John R. Stewart, of RR 6, Strathroy, one of Ontario's beef feed - lot owner - operators said that Ontario farmers are competing with the Canadian West and the United States "corn belt" for a share of their own market. "Ontario is a deficiency area as far as agricultural produce is concerned. We import feed grain, cattle, (both stocker and fat), corn, potatoes, lamb so y- beans, wool, pork, and so on. These are all things that we produce. We have thousands of half-idle acres, but we are not filling the market right in our midst. "Western Canada and the U.S. corn belt are doing the job that we should be doing for our- selves." Farm mechanization, said Mr. McGregor, isanewphase of the agricultural revolution. Farmers will have to raise their ideas of what constitute's a day's work. Capital is being substituted for labor to increase net income. New technology can reduce cost per unit, he said, but to do so there must be volume. He said that even $100,000 is not enough to provide full employ- ment for one man in the beef industry today if he is not us- ing the latest techniques. Mr. McGregor, in his chair- man's remarks, claimed that beef producers seem to wish to produce and place their prod- ucts on the market privately in more of a "hope and faith" fashion, instead of a business way. The beef man, he said, has not reached top efficiency at producing beef as yet, but when he does so, he will be seeking other means of marketing. into receivership. The members felt that their proposal, which is being for- warded as a resolution to the annual provincial meeting of the parent organization in Toronto Feb. 18 and 19, would protect the produce from seizure by creditors other than the original owners. The members also recom- mended that freight assistance for shipment of feed grain from the West be discontinued. They felt that the financial help it was intended to provide bona fide farmers was doubtful. The provincial organization will be requested to see that proper and adequate chutes and water facilities are provided by the railways moving cattle from Western to Eastern Canada in double-deck cars. It was re- ported at the meeting that some cattle have been seriously in- jured during loading and unload- ing. Elected as president was El- mer Robertson, of RR 5, Gode- rich. He succeeds Robert Mc- Gregor, of RR 2, Kippen, who has headed the organization since its inception 12 years ago. Russell Faber, of Kippen, was elected vice-president and D. H. Miles, of Clinton, agricultural representative for Huron County, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Robertson was named di- rector to the provincial board with Mr. McGregor as alter- nate.
