The other point of interest to
me was the very loud protests
of the truckers who were present
at this meeting of hog producers.
What have truckers to lose by
this marketing plan? There will
be just as many hogs to trans.
port and they will have to be
taken just as far. Trucking is
usually "on a load mile basis
so I see little Ioss to the trucker.
There will be some saving in
transportation in the utilization
of larger trucks from assembly
point to plant. In this modern
age I can see no reason why the
farmer should be obliged to use
a large number of small trucks
if large ones can ,haul cheaper,
After all the contractor supplies
his men with bulldozers not
shovels.

Accident Survey
Directors of Huron ,Federation
of Agriculture have endorsed a
survey of farm accidents in the
county as their project for 1958.
The Federation will compile re-
ports on all serious mishaps in
rural areas in an attempt to find
ways and means of ehminating
them,
Number of deaths and inju-
ries, many of them caused by
farm machinery, have risen
alarmingly in agriculture in re-

problem deserves serious study.
Tentative date for the annual

OFU Urges
New Scheme
Ontario Farmer's Union, jump-
ing into the hog marketing con-
troversy, has' recommended that
the producers' co-operative sell,
its hogs direct to the packers
without the use of assembly
yards, N.
This proposal was presented by
Albert V. Cormack, Arthur,. pre-
sident of the Ontario Farmers'
Vnion who spoke at the annual
meeting of the Huron District of
the OFU Thursday night.
The Union has argued the mar-
keting board to set' up a test
case. whereby hogs can be sold
and directed straight froln the
farmers' stables to the packers.
Details of the plan were not
outlined.
The meeting approved a
resolution asking the OFU to
notify the Ontario Hog Produc-
ers Co -Operative that the union
insists on the discontinuance of
assembly points "and that 'a sys-
tem of 'selling, and directing hogs
