The potential is e of Goderich told the gathering enormous, he said, if one only that Huron county producers realizes that in Tokyo alone live a shipped more than'a quarter of a s many people as half the total million hogs to market in 1974. Canadian population. The total number of producers In other business before the was 1998. The county is in third meeting, Ron Dougall, Exeter place in pork output in Ontario. Keith Weeden, the chairman of the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board, told the far- mers that the cutoff point of 180 pounds, where a severe price penalty is imposed, will be ex- tended to gradttate down to 200 pounds. This has been a sore point with many hog producers. and has been raised at numerous pork meetings. When asked when this would come into effect, Weeden said that negotiatiOns ,with packers and governments 'are not com- pleted, so a definite date is not known yet. Of great concern to the pork board, he said, is the imposition of import restrictions by the U.S. The protection the government gave to the beefmen in restricting beef imports to a five year average, have backfired to the porkmen, as the Americans restricted our pork exports to almost fifty percent. Decisions made now on the number of sows to keep, will determine the amount of pork coming to market in 1976, he said. The market in Quebec has dried up with an increased production there of 19 percent and a target of another 10 percent. 6 In referring to labour disputes, Weeden contended that strikes affected producers'• cost and in the end the cost to consumers. It should not be allowed, he said, that innocent people get hurt. The disruption in the market place is fantastic, and producers and consumers should get together to find a solution, Maybe it should be compulsory arbitration after a certain time. On supply management he said that he was not against quotas, but it must be a national program in order to work, The export possibilities to Japan are limited right now, as the Japanese government has a tariff policy to protect their farmers. Weeden spoke with fourteen trading companies on his recent trade mission to Japan and many of them doubted these restric- tions would last, as grain is too expensive to import and foreign exchange is limited. There is some competition For example in a recent issue: ill Painting your house • Buying a car • Choosing safe toys • Bicycle safety • Flammable fabrics • Buying and Freezing meats • Many other important subjects was elected to represent Usborne township, to replace Alvin Cudinore, ''who passed away last year in a tragic automobile ac- cident, and Tom Pappin of Seaforth was elected to replace Ken Kernigan of Tuckersmith Township, who went out of pork production. Prices Review Board. That is where the reservations crept into my mind. Let's look at them one by one.First the labour movement, Yes, I believe they want to preserve land, but I don't believe that they are so con- cerned about the starving foreigners. Harsh judgement? Yes, but look at the fasti. When ships are lying in Vancouver harbour to be loaded with grain for Bangladesh and a strike by labour prevents the loading, they are supported by the labour movement, regardless that thousands are dying in far countries, becauSe they have a right for a dollar an hour more, so they can buy a late model car. They use these unfortunates as a lever for a higher income, They want to preserve food producing land, so we will have over- production and they will have cheap food. Of course I accept those who are sincere. The Consumers Association, as well as Mrs. Plumtre are only thinking of cheap food and the pious statements that they want the farmer to have a decent in- come don't mean a thing. .-They have shown their disin- terest and even their opposition to farmers getting a decent in- come too often to be believed. Why else the vicious attacks on marketing boards, which is nothing more than us getting a decent income. They even begrudge us our cost of production. In the meantime we can work together to convince the Ontario government that generating stations should not be built in Southern Ontario, but let's-not forget their motive. I read in the paper that Kent dOunty citizens protest a generating plant. They are right, it doesn't belong in ,Southern Ontario. If no plant is built it means transmission lines from outside. If it is built it' means transmission corridors from inside. A• ctivities at CCAT All roads in Huron and Middlesex Counties should lead to Centralia College of Agricultural Technology today, Thursday.
