MY NAME IS..... (Mr./Mrs./Mbs) I LIVE AT............. PLEASE PRINT By WINSTON SHAPTON First Vice-President, Huron F Of A It was my privilege to attend the Ontario Federation of Agri- cuture annual meeting in Tor­ onto from October 31 to Novem­ ber 3 representing Huron County as. one of five delegates. Our county federation shares some pf our expenses so in return I thought I should report to as many as possible, a little of what occurred at that meeting. I hesitated to do this sort of thing because nothing is further removed from my line. However, upon arriving home I read the article in this paper about the “Hog Co-op on the Run” and I decided to write what I could. ■It seems as if even you, Mr. Editor, had taken sides and it is too bad that this issue has .to develop to the point where people are taking sides and it seems mostly farmers against a few farmers, few shippers and some packing plants. Mr. Claude Jordoin, president of the Trades and Labour Con­ gress of 'Canada even encouraged and wished us luck in our ad­ venture. He represents over 600,- 000 union members which are also consumers of agriculture products. I shall not spend more time on what has already been in the press .such as Mr. Parker’s ac­ cusation and Frank Perkins’ de­ nial. On this issue, Mr. Perkins (who is chairman of the 'Farm Products Marketing Board) made a special visit to the convention to explain .that Mr. Parker -had twisted everything he had said so that they soundted directly posite. Will Get What Is Needed Mr. H. E. Harris, Q.iC., is listing the achievements of Q.F-A., C.F.A. and I.F.A.P. Mr. Ferguson was one of the Canadian, dele­ gates to IF.AAP. meeting in Rome, Italy, and also a North American regional’ meeting in Washington. What went on at these meetings does not create enough local in­ terest to deal with them here. There were numerous ports and I shall the ones I believe interesting. First, director of field that they were the niiddle of meetings with flip charts and . Farm Forums, etc. The Federa­ tion lias hired a new man, Hunt- ley McKay, to direct publicity and information. He asked briefly that we, who make the news, send it to him so that they can see that it gets out to the correct places. Ken Betzber, president of C.I.A, (Co-Operative Insurance Associa­ tion reported that they had the largest volume of any one year other re­ touch QU the most Hergott, reported solid to only to be Roy staff, booked December with the Federation with promoting this past year. They reduced rates to the tune of $100,(100 in automobile insurance and as a result they sold 10,400 new policies, They have also estab­ lished a claims and sales office in Windsor and Essex .County and surrounding district. If this proves successful more offices will be opened in the future. On Trade Conutiission •Dr. E. Hope, economist for C.F.A,, gave, a report on what C.F.A. was doing.. One interest­ ing item I thought was that C.F.A. was in on (he Royal Com­ mission on costal .trade. It seems that certain interests wanted all boats trading on the Great Lakes to be Canadian boats, built in Canada. This was to be in effect after the St. Lawrence Seaway was built. C.F.A. took the stand that Canada should, for example, be interested in British boats to get British dollars and to com­ pete as far as possible in order to secure the cheapest shipping rates possible for farm products.

PHONE: EXETER 548 YOUR FRIENDLY RELIANCE DEALER op- the lawyer for the O.F.A. and will likely represent the Hog Co-op if there is any prosecution. He spoke -to the convention, report­ ing that he had gone with a del­ egation to the federal govern­ ment to get amendments which he had drafted for the federal .marketing act. He was turned down because they ; were the -only ones asking for this. Afterwards at a provincial agriculture ministers meeting, Ontario again brought this mat­ ter up and this was passed by most of the ministers. So again Mr. Harris went, to. Ottawa and this time was told that' the act should be tested in provincial courts first to find .what is need­ ed and he was assured whatever was necessary would be granted. The point of legality 'is that if levying fees on agricultural prod­ ucts can be regarded as a tax then the federal marketing act wouldn’t be sufficient. Mr. Har­ ris said the legality of the hog co-op and all the other market­ ing groups levying fees ’ is the only point over which there may be some dispute. However, he, said in view of what the federal gov’t has told him he felt sure that if there was any .prosecution 'no matter by whom or what side, no judge would hand down a judgement; he would simply .reserve judge­ ment until the supreme court ruled and, as Mr. Harris said, he was given assurance that what­ ever was needed, he would like­ ly be given. Convention Sidelight An interesting sidelight- to the convention happened to me, Herb Aribuckle, assistant secretary­ manager, was a class-.mate’ of mine at Guelph and we were out­ side the convention hall talking over more or less old times. I asked him if he didn’t think the hog . producers and the co-op would look a little foolish col­ lecting their fe'es when hogs hit the floor price and they surely will with the heavy production we are. experiencing now. He agreed that it might be on the surface but when -the,packers were buying the hogs they listed it as an expense of 47 cents a hog and of course we indirectly paid for all the costs of the hog for no large packer operates at a loss. I saw Herb a half-hour later and he told <me a representative of a large packing plant overheard our conversation and he immed­ iately telephoned his -plant to find out if 47 cents was the fig­ ure, They of course denied it and he hopped right on to Arbuckle for spreading that sort of stuff around. Herb asked wha^ the costs were and the answer was that they weren’t that high but Herb said 47' cents was a pub­ lished fact at one time. However, the important point to me was that the packing plant thought it was important enough to have a high-salaried spotter at a farmers’ convention. To be that .important it must be hurting them to some extent and there­ fore it must be bdnefitting us. That’s Dne good reason why I, saw we should at least give the hog co-op a chance to operate for awhile. I think the co-op will at least give us the highest that supply and demand Will allow, something we have not always enjoyed in the past. I have dealt with the hog situation first as it is the most Controversial but at the conven­ tion it took up only a small part of the program, Twenty Achievements V. S. Milburn, secretary­ manager o”f O.F.A., gave a re­ port on the activities s0f the Pro­ vincial office, listing some. 20 odd achievements. Jack Ferguson hah quite a lengthy report, also GOntario) WANTED—50 girls and boys under 21 to feed a calf for the winter. Good opportunity to learn feeding, care and management-. Might even make some nice pocket money. No cash outlay. Apply Hensall Feeder Calf Club. With only half of theii’ 100 calves gone, officials of the Hen­ sail Feeder Calf Clulb are looking for 50 more youngsters in South Huron to take advantage of their offer. ■Membership of the province’s largest calf club has dwindled this year because the feeders weren’t able to make much money last year because of the market price. But the officials point out that the club isn’t organized to make members money—it’s to give them the experience and op­ portunity of raising .their own calves. Even so, officials believe the price .they have bought the calves at this year is exceptionally good. They paid $20.85 a hundred, western weight, for hand-picked animals. Average weight is 4'25. Seven Members Girls Fifty youngsters from the sur­ rounding townships received their calves on Saturday. Seven of the members were girls, including Marion Lamport, of Usborne, who... won reserve championship for finish last year. Club president -Jack Kinsmen and secretary Jim McGregor were in charge of. the distribution, as­ sisted by towhship directors Lor- ne Hay, secretary of the South Huron Agricultural Society which backs tHe calf club. The members will feed the calves until the Hensall .Spring Fair when they will be judged for finish and gain and the mem­ bers will vie for showmanship honors. Some of the youngsters had a tough struggle to halter the calves and get them to a truck. Most of the animals were frisky and some just plain ornery. Township directors for the club include; John Pym, Usbor­ ne; Wally Becker, Stephen; Carl Wiliert, Hay; John Moffat, Stan­ ley; Bob Parson, Hibbert; and Lloyd Cooper, Tuckersmith. Fifth Year This will be the fifth year of operation for the club Which started out with 46 members and grew to 100 last year.
