Pvery:one knows what can happen to the performance of a
car that isn't serviced regularly. The same risk of "poor '
' per'f'orhiatfce'holds true for your life insurance if you
neglect to keep it up to date. Time brings changes in your
life that in turn create the need for a review of your
policies, Perhaps new beneficiaries should be appointed.
Perhaps the method by which benefits are to be paid,
either by income or by single amount, is no longer in your
`family's best interest, What would a careful review of
your 'policies reveal? That you have mote than enough
life insurance — or that time has brought new needs
for protection and saving?

Mr. Keys announced volume
in 1937 had increased by $42,000
and that membership has grown
to a total of 360.
"We are happy to report that
the members of the Co-operative
now own 30 per cent more of
their business than they did four
years ago."
Kenneth Hern, manager of the
co-op reported this week the
installation of a new molasses
mixer to provide an improved
feed service to customers. A
new bulk molasses tank has also
been installed.
The record growth of the Exe-
ter co-op is part of a national
trend toward increased business
for the co-operatives across the
country.
The Co-operative movement
has made substantial gains in
Canada, as shown by 1957 sta-
tistics from the Canada Depart-
ment of Agriculture. According
to these figures, total member-
ship in Canadian ca -operatives
was 1,628,000 at December 31,
1957. Volume of business in-
creased $39,000,000 and member
equity went up over $15,000,000.
Canadian co-operatives turn
over about $1,162,000,000 per year
not including insurance or credit
co-operatives nor co-operative
wholesale operations which total-
led $219,000,000. These two fig-
ures added together total 31,381,-

But co-operatives are more
than just a business 'to mem-
bers. To the: the co-operative
is an organization established by
the farmer for the farmer, and
controlled and operated by the
farmer through democratic repre-
sentation on boards of directors.
Service at cost, proration of sav-
ings, non-partisanship and non -
sectarianism are firmly estab-
lished principles'in the true co,
operator's mind.
The fact that the farmer is
his own wholesaler•and in some
eases his own processor, brings
him closer to the consumer and
enables him to retain control

In Ontario the first farm sup-

in buying and selling 'farm sup-

its members. After a shaky per-
iod during the depression, th e
company began to progress. Up
to 1948 it was owned by indi-
vidual shareholders, but a change-
over took place and with it a
name change. The new name
was the United Co-operatives of

og ..Board Threatens
The recent re-establishment of
competition in the, hog industry
in Ontario by the marketing
board and sales agency of the
Ontario Hog Producers' Associa-
tion has- brought benefits to con-
sumer, producer and many small
and medium-sized packing com-
panies.
This was one of the major'
points of the brief of the Ontario
Hog Producers' Association to
the Royal Commission an Prices,
presented ^ recently by Charles
McInnis, president, and other
directors of the. association.
The association's brief asked
the commission to thoroughly
investigate the possible effect§
on hog and pork prices of the
current trend towards vertical
and horizontal integration in
which large corporations take'
ever the full control of a far-
mer's financing and production
schedule.
"If it is the intention of the
processor to invade the farm
production field, then we will
have no choice but to. invade
the field of processing," the hog
producers' brief warned. "If the
feed companies are going to in-
vade the farm production field,
then we will have no choice but
to throw our weight no,
pro-
ducer-controlled feed supply busi-
nesses."
The_ brief recommended that
the commission, in investigat-
ing vertical and horizontal in-
tegration, should ascertain if
there are any inter -locking di-
rectorates or secret agreements
between large packing com-
panies., large chain stores and
feed companies. Such a situation,
the brief said, would seriously
affect both producer and con-
sumer prices. The association
said that its findings in price
spreads indicated that they were
based on a percentage mark-up
rather than a "reasonable"
mark-up, This meant that as hog
prices advanced, the price spread
increased which the Association
felt was unfair to both consumer
and producer.
The brief charged that a legal '
decision hangs over Ontario far-
mers' heads which reaffirms the;
principle that the farmer is a
second-rate citizen in Canada's
economy who only deserves
economic crumbs.
The brief was referring to, a
negotiation award made by
Judge Schwenger and J. R. t
Austin In December 1956 in On -I
tare which said in effect that
there was no direct relationship
between operating costs of the
producer end the market price,,
and that the Market price less
full coverage of transportation!
and processing was what deter-
mined the net return to the,
farmer.
Now that hog producers in
Ontario "have.a strong producer
organisation vigorous and in.

He: "'Nims that her was talk•

telligent remedial procedures
wi be arrived at ,to see that
pr duction costs are reflected in
market prices," the brief pre-
dicted.
The brief presented statistics
showing that the old custom of
large Ontario packers of allocat-
ing hogs to themselves on a
m u t u a 11 y agreed percentage
basis, and thereby' reducing com-
petitive buying to a minimum,
had been eliminated by the On-
tario Hog Producers' Marketing
Board and its sales agency.
Small packers can_ now secure
all the hogs they require which
was not the case only a few
years ago, Such revitalized, com-
petition among big and small
packers will bring benefits to
the consumer, the brief said.
