HARPER CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT' 40 The Square, Goderich Telephone 524-7562 4 Agricultural Tidbits WITH ADRIAN VOS. Bob Eaton, Parliamentary assist- ant to Ontario's Ministry of Agric- ulture and Food, had some verC interesting remarks to make in a recent speech in Lindsay, with regards tO the criticism on Market- ing Boards. At the same time that Professor .Forbes • condemned marketing boards with 'quotas in the name of the Food Prices Review- Board, these same marketing boards had reasonable and stable prices for their products. Overall, 'prices went up 16%. The lowest increases, however were in the very products Professor Forbes said ..that marketing boards were setting unduly high prices on. Homogenized milk went up 3%. Grade A turkeys had gone up 1%, and the. eggs had gone up 5%. Those products sold without the benefit of a marketing board with quotas, as fresh tomatoes, up 64%, and these came in from other countries;. Red Brand strip loin steak up 52%", potatoes up 27%, and salmon up 21%. The overall increase in price to the restaurant trade was 43%. The regulated products however went up least. The restaurant paid 12% more for milk, 8% for grade A turkeys, 5% for chicken and 17% for eggs.. All well under the average 43% increase. The real, inerease was in the unregulated product, sugar up 118%, shorten- ing 81%, beef fat 86%, potatoes 46%, salmon 56%, coffee 28% and steak up 44%. "It is interesting to note," Mr. Eaton said, "that over that same period of time, producers under the marketing boards that Professor Forbes was condeming for unduly high prjces, gave indica- tions that, they had a stable and reasonable return on their prod- uct:" He also blamed tariffs and export quotas as causing artificially .high prices and referred again to milk, dairy products, eggs, broiler chickens and turkeys, none of which had import restrictions. Looking at these facts, he suggest- ed that Professor Forbes should be analized as to performance._ Summing up, Mr. Eaton said: "Really what - we are saying to ourselves when we access perfor- mance is how well you took an interest in your board or the marketing of your product, how well you support your board, the type •of 'people you elect tO your board and the type of management they hire. Given some commitment to these items,' marketing boards can claim an increasingly important role in the development of a strong- agricultural industry in Ontario." ZION N.F.U. NEWS By Grace Austin. "Self interest leads to self destruction. For too long farmers have been living off .one another instead of 'for one another". These were some of Jim Shel- don's remarks at . the January meeting Of Local 335 at the home of Lorne and Doreen McDonald. Jim is one of the Region 3 Directors and comes from Highgate, Ontatio. The National Farmers Union isn't something that you pay a membership into and expect some_. one to do something for you. It is members working together'towards the common goal of trying to solve farmers' problems. Rebuilding rural communities and repopulat- ing rural areas by keeping the family' farm are aims of the NFU. This is accomplished by promoting new legislation where needed and changing existing, legislation when necessary. A, great deal of pressure has been put on Governments on behalf of beef farmers by letters to M.P.'s and Cabinet Ministers, phone calls to Federal Ministers from Locals all across Canada and presentations to Provincial • and Federal Govern- Inents. The immediate establish- Ment of a National Meat Authority which will insure that producers have an inptit into the prices they receive for livestock is NFU policy. • Land use, land ownership and the high price of farm land was discussed. With the high interest rate, the farmer buying land isn't making money. It was noted also that food could be cheaper at the farm gate &land value was not so high. An informal discussion on the increase of the membership fee to $100 took place. .There was some feeling that the increase is fairly steep, but members realize —that this is the only means which the NFU has to finance its organiza- tion. Farmers pay fire insurance, Wind insurance, etc. for. protection. In comparison, a fee of $100. is really a small amount to belong to a Union working for the total farm investment. Local 335 members present at the meeting were Jackie and Bev McNay; Mayme and Charlie Wilk- ins; Maxine and-Lorne Luther; Rita Howard; Joe Courtney; Finlay MacDonald; Wm. Johnston; Jim and Pat O'Neil; Grace and John Austin; Doreen and Lorne McDon- fla PURPLE GROVE Mrs. Bob Thonipson, Robbie and Todd spent Sunday afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Don Miller and family in Kincardine.
