Fieldman Comments 'County Hog Producers Endorse Sales Method Representatives of county hog producer organizations met in Toronto May 21 and unanimously confirmed. Lhe action of the On- tario Hog Producers' Marketing Board in maintaining the present system of selling hogs through the co-operative sales agency. About 90% of .Ontario's hog crop is now being directed through 15 assembly marketing points of the Ontario Hog Producers' Co - Operative. Producer, support was given to the hog marketing board in face of considerable agitation in pro- cessor circles for the hog Co-ope- rative to dispose of their hogs through a Dutch Clock system, a mechanical device used in the marketing of cheese and tobacco. Hog producers at the meeting objected to the Dutch Clock sys- tem because they felt that it would place the smaller and more numerous processors in an unfair trading position and limit the effectiveness of the majority of buyers in competitive bidding. Another objection to the Dutch Clock system was that proces- sors have been unwilling to agree to minimum prices, es- sential to the Dutch Clock auc- tion method for other products. Also, it was expressed 15y pro- ducer representatives that hogs are a perishable product which could not be stored at times when unsatisfactory prices were being bid through the Dutch clock system, A resolution from the hog pro- ducer meeting further stated that the hog board accepted the challenge' of the Farm Products Marketing Board to have a vote as announced but that .it was still the opinion of, the organiza- tion that 60`, of those voting in favour should have been a satis- factory majority, as has been recommended in the past, The resolution followed the announce- ment by the government that a vote would he held on the Onta- rio Hog ' Producers' Marketing Plan, July 25 and that 66 2/3 favourite vote, of those voting, —Please Turn To Page 10 rem11 l,r1111111111111111111111,IH,11111u,111111111111111111u,1111,1111111111"11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Fresh Cement OR MORTAR MIX on hand at all. times.
