GARNET CROWE, at Clinton HU 2-3242. 45b Second guest speaker at the county meeting of Ontario Far- mers Union last Thursday night was Charles S. Mac- Naughton, MLA, Exeter. He told his listeners about a trip taken this summer along with the Ontario Minister of Agri- culture W. A. Goodfellow and others to the United Kingdom and certain European count- ries. Mr. MacNaughton was in- traduced by Mrs, T. Goven-. lock, Seaforth, who thanked him for help given in the past with regard to getting settle- ment with the Ontario Hydro for easement on farm lands. The speaker told of the Na- tional Food Show in London, England, where many Count- ries had food exhibits and not- ed that Canada was out-done by many of these. This was the first year that Canada had exhibits at this show, Many of those attending were house- wives "The people who actual- ly buy the goods from, the store counters". Mr. MacNaughton emphasiz- ed that Canada should be get- ting a greater share of Eng- land's food dollar. "The people like Canadian foods. They like the better quality, and they like the idea of buying from Canada. They are proud of Canada as their great big adult child. Over there the common- wealth is more •of a great big family than we think of it here," Mr. MacNaughton noted the high regard in which Cana-. diens were held. "At first we are taken for Americans," he said. "We dress like Amer-- -cans, and I guess, look like them. At first you get pretty short shrift, for, sorry to say, US prestige abroad is not good. But as soon as they know you are a Canadian, the door opens wide." He noted that the Canadian price is out of line, but that the people of England are wil- ling to pay a premium price for Canadian goods. "I believe we can double our sales there if we put our backs to it." Wheat, cheese, bacon, canned fruits and vegetables, and white beans are all in. demand, "Everyone over there is do- ing a day's work for .4 day's pay," • said Mr, Maellaughton, "and I contend this applies here. Our sharp imbalance of trade indicates the bubble is C. S. MacNaughton, MLA soon to burst. Subsidies and deficiency payments are all palliatives, not the real cure." In the discussion period which followed, Bob Welsh asked: "How is the primary producer to follow •his product through to make these sales?" Mr. MacNaughton said, "It only gets back to the farmer having control of his own pro- duct. The UK likes raw milk cheese. I believe cheese is one product the producer can keep control of." Mr. Welsh asked what could be done when in Eastern On- tario the large firms are buy- ing up cheddar plants and clos- ing them. Mr. MacNaughton said that overseas people would be happy to sign a con- tract with the bean board for the whole crop, if it were 'av- ailable, on an adjustable price formula. This would require the bean board to contract for that amount of acreage. "Why 1 not do the name with cheese?" Suggestions from the floor were for controlled production, such as advised by Alvin Ham- iltony federal minister of agri- culture, or to devalue the dol- lar. Mr. MacNaughton said, yes, or else reduce wages where the proper amount of work effort is not being put forth. When, the subject of hog pro- ducers processing plants: came up, Mr. MacNaughton ' com- mented on the widesJread con- sideration this had been given. "You know, you can be half way around the world, sitting in the sun in Paris, France, along the famed Champs Ely- sees, and before you know it you're talking hogs, and Char- les McInnis." Carl Dalton said he didn't believe they could process meat any cheaper than those people already in it. Mr, MacNaugh- ton agreed. Another man commented that "The packers say they could continue to pay the fanner as much as he gets now, and give away the pro- cessed meat, and still make money. If this is so, how are we going to compete with them?" Another member of the audience spoke up, "Could the packers not start raising hogs, and get around the matter of compulsory marketing?" Mr. MacNaughton replied',' "Well CoPaCo is operating outside the Hog Producers Board right now, and is doing well, you all know that." Another member in the audience asked, "What hap- pen's if this fund raising plan falls through? Who pays for the expense of selling deben- tures, etc." Bob Taylor re- marked, "Well, they've said it comes from 'the 40 cent de-. duction on each hog, The OFU feels it should come out of United Co-operatives of On- tario." Another man asked, "Why should I he contributing to- wards the raising of this money, when I'm not in favour of the idea at all?", Mr. Mac- Naughton noted, "Well your strength is in Bill 86. Now maybe all that ruckus which was put up last year will be proved unnecessary. Bill 86 prevents that 40 cents being used in this way." Bob Taylor commented that "When the Ontario Federation of Agriculture took a luke- warm stand on Bill 86 they lost a good deal of the grant they got from the Hog Pro- ducers." Someone else said, "Well, the hog producers can't make a grant 'to the OFA, now because of Bill 86." Mr. MacNaughton said, "Well, I don't believe the Farm Products Marketing Board would stand in the way of such a grant, but this is one of the weaknesses of the OFA. They depend on the support of these groups and so they must pay lip service to them. You people don't. You can stand on your own." Mr. Taylor said he didn't believe very many of the pro- ducers marketing board's go back often enough to 'the people for direction. • Bob Welsh explained' that it was the investor in FAME who would stand any loss which was involved, not the fanner. The debenture issue would be the same as any other set up for any corporation, and only those persons who bought de- bentures would be involved. If the project fell through, then money would be returned to the investor, less costs, or plus interest. Queried about the directors of the FAME board, Mr. Mac- naughton said, "I understand all of the provisional directors are members of the hog board. This is not unusual. Any- one's name can be put in for the first directors. Then usual- ly as 'time goes on, some of these resign and others are elected." NEWS OF KIPPEN (Correspondent, MRS. N. ,M,,ONO,.
