It Appears the government is

the controversial National Farm

as Bill C-170.
.Blake Sanford, Ontario
Regional Co-ordinator, National

replying to requests for copies,
"they seem to be as scarce as
hen's teeth,"
He said he had it on good
authority that farmers and
organizations requesting copies

from Ottawa are not receiving
any response, and that even
Members of Parliament are
finding it difficullt to obtain a
copy of the document. "Is the
government intentionally
keeping this information from
farmers for a reason?" asked
Mr. Sanford.
He said the NFU recognizes
that there are provisions in the
legislation that could be beneficial
to farmers in general, but to do
so must be coupled with several
revisions. He stated the NFU has •
taken the position that the
legislation should be amended in

1, That the proposed National

2, That appointment of

and not more than ten years,
3. That the council have power
to license or issue permits for

4. That no marketing agency be
established until the wishes of the
majority of primary producers
are clearly ascertained.
5. That the operating costs of
marketing agencies be totally

7. That cattle be included under

8. That provision be made for
safeguarding against the ap-
plication of policies, by
marketing agencies which would
contribute toward regional
disparities between producers in
the production of a regulated
product.
Mr. Sanford said the real
question is, "Will the legislation
be meaningful and will farmers'
net income be improved as a
result? This is what farmers
must determine and why their
opinions must be considered."
"For too long, off-farm experts
have influenced the destiny of
farmers, that has not provided
any stabilizing effect on net in-
come, except to keep it low," he
said.
"It is time for farmers to call a
halt. in any way they find
necessary to the perpetuation of
short-sighted policies that only
divert farm problems from one
area to another, each time
resulting in fewer farmers but in
the same economic plight."

Ontario pork producers meet
this week to set the direction of
their industry for another year.
The big issue facing delegates
to the annual meeting of the
Ontario Hog Producers'
Marketing Board is what to do
about the massive hog
marketings that have depressed
prices to producers over the past
few months.
The average weighted price in
November 1969 was $36.64 per
hundredweight. It was $26.66 per
hundredweight a year later.
Meeting at the King Edward
Hotel in Toronto on March 17
and 18, delegates will vote on
resolutions calling for some form
of controlled production.
A Grey county resolution
suggests producers market hogs
five pounds lighter. A Waterloo
county resolution asks for a study
on the feasability of supply
management.
Speaking to the delegates at
their banquet, March 17 was
Henry Courtenay, a consumer
marketing economist at Purdue
University in the U.S. Using the
latest projections on hog
marketings, he charted the
course of the hog industry over
the next few months.
