A strong :exponent ,of free
enterprise, Ron McGregor, RR
2, Kippell, reopened his ruin-
ing feud with the Huron Fed-
eration of Agriculture at the
latter group's meeting last
week, but appeared to 1 o s e
most of his arguments,
McGregor opened his battle
with a letter in this news-
paper during the summer when
he chastised the Federation
for their attempts to have a
government grain testing sta,
tion set up in the county, after
some members had reported
farmers were receiving varying
tests for identical samples of
grain at various county mills.
"It is typical of the Feder-
ation to try and arouse sus-
picion and distrust between
farm producers and private
enterprise," he stated in the
letter.
Noting that grain testers
could be purchased by farmers,
he questioned why the entire
population should be put to
the expense of opening and op-
erating a government grain
test.
His letter was answered, also
in this newspaper, by Elmer
Ireland, president of the Fed-
eration, who invited McGregor
to attend a meeting and prom-
ised that the executive would
be glad to bring him up to.
date on the work of the Fed-
eration of Agriculture.
At Tuesday's meeting, , Mc-
Gregor reported he had owned
an oil moisture tester for 15
years, and in that period of
time had never had anything
but accurate tests from the
grain mills on the basis of his
own tests.
He reported he had also
tested grain for 'other farmers
before they sent produce to
the mills, "and we have yet to
find any mill, test inaccurate."
"Why are you against a gov-
ernment • test?" Alex McGreg-
or, vice-president of the Fed-
eration, asked.
"Because it's an unneeded
expense," he was, told.
Alex McGregor then pointed
out it would be much cheaper
for the government to set up
a testing station than to have
each farmer buy a tester. He:
based his argument on the fact
that McGregor (Ron) had 're-
ported such a tester had cost-
him $1.35, although he did add
that it would be much less to
fabricate one.
"It would cost less than a
television," Ron McGregor ex-
plained, and added that far-
mers would also be able to use
the tester for all their grain,
not only that being sold to
mills.
"There's too much being run
by the government now in my
absolute opinion," Ron Mc-
Gregor.' opined.
Bob Eaton, zone fieldman. far
the Federation, pointed out
that it would cost over a mil-
lion dollars to have every far-
mer in Huron buy a grain test-
er, while the cost for a govern-
ment station would be so much
more economical in compar-
ison.
He also pointed out that the
government was the people,
and seeking a government gr-
ain tester was a case of the
people trying to help thein-
selves.
Switches to Hogs
Apparently realizing he was
getting nowhere in his argu-
ment over a grain tester, Mc-
Gregor, who is vice-president
of the Huron Free Enterprise
Producers, then attacked var-
ious situations in the Ontario
Hog Marketing Board, a setup
backed by the Federation of
Agriculture and the majority
of farmers in Huron.
He reported he had been try-
ing to get a more detailed
financial report on the h o g
marketing operation, but when
he had asked Alf Warne r,
Bayfield, a director at large
on the Board, for information,
he was told to go to Oxford
County to get details.
(Oxford County is one of the
strong-holds of the Free Ent-
erprise and from where they
have a director on the Hog
Board),
McGregor stated he then
wrote Emerson Crocker, Moles-
worth, EttrOn-Middlesex,
tor on the Board, in an effort
to get the information,
After waiting a "considerable
time" for an answer, McGreg-
or stated he then sent .a reg-
istered letter, requesting en
answer.
Again McGregor stated he
was told to go to Oxford Coun-
ty for his information,
Crocker, who was 'at the
Meeting, denied that he had
ever told McGregor to do that,
when he visited him at his
Kippen area home.
McGregor stated he could
bring in a witness to prove
that Crocker had told him to
go to Oxford County, but Cr-
ocker reported, it couldn't be
proven in court.
"Yes it can," McGregor re-
torted.
"No," Crocker replied. 'Your
wife can't testify and she was
the only witness present."
McGregor then changed the
tone of the questioning, noting
he had not attended the Meet-
ing to cause trouble, 'and asked
several questions of Crocker in
regard to the financial opera-
tion of the Marketing Board.
Crocker answered all those
..for which he had figures, but
noted he would not give ans-
wers unless he could back up
his statements with records.
He noted it would cost vast
sums of money to produce de-
tailed financial reports for ev-
ery hog producer in Ontario,
and termed such a move "fin-
ancially ridiculous".
However, he did, tell McGreg-
or that reports were available
from the various directors and
would be made available if as-
ked for in a gentlemanly man-
ner.
Questions Membership
McGregor then asked of the
meeting how the membership
was attained for the Federa-
tion of Agriculture.
In his earlier letter he not-
ed he wondered what would
happen if the Federation "had
to operate on membership dues
(as do most organizations)
without grants. How, great a
membership they could claim?"
Bob Eaton explained mem-
bership was paid either in 'a
direct township • levy against
each fanner, which was option-
al and farmers did not have
to pay, or else townships gave
a grant and in effect this made
all township residents mem-
bers. ,
McGregor pointed out that
the latter system was unfair
as residents in hamlets a n d
villages were being assessed
when they had no interest in
the organization.
Harvey Coleman, former St-
anley Township reeve, counter-
ed this argument by pointing
out that many such instances
were present in township bus-
Ines's, explaining that many
farmers were helping to pay
