Hunt, Shipper Phone 773 (Special report on the ninth annual convention of the Ont- ario Farmers' Union in Mem- orial Hall O,A,C,, Guelph, October 24, 25, X) Allan Schroeder, an official of the United Auto Workers, speaking on Monday said the wages paid Canadian auto wor- kers have little to do with the price of cars, He said labor costs on one standard automo- bile or a email truck are about $350 and estimated labor costs of farm machinery Would be about the same proportion. In 1945, Mr. Schroeder said wag- es amounted to 33.9 per cent of the cost of manufactured farm machinery. In 1957 la- bor's share had dropped to 22.9 per cent. "Wages have gone up but production per worker has gone up a great deal more". Be told of an assembly line at G.M.C, that had been reduced from 225 to 14, the result of automation. Asked from the floor why auto and farm equ- ipment prices had gone up dur- ing the same period he answ- ered: "Most car and tractor prices are not set by wages. One firm aims to get 20 per cent on capital investment. During the past 10 years it has aver- aged 25 per cent. They get their investment returned ev- ery four years", Greetings from the Inter- Provincial Farm Union Council were brought by its chariness 44. P. Cleave, also president of the Saskatchewan Farmer's Union, "Continually declining farm income and the resulting mi- gration from farm to city are major factors contributing to rising unemployment and are a'agghig the Canadian econ- omy into depression," he said, Mr, Cleave explained the farm- er is one of the largest mar- kets for consumer and capital goods, "How much better a market he would be if he was in a healthy financial position with adequate income, rather than being as he is today, 'the low man on the totem pole". To bring the economy back into gear the Farm Union lea- der suggested expanded mark- ets, both at home and abroad. "We have the land, resources, and technical know-how; what we need is the people to make use of our abundances and let others share it, both at home and abroad." Alvin Hamilton, federal min- ister of Agriculture, delivered hsi first public address since his appointment, to the dele- gates on Tuesday. He told the audience that since he feels emotionally involved with the field of agrieulture, he Prom- ises to do all in his power to solve the many problems facing the farmers today, Mr. Ham-, ilton said that it is his belief that the farmers will have to go through a period of trans- ition into other forms of pro- clueing commodities from the land. As an example he cited the forecast that by 1.965 pulp and paper requirements in Canada will be increased by 60 per cent. He suggested that many farmers con increase th- eir future income by planting trees and moving into this field of production. A spirited question period followed Mr. Hamilton's ad,- dress. It reached a climax when one of the delegates re- ferred to some of the Minister's remarks as nothing but "wrig- gling around the facts." Vis- ibly angered, Mr. Hamilton rose and defended his position, saying that the government un- der John Diefenbaker had done more in the last three years for farmers than any previous government had in 25 years. Mrs, Mary McIntosh, wom- en's president of the Manitoba Farmers Union, and former school teacher delivered a dy- namic address to the conven- tion on Wednesday. In her opening remarks she said that there is no division between eastern and western farmers. Their problems affect one an- other and they must present a united front in the interest of agriculture. Mrs. McIntosh said that in Manitoba the cash in- come is down 4.4 per cent in the first six months of this year. "Women and children have provided the slave labour that has kept farmers in bus- iness for too long", she said. "Farmers have constantly been told they must become more efficient, and this has re- sulted in increased production, greater surpluses and lower prices," the speaker continued. "Steel mills run 50-70 per cent capacity, but this doesn't mean lower prices, and can hardly be termed "efficiency", she said. Mrs. McIntosh strongly con- demmecl the system of acreage payments for western farmers. She said it was strange that the number of farmers accord- ing to statistics, had declined but the number of permits is- sued for acreage payments had increased by a large number. Agriculture, like education, has become everybody's busin- ess. Today's farmers are at the mercy of too many cold, cal- culating hands; people with no compassion. She cited an ex- ample in the "gummy, sodden, mess known today as bread." "The wheat germ is remov- ed. Maturing agents, preserva- tives, bleaches, etc. are added." She suggested if the processor did as well as the producer, we might have a product wor- thy of the name. Mrs. McIntosh said she be- lieved the increasing number of farm organizations were not in the best interests of agricul- ture, but the result of a desire for power. She advocated one strong organization with rep- resentatives from all commod- ities. "Too many little groups tend to weaken us and- are costly to farmers," she said.

Mr. Hallahan noted the small attendance and said that this could be taken as an in- dication that Cream Producers are reasonably satisfied with the activities of their organiza- tion. However he pointed out that it is also dangerous when members fail to come out and indicate their support. There is continual pressure being ex- erted to allow butter substi- tutes to imitate the colour of butter. In order to prevent this strong support on the part of producers is needed. Mr. Hotson, St. Marys, zone director told us that it had been expected that we would have a four months supply of butter, in storage at the end of October but due to dry pas- tures production had dropped' off and sales were being made out of storage earlier this year and will reduce stocks consid- erably. ulted as follows: president, Mel.

Of the resolutions discussed a tenpoint resolution concern- ing hog marketing came in for a lot of discussion and com- ment before being adopted. It asked for a marketing board of 11 members, each repres- enting one of 11 zones, and el- ected at a meeting or hog pro- ducers in his own zone. The resolution asked also that the Ontario Hog Producers Mark- eting Board have no connect- ion, direct or indirect, with any processing plant, co-oper- ative or not. Results of other resolutions Will be heard on Thursday ni- ght November 3, at a meeting in the agricultural office board rooms in Clinton, when Charles McNaughton, MLA, Exeter will be present. Education will also be discussed and anyone inter- ested is invited to attend.

Carl Heming- way, Brussels is secretary. Committee members are Doug- las Fraser, RR 2, Brussels; Lorne Hasty, RR 1, Dungannon; Simon Hallahan, Belgrave; Jam- es Williamson, Walton and Ken Baker, RR 2, Dashwood. Huron has seven official dele- gates to the provincial meeting. William Hotson, St. Marys, zone director, commented that they had learned to live with margarine and now the soy bean growers support the idea of non-coloured margarine. However, consumption of but- ter declined six percent while margarine consumption increas- ed 11. % during the past year. Though population increases, the consumption of butter decreas- es. "Does this mean the next generation is being educated away from butter?" He noted that butter people spend 10c for every $100 of but- ter for promotion. The margar- ine folk spend $2.00 for every $100 of business. Bob Morrison, Toronto, sec- retary of the provincial group attended. quality cream is needed for this to continue. Mr. Morrison explained that there is a real need for great- er co-operation among milk producers and a direction 'pro- gram with some form of price blending is needed to increase returns to the dairy farmer on a more equitable level. The following county direc- tors were elected: Horace Del- bridge, chairman; Rae Hous- ton, vice-chairman; and dh-ec- tors, Doug Fraser, Lorne Hay, Simon Hallahan, James Wil- liamfon and Ken Baker. 441 Clubs Have Second Place Wins At OAC Seven teams of 4-H members represented Huron County at the Provincial 4-H Interclub Competition held at O.A.C.

The November Session of HURON COUNTY COUNCIL will be held in the COURT HOUSE, GODERICK commencing Tuesday, Nov. 22nd Any communications in con- nection therewith, should be in the hands of the •Clerk-,Treasur- er not later than Friday, Noe vember 18th. JOHN O. BERRY, Clerk-Treasurer, County of Huron, Court House, Goderich, Ont, 44eb He also pointed out that though population is increass ing, consumption of butter is decreasing and this raised the question, "Are our children being educated away from the use of butter?". This is par- ticularly interesting in the light of a statement made by a recent visitor to Russia when he stated that in Russia butter substitutes are not con- sidered healthful, particularly for children, and are therefore used only to a limited degree in baking. We were also told that for every $100 worth of butter sold only ten cents is spent on ad- vertising; while for butter sub- stitutes for each $100 of sales $2.00 is spent on promotion of the product. Bob Morrison, Ontar io Cream Producer secretary- manager, complimented Huron County in the fine job , done by this year's Dairy Princess, Miss Doreen Howatt, Belgrave. e • With regard to advertising: the Ontario Producers paid their full quota to the Dairy Farmers of Canada for this purpose but suggested that perhaps we should be doing still more. He expressed appreciation to creamery operators for their efforts in manufacturing a top quality product.
