepted.
blindly, with, the hope that the whole thing
would be explained to them later. So far the
plans of the men at the top, seem to be coming
out fairly well. They are doing the best they
can, and probably feel that they are doing the
best that can be done.
I Our only, suggestion would be that they
could bring about more confidence among the
producers, and .provide less fuel for such as the
"independent candidate" of Perth County, if
they would tell the producers more abaut what
they are trying -to do for them.
AT ITS WORST
AN EXAMPLE of contract, farming at its
worst, has been evidenced in the south of the
county this week, with the announcement that
line of the main farming industries of that area,
wall not be issuing any contracts at all this year.
The result is that some 2,000 acres, which
have been .under contract for cash crops, will
have to be planned in some other way, It also
means that 250 people who have been employed
in the canning factory for nearly six months Of-
every
fevery year, will not have -chat employment,
The value of industries set up in this agra-
cultural county .of Huron which would make use
of raw material from the farms, has been highl3,
recommended, and this type of industry has been
considered to be the best possible. However,
when ,the processing as done in connection with
a ,'contract type of organization, there apparen-
tly is nothing tOa.stable about the arrangement,
We could imagine .no plainer lesson for the
farming public than this one. Farmers cannot
depend upon such a method of selling their pro-
duct. • They are in effect working for someone,
who at any time can withdraw its payroll.
They do not have the protection which workers
in a factory have with their unions.
Surely the time is coming when, farmers
will take'a step toward obtaining their indepen-
dence—they must in some way assure themsel-
ves that their jobs are intact. That is, that the
market for the materials. they wish to grow does
exist, and will not be, taken away.
Is the answer tobe found in some type of
co-operative canning factory? This works well
with cheese, dairy 'products. of. all kinds, and a
good many items of retail variety. Why should
it not work just as well inthe canning business?
PEDESTIP, IANS OVER SIXTY
THE .HAMILTON Spectator, underlined the
importance of persuading elderly people to be
extremely careful in traffic.
Three important safety _ suggestions were
put forward:
First: Wear a white handkerchief tied
around your sleeve or fastened to your purse
when out at night. Carlights catching the bit
of which will make you stand out in the black-
ness.
Secondly: When you get off a bus, don't
dash across the street from between' two parked
cars. Go to the corner to cross.
Thirdly. Make sure the street is clear before
you cross. Remember your eyesight and your
reflexes may not be just as good as they used
to be. You may gauge the distance across the
street as a shorter distance than it actually is.
ACCUSED OF HINDSIGHT -
IT IS EASY enough to sit on the sidelines
and quibble. Newspaper tolk have long been
accused of expressing opinions with the assur-
ance of hindsight rather then with foresight.
This may be true . of our opinion of sports
associations in -this part of Ontario --but at is
an opinion largely held by those folk who dre
trying to operate clubs under the uncertain reg-
-Tilations. of the Associations which are supposed
to be giving leadership,
Tile •si.tuation which brings about occasion
:for this opinion, is the fact that a game of hook-
ey won an the local arena by the intermediate
club was strongly threatened awth being thrown
out --because someone thought the Clinton Club
had dressed} too many players, Actually, at the
first of the season, this matter was thrashed out,
and a decision was reached, resulting in a motion
being placed ori the books that a club could dress
16 players, That is whit Clinton did, The
matter (at -time of writing) was still under cone
sideration.
Our opinion, then, is this: Local managers
and coaches da .the job for free. They give their
time to the evenings, and. in many cases during
their working day,, making �plans for future
schedules, looking after the great deal of book -
Work, telephoning, etc,, which running a hockey
team requires. They 6n1t get paid for At -and
sometimes. find that their expenses are hardly
covered,
At the same time somebody in the regula-
ting associaatiom, do charge of the, affairs of all
of the clubs within tFie area, is, receiving money
for doing the work. it has become almost a full
atime job, and whoever does it should therefore
be interested in doing it well, If he is not, then
someone else should be found who can do It
well,

For any honest, thin -blooded
Canadian, March is 31 days of
pure misery. He's just about at the
end of his tether, anyway, after a
gruelling, four-month, toe-ta-toe
slugfest with that capable heavy-

punchy, stili in there only through
sheer fighting instinct. So what's
he supposed to do just because
March 21st is the first day of
leopard, Her nerves! are rubbed
raw from mopping up pools of
water, looking for people's hats,
and listening to •the syncopated
thump and rumble of the stoker.
She's sick to death of prying froz-
en sheets off the clothesline. Her
skin is becoming dried out, and
the housecleaning looms like some
fearsome monster. It's wise to
tread softly, and in wide circles,
around her.
M' d you, I'm not down on
Spri g, as such. Give me a burst
of sunshine, a balmy .breeze, and
a sight of green grass, and I'll be
quick as the next fellow to , get
giddy -and run off with a widow,
or whatever you're supposed to' do
in the Spring.
But when I know that the -pile
Of ashes in my cellar is four times
the size of the coal -pile, and there-
's •almost a foot of snow on my
front lawn, and I'm catching my
seventh cold of the winter, please,
if you value your life, don't come
up to me on March 21st and say
brightly: "Well, first day of Spr-
ing, eh,,,
