Miss W. E. Parker, of Brighouse, Yorkshire, England, was employed at the home in England where the emperor stayed during his exile from his country. She sent a note pointing out the coincidence to his private secretary w'hile the em- porer was in Windsor recently, The reply came on royal stationery from Mexico City.

Having had discussions with farmers in western provinces I find a percentage of producers who oper ate on a large scale are satisfied they can sell their produce as efficiently- as a marketing board. This class of producer is usually quite aware of ' market trends because he is special izing; he also has the acquaintance of processors whose direction he can "take it or leave it” but broadly speak- ' ing this type of producer is more I willing to gamble on his own ability , plus the fact large numbers of other ; producers, smaller operators, are easy 1 G.

A marketing board for beef will not work under present conditions. First of all our beef will almost through necessity come under dressed weight and to introduce it at this time would leave the producer with no bargain- . ing power with the processor, it would be the same as hogs were sold for some years. They were dumped at the processor’s door and the farmer wait ed to find out how much the proces sor would be kind enough to enclose in the cheque. The Manitoba Federation of Agri culture and the other western provin ces were thinking of introducing a Hog Producers Marketing Board which would have formed a national marketing scheme but the Farmers’ Union in Manitoba, having no exper ience with marketing boards, decided to go all the way with a livestock marketing board. This board aceord- . ing to the proposed plan would in clude pork, beef and mutton, it would | regulate the entire livestock industry j within the province at the cost of 2% I of the value of the animal. Also if I 100 or more producers write to the I Minister of Agriculture, he may re- j quest a plebiscite. Such a proposal for livestock mar- | keting within the boundaries of a | single province is next to ridiculous. | It will and has discouraged farmers I from voting for such a proposal, not | only in Manitoba but in other prov- ! inces as well. | So it appears to me that with large | beef producers not favourable to the | plan, processors naturally opposed, I and small operators confronted with | fantastic proposals without construe- | tive means of operation, the beef in- | dustry is a long way from a producer | controlled marketing Board. I Holland Marsh Tour Features Potato Day The third annual Provincial Potato Day will take on entirely different form this year with the growers and processors on the Bradford or Holland Marsh providing a tour of that fam ous vegetable growing area and visits to storages and processing plants on Thursday, August 12th. The potato committee met with the local committee last week at Bradford and themselves made a “test flight” of the three-hour tour which has been planned as a come and go open house sort of informal day. Instead of a programme of speeches, there will be guides aQGGinpany each group to ex plain points of intferest and also com mentators at each stop on the marsh or in the plants1 visited. The committee is preparing an illus trated folder with a map of this seven thousand acre garden, giving some of S'" i i ■ I ! 1 ■ 3 th© highlights of its history, develop ment and economic place in Ontario agriculture. The Marsh, located 35 miles north of Toronto on Yonge Street, or No. 11 highway, straddles the Schomberg River which divides York and Simcoe counties. The committee, for the day consists of W. M, Cockburn, New market, Agricultural Representative for York as chairman; R, E. Goodin, Crops Branch, Toronto, Secretary, and J, K. L. McRuer, Alliston, Agricultural Representative for South Simcoe, As sistant Secretary, with local growers, plant managers and vegetable inspec tors as members. ■ a a I Cec.
