The recent demands by the
United Auto Workers' Union
concerning cutting prices of
food are ridiculous. A UAW
official in Windsor has called for
the Federal Government to
reduce the prices of butter,
powdered milk, apples, potatoes
and pork. The statement also
called recent assistance to Prairie
farmers "a sinful waste of
natural resources and a crime
against humanity."
OFA President, Gordon Hill
explains that only two-cents
worth of wheat goes into a loaf
of bread. He stresses that it is
not the farmers' price of wheat
that sets the store price of bread.
The farmer is doing more
than his share of fighting
inflation by keeping food prices
Mrs. Potter who is NI~ U's
women's president added, "The
Department of Agriculture is
continually telling the farmer to
get bigger and more efficient but
the most efficient unit is the
family farm which has the
farmer, his wife and children all
Mrs. Evelyn Potter of Biggar,
Saskatchewan and Walter Miller,
vice-president of the National
Farmers' Union were the guest
speakers at the official
organizational meeting of Lucan
local 312 of the National
Farmers' Union at the Lucan
arena, Tuesday night.
Mr. Miller conducted the
election of officers and

McIlhargey,
Don Trudeon was named

The 1970 Ontario Bull Sale
will be held this year on
Wednesday, March 18, 1970, at
the Hays Sales Arena, Trafalgar,
Ontario.
One hundred and seventeen
bulls representing four breeds
have been consigned to this sale
by 58 Ontario breeders. The
offering includes 83 Hereford,
17 Aberdeen Angus, 14
Shorthorn, and 3 Charolais bulls.
In order to qualify for entry
in this sale each bull must have
been performance tested and
must have achieved a minimum
Average Daily Gain of 2.50
pounds, and a minimum
Adjusted Yearling Weight of 900
pounds. Thus this sale has
attracted some of the best
performance tested bulls in
Ontario.
married to a grain farmer.
She believes that the family
farm is still important simply
because interest itself creates
efficiency. Farm women as well
as men must be concerned.
Everyone needs food. Why
call excess food in Canada
"surplus"? A more fitting term
would perhaps be "inventory."
Governments like a surplus of
food. This guarantees a cheap
food policy. If the present trend
continues 70% of Canada's
population will be concentrated
in Vancouver, Montreal and
Toronto.
Now in 1970, seven million
Canadians are living in a state of
so-called poverty, many of these
being Canada's natives, the
Indian and Eskimo population.
To further emphasize the
importance of outstanding
erformance, the Martin Feed
Mills (Elmira, Ontario) Challenge
Trophy and cash award will be
presented at the bull sale for the
third consecutive year. This
trophy, accompanied by a
generous cash award, is given
each year to the breeder who
enters the bull with the highest
combination of Average Daily
Gain and Weight per Day of Age
on Performance test.
The sale will begin at 11:00
a.m., March 18, following a
judging schedule, which will
begin at 8:00 a.m. Hereford
bulls will be sold first, followed
by Shorthorn, Aberdeen Angus,
and Charolais cattle.
Owners of purebred and
commercial herds are
encouraged to attend this sale as
it represents the best
opportunity each year to select
herd sires from among a large
group of performance tested
bulls. All bulls entered in this
'sale are qualified for a grant,
under the Bull Premium Policy,
of 20% of the purchase price up
to $150 if purchased by an
Ontario farmer,

Sale attracts herd owners from

betterment of the business.
Mr. Miller said the National
Farmers' Union has a totally
new concept in farm
organization to unite farmers
across Canada and this is no easy
job.
as low as in any other country in
the world. He points out that
one hour of work will buy more
food in Canada than any other
country in the world.
Mr. Hill believes that if the
prices of cars, trucks, farm
machinery and high union wages
are rolled back 20 years, then
the farmer could also afford to
cut his prices, but not until.
He believes that the present
assistance to Prairie farmers is
good for short term progress,
but he emphasizes that a
long-term solution is necessary
to bring the entire situation
under control.
Mr. Hill wonders how the
UAW Union would react if the
government ordered a cut in
their wages.
