Tells Of Interview Peter l‘leDonald, R.R. 4 Bright. an Opponent of the Ontario Hog Produeers' Marketing Board and compulsory .marketing of hogs, was chairman for the meeting. He told of a delegation meeting with Hon. W, A. Goodfellow, On- tario Minister of Agriculture, for more than two hours fol- lowing the vote and said Mr. Goodfellow suggested a spot cheek of the ballots. "Mr. Good- fellow later changed his mind," Mr. McDonald said. Ross McTavish told- the meet- ing that 14 Eastern Ontario counties were not as close as 20.000 hogs to what Perth pro- duces, He said, that as a member of the delegation meeting with Mr. Goodfellow he felt that he (Mr. Goodfellow) was a bit "on our side." Charles Coultes, Belgrave, sec- retary of 'the Huron Livestock Shippers' Association, claimed that in Simcoe county there is one plan, while in the other parts of the province there is the pres- ent plan, "in Simcoe the pro- ducers own their hogs, their own plant, and the finished prod- uct." Mr. Darroch dwelt at length on the figures following the hal- lot on July 25, and claimed that the proper procedure, according to instructions issued, should show 67,4 per cent in favor, and not 68.2 per .cent, He wondered how many producerswrote "no" or "yes" on the ballot, and whether ali the written "yes" ballots were allowed. Claims Discrepancids Ile alleged several discrepan- cies in procedure of the vote, and strongly suggested a court order to have the whole vote set aside, adding, "For our own pro- tection, and that of any other farm organization, ' this vote, should be set aside. if you don't you won't be able to sell even a cat unless told how to do it bY some Julius Ceasar behind a - polished desk in Toronto." Howard Cosburn, Markham, Edgar Martin, Chatham, and Theodore Parker, Downie town- ship, also spoke briefly, and all in favor of having the vote stat aside. Mr. Cosburn asked: "Where do you get compulsion out of co-operative?" Mr. Mar- tin said: "Enterprise should have a chance to compete with co-operative in arketing;" and Mr. F'arker said: "This is a dis- agreeable loss of freedom and a dictatorship." Named to the committee were William Harris, Ripley (Bruce); Arnold Darroch, Clifford (Well- ington); Charles Couites, Bel - grave (Huron); Howard Cosburn Markham (York); Peter McDon- ald, Bright (Oxford); Theodore Parker, R.R. 5 Stratford, and Ross McTavish, R.R. 1 Strat- ford (both Perth); Victor Reist, Waterloo( • Waterloo). Joseph Todd, Cookstown (Peel); and Edgar Martin, Chatham (Kent). Agriculture Minister Goodfel- low announced last week the On- tario Government accepts the validity of the July 25 vote in favor of the province's hog marketing program and said he intends to do everything possible to make the plan "workable." "I have examined the vote in a general way," he said and I am satisfied that while this type of vote cannot be conducted with the care and safeguards of a vote under the Ontario Elections Act, nevertheless this vote was most carefully conducted and that it truly reflects the feeling of the hog producers, and there- fore I accept the vote as an en- dorsement of the plan. Make Plan Workable "The Government intends to support the plan and to do every- thing possible to bring the var- ious parties and points of view together with a view to always doing what is possible and neces- sary to improve the plan and make it workable," Section EXETER, ONTARIO, :SEPTEMBER 11, 1958 liege Nini District Farmers apture — ajor Livestock Awards • :•1 FARM GIRL TOPS CITY.

After harvest cultivation and plowing is the order of the day on many farms. Although we have no reports of corn silage being made, some farmers indicate that they plan to start silage making operations during the next week or so. Fall pasture is expected to be adequate on most farms.
