Our policy to date has been one of permitting the esta blished processing firms to tinue operations, while we, selves, attempt to restore open market—selling to the er who can pay ithe highest price and delivering 'the goods,” Mr. McInnis eaid. Mr. 'McInnis reviewed some of the steps UP 'to 'the present po sition of following a policy of self-help. He said, “Previously, 90%, of our hogs were dumped at the buyers’ door with no price attached, and no understanding as to price.” Right To Bargain “Hog producers, along with other farmers, have the right to bargain for the sale of their goods. And it was your decision, as producers, to set up a Market ing Agency under the provisions of the Farm Products Marketing Act to sell your products and de liver your goods to the buyer who would pay the best price.” The hog producer president re ferred to the livestock direction program whfich advised drovers where to deliver hogs—to the buyer paying the highest price. “In this way,” Mr, McInnis said, “bargaining power is restored to the producer .through the open market. To facilitate this plan we have opened up stock yards at .Stratford, Windsor, London and Kitchener; the yards- at Peterborough are in the process of being re-modelled; while yards at other points near .Bar rie, Belleville and Ottawa are being considered foy the iBoard.” “But the fact remains,” charg ed Mr. McInnis, that-millions are spent by non-producers to keep livestock away from the open con- our- fhe buy- market and prevent open. petRion in buying. It has done irreparable harm to. the livestock industry. Why -should any one try to deny the farmer the right of open competition in the selling of his goods?” For the sake of Agriculture and progress we must have the open market and open competition.” Urges .Publicity “If we want this program to develop,” -Mr. Meinnis said, “you must share in publicizing It. Fol lowing this meeting there should be a meeting in every county at which a board should attend to work out a plan for contacting every hog producer and acquaint him with the purpose and accom plishments of this organization.” Mr. McInnis reviewed, the trend in production, quality of [produc tion and market outlets. Canada increased production of lipgs in 1955 foy 16J% over 19'54. Mr. McInnis said, “This increase, while encouraging, is not good enough. If we are to keep the consumption of iCanadian pork high, and Canada is our best market, we have to supply more lean pork to the consumer. Our position in the American market will be determined by quality. Canadian hams are not selling for as high a price as the (Euro pean product because they are not as uniform in quality as oui* competitors.” Mr. McInnis also pointed out that, ‘“.the production of hogs lias increased in Canada faster than ©ur market outlets and we must foe prepared to (han dle surpluses if we are going to produce them.” Believes Co-op 'Going Places' The Ontario Hog Marketing Co-op is “going to go ahead,” rwas the 'impression Ed Hend rick, of 'Stephen, received at the annual hog producers’ meeting in Toronto over the weekend. Mr. Hendrick is a 'townsiiiip director on the Huron County Hog Pro ducers’ Association. “I followed the formation of the bean growers board and there was lots of opposition to it,” (Mr. Hendrick said. “Now the farmers would vote 95 percent for it.” “I ith'ink this hog marketing co-op dins just as great possibili ties,” he told The Tames- Advocate. The scheme received Whole-hearted support at the an nual meeting. Among thd delegates who at tended from this area were Harry Hern, Usborne; Roes Hove, Hay; and Hlrner Webster, Stan ley. Huron County President Bert Lobb, Vice-President Alvin Rau of Zurich, and Secretary Alt Warner, Goderich, also attended. I i I H. J. CORNISH & CO. CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS H.
