We farmers are a lazy lot! This fact was brought home to me very forceably on the Country calendar program of Sunday, April 11, Roy Atkinson National President of the Farmers' Union was being interviewed and was explaining the difficulties of the Western farmer. He stated that Ogilvie Mills was building a hog complex that would send 24,000 hogs per year to market. This one, the first, I believe was being built in Manitoba but the plan was to build one of these plants every 100 miles across the West. Since Ogilvie is owned by Labbatts and apparently has connections in the processing and retailing areas it is quite significant that profit in the production isn't necessary. In other words an integrated operation such as this could easily make its profit on the feed manufacturing, the processing of hogs, and the retailing business and even operate at a loss in the production of hogs. Since the f;'rmer has only production from which to derive a living he would soon be forced out of business. Especially when the farmer has to compete with the profits of the Brewery industry, If farmers weren't so lazy this little game of big business could be stopped very promptly by farmers taking action in either or both of two directions, First farmers could take over the processing and retailing of what they produce. This isn't a new idea. In fact it was the original system. In early history the farmer produced, processed and retailed his product direct to the consumer and was prosperous. It has always amazed me to "A NEW CONCEPT IN TOUR TRAVEL" Join Clinton COMMUNITY FRIENDSHIP TOUR To * HOLLAND * GERMANY * AUSTRIA * SWITZERLAND * FRANCE * ENGLAND Departing from Toronto July 15th TOUR PRICE ONLY $871 oo 3 Weeks (All Inclusive) Personally Escorted By: WALTER FORBES This is your opportunity to travel with friends from Clinton and district to Europe.

An officers mess has been in existence at the Clinton site since 1941. The dining room of, the present officers mess closed April 16 with the lounge facilities closing on May 30. The final mess dinner was held on April 1, a very historic date to the air element members of the Canadian Armed Forces, as April 1 was the date of the formation of the RCAF in 1924. The wives of the officers will be holding a similar dinner on April 16. Respiratory Disease film shown at meeting A Respiratory Disease Film Festival, sponsored by Huron-Perth TB and Respiratory Disease Association, was held in the Perth-Huron Regional School of Nursing in Stratford.

G. THOMPSON — "THE HOME OF GOOD SEEDS" HERBICIDES FOR WHITE BEANS EPTAM PATORAN TREFLAN remember the large houses and barns that were on so many of our farms — built by the Pioneers on even 50-acre farms, perhaps half of which was still uncleared. Comparatively farming , must have been very prosperous. With the growth of cities and spread of population, processing and retailing of farm produce became difficult if not impossible but what was once done individually could have been done co-operatively, However it was much easier for farmers to let themselves be persuaded that we should specialize on production and leave processing and retailing to those who specialized in those areas. Of court* it was implied that farmers weren't capable of handling a business. Nonsense! Any farmer, whether he knows it or not, who is presently operating in the black, has the largest investment per man of any industry and is showing business ability that would qualify him for an executive position in any company I can think of. He might not have the technical knowledge but he'd soon acquire it. But the farmer is too lazy! Integration is not the problem! The whole problem is where the control lies. The objective of Fame was to integrate under farmer ownership and control. Fame went along quite successfully until it was developed to the point where it was realized that with farmers owning the processing plants it would no longer be necessary to have profits in that industry_ Farmer after farmer told us when purchasing shares that he didn't care if he never got a divident on his share. What he wanted was a return based on what the consumer was paying for meat. When this was realized not only by the packers but by all food processors and eventually by all manufacturers that after all it is the producers of raw materials that can really control all industries it was hopeless for Fame to get ,financing except from producers themselves. Somehow it seems awfully easy to promote a farmer's distrust in himself. The second way to put a quick stop to the Ogilvie program is for farmers to take over the sale of grain which they supposedly have in the Canadian Wheat (Grain Ed.). Only grain for export should be purchased. Any grain produced over this amount must be fed on the farm by the farmer. If farmers proved trustworthy after a few years it might be possible to allow sale of grain from one farmer to another. That is if we aren't too lazy.
