A friend of mine was recently fined $30 for doing so. He is only allowed to pull onto the shoulder if he stops. Remember that he is working and you are most likely on your own time, Several reports have come out in the last eight years on the cause of food costs what they are, One of the reasons cited time and again is the proliferation of Need more than bank loans supermarkets. Not much of this is, reported in the press, for a supermart in the neighbourhood is popular, It makes sense that if you build two stores almost side by side that they can compete only on the basis of their cost. Within these limits it appears that the customer will profit by cut-throat competition. Not so, for the extra un- necessary building will have to be paid for and it is the customer who does the paying. The store can claim low profits, but this is his own fault for being too greedy. He draws customers away from the other store so their profits will be lower too. In order to maintain their profits prices will be higher inthe long run, not lower as a super- ficial appraisal may suggest. The Canadian west had some ex- perience where a large American chain moved into every place where there were customers, cutting prices only in these neigh- bourhoods where other stores were operating. When the other stores gave up, the price immediately went up to the level of stores in non- competing areas, until this chain could set any price they wanted. Western governments had to step in to stop this practice. So a certain level of competition is needed, but too much raises the cost and hence the price to you and me, A&P in the USA lost a court battle when farmers sued them for price fixing. It appears that they set high retail prices and low prices for the packers and thus the producers. The US anti-trust act seems to have enough teeth to fight this kind of profit making. Is this going on in Canada too? Get going Plumtre. BI "The US government price freeze caused US farmers to hold cattle off the market, thus in- creasing the weight of the animals and the total amount of beef that went to market when the freeze was lifted. "Governments in oil exporting countries dramatically increased the price of petroleum. Beef importing countries were forced to cut beef imports to pay the necessary oil bills, adding to world supplies of beef and con- tributing to distress prices for Ontario producers." The provincial government has provided good farm marketing legislation, Hill points out. "Farmers must use that legislation effectively for economic survival in an era of high cost farming. "There is no way that 100,000 individual farmers, each producing a small share of total product, can bargain suc- cessfully with processors or supermarket chains that want to buy in quantity from the fewest possible number of people. "Marketing boards are the farmers' answer to a con- centration of power among a few prcoessors and a handful of supermarket chains. "When farmers organize tb market total produce through a farmer board they secure at least a minimum of countervailing power." OFA last week asked the Ontario government to en- courage cow culling by a grant of $100 for each cow slaughtered plus a grant of $25 for each calf weaned in 1974. OFA recommended that each cow marketed be replaced with a heifer calf to produce beef for market in 1976-77. The policy was designed to slow a build up of cattle without reducing potential for production when the market opens up again in two to three years. Instead, the Ministry has of- fered to guarantee bank loans of $75 per calf, up to 100 calves, at prime plus one percent. The loans are for up to three years, repayable at any time.) Hill recalls the government of the USSR started the upward spiral in feed prices when it bought up huge quantities of US grain two years ago. Farmers will have to depend on themselves. They can't rely on governments for help." This is the reaction of Gordon Hill, president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, to the guaranteed bank loans offered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to cow-calf operators. Farmers badly need more than bank loans to overwinter calves at a time of dramatically higher feed costs and depressed farm- gate prices for beef, Hill points out. "The provincial government's action is a pretty clear indication that this government isn't prepared to interfere in the market place to protect farmers, no matter how desperate the situation is, even when the distress situation has been brought about by the decisions of foreign governments," Hill concludes.
