Thanking you Mr. Editor, Ross Love Hay Township Support Present Plan Again this year Huron County Hog Producers are being given an opportunity to endorse the present hog marketing plan. The annual meeting of the Huron Hog Producers on Feb- ruary 12 gave many an op- portunity•to express their views on our present hog marketing plan and many interesting facts were revealed. Ontario Hog Producers re- ceived a higher price for their hogs in 1962 than producers did in any other part of this con- tinent so this speaks well for our method of selling hogs and the Ontario Hog Marketing Plan. One of the speakers, Roy At- kinson, of Saskatchewan, indi- cated that hog producers in the three Prairie Provinces were looking upon our plan with great favor and stated that a hog marketing plan was about to be organized for the pro- ducers in the west. Through a, great deal of ef- fort and time in past years on the part of our Federation of Agriculture we obtained farm marketing legislation and by this we were able to have a marketing plan for farm com- modities.

And you get all these important advantages: 1 GOOD DRIVERS SAVE MONEY--. Allstate doesn't believe that good drivers should pay the same rates as drivers who have accidents. At Allstate, every driver with an accident-free record gets a special low rate. You probably qualify-8 out of 10 motorists do. 2 FAST, FAIR CLAIM SERVICE—If you ever need help, there are over 5,000 full-time Allstate claims people across Canada and the U.S. as near to you as the nearest phone. 5 MORE CANADIANS INSURE WITH ALLSTATE—Allstate is a big, reliable company insuring more cars in Canada than any other company. it's grown big because it has consistently offered top-quality auto insurance that the average motorist can afford. 4 EASY PAYMENT PLAN—Allstate insurance is easy to buy—only 25% down, and 15% each month for five months. A small charge of 50 cents per payment is made for this con- venient plan. Insured motorists avoid $20 penalty Unless you carry auto liability Insur- ance, the Ontario Government requires you to pay a $20 penalty at registra- tion.

Dear Sir: In view of the upcoming elec-, Lion for Hog 'Producer com- mitteemen, I would like to ex- press some points for the care- ful consideration of the hog :men of Huron County.. 1, The present marketing sys- tem is compulsory. If, as its supporters claim, it is a super- ior form of marketing, why must it be compulsory? Let us market our hogs as We wish. If the present form is super- ior, farmers are smart enough to use the method that proves itself best. 2. The teletype system. The supporters of this system tell us it is so superior that it is being adopted in other coun- tries. What they always omit is that where it has been adopted its use is voluntary and it must compete with other methods of sale. . 3. Price fluctuations. During recent marketings, according to newspaper reports, hog prices have fluctuated as much as $4.30 per cwt. in one day. When packers buy, they buy at a price that will allow a margin of profit. If a packer buys at $32, for instance and no doubt makes a profit, what profit must he make when the price drops $3 or $4 before the end of the ,day? 4. Shrink. Under the present arrangement, hogs are loaded and unloaded more often than necessary. Often they are trucked farther than necessary. This causes unnecessary car- cass shrink and damage and lowers the return to the farm- er. 5. FAME. In recent news items about FAME, its promot- ers have been quoted as saying that a price will be given a week in advance. How can this be clone under the present compulsory market- ing scheme? Are FAME shareholders go- ing to work within or outside this present compulsory mark- eting scheme? Why are some of the same men who promoted this com- pulsory marketing scheme, now promoting a packing plant? 6. Condemnation Insurance. When a packer buys hogs, he must . take into consideration that some hogs will have to be condemned, This must be a, factor in de- termining the price he will pay. If a farmer paid condemna- tion insurance, as in former years, it would have a bearing on the price paid for hogs. When a farmer buys a trac- tor, a car, a farm, a bag of feed, or fertilizer or anything else, he makes comparisons for quality and price, For the coming federal elec- tion, voters are making compar- isons among the various candi- dates and parties. Should we not be allowed the same privilege of choice in marketing our hogs? I have no objection to farm- ers operating co-operatives or co-operative packing plants, etc. My objection is to the compuls- ory part of this system and what this compulsion could lead to. Ronald MacGregor, RR, 3, Kippen. Model For Others To The Editor: On behalf of the Huron Coun- ty Hog Producers I would like to extend my thanks to the producers who have supported me and my fellow committee- men for the continuance of our present system of market- ing hogs. In spite of the opposition we are receiving from a very small group, the eyes of the world are loking at this new teletype system of selling. A number of delegations have been over from the United States taking a look at our system and already some of the South Western States are adopting our system of selling their products. Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba have all had delega- tions here to see our teletype system and they say that in- side of a year they will be or- ganized and selling their hogs under this same system. We have been receiving the highest prices of any place in the North American Continent, around $6,00 a cwt higher than the US and around $3.00 a cwt higher than the Western prov- inces. Surely this is proof en- ough that the system is good. We know that at times the spread in price from clay to day is great but under auction selling where you are selling to the highest bidder at all times. this is impossible to overcome, When averaging up their to- tal sales for a year I think the procluders are all receiving about the same. Pooling of Prices has been considered but this has received very little support so far. Our opposition say 'they want a Hog Producers Organization without compulsion, but they offer no alternative. Without compulsion we go back to the old system of dumping our hogs at the back door of the pack- ers and they set the price. In almost every ease these producers that are opposing our system of selling are increasing their hog numbers. This is something that annoys me. The hog vote is on March 5. It is to be hoped that every producer will get out and vote Plan Tournament For, tlouse Leagues Clinten Recreation Committee decided last Thursday to notify all service groups and other re- creational .organizations in _Clin- ton that expenditures made on recreation programs should be PaSSed- through the .books of the Recreation Committee, This will enable all the groups to mon— ies poses in Clinton, The group also, voted to pay their $10 membership to the Lake Huron Zone Recreation Council to be able to take part in special events staged by this body.

Discussion will also be held on a hroomball tournament for the zone. en an egg marketing plan this year and producers are gener- ally agreed that it should bene- fit them. 1 regard it my duty to ex- press my views on producer marketing and I therefore ad- vise all producers to support the marketing plans for farm commodities that will come be- fore you in the near future.
