A matter which has been rec
eiving much public notice in the
farm news during the past month
is the Hog Marketing Scheme.
As you are well aware there are
always two sides to every argu
ment.
We believe that the Hog Mar
keting- Scheme could be a sound
idea and we believe that Mr.
Parker, Reeve of Ellice Town
ship, Perth County, is also fund
amentally on the right track. As
we stated in a previous issue so
far the farmers’ money has gone
for nothing but Administrative
Costs. The financial statement of
the ULS verifies this statement.
The auditors report states that—
$35,000 of the farmers’ money
was paid out in Income Tax.
Another trivial item that am
used us in the 1954 annual fin
ancial statement was the fact
that while there was two cents
a hog deducted for Ontario Hog
Producers fee, the amount came
out in odd not even cents. Some
where in the game half a hog
got away and that single cent
never was accounted for.
Now we don’t believe we un
derstand enough about hogs to
pose as a market expert—we just
raise them. Up to date the hog
Marketing Scheme has done noth
ing for us except cause incon
venience and discontent. We
don’t know whether you are dis
contented or not, but we do know
you are being taken for a ride
down the road regarding pay
ment of your hogs.
The inconvenience is that
where formerly your hog cheque
was payable at par it is at pres
ent not so at Exeter branches,
nor at any bank within a radius
of 20 miles. Now, our argument
is—if we are doing business with
any private enterprise this mat
ter would be immediately looked
into or business would be taken
elsewhere.
Chas. McInnis, president of
Ontario Hog Producer Association
is a very sincere man. He is an
interesting speaker •— very glib,
■too. He lias given very much to
what he believes is the only hope
of the Hog Producer of Ontario
Typewriter
Paper
THE TIMES-ADVOCATE
—but we do question some of his
statements and also many of the
ideas which the Board of Dir
ectors of the Ontario Hog Prod
ucers have charged him to carry
out through what is called the
Hog Marketing Scheme.

Huron County
Crop Report
Some progress was made dur
ing the early part of the week
with silo filling and the harvest
ing of turnips and sugar beets.
However, rain and snow the
last three days of the week have
again retarded harvesting opera
tions. Some of the lower fields
need at least 10 days of fine dry
weather before machines can be
taken on the field.
The average on the 32 head
sold at the Perth-Huron Short
horn Sale was $227.00, while the
avearge on a similar number of
cattle at the 19 53 sale was $301.-
00. .
Ninety Western steer calves
were distributed on Saturday to
the members of the Hensall Feed
er Calf Club.

“My word,” blurted the golfer
as he made the dirt fly around

“Worms around here are

up on the ball for safety.”
