Contract Production Is Far From Popular By Eldon Stonehouse in The Globe and Mail There is a growing trend toward, contract production among Ontario 'farmers, which gives the man on ;he land something similar to in- dustry's guaranteed annual wage. This type of farming, which has. become most' noticeable in the broiler industry in recent years, eliminates most of the gamble in agriculture, but, at the same time makes the farmer virtually an em- ployee of the processor, something many farmers don't care to be. sulogroptiumumicuttuillicfluniviguiefinuirowirnimpluslionoli armic et s it U ▪ BL A NKE TS 7 0 x'90 afaTous ibex sul,solildards Reg, 56.50 for $5,69 U N U U U U w FRIDAY S Be on hand foHrToiSirPEtafibil.:1,07 SUPER VALUES • SLIPS for $1.08 - reg, $2,93 I NYLONS for 630 - reg', 39c and 'Inarry 'ether big yalues • on sale at 7 on.

This I believe even though I am wordly enough to sometimes wonder "What bro. then am I"? A "dog eat dog" policy is bad, when practised by a, few groups, in any economy; when all groups enter the fight it means ruin. It seems to me that our farm groups must provide a, sane ex- ample of moderation, even though our patience ,,fs sorely tried by the day and enjoyed a picnic in the: park.

By the time, this appears you, will, no doubt, heave heard considerable comment, The first reaction will be that the 'support price is too low, Let us consider just 'what this means, First we. must agree that the 'goverment has no desire to go into the turkey business and I don't think the turkey growers 'would want it to; thus the price had tO be low. However), to ta.ke legal action on import bans or quotas a support price had to be set which Was the real reason for setting it. Secondly the price had to be low in view of the experience of the U.S. govern- ment in price setting, Some people learn by the experience of others, which is cheapest; others learn by their own experience which is sometimes painful and expensive; some never learn which',is disas- trous. As a result or government action previously turkeys are currently selling in California for 15e and 16e a lb. and were being imported into Canada in quantity:thus we can be thankful to the government for making it legally pasible to im- pose import bans andquotas which I understand has already been done, Again we might consider a higher support price, U.S. has gone to great lengths to give 90 to 95% parity price to farmers; the result is huge surpluses, They have tried to control production in grain crops by their soil .bank plan yet after spending huge amounts to re- duce acreage, production increas- ed. Now they are facing interna- tional cliffiCulties in trying lo dis- pose of government owned grain. United States, has, by these polio. Fes, earned the doubtful distipet- ion of being the first country to have a national debt greater .thar the total assessed value of the pro- perty of the country.. . • - I realize that farmers are work- ing at a disadvantage in Canada but I think we should learn from the experience of the U.S; and real- ize that governmen,'‘ buying of farm produce Is not the answer Industry a similar problem, Iii the steel industry expenses are in, creasing at the rate of 9% in, thr past year while production effic- iency has increased only 5%. This is the same process as buying, a farm and growing a cash erer year after yeat without returning any fertility to the land, Farmer; know that eventually there will be Farm Croups Must Provide. Salle Examplp of Moderation The matter was discussed re- cently by farmers in Toronto to attend a meeting of a marketing organization. To many the opera- tion was "nothing more than share- cropping, no matter what anybody pans it," There are various ways of setting up an operation. Sometimes ti ic processor will supply .a farmer with chicks, for instance, then supply him with the feed to bring :hem to maturity, The farmer pr /ides labor and buildings, and when the birds are marketed tile farmer is given a percentage, which amounts to a wage for look ing after the crop. In other instances the farmer pays a set amount for the stock, pays for the feed and is guaran- teed e certain price when harvest rolls around, Here again, much of the risk has been removed, but so has the farmers independence, He is still, in the view of many, working as a sharecropper and missing opportunites for larger gains. Recently, there have been In- di6ations that some packing firms Will produce hogs oil such a basia, More or less hiring farmers to look after piglets from weaning time until market age, As far as members of the Ont- ario Hog Producers' Association are concerned this is a threat to their organization, which seeks to put control of hog marketing the hands' of the producer, forcing packera to bid in open competition for the animals when they go to Market. • There is a feeling too, that the Contract system if successful Wit poultrY and hogs, may spread ,to other lines, including beef cattle. The fear of organized farmers is that, while such a System does ,guarantee a certain Morrie, It 'gives tdo much control to the pro- eessor and leaves the farmer open to tight squeeze, • The broiler industry, a Member of the hog organization explained', 'is down the drain as far as inde- pendent or organized preduction is concerned, "and sonic of the )t don't care too much for the drain they have gone down."
