Something Wrong
—Continued from Page 2
The hog .Co-op has not held the
price up because the price has
come down and so supply and de
mand must be the ruler and not
•the agent.
A recent plan has been taken
to order Quebec shippers of hogs
into 'Ontario packers. Last iweek
some 3,000 'hogs appeared on the
Ontario stock yards and that is a
poor showing when 40,000 hogs
are killed weekly.
When this Co-op started last
May ithey had 11 members and
they ran for months 'before they
attempted to get more members.
They assumed that anyone who
had a hog to sell was automatic
ally their member. One would
imagine 'that 'they think they
own the hogs, When a hired
selling agency is allowed to di
rect around other people’s prop
erty, somebody is wrong.
Yours truly,
Theodore Parker
