Charles president operative, interview days ago. Present call for stock yards at Windsor, Lon don, Stratford, Kitchener, Barrie and Peterborough in addition to the To ronto stock yards. In explaining why assembly points, or stock yards were being established by the hog producers, Charlie said that this would permit all hogs to be placed in a neutral position open to competitive bidding and delivered to the highest bidder. Before our mar keting agency of the Hog Producers’ Co-operative started there were virtu ally no hogs sold on the open market. Our bargaining position in those days, in the words of Professor Latimer of Macdonald College, Montreal, “was nil.’’ When I told Charlie that some farmers were wondering if the Hog Producers’ marketing agency really had the authority to carry out their marketing programme, he stated that under government legislation the Hog Producers Co-operative had the au thority to direct all hogs to the stock yards which they are now establish ing. The marxeting agency of the Co operative accomplishes this by issu ing directive to the transporters to deliver the hogs to these yards. Be cause all transporters of hogs in the Province of Ontario are required by law to have licenses issued to them by the Hog Producers’ Co-operative, it is necessary for them to observe all regulations and directives, or they are in danger of losing their licenses. In reply to my question as to whether the marketing programme had really accomplished its objec tives, Charlie was quick to point out that the programme to date had been very successful. He proved this by comparing prices established by our Hog Producers’ Co-operative market ing agency in Toronto and Montreal, with prices in Western Canada points and in Chicago. In past years Ontario hog produc ers received approximately $1.35 per hundred more for their hogs than was received by Western Canada points. In the first year that the hog marketing programme was in action, this spread was increased to about $2.85 per hundred, and now the spread has widened to approximately $3.00 per hundred. On a per hog basis this means that as a result of the marketing pro gramme, the spread between Ontario hog prices and Western Canada prices has been increased by about $2.00. When compared with the Chicago market our prices have been improved by approximately $5.00. What is particularly outstanding about our higher prices here in On tario, Charlie pointed out, was that these domestic prices were achieved even as we continued to export be tween 1,200,000 and 1,300,000 pounds of pork per week to the U.S.A. This independence by our domestic prices of export markets is entirely a new phenomenon, Prior to the war when we were exporting pork to the United King dom, if that market improved a shilling, our domestic prices moved up by a similar amount. Or if the export market was depressed, our domestic market would be likewise depressed. Through the Hog Produc ers’ marketing agency’s good sales manship however, the situation has been changed and we are new able to keep our domestic prices higher than the export market. Commenting on future prospects farmers.

This would be equivalent to $18.00 dressed. Charlie warned that hog producers in Ontario with their high costs of production cannot afford to sell their hogs at these levels. $5.00 spread over the which we achieved salesmanship on the must be maintained, and if possible widened to $6.00 or more. This spread can be achieved, accord ing to Charlie, if we continue to _...~....... match good quality pork with tlie I oiSon gave the offering prayer, good salesmanship of our marketing agency. But we have to have qual ity in our pork, just as much as need successful salesmanship.
