Des- pite the current housing shortage, he had no difficulty in finding accommo- dation, for he was promptly given shelter in private residences, boarding houses, hotels, restaurants and even in the fire station. Crisp and fresh, with green covers, the new books, largest in the com- munity's history, now take over the duties so ably performed in the past by their well-thumbed, buff-covered predecessors. Expected to remain in town for the next 12 months, more than 1,150 copies were mailed to local subscribers. Because the new directory has near- ly 1,800 new and revised listings, a number of them in the Windham sec- tion, W. G. Hamilton, Bell Telephone manager here, urges telephone users to refer to it before placing local and distance calls, "In that way", he ad- ded, "the wrong number nuisance will be greatly reduced and the standard of service maintained," Mr. Hamilton also suggested that subscribers discard the old directory with its outdated listings in order to avoid referring to it in error. An indispensable adjunct to the so- cial and business life of this commun- ity, the new telephone book has also been distributed to Bell subscribers in Harristori, Walkerton, Hanover, Dur- ham, Drayton, Lucknow and Mount Forest.

Morrison, Alvin- ston, Vice-President, stated on behalf of the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture in Toronto today. At the Inter- national Plowing Match in Kingston, President R, A. Stewart endorsed Mr. Morrison's statement, "Our Provincial Federation office is being flooded with demands from farm organizations in all parts of the prb- :Once that the dominion government clarify immediately its western feed ,grain policy, and with reports of tragic liquidation of livestock," said IvIr. Morrison. "A wire from Prince Ed- ward county Federation is typical, stat- ing that 5,000 laying pullets were sold for meat in that county to one buyer during the last week, and that great numbers of brood sows are being sold daily for slaughter, Lanark and -Ren1 frew counties are demanding that any increase in feed grain prices be absorb- ed in increased subsidies, and an im- mediate announcement of dominion government policy. Grey, Bruce and Dufferin counties are demanding a pro- vincial livestock conference to avert 'a major catastrophe.' Huron County farmers are holding a protest meeting at Clinton tonight. Other meetings arc taking place elsewhere throughout the province. "Despite Ontario farmers desperate need for feed grains, no substantial shipments front, the Bayport elevators have been made to Ontario dealers for the past three weeks," said Mr. Mor- rison, "Millions of bushels are being held there in expeetation of a govern- ment announcement of an increased price or removal of the ceilings. This expectation arises out of the recently announced increased price• for wheat under the British contract,- and repeat- ed government predictions of an early removal of the remaining ceilings, A recent dominion government statement was that such action was being post- poned temporarily only because of the packinghouse strike. "Farmers are doubly afraid of this step because they have been told that the present feed grain subsidies are to to be removed at the same time," said. Mr. Morrison. "Thus eastern farmers would have to absorb .a price increase and the loss of subsidies of ten cents a bushel on oafs and twenty-five cents a bushel on barley and wheat. It is pre- dicted that the total increased cost tt the farmer would be substantially more than double these amounts. These feed cost increases would come on top of in- creases of $10 to $13,a ton in mixed feeds which 'became effective a feW weeks ago with the removal of mixed feed ceilings. "We have been told that the feed grain ceilings and subsidies will remain as long as the ceilings remain on meats, and this would provide some relief. But only part of our livestock production goes into the domestic mar- ket. The pork, beef, eggs and cheese which go to Britain go under contract prices which tend to determine the do-. mestic prices, and these contract pric- es are not sufficient to permit substan- tial cost increases. In fact, cost in- creases already hitting us have forced many farmers to reduce production. This is tragic both. for our own farm people and for the needy people of Britain and the people of Europe with whom Britain is sharing some of her means. "Our farm people are making three principal demands. First, they are de- manding that the government, which sells our products to Britain and which therefore largely will be, setting the price of our livestock products even after all domestic controls are ended, maintain a fair relationship between our costs and the prices we receive for our livestock. Second, they want a vig- orous government effort to move feed grains from the west in sufficient quan- tities to take care of their winter re- quirements. Third, they demand,that the government settle its feed grain policy and make it known for a suffic- iently long period in advance to remove the fears arising out of present uncer- tainties and to enable producers to do a maximum production job and do it with confidence. "We met with the dominion minister of agriculture, the Rt. Hon. J. G. Gar- diner, at the end of last year, to con- sider 1947 production goals," said Mr. Morrison. "We accepted those goals gladly, even though they meant anoth- er year of strenuous effort with inade- quate help, on the understanding that our returns would be sufficient to en- able us to get by. There have been small price increases during the year, but with time increases have gone in- creases in costs which have decreased our real returns. We have gone ahead and produced in line with these goals to the best of our ability, and we feel that it is up to Mr. Gardiner and the government on whose* behalf he ',poke to keep their part of the bargain." Signed; W, V. Roy, Sec.-Treas., Huron County Federation of Agriculture.
