Fieldman comments
Another carnpaign
planned for 'Fame
By J. CARL. .HEMINGWAY
Federation Fieldman
On October 30, at the share-
holders meeting of the "Faxne"
co-operative, Alex McGregor
was elected chairman and Bob
Allan as first vice-chairman.
It was decided that another
canvass campaign would be
conducted to be .completed
November 11 with all shares to
be turned in at the agriculture
board rooms that evening,
Now that the results of the
August carnpaign are com-
pleted they showed an increase
of $14,600 in share capital.
Tuckersinith and Co lbornc
townships are well over their
quota. To put the county over
the top it is only necessary for
the rest of the townships to
follow their example.
Over the rest of the province
many countie: are progressing
favourably now that a little
stress of farm work is disap-
pearing. There is slit] hope
that "Fame" plants will be in
operation by next fall but it is
up to us as farmers to invest
as quickly as possible.
That the need is urgent is
amply shown in the
report of the commission on
restrictive trade practices that
Ihas been currently available
but is, 1 believe, out of print
has
the moment.
This report sbows very clear-
ly that it is the policy of the
processing industry to increase
their profits by eliminating or
intimidating competition ra-
ther than by any attempt to
improve the efficiency of their
processing or selling methods,
I do not know that farmers are
justified in criticizing them for
this but I do think that farm-
ers are to be criticized for let -
ting the meat processing In-
dustry get away with this kind
of operation,
We can provide real compe-
tition and set the standards of
efficiency for the whole indus-
try if we have the will to do
it, It has been done with real
benefit to the farmers in feed,
fertilizer, and casualty insur-
ance. It is no more difficult In
meat processing.
Fallout propaganda
At the zone meeting of Hu-
ron and Perth cream produc-
ers, concern was expressed at
the amount of propaganda that
is being circulated about the
contamination of milk by ra-
dioactive fallout. Yet a series
of tests in Britain have shown
conclusively that the dairy cow
is the best filtering agent yet
devised If there is danger that
milk is contaminated, what
about alt our fruits and many
of our vegetables?
By resolution the cream pro-
ducers request; that the dep't
of health issue statements bi-
weekly to inform the public of
the dangers involved if any.
The cream producers also
urged that in the face of the
much lamented surplus of but-
ter and skim milk powder that
the government take some ob-
vious steps to eliminate the
problem. The surplus of both
could be greatly relieved Issr
encouraging farmers to sepa-
rate the milk at home.
Why are cream producers
forgotten in the 'government
subsidy on Manufactured milk?
Could it be that milk proces-
sors and feed 'manufacturers
would not appreciate that re-
sulting drop in volume of milk
processing and sales of concen-
trates if the skim milk were
retained on the farm?
