H. Miles, agri- culture representative, that claims for livestock lost through the carelessness of hunters should be reported immediately to his Offieo. Be reported he had received one claim to date since the legislation had been approved by the government, but point- ed out the report had come after a lengthy delay since the date of the incident.' He urged the Federation to advise members that claims should be sent in immediately upon loss. The agriculture representa- tive also reported that a farm management course would be given over CKNX TV at 1:30 p.m. for seven consecutive Sat- urdays, commencing on Febru- ary 8. He urged that watching, these important and informative lect- ures should be considered as part of the "chores" done by farmers. Carl Hemingway, Ontario director •. for FAME, reported that farmers' enthusiasm for the project was higher than it ever had been and this was reflected 'in the fact that on Monday morning of this week, the highest number of share applications in the history of the organization had 'arrived at the office. He also pointed ,out that with their own processing plants in operation, farmers will be int- erested in the wholesale price of meat rather than cattle, just as ordinary farmers in the past have been interested 'in the price of livestock rather than the price of grain.

Since my feed and labour costs are almost constant the only way I could retain a sim- iler income would be to have the supplier of wearers pay me $2.00 per pig to take them off his hands. Incidentally these weaners had cost me $10.00 each. The result is 'that due to a change in "price" my income was reduced by $12.00 per pig. On 400 pigs per year this becomes a very important part of farm income. In my cattle program I have a cow-calf herd and for the 'next year or two I expect to be selling mainly feeders. I have . heard it said that beef feeders make their money when they buy, bill I certainly hope that they don't expect me to reduce the price of my stocker calves sufficiently to take care of any price drop in finished cattle. As time goes on I hope to be able to retain all the calves and finish them for market, When this happens again my costs will be relatively constant and my income will be very closely determined by selling price. 'My income, and I think that of the 'great majority of farm- ers, is directly dependant on sale price. Control of costs may very 'well determine whe- ther my income is good or bad but tale price determines whe- ther it is better or Worse than last year. If farmers are to have a rea- sonable return on their capital investment, plus la Minimum hourly Wage, they must im- prove their income. Happy New Yeart But how happy it will be depends on how effectively farmers can prove the sale price of their products. 0 (Continued from Page 2) to use a room at the school to conduct their regular month- ly meetings. Once again granted author- ization for the borrowing of up to $300,000 to conduct the corn- ing year's business. This is the same amount as provided last year. Took no action on a notice that Goderich school bus oper- ators were unable to find suit- able parking space in Clinton. Due to the fact other operators had found their own accom- modation, the board felt the Goderich concern should be able to do so as well. Deferred a request for a gr- ant of approximately $125 for the Ontario Curriculum Insti- tute until more information could be had on the nature of the work carried on by the group. One member noted that if the group was helping to make improvements in curric- ulum, they should be paid by the department of education, rather than by grants from school boards.

Pick Slate A very successful executive meeting of the UCW was held man, reported that survey work had already been done for a water pipe line from Lake Hu- ron to London, which will pass through part of Stephen Town- ship in the south of Huron. He said the OFA properties department is presently pre- paring a booklet to give guid- ance to farmers for adequate compensation. He also reported that while the amendment to the Bank- ruptcy Act presented in a pri- vate member's bill had not been passed by the federal govern- ment, it 'seemed probable 'that it would be incorporated into government legislation during the next session. (By J. CARL HEMINGWAY) Farming in this fine country should be a happy occupation. However if farmers are to have a happy 1964 they will need to have some hope of being able to Increase their income at a rate comparable With those in other sections of our economy. This reminds me of a little quotation, 'I am a great be- liever in luck and I find 'the harder I work the more I have of it”. If farmers are to have a Happy New Year in 1964 I think this will need to be their attitude. However advice, is confusing, A. P. Gleave, president Nat- ional Farmers Union, speaking at the annual convention, is re- ported in the Winnipeg Free Press as urgently 'advising the prairie farmers to make an all- out effort to get the necessary legisilatien passed to permit far- mers to set up a hog marketing plan. The objective, as reported, is to increase the farmers income by obtaining higher prices for hogs through the better method of 'bargaining that could be ob- tained 'through a producer mar- keting board. On the other hand an account of the truce 'County Beef Im- provement Assoc, in December 15 issue of thesPaisley, Advocate quotes 'the Agr. Representative as follows, "Beef men place too mudh stress on price." "Price is less than half of beef success. Cost of production 'is the thing", he said, How important is this price of livestock in relation to farm income? .Perhaps my own farm cpper- aim could provide a good ex- ample. I should be classified as a "feeder" of hogs and as a "prodheer" of cattle and in both cases my production it matched to the feed that it grown on my own farim Just how 'is "price" and "cost" related to my income The re- lationship of cost of feed 'to my income is altnost constant on a steadily increasing basis. Only serious crop failure or an exceptionally good crop will af- fect my incorne in a rnaltited degree, In the case of hogs there might be some truth in the strest on 'Costs but 'even then it cannot be ale more important factor.
