Following a series of meet- ings held for the purpose of studying existing marketing legislation and procedures, the Ontario Farm Products Mar- keting Board and the Ontario Hog Producers Market in g Board, in a joint release issued from Queen's Park, indicated that agreement has been reach- ed on several points. Following discussion on the present method of sale of hogs it was decided that a commit- tee of four persons, two from each (board, be named to make a detailed study of selling me- thods and that a progress re- port be submitted each month. It was felt that the method of sale should be one which would provide the best possible re- turn to the producer; that it Should provide a system where- by it can be determined that the highest bidder gets the hogs and that the method of sales The VW is constantly being improved: Since 1948, no less than nine hundred improvements have been made to the Volkswagen. Yet it still remains basically the same car• with the same styling. That's why a.VW may grow old but never obsolete—and why It retains its value. The Volkswagen is an honest product. While there are other improvements in the new VW,it is Volkswagen's philosophy not to change for the sake of change but to search continually for now ways to Improve a great idea. Some of these Improvements in the De Luxe Volkswagen ore also in the Custom model. Whichever you buy, we think you get the best car value In the world. The new Volkswagen is a lot more fun to drive.

Less Hogs Means Less Money For Packing Plant Employees, Too (By Cart Bomhxgwrpy) 1960—Clinton News,Rocorfl Pogo ' DON SMITH MOTORS Volkswagen's engineers make three major improvements to the World's most successful small car. You can't tell the new VW just by looking. You have to drive it. All the changes have been made within the car, for example: More powerful engine: Engine power's up 10%. Now the Volkswagen leaps away from lights. You scoot up hills, scuttle round bends and fly down highways faster than before. And overtaking is safer be- cause there's more reserve power In every gear. The engine itself, although increased to 40 horse power, still retains its famous economy. A pleasant thought. Synchronized first gears Now you can shift down to first gear without stopping the car. At low spee ds you change straight down with a flick of the wrist and zoom 9 Ontario Street, away. This eliminates a lot of stop-and- start driving. Four synchronized speeds is a luxury rarely found even in the more expensive cars, But to have it in a car of Volkswagen's size and price is quite amazing. The ratios of all four gears have been changed too so you can use every ounce of extra power developed by the new engine, the new VW is as nimble as a needle in traffic and more fun than a fair. Increased luggage space: Volkswagen's luggage space is now an ample 10 cubic feet; 5 behind the back seat and 5 up front WW's engine is in the rear of course). blow the Volkswagen goes to market and runs all the way homewith your groceries under the hood.

The joint meeting agreed that the year-end of the On- tario Hog Producers Marketing Board and the Co-operative be on the same date; that one an- nual meeting be held and one financial statement issued showing both the operations of the Marketing Board and the Co-operative. In 'addition, a consolidated statement would be issued co-ordinating the two. Date of the closing of the fis- cal year has yet to be decided. The joint meeting agreed to a redistribution of electoral zones. At present there are seven electoral zones which will be increased to nine. In addi- tion the number of directors at large will be reduced from four to two. All zone directors will be elected in the zones prior to the annual meeting with the directors at large being elected at the 'annual meeting. The boundaries of zones will be de- termined by the Hog Producers Marketing Board on agree- ment with the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board. The zones will be based on hog production, numbers of producers, and geographic lo- cation. It was announced that the Ontario Hog Produeess Co-op- erative would be retained as 'the marketing agency without change in its powers and pur- poses as they now exist. The Ontario Hog Producers Marketing Board said that no- tification of their meetings would be sent to the Farm Products Marketing Board with an invitation to have a repre- sentative of the Ontario board to sit in on any meetings they so desired. Bull Sale Moved To Oakville Next Year Only Building expansion program to be undertaken at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair next year will make •it necessary for the Ontario 1961 show and sale of beef -bulls in March to be transferred to a new location. As a result the directors of the sponsoring organization have decided to hold the show and sale at 'the Hays Sales Arena, on number five highway about five miles north of Oakville. As in the past the sale will be held under the sponsorship of the Ontario Beef Cattle Im- provement Association manag- ed by W. P. Watson, secretary- treasurer of the organization. In order to avoid the possi- bility of overcrowding, no at- tempt will be made to have all entries on the premises at the same time. Instead the Angus and Shorthorn bulls will be de- livered on Monday, March 13, and sold on the following day. Thus the stabling accommoda- tion will be available for re- ceiving the Hereford bulls on Wednesday, March 15, in pre- paration for •the Sate of bulls of this breed on March 16. All 'bulls delivered to the premises will be inspected by a culling committee and only those that are approved' will be eligible for the sales, All apprioved bulls will be eligible for the shows which will be held in conjunction with each sale. Incidentally, show- ing will be optional, with each breeder having •the right to de- cide whether he wishes to par- tieipate. In the latter connee- 'hien the culling and thawing will take niece on the morning of the day The bulls of that taw(' are scheduled to be sold. The typical family man has a billfold full of pictures arid no money. in looking over the report of the Meet Packers Council I find some interesting figures. During the first half of 1960 the average weekly marketing of togs decreased from 1.71,000 to 150,000. I wonder just what this means to the farmers? The gross returns per week probably hasn't changed much since there has been a definite increase in price. This means that the 'producer has probably changed from a break even, or loss position to a profit posi- tion. That is if he is still pro- ducing, Who is responsible for this drop in production? Is it a few cyf the largest producers that have gone out of business or is it a large number of small producers? With 21,000 less hogs to pro- cess what has become of this labour force? Are many of them now in the ranks of the unemployed? Or was this ex- tra quantity of pork processed largely on overtime? In either case fewer dollars will be in the hands of the 'consumers to purchase merchandise of all Binds. Whee a farmer finds' himself short of money and with extra time on his hands he gets an extra cow or two or a few more pigs or hens to try to make up the deficiency. What Pigeons Can Cause Pneumonia Virus In Cattle Herd Pigeons! Keep them out of your barn —especially if they are the wild kind that drop in uninvited! There's' a good chance that one out of three of them carry the Psittacosis virus, a disease that can cause pneumonia in cattle. "Young calves are usually the victim," says Dr. Howard Neely of the Ontario Veterin- ary College. "They become in- fected by inhaling the dust from dried pigeon droppings, or by eating the hay or meal with the droppings." Surveys of pigeon flocks in Southern Ontario by the On- tario Veterinary College reveal- ed 'that 35 percent of healthy pigeons carried the virus, re- ports Dr. Neely. Apparently the pigeon itself is resistant to the disease. "In experiments, passage of infectious material -from one calf to another increased the virulence of the virus," he adds. "It resulted in 'a shipping fev- er type of illness with death in 24 to 48 hours." A survey showed that at least 45 percent of cases of virus' pneumonia in cattle are associated with viruses of Psit- tacosis. Don't confuse it with a milder type of pneumonia characterized by runny nose and eyes, cough and diarrhea. "Even humans can contact the disanse," reports Dr. Nee- ly. "One farmer used to col- lect wild pigeon feathers from his barn to prevent cattle from eating 'them. He used to put them in the same pocket as his hankerchief and then later dis- pose of them. He got pneu- monia, supposedly from breath- ing in the infected dust from his handkerchief." does the factory worker do when he finds that the ten dollars a week extra overtime pay, to which he has become accustomed, disappears? Does he make op the difference by taking on some odd jobs or does he simply cut down on his purchases? Cattle marketings have in- creased somewhat so perhaps that will take care of the em- ployment problem in the pack- ing industry, The same problem must be affecting those employed in the handling of eggs, Production has decreased and by the same amount so has the need for labour. Just what answer do those who promote the idea that the answer to the farmer's problem is reduced preditetiori, haye for this decreased labour requirement? Certainly if lab- our is unemployed it cannot purchase farm produce. Reduc- ed production to increase price seems quite simple but let us realize that it Also creates 109' Wein% I have been watching the egg market with interest Three items seem to be Im- P9tittrnt faSters.

This of course is the way we ;should, expect the market to behave but the fluctuations are much too ex- treme and certainly not -to 'the producers liking, Let's hope that our poultry organization can develop an improved mar- keting method for eggs.
