Recent Rains
Aid Huron Crops
Threshing is now completed in most
areas in the south part of Huron
County and recent rains and cooling
weather have somewhat eased the
severe drought conditions which pre
vailed at the beginning of the month
according to H. R. Baker, associate
agricultural representative for Huron
County.
Good reports have come in on the
yield of most cereal grains with light
er yields in the later varieties. The
more recent rains have also assisted
greatly in the white bean and corn
crops, but in most areas more moist
ure is required to ease water supplies
for livestock and pasture growth.

Hog Producers Make
Progress in Supervised
Hog Selling Plan
The Ontario Hog Producers Co
operative Marketing Agency has an
nounced progress in its objective to
supervise a complete selling plan for
Ontario hogs, The first step is well
advanced, that of licensing all ship
pers of hogs iii Ontario. All shippers
in order to remain in business and
continue to handle hogs must pro
cure their license at once through the
producer marketing board.
The purpose of an agency is to
bring a large percentage of the hogs
into the open at assembly points,
where free and open selling competi
tion between the various buyers can
be restored. Since the dressed weight
settlement for hogs has come into
being, larger processors have placed
more emphasis on buying the trucker
rather than the farmers’ hogs. When
the shipper is hog tied to a single
buyer by force or extra renunTeration
for loyalty, the farmers* hogs are re
moved from all competition in estab
lishing price by any other buyer, The
plan on foot now is to bring these
hogs out into the open where the
small buyers all across Ontario and
Montreal can be given the opportun
ity to place their - bid. Elmwood Co
operative has been successfully selling
their hogs recently F.O.B, Elmwood.
The only cost the farmer had in de
livering thejhogs was for the pick up
at the farm to Elmwood assembly
yards.
The records of hog production and
marketing for the first six months of
1955 reveal some startling facts. Pro
duction in Eastern Canada has been
up. 10% and in Western Canada 32%.
The increased marketings has been
disposed of by a 20% increase in dom
estic consumption and a 32% increase
in exports of pork cuts to the U.S. •
Shipments of hogs from Western
Canada east has increased by 33%.
The price farmers received in Ont
ario was much higher than in Wes
tern Canada, which speaks weir for
the marketing agency. Toronto has
had an average higher price of $2.92
above Winnipeg, $3.51 above Calgary,
$1.68 above Chicago, and $2.97 above
Edmonton and 51c below Montreal.
From the report of the Meat Pack
ers Council of Canada, it appears
there is some uncertainty in the sow
breedings of July in Eastern Canada
as well as British Columbia. Uncer
tain crop conditions are no doubt
having an influence. Prairie provinces
however show greater interest in
breedings. The forecast in the U.S. is
for an average of 20.00 cwt dressed
weight for pork from December 1, to
April.
Ontario v salt-water coastline, in
excess of 600 miles, bordering James
and Hudson Bays, touches ocean for a
greater length than many prominent
maritime countries, while its fresh
water coastline runs for more than
1,000 miles.
