SHOP IN CLINTON THIS CHRISTMAS -46w.04,kgratg,... .:•14$7.4,440,•:•: , • The regular monthly meeting of the Huron County Federa- tion of Argiculture was held on December 10 in Clinton with newly-elected' president; Alex McGregor in the chair. McGregor welcomed a number of new directors and asked for their support,' Elmer Hunter, who had at- tended Folks school at Orillia in October thanked the direct- ors for nominating him as • a candidate to attend :and re- ported an interesting week. He reported. that the suject ARDA was discussed at great length. ARDA is a program to pro- vide provincial or federal as- sistance to Rural Comrriunities who want to make specific plans to help themselves. Alex McGregor was nomin- ated to attend the Rural Lead- ership Forum in Orillia in Feb- ruary. Elmer Ireland will at- tend the Co-operative and Marketing Workshop in Guelph on January 2 and 3. A number of directors ex- pressed interest in Farmers' week which will be held Feb- ruary 24 to 28 at Ontario Agri- culture College at Guelph. Programs for this can be ob- tained from the Agricultural Office in Olinton. All farmers are invited to attend one or more days. Alf ,_Warner, director of the Ontario Hog Producers Market- ing Board, gave a very inter- esting report and stated that they were having a number of dead and bruised hogs arriving at the processors' plants which they were' reluctant to pay for. Early in the year a commit- tee was set up to make a study of the situation. The result of the committee's work, as re- ported to the last meeting of the board, is a sharing of loss- es by an assessment of three percent of the trucker's rate, contributed by the processor, producer and trucker. If this does not cover the loss, the trucker to make up the balance on a penalty basis. "Your board feels this will finalize the problem, and we hope to get this in operation early in the new year," Mr. Warner said. The annual meeting of the Huron County producers will be held on February 11. The Federation of AgriCul- ture is again sponsoring a meeting with the four area members of the federal and provincial governments on De-r camber 27 at Clinton. HOW are Opinipns formed? I suppose we could say that we form our opinions and arrive at. decisions on the 'basis of in- formation at hand. But 'how do we assess the value or the soundness, of the information available? Perhaps the next step is to investigate the source of the infermation. What is more im- portant to yoe—what is said or who says it? I think most of us agree that the "Who" carries art least as much weight as the "what". What about the people or firms, with whom you do busi- ness? ' There is a great deal of emphasis placed on the relia- bility of brand names, company names; these indicate a quality and reliability of the product or perhaps .the opposite. If I suddenly began doing business under the name of Spruce Lane Farms for ex- ample, would it mean anything to the general public? Even if I wrote letters signing my name under a Spruce Lane Farms I might just be a secrd- tary-treasurer, manager or pos- sibly owner. All very nicely confusing to the people with whom I might be dealing. I wonder how many farmers realize how many corporations are conducting business under a multiplicity of names? From the Survey of Indus- trials for 1962, published by the Financial Post, I find. that Canada Packers, . Wm. Davies Co. Inc. Chicago, Danville Packing. Co., Frank Hunnisett. Harris Abattoir Co. Ltd., Col-. lls Leather Co, Ltd., Breaclmore & Co. Ltd., Calgary ,Packers Ltd., rather Industries Ltd., Federal Cold Storage and: W'arehousin'g Co.' Ltd. and sal Ltd. to all intents and purr poses one and, the same come pony, Maple Leaf Mills Limited was formed by a merger of the lVfe!ple Leaf Milling Co. and Toronto Elevators in 1961. This Maple Leaf Milling Co., Tor- onto Elevators, Sarnia Eleva- tor co., Hogg & Lytle, St. Clair Grain & Feeds, Canada Bread Co. Ltd., Canadian Bakeries, Hedley Shaw Milling Co., Port Colborne & St, Lawrence'Na.vi, gation Co., The Campbell Flour Mills Co., Pioneer Cafeteria Feeds, Eastern Bakeries Ltd., The Iirackmen,Ker Milling Co„ Sky Line Farms Ltd., • Maple Leaf Purity Mills, McGavin Toast Master Ltd. again are for all practical purposes, one. and the same company.. These are only two, examples. There are several 'hundred companies listed in this Sur- vey of Industrials and I ex- pect if I were to condense each one as above, the result would be amazingly small. Just how much then does the farmer know about the buyers of his product and how much does .the consumer' know about the manufacturers of the commodity which he buys? When one company takes. over another It seems to. me - that the, name of the eoMPaPy purchased should ,c.1:/$4pPoPx%. When n1PVggrS are formed the new name should somehow ine '4icate the parties of the Tiler, ger,. It can be .dona .4S shown in the name The Canadian Imper- iai 1344k, of 'Commerce, To do less, while I know it is legal, seems. almost like fraud, This use of a multiplicity of names of livestock processors • and .grain dealers would or, tainly indicate a competitive Market tor these products whlle In reality they only represent one buyer. perhaps some of per farm organizations .could draft a res, olaion to be presented to goy- eminent to draft legislation that would clarify the .si,,ttta,, tion.
