High feed grain prices and low beef prices have discouraged pork producers, he said. Current oversupplies of beef on the market may depress pork prices, he said. "If any pork producers have plans to expand their output, it should be con- sidered with caution." "The present prices (to the producers) are almost certain to be the cause of meat scarcities in the next two years." The OPPMB reported hog marketing sales of $230 million in 1974, a drop of $13 million since 1973. The average 1974 selling By ADRIAN VOS We all heard a lot lately abOut the preservation of agricultural land, land use planning and the restrictions that can be placed upon the livestock man by the encroachment of urbanites in rural areas, It seems that many farmers themselves don't see the danger of this encroachment. Often they are the ones who want non-farm residences built on their land in order to get a fair sum of money, which will benefit By MRS. HEBER DAVIS Easter Day service was held in SI. Patricks Church with Rev. R. Savary in charge. Sunday School was held in I.he parish hall for the first time since the new ceiling was installed. The church was decorated with spring flowers and lilies. Personals Mr. & Mrs. Hugh Davis, Heather and Michael entertained the Davis' family and friends to a smorgasbord. There were 32 guests which included Mr. & Mrs. Stephen Flonders (nee Joan Barker) of London, newleyweds.

Sales to Japan, once looked upon by the OPPMB as a wide- open market, appear to be "spotty," said Mr. Weeden. "A combination of heavy meat supplies originating from domestic marketing and imports, together with uncertainty about economic conditions, has resulted in sluggish markets in recent weeks," he said. He said producers must have some income insurance if prices drop below the cost of production for prolonged periods. The federal government. pork stabilization program offered in 1974 was criticized by the OPPM- B as inadequate, he said, although he favored the fact it them in the short run, so they can pay off a good part of their mortgage or pay for that ex- pansion they have in mind. In other cases it is the retiring farmer who wants to stay close to the place where he has lived most of his life and wants to sever.a piece of land to build 'his retirement home. Both cases are shortsighted. The farmer who wants the money for expansion is really painting himself into a corner. It's possible that the people who build in the first place won't object to the odours from his livestock, but who can promise what the next owner will do? It is quite possible that the farmer will be forced out of the livestock business. This has been proven last month in the Niagara area, where a chicken farmer will have to spend $27,000 for elaborate pollution control equipment or lose his business, by court order. When a person buys a piece of land he has by law the right to enjoy that land, and if odours prevent him from this enjoyment he can force the livestock man out of business, If the retiring farmer severs a corner of his land, it is unlikely that he will sue his son for country smells, but if and when he dies or moves to the old folks home, the house will be sold and he did his son or the chap he sold the farm to a real disservice because of the severance. If he wants to retire without having to buy an expensive lot in the village, he can make arrangements with the person buying the farm, be it his son pr a stranger, to build a house without a severance. This way the house will remain part of the farm and it precludes future troubles. 120 Sanders St., W. E.: Exeter 235-0694 E.: Jeans & Jackets.

Mr. Weeden said federal government's proposals to provide deficiency payments at a basis of 90 percent of five-year average instead of the current 80 percent of a 10-year average, are also likely to be unsatisfactory. "We as producers can expect them to play safe and only ap- prove support well below levels that are likely to be realistic — unless we are willing to accept some penalties against glutting the market and embarrassing the government with surplus," he said, During the first after noon session of OPPMB's two-day meeting, producers passed resolutions: That sales yards have at least one shipping bay open over the two-week Christmas holiday period. That OPPMB directors be given 30 days' notice before the losing of any provincial sales yard. That labor disputes affecting farm products be resolved by arbitration. The pork producers tabled a resolution to support the Ontario Federation of Agriculture's land use policy, which calls for development freeze on top far- mland, because many producers said they were unfamiliar with the policy. • Board members were told that agricultural commodity marketing boards have done more to abolish corruption in the marketplace than any other group. "They wiped out special deals, under-the-table payments, and cleaned up discrimination:' George McCague of Port Elgin, a task chairman of the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board said.

DASH WOOD Phone 237-3651 "There is nothing undercover or unexposed about marketing boards — they are in the open," said Mr. McCague. "Producers, however, have left a real void in the eyes of the public concerning their operations." Jr. Farmers hold annual About 350 Junior Farmers from across Ontario represented 7,900 members at the Junior Farmer Annual Meeting and Provincial Conference at the Prince Hotel in Toronto March 21 and 22. Representing Huron Junior Farmers were: Paul Storey RR 1, Dublin - Seaforth Club; Diane Jansen RR 2, Seaforth - Seaforth Club; Don Melady, RR 2, Dublin - Seaforth Club; Casey Van Bakel, RR 2, Dublin, Seaforth Club; Larry Murray, RR 4, Walton - Seaforth Club; Tom Melady, RR 2, Dublin - Seaforth Club; Shirley Dougherty RR 6, Goderich, Clinton, Club; Jim Phelan, RR 2 Blyth - Clinton Club and Linda Dougherty, RR 6, Goderich - Clinton Club. This year the Provincial Conference program took a look at one of the serious problems facing Junior Farmers and many other organizations - how to communicate effectively. With the theme, "Eh? What did you say?", delegates examined their personal abilities in com- municating ideas and in- formation. The program en- couraged them to experience varied techniques and hopefully develop new communication skills that will help them in their local club situation. The program considered the potential for communication through various mediums in- cluding the potential for com- munication through various mediums including the printed word, the spoken word, audio- visual aids and body language. During the annual banquet, provincial directors for 1975 were installed including Tom Melady, RR 2, Dublin, Provincial Director for Huron County. Recipients for the 1975 Junior Farmer Travel Opportunities were also announced.
