Several Meetings Following a recommendation made et the annual meeting of the Canad- ian Federation in Victoria in July, a, committee was set up to study, with all parties concerned the problems of the coarse grain situation in Eastern Canada. The committee named met on March 7th, in Ottawa and after lengthy dis- cussion decided that representatives of the Western Wheat Board should meet with representatives of the in- terested groups in Ontario, Quebec and the maritimes, The Ontario meet- ing was held in Toronto on April 14th. Following this latter meeting is was decided to hold a meeting of represen- tatives from the three eastern areas for a discussion on eastern policy in regard to coarse grain problems. Mr. Jasper was one of the three men from Ontario to take part in these talks. The following are the highlights of this last meeting which Mr. Jasper outlined to this newspaper following his return from Ottawa last week, Eastern Storage Two recommendations were made, viz. the elimination of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange and secondly the placing of course grains in eastern storage by the Wheat Board for dis- tribution during the all-rail season in winter. In connection with the first recom- mendation it was decided to set aside any action on this matter for the pre- sent time. It had been pointed out at the separate meetings by the Wheat Board that even with the elimination of the Winnipeg`Grain Exchange the eastern farmer would still suffer from fluctuating prices because the export market would still be influenced by the Chicago 'Grain Exchange. The Canadian export market during the last year and a half has been the larg- est in the history of 'the country due to the fact that Japan and Germany are buying barley for food purposes. In connection with the second re- commendation: If coarse grain can he made available to eastern buyers, from storage in eastern elevators, rather than from the lake-head during the times when rail facilities are being taxed to their utmost, it would elimi- nate the problem of speculators taking advantage of an unnatural situation in market conditions. It has been proved in the past that grain held by private interests in Ontario rises sharply in price as soon as the handling facilities at the lake- head are being taxed beyond their capacity and therefore the 'eastern farmer suffers. The recommendation has therefore been made to have the Wheat Board ship grain. over and above market demands, by water, and have it placed in storage in eastern Canada, This surplus would then be sold to eastern farmers at times when lack of rail transportation would al- low speculators to unload private stocks at high market prices, Market conditions of the past have proved that the eastern buyers are an important market for the western producer, and while at the moment they are not the largest portion of the outlet for western coarse grains, it could easily be, that in the future, the eastern area will be once again using more coarse grain than all the other markets, available to the western pro- ducer, put together. For this reason the eastern group felt the Wheat Board should look after the cost of storage. This has been one of the main problems between the eastern and western representatives. This latter recommendation will be passed on to the Minister of Trade and Commerce, the Hon. C. De Howe and to the Wheat Board and the rep- resentatives of eastern consumers of coarse grain. HOMING PIGEON GOT LOST Mr. Ralph Verbeke, a News-Record subscriber at Leamington R. R. 2, has a homing pigeon that didn't go home. Mr. Verbeke believes that the bird, which arrived at his farm recent- ly, is a homing pigeon that got lost. He fed the bird, and when it didn't leave, penned it up. The pigeon wears a band reading "A.U. 53, 427 N.E.C." Mr. Verbeke is a former resident of this district, and thinks the bird might belong to a pigeon fancier here, The pigeon may be claimed by the owner at Mr. Verbeke's home.—Delhi News- Record, F77,0001,.8.0,1,0 • 0,10 001-0 0 0100. .100,00e t4PAP 4.0 "Mtich has been said concerning markets for agricultural products which, It has been suggested, have dis- appeared.

Certainly, no one can be critical of any regula- tion that ensures a proper quality of standard of cleanliness in food. At the same time, is it possible that on oc- casions the pure mechanics of distri- bution are considered as the end, rather than as a means to the end of putting food on the table of the con- sumer. It seems to me that this whole matter of the distribution and hand- ling of food products could be explored quite profitably with the thought that practices or regulations may be found that have outlived their usefulness and which are only contributing to higher retail costs, If this situation does exist, it can only have the effect of, lessening consumption and of low- ering the return to the farmer. "As I pointed out, farmers quite properly are concerned lest the amount they receive for their product gets out of balance with the amount they are required to pay for the things they must buy. On this balance depends the standard of living the farmer enjoys. Its may well be that a study of handling and distribution costs could result in eliminating un- necessary costs and thereby making Are You Planning to Build This Year? IF SO ORDER YOUR SASH• EARLY !

Y. Mc- Lean, member for Huron-Perth, stated in the House of Commons last week. "In contributing as he has done to the economy of the district, the farmer at the same time haa-increased the value of his farm plant and the stock which he owns. During the period 1931 to 1951 the value of livestock on Huron farms increased from $7,473,000 to $36,278,000 or five times as much. Dur- ing the same period, the value of live- stock across Canada increased less than four times. The situation at the time of the last census was that the county stood first in the Province with respect to its agricultural worth. "The farmers in Huron-Perth quite properly are concerned that an equit- able balance be maintained between the return which they receive for their produce and the cost of the products which must be purchased. There is, of course, a demand on the part of the consumer of food products for lower prices, and this is only natural. Un- fortunately, however, the consumer in demanding lower prices sometimes tends to place the entire blame for the cost of food on the primary producer. In doing so, the consumer forgets that, included in the price of the food he buys is an increasingly higher I I IIIII IIP llllll llllllllllll 011118101 lllll 1 llll 1111111111111111 llllllll FOR FIRE, LIFE & AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE Call Stewart A.
